5.1 Where a processing/application fee is charged, this is non-refundable or will only be refunded at the discretion of ARCHTI or if the applicant changes his/her mind and does not wish to proceed within 14 days of receipt of application. This fee helps defray the cost of meetings, stationery, postage, telephone, travel, time, hire of rooms or other such expenses as may be involved in evaluating the qualifications and/or other evidence provided by the applicant to ARCHTI requesting acceptance of such qualification/s as is necessary to discover if said qualification/s meets the requirements of ARCHTI membership and registration.
5.2 Annual membership becomes due for review on the anniversary of the month in which a member first joined. Renewal membership will be granted and the offer to renew will be advised to the member.
5.3 Failure to renew within 30 days of renewal notice being sent from ARCHTI or failure to contact ARCHTI with a reason for not being able to renew within that time will be taken that the intention of the member is that he/she does not wish to continue membership. In such circumstances, ARCHTI is not obliged to continue to send reminder notices.
5.4 Should the ARCHTI member not renew membership, and that insurance cover is contingent on fully paid up membership, then ARCHTI will not be held responsible if said insurance lapses or is cancelled or declared void by the Insurance Provider.
5.5 If a member wishes to resign within the 12 month period of membership which has been fully paid; 1 month’s notice should be given to ARCHTI and a refund of the balance of remaining months will be refunded.
5.6 If an applicant or paid up member decides not to continue with their membership process but does not communicate this to ARCHTI; fees paid will remain “on our books” until such time as a refund is requested or the applicant decides the time is right for him/her to continue to process of completing membership. The original fees paid at time of application may have changed, and if so, ARCHTI reserves the right to request additional payment due or will refund to the applicant any deductions in place at that time, whichever is appropriate.
