Global Logistics Network (GLN) Transaction & Privacy Policy:

 

TRANSACTION POLICY:
The following is extracted from the GLN Membership Agreement (www.go2gln.com/agreement.html) which members are required to sign as part of their membership application:

Membership Fees:
1) Each member shall pay an annual Membership Fee as established by the GLN President from time to time.
2) Effective with new members after January 1, 2005, it is also mandatory to pay USD 500 annually towards the Accounts Receivable Insurance Fund. This sum will be included in your initial membership invoice and every additional renewal (every 12 months).
3) Fees are payable for a 12 month period from the date of acceptance and will include an USD 25.00 Bank processing fee if funds sent electronically.
4)  In the event that payment is not received within 30 days of billing or the day of membership renewal, a $200 surcharge will be applied and the member shall be considered in default and Membership revoked if full payment (inclusive of the surcharge) is not received within the next 14 days.
5)  If renewal membership fees are not received within 30 days of the due date, it is the prerogative of GLN management to invoke the following: (a) A final reminder for payment will be sent to the member and payment must be received within 7 business days of that alert (b) If the funds are not received then the member will be placed on the Amber Alert and advised accordingly. The Accounts Receivable Fund Committee feel that if a member cannot meet or pay membership fees by a certain deadline, then how can other members expect to be paid on time on monies outstanding that might be thousands of dollars more.
6)  Resignation or revocation of Membership during the year will not entitle the Member to any refund of the Annual Fees.
7)  Annual Fees are not transferable under any circumstances.

 

Refund Policies:

Once received, GLN will not refund any monies received via Credit Card.  See the above concerning our policy of refunds on Membership fees.  Conference Fees and other refunds will be made by Wire Transfer or check only where applicable.
