Membership Refund Policy

1. General Information
   The International Society for Comparative Physical Education and Sport does not allow for the refund of membership purchases unless there are exceptional circumstances. Where exceptional circumstances can be shown to exist, the pro rata amount of the 2008 membership fee not exceeding 6 months may be refunded at the discretion of the Membership Chair. Refund of membership fees shall incur an administration fee of $10.00 (U.S. Funds) which shall automatically be deducted from the amount of the refund.
2. Exceptional Circumstances
   A member may apply for a refund in the case of financial hardship or due to a change in personal circumstances or career change. Exceptional Circumstances do not include the taking of sabbaticals and/or extended service leave. A partner or spouse may apply for a refund within the guidelines of this policy if the death of the members occurs during the 2008 membership period.
3. Overpayment Refund
   Where an error has been made by ISCPES or a banking facility which results in an overpayment being made, the Membership Chair may, in consultation with the member, refund by either a credit of the overpayment to the membership, or alternatively by cheque for the full amount of the overpayment. Cheques will be sent within 30 days to the members on file address. Where a member is responsible for the overpayment, the amount will be credited to the membership.
4. Terms and Conditions of ISCPES Membership Products and Services
   ISCPES policy only allows services to be provided to members in good standing. If a member fails to pay their membership dues within one (1) month of the due date, the member will not be entitled to the privileges of an ISCPES membership. Membership in ISCPES can be re-instated on payment of the dues. If an individual's membership is not in good standing they may not use the ISCPES membership card or claim to be a member of the ISCPES.
5. Transfer of ISCPES Membership
   Personal and Institution memberships are not transferable.
6. Additional Costs incurred during the processing of ISCPES Membership Dues
   The member will be responsible for all unexpected costs incurred by the ISCPES incurred in the processing of membership fees. Such costs include (but are not limited to) dishonoured cheque fees or bank charges made as a result of insufficient funds or accounts having been closed.
7. Changes in Work Status
   No facility exists to reduce membership fees during the current membership period in relation to a transfer or a change in status. In all circumstances membership will be charged at the prescribed rates. It is the responsibility of members to notify ISCPES of any changes to their membership status. In the event that this fails to happen, no refunds will be given.
8. ISCPES Publications
   ISCPES offers a 30-day exchange on all products including books and other information-based items. If you would like to exchange and item, please contact our Membership Chair at Richard.Baka@vu.edu.au.
