• From the date of registration, the applicant will be provided either directly with the permanent Member Card or with a temporary Member Card, which will be replaced by the permanent Member Card as soon as it is issued by the SNFCC A.E. In recognition of the support to the objectives of the SNFCC, which is achieved through payment of the membership fee, the Member is entitled to enjoy Members’ benefits corresponding to the Membership type s/he has opted for.
• The term of the Member Card is annual, unless otherwise indicated at the time of registration. For applications for Members’ registration that are received by SNFCC Α.Ε. until 31.10.2017 inclusive, the term of the respective Member Cards terminates on 31.10.2018. After the term of the Member Card expires, the holder–Member who wishes to continue supporting the SNFCC should file with the SNFCC A.E. a request for renewal of participation in the SNFCC Membership Program and pay to the SNFCC A.E. the respective amount for membership fee stipulated by the SNFCC A.E.

• The SNFCC A.E. bears no liability in the event that, for any reason, any Members’ benefits of the SNFCC Membership Program cannot be available to the Members or cannot be materialised. The Members acknowledge and accept that certain benefits (e.g. guided tours, special events etc.) may be available only to a limited number of Members. In this case, the Members who have demonstrated their interest shall participate on a “first come first served” basis depending on the capacity of each event.
• In case the membership registration takes place via the website of the SNFCC A.E.: www.SNFCC.org/members, the Member is entitled to request the cancellation of the membership within fourteen (14) days from the registration date, by sending a relevant request along with the Member Card to the postal address of the SNFCC Membership Program. In this case, the SNFCC A.E. shall refund to the former Member the amount of the fee s/he has paid. In any other case of cancellation of the membership (and therefore of the participation in the SNFF Membership Program) the amount for membership fee shall not be refunded.

The third party who receives the gift promotion code is entitled to be registered as an SNFCC Member anytime until the lapse of the defined membership period by using the unique identification number, either electronically via the website of the SNFCC Α.Ε: www.SNFCC.org/members, or by on site visit at the SNFCC. Registration requires filling out of the relevant application form and acceptance of the terms and conditions for participation in the SNFCC Membership Program by the third party. In case the purchase of the gift membership takes place via the website of the SNFCC A.E., the buyer is entitled to rescind within fourteen (14) days from the purchase date, by sending a relevant request to the postal address of the SNFCC Membership Program. In this case, the SNFCC A.E. shall refund to the buyer the amount of the fee s/he has paid on condition that no registration of SNFCC Member has already taken place until the date the gift promotion code is cancelled.
