BY ENROLLING IN MEMBERSHIP IN ASHP, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. General ASHP Membership Overview
Your ASHP membership commences on the date which you join ASHP (the “Commencement Date”). Membership rates are established by membership category type in the amounts set forth on the ASHP website. ASHP has two membership cycles: June and December. ASHP offers members two easy membership payment options: (1) Annual Payment and (2) Monthly Payment.
2. Annual Payment Membership Option
- Terms and Dues
By opting to pay the total amount of your ASHP membership dues in full, your credit/debit card will be processed for the total amount of the membership cycle on the day after your membership enrollment. For payment processing purposes, your credit/debit card information is required to be on file at ASHP and will be securely stored. Your membership will automatically renew upon the expiration of the current membership cycle.
- Acknowledgement
ASHP will provide you with an email acknowledgment of your membership enrollment for your records, specifying (a) the total payment amount, (b) these terms, and (c) the cancellation policy, to the email address provided in your membership profile.
3. ASHP Membership Monthly Payment Option
- Terms and Dues
By opting to pay your ASHP membership dues via recurring monthly installment payments (the “Monthly Payment”), you authorize ASHP to charge the credit card used during enrollment (“card on file”) for the total membership dues price on a monthly basis to be evenly distributed starting the first month of your membership and ending with the expiration month of your membership term (June or December, respectively). Subsequently, renewals will automatically be processed on the first of the month or the first business day thereafter of your new membership cycle (January 1 or July 1, respectively). Unless you cancel your membership or enrollment in the Monthly Payment in accordance with these terms, payment will continue to recur on that monthly schedule at the then-current applicable rate using the same form of payment used on the Commencement Date.
