• Cancellation of Membership

  The administrator may cancel an existing membership and/or reject a new membership application at any time, and for any reason. A member may cancel his or her membership for any reason, but must allow seven (7) days for the cancellation to be processed.

  If the administrator cancels a membership, he will attempt to notify the affected member via e-mail, using the member's most recently-recorded e-mail address, except when all attempts (by the administrator, the website, the e-mail list, or any combination thereof) to send e-mail to the member's most recently-recorded e-mail address have failed for two consecutive weeks.

  If a member decides to cancel his or her membership, the member must notify the administrator of the cancellation. Once the membership is cancelled, the administrator will attempt to send a cancellation confirmation to the member via e-mail, using the member's most recently-recorded e-mail address.
