Institutional Partner Terms

These terms apply to an embassy, a consulate or another diplomatic post that lends its support to the Club.

They take effect when you complete the partner form on the Club's website, accept these terms and sign. Ticking the box and typing your name is your signature, and it binds the company you name as much as a signature on paper would.

Nothing here replaces the Membership Terms. A partner is not a member, and holds no member entitlement unless the Club admits it as one separately.

There is no fee, no payment and no purchase between us. Your support is the association itself.

The Club does not solicit funds from you, does not act on your behalf, and does not seek any official status beyond what you state in writing.

The Club may state factually that your post supports the initiative, in the wording you approve. It may not describe that support as accreditation, recognition, patronage or endorsement unless your post uses those words itself.

The Club does not speak for your post or for the State it represents, does not present itself as an official body, and does not use the association to obtain an advantage from a third party.

Official names, emblems and coats of arms are used only with your written permission and exactly within it. Permission is revocable at will: on request, the Club removes the mention or the emblem immediately, and in any event within seven days, without asking why.

An invitation to a Club gathering is an invitation, never an expectation. Your attendance, or that of any officer, implies nothing about the Club's positions.

Where an officer of your post speaks at a Club gathering, the Club submits any announcement mentioning them for approval before publication.

Each of us may use the other's name to describe the partnership factually, and neither of us may use the other's name or marks to suggest an endorsement of a product, a price or a third party.

The Club publishes your logo only once you have given permission in writing, and displays it according to any brand rules you supply. Until then the Club writes your name in plain text — and the Club's own database refuses to store a logo against a partnership that is not signed.

Either of us may withdraw that permission at any time, in writing. The Club removes the logo at its next publication of the site and in any event within seven days.

This is not a contract for services, an agency, a partnership in the legal sense, a joint venture, or an employment relationship. Neither of us may commit the other to anything.

It is not exclusive. The Club may accept partners in the same sector, and you are free to support any other organisation.

The Club does not promise attendance numbers, business introduced, coverage, or any commercial outcome. What the Club promises is what this document says it gives, and nothing beyond it.

The partnership runs for twelve months from the date you sign, and renews for a further twelve months unless either of us says otherwise.

Either of us may end it at any time, in writing, without giving reasons. Your name comes off the partners page at the next publication of the site.

Ending the partnership does not undo an occasion already held, and does not entitle either of us to a refund or a payment, except where the section on fees says so.

The Club holds the details you give on the form to run the partnership, and handles them as set out in its Privacy Policy. Your signature record — the version of these terms, the name signed and the moment — is kept for as long as the partnership runs and for six years afterwards.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, and sit alongside the Terms of Use, the Code of Conduct and the Privacy Policy.
