Member Terms and Conditions
Standards of Conduct
The
primary purpose of the Compliance Alliance is to provide a forum for
exporting firms to network, share best practices and stay current on
export regulatory compliance issues. To achieve this goal, the
Massachusetts
Export Center
and its advisory board feel that it is important to create an
environment that emphasizes the exchange of helpful export
regulatory information while minimizing the promotion of specific
products and services targeted towards exporters.
As such, unless written permission is
obtained in advance from the Massachusetts Export Center, service providers are strictly prohibited from
marketing their products and services during networking events, via
email to Compliance
Alliance
members, or by any other means of promotion.
All Compliance Alliance members are
strictly prohibited from sharing member-only resources and
information with non-members. This includes the Compliance
Alliance member directory and other information provided in the
“Members Only” section of the Compliance Alliance website, such as
webinars and seminar materials. The MSBDC/Massachusetts Export
Center reserves the right to cancel membership for any person that
violates the terms of this policy. In such cases, membership dues
will be refunded on a pro-rated basis for the given membership
year.
Membership Term and Dues
Annual
membership dues are payable when the
prospective member’s application is submitted. The membership year runs
annually from October 1 - September 30. Once dues are received, members cannot cancel their
Compliance Alliance membership without cause.
The MSBDC / Massachusetts Export Center may, at its discretion,
adjust the fees and dues at any membership level for the Compliance
Alliance. The Massachusetts Export Center
also reserves the right to request additional documentation to
verify the appropriate membership level for any application.
Limits of
Liability
Membership in the
Compliance Alliance in voluntary and the member agrees that it will
not hold the MSBDC/Massachusetts Export Center and its agents liable
for any conduct, advice or information provided by members of the
Compliance Alliance.
Confidentiality
The MSBDC/Massachusetts
Export Center will not release the information provided in the
application, except when required under applicable federal and state
statutes, rules, procedures and regulations.
The
Massachusetts
Export
Center
reserves the right to reject any application that does not conform
to these terms.
