TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP

Our aim is to ensure that you have a positive and enjoyable experience throughout your time in Membership with the DRC Kenya Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

We also hope you will benefit fully from all available services and opportunities we offer. The following terms and conditions therefore are intended to be as simple as possible.

1. Membership is open to companies and other organisations regardless of their location. Members do not have to have a base in Kenya or DRC in order to become a member. Chamber Membership is open to companies or other organisations and not to departments within organisations.
2. The Chamber Membership is a business entitlement rather than a personal one. All employees of the Member are therefore entitled to all the Chamber benefits and services when working on behalf of their member employer.
3. Membership is for a minimum period of 12 months and payment is to be made when a member joins or at the time of their renewal date. The Chamber Membership fee is non-refundable, Membership is non-transferable and Membership fees are based on the membership package option chosen.
4. From time-to-time Chamber Members’ details may be made available to third parties as part of a mailing list. Information you provide in respect of your news, offers and events might, from time to time, be showcased further across Chamber channels (including social media and other publications).
5. The Chamber regularly communicates with Members by email, post and telephone. We aim to only approach our members with information which we believe could be of interest to them. This is an integral part of the Membership and by entering into Membership you agree to be contacted by the Chamber. The regular communication can be terminated at the Member’s request at any time.
6. Members are entitled and encouraged to take advantage of the various opportunities the Chamber offers but there is never any obligation or pressure to use any of the services provided by the Chamber or its partners. Any agreement between the Member and the Chamber’s partners are strictly between the two parties, and are not the responsibility of the Chamber.
7. The Chamber Membership benefits are subject to change without notice and are subject to terms and conditions available from the Chamber.
8. By signing this form you are entering into a legal agreement to join the Chamber. You may cancel the agreement by giving the Chamber a written notice within 14 days of the date of the agreement.
9. Membership entitles the Member to one standard entry in the Members Directory, all under one company name. Similarly, only one company name can be used for any other Chamber publications.
10. The Membership is subject to Chamber Board approval and the Chamber reserves a right to refuse Membership without disclosing any reason.
11. Membership is subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Chamber (available on request) and in the event of a conflict between these terms and conditions and the Articles of Association, the Articles shall prevail.

The Chamber shall have no liability for any losses suffered by a Member as a result of using services offered by a fellow Member. The Chamber shall have no responsibility for advice given or services provided by its third-party service providers even though such providers may have been introduced to the Member by the Chamber.
