Terms & Conditions
Membership Fee Guidelines
The subsequent paraphrasing summarizes the core principles regarding membership fees outlined in the Articles of Association of the American Chamber of Commerce in Belgium (AmCham Belgium), as published in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette, which legally supersede the following.
The membership fee is payable upon receipt of an invoice. Any member whose membership fee remains unpaid for a period of thirty days or more after receipt of a second payment reminder is deemed to have resigned its membership but remains liable for payment of dues for that year.
Membership automatically renews on its anniversary. A member wishing to resign must send notice in writing by post, courier, or email. Notification of resignation must be received by the Chamber no later than three months prior to the expiry of the current membership period. If such notification of resignation is not timely received, the member remains on the membership list and is liable for payment of dues for the subsequent year.
In no event does any resignation or exclusion of any member entitle such member to any assets of the Chamber nor to any refund of dues already paid.
