Membership</h2> <p>These terms and conditions form the basis of the contract through which the International Bar Association will deliver membership services to its members. In becoming an IBA member, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.</p> <p><strong>19.1 Membership eligibility</strong></p> <p>Membership of the IBA is open to all members of the legal profession, including attorneys, counsellors, solicitors, barristers, advocates, members of the judiciary, and full-time professors and students of law.</p> <p>The IBA is a non-regulatory body, and membership does not entitle anyone to practice law in any jurisdiction. As a result of this, users are placed under notice that, if a formal confirmation is needed, they should take appropriate steps to verify members accreditations with members’ local governing/regulatory body such as law societies.</p><p>All membership applicants must provide full and accurate information regarding their identity and contact information. Failure to do so will result in their membership being cancelled.</p> <p><strong>19.2 Membership types</strong></p> <p>There are four types of individual membership – General, Full, Patron and Student Membership, and four types of group membership: Group, Corporate, Bar Associations and Law School membership. Full information can be found - <a href="/Join_the_IBA/Why_join_the_IBA">https://www.ibanet.org/Join_the_IBA/Why_join_the_IBA</a>.</p> <p><strong>19.3 Committee membership</strong></p> <p>IBA membership is made up of committees. They are an integral part of your IBA experience and exist to help you network, build your profile and improve your practice. The committees are divided into the Legal Practice Division (LPD), Public and Professional Interest Division (PPID), and Regional Fora. . For the complete list of committees, see the committee index page (<a href="/committees">www.ibanet.org/Committees</a>).</p> <p><strong>19.4 Membership benefits</strong></p> <p>IBA membership gives you access to:</p> <ul style=" list-style-type: none;"> <li>All IBA membership programmatic materials – hundreds of articles, films, webinars and podcasts</li> <li>Discounts to participate in IBA committee virtual conferences to keep up to date with developments in your specialisms</li> <li>Discounts to delegate fees for in-person committee events and conferences</li> <li>Free access to IBA committee webinars – an opportunity to learn and meet other delegates</li> <li>Online committee networking sessions to make new contacts and renew friendships</li> <li>Access to the wide variety of IBA reports and surveys covering areas such as gender inequality and business and human rights</li> <li>Speaking opportunities at both online and in-person events to raise your profile</li> <li>Writing opportunities in committee publications to widen your influence</li> <li>Contributing to and taking part in IBA projects – be part of and contribute to the IBA’s work</li> <li>Access to the IBA membership directory – find and reach out to new contacts</li> <li>The ability to identify and get to know future cross-border connections and working partners</li> <li>The opportunity to build cross-border cultural and legal knowledge</li> </ul> <p class="text-center"><strong>Please note that membership benefits may vary according to the type of membership. </strong></p> <p><strong>19.5 Membership fees </strong></p> <p>By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you agree that you will pay us the membership fees set out for each membership year. We reserve the right to increase the price of membership fees from time to time.</p> <p><strong>19.6 Membership term</strong></p> <p>IBA membership runs from 1 January to 31 December, and it is not pro-rated.</p> <p><strong>19.7 Credit card payments</strong></p> <p>Credit/debit card payments allow you to become members instantly. When you apply to become an IBA member, you confirm that you have obtained the prior permission of the credit/debit cardholder.</p> <p><strong>19.8 Invoices/Proformas</strong></p> <p>We issue proforma invoices rather than final invoices as we recognise income on a cash receipts basis. As such, we cannot issue an invoice until the pro-forma invoice is paid. This is a recognised practice by HMRC as per guidelines published in 1970 (see below) and allows us to comply with the VAT regulations imposed on us by United Kingdom authorities. The invoice will be issued as soon as payment is received. The proforma invoice contains all the details that would be included on an invoice, including the VAT rate charged.</p> <p><em>HMRC Published Guidelines (1970)</em><br /> ‘If you need to issue a sales document for goods or services you have not supplied yet, you issue a pro-forma invoice.’</p> <p>A proforma invoice is a valid invoice requiring your payment; it is NOT a VAT invoice (you can download the invoice once your payment has been allocated, or you can request it from the membership team at <a href="mailto:member@int-bar.org">member@int-bar.org</a>).</p> <p><strong>19.9 Membership renewals</strong></p> <p>In January of each year, we will send you a reminder by email. If we do not receive the payment by February, we will post a hard copy invoice to ensure you renew so that you can get the most out of your year’s membership. If you do not renew by 30 June, you will not be able to use your membership benefits until payment is received.</p> <p>To renew your membership, you must pay your subscription fee in full before 31 December in the respective calendar year. If the membership fee is not remitted by 31 December, your membership shall be deemed to have lapsed. However, if you decide to join in the following year, you will not be liable for payment of the previous year’s membership fee.</p> <p><strong>19.10 Membership directory</strong></p> <p>The membership directory allows you to search the IBA membership network for suitable contacts and contact other IBA members whose profiles are public. Only the individual, group, and corporate members can make use of the membership directory.</p> The membership directory is contained within the MyIBA members’ area of the IBA website. Public profiles have been designed to facilitate networking <p>opportunities for IBA members. Members can let other IBA members see your profile and learn about your areas of expertise and experience.</p> <p>The use of the IBA Members Directory containing names and addresses of IBA members is governed by these Terms and Conditions of Use and subject to this Notice of Copyright.</p> <ul style=" list-style-type: none;"> <li>i. The IBA Members’ Directory is offered to IBA members as a benefit.</li> <li>ii. IBA members listed within the IBA members’ directory have agreed to have their name displayed in the directory by joining the association. They can choose to have their name removed from the directory by setting their Make my Profile Public preference to ‘No’ or by contacting us at member@int-bar.org.</li> <li>iii. The IBA Members’ Directory is an asset of IBA, and the sale of the IBA Members’ Directory data is strictly prohibited.</li> <li>iv. No one is authorised to use the IBA members directory for any of the following purposes:</li> <li><ul style=" list-style-type: none;"> <li>a. to solicit money or property;</li> <li>b. for any commercial purpose;</li> <li>c. for any purpose in competition with IBA;</li> </ul></li> <li>v. The IBA Members’ Directory may not be recreated elsewhere or incorporated into any other list, directory, or database. Only current IBA members are authorised to use the Member Directory for networking purposes or other purposes reasonably related to their interest as a member of IBA.</li> <li>vi. IBA reserves the right to withdraw membership for improper use of the IBA members directory.</li> <li>vii. Should there be an unusually high volume of search activity, this may result in the search directory being blocked or a withdrawal of membership.</li> <li>viii. Members provide all contact information listed in the IBA members’ directory.</li> <li>ix. The IBA strives to minimise the collection and use of members’ data, endeavours to make tools available to members that will allow them to correct their details whenever possible and give them control over their information. Therefore, as much as the IBA makes an effort to ensure that the accuracy of the data we hold is correct, the IBA cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in the IBA members’ directory.</li> </ul> <p><strong>19.11 Right to cancel membership</strong></p> <p>If for any reason you wish to cancel your IBA membership, please email us at <a href="mailto:member@int-bar.org">member@int-bar.org</a>. You have a thirty (30) days cooling-off period from the date of joining the IBA, in which you can cancel your subscription without penalty. Members who cancel their membership after 31 days but before 90 days will be refunded the membership fee minus a 25 per cent admin charge. After 90 days, no refund will be given.</p> <p>You must notify us of your wish to cancel in writing by contacting the Membership Team at <a href="mailto:member@int-bar.org">member@int-bar.org</a>.</p> <p>If you have registered for an IBA conference at the member rate, you are not eligible for a refund. Refunds will be made minus any monies owed to the IBA.</p> <p>Note that any additional committees purchased outside the allowance of your membership will not be refundable.</p> <p>Refund of donations - your donation goes towards supporting the IBA Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) and its activities worldwide, promoting and protecting human rights and the independence of the legal professions worldwide (see more: <a href="/IBAHRI-About">https://www.ibanet.org/IBAHRI-About</a>). Still, if you wish to request a refund of your donation, it can be refunded in full if requested within 90 days of joining or at the time of cancelling your membership (whichever is earlier). Please email us at <a href="mailto:member@int-bar.org">member@int-bar.org</a>.</p> <p><strong>19.12 Right to refuse applications</strong></p> <p>We reserve the right to cancel your application if we cannot obtain payment authorisation from the issuer of your credit/debit card or payment by other means.</p> <p>We reserve the right to revoke your membership with immediate effect without the right of appeal if we discover that you have used false information when becoming a member or for the improper use of the IBA members’ directory. See point 10 for more details.</p> <h2>20. Event Registration</h2> <p><strong>20.1 No deductions or withholdings.</strong></p> <p>All fees payable to us by you in accordance with the terms contained in the ‘Information’ section of the Conference Programme shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever.</p> <p>If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any fees payable to us by you under the terms contained in in the ‘Information’ section of the Conference Programme you shall pay such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave us with the same amount as we would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.</p> <p>If we obtain the benefit of any tax credit or other relief by reference to any such deductions or withholdings, then we shall repay to you such amount as, after such repayment has been made, will leave us in no worse position than we would have been had no such deductions or withholdings been required.</p> <p><strong>20.2 Conference sell-outs.</strong></p> <p>The IBA places its conferences in venues of a suitable size for each event; however, there are times when our conferences may sell out. Should this happen, prospective delegates will be informed and a waiting list will operate. The waiting list will function on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, subject to receiving registered delegate cancellations. The waiting list for a conference will close once it has reached an additional ten per cent of the conference venue capacity, as it is very unlikely a place will become available. Should an individual travel to a conference without a confirmed place the IBA will not be liable for any expenses incurred, including but not limited to travel and accommodation costs.</p> <p><strong>20.3 Cancellation of conference registration or social functions. </strong></p> <p>If cancellation is received in writing at the IBA office by the cancellation deadline date, fees will be refunded less an administration charge. Deadline date and administrative charge details can be found in the Conference Programme. Refunds will be made minus any monies owed to the IBA.</p> <p>Registrations or social function bookings received after the cancellation deadline date will not be eligible for any refund of fees. Please note that no exception will be made to this policy. Should you have difficulties in obtaining your visa and are not able to attend the Conference this cancellation policy will still apply.</p> <p>Please note that the cancellation terms and conditions as indicated will apply as soon as your registration is received by the IBA.</p> <p>Provided you have cancelled your registration to attend an IBA Conference in accordance with the terms of the ‘cancellation of registration’ clause included in the ‘Information’ section of the relevant Conference programme, you must then confirm to us in writing at the IBA office as soon as possible, but in no event later than one year (12 calendar months) from the date of any such Conference, all necessary details to enable any reimbursement owed to you to be paid. We regret that no refunds will be made after the date that is one year (12 calendar months) after the date of the relevant Conference.</p> <p>The organisers may at any time, with or without giving notice, in their absolute discretion and without giving any reason, cancel or postpone the Conference, change its venue or any of the other published particulars, or withdraw any invitation to attend. In any case, neither the organisers nor any of their officers, employees, agents, members or representatives shall be liable for any loss, liability, damage or expense suffered or incurred by any person, nor will they return any money paid to them in connection with the Conference unless they are satisfied not only that the money in question remains under their control but also that the person who paid it has been unfairly prejudiced (as to which, decision shall be in their sole and unfettered discretion and, when announced, final and conclusive).</p> <p><strong>20.4 Guests. </strong></p> <p>A guest (accompanying person) cannot be a member of the legal profession nor seek to use the Conference as a business networking opportunity.</p> <p>Guests are not permitted access to working sessions, Conference refreshment breaks or Conference lunches. Checks are performed to ensure members of the legal profession, or business associates are not registered as guests. If this is the case, registration will be refused unless the guest registers as a full delegate for the Conference. Should a guest be seen attending working sessions, Conference refreshment breaks or lunches, an invoice for the full registration fee will be issued to the delegate for the guest’s participation at the Conference.</p> <p>Only registered guests (i.e., those paying the guest fee) are eligible to participate in the social programme; and the number of guests per conference and per social event is limited. Not every social event is available to guests; please see the Conference Programme for further information on eligibility. Should you require further information please contact the Conference Department on <a href="mailto:confs@int-bar.org">confs@int-bar.org</a>.</p> <h2>21.
