Sister Chamber Terms

These terms apply to another chamber of commerce or Belgian business organisation with which the Club agrees a reciprocal relationship.

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.

Each of us welcomes the other's members at its own events, at the rate it charges its own members, unless an event says otherwise in advance.

Neither of us pays the other, and neither is obliged to hold a joint event.

Neither of us receives, copies or merges the other's member list. A reciprocal welcome is not a data transfer: a member who wants to be known to the other organisation registers with it directly.

Where a joint event requires an attendee list, it covers that event only, is shared with the people it names being told, and is deleted by the receiving organisation within ninety days.

Neither of us claims exclusivity over a territory, a sector or a community. A Belgian business may belong to both, to either, or to neither.

Where a fixture is historically run by one of us, the other does not schedule a competing Belgian event against it, and may join in organising it instead. Where a date clash is unavoidable, we tell each other before either announces.

Where a company asks either of us for a local contact in the other's area, we point to the other rather than serving it ourselves.

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.
