PLEASE NOTE:
Additional or slightly different T&C's may apply at BoB Connections clubs that are run by different licence operators if applicable.
Clubs that are 'In Formation'
At BoB Connections, our commitment is to fostering thriving business communities. We understand that circumstances may arise where a club in formation does not successfully launch. To ensure fairness and clarity, the following policy applies to all membership registrations:
Existing 'Live' clubs
Payments received by the Regional Director/licencee for the one-off Registration fee and/or first year membership fees are none refundable without exception
Should the decision be made to close a live club which still has a number of active members the following will apply:
The Regional Director/Licensee will endeavour to find a place at a local BoB Connections club—either 'live' or 'In Formation'—and transfer the member to that club, honouring the remaining membership term. If fewer than three months remain on the membership, the member will be invited to renew, with any unused time from the original term honoured at the end of the renewed membership.
Should a transfer not be possible, a voucher equivalent to the pro rata value of the remaining membership will be issued. This voucher can be redeemed against future membership at any BoB Connections club, subject to availability. Please note that the one-off registration/administration fee is non-refundable and will not be included in the voucher value. Any outstanding breakfast fees or unpaid membership invoices will be deducted before the voucher is issued.
Any members who have attended more than 85% of the meetings in the preceeding 12 months period will receive a pro rata voucher less 1/26 of the annual membership paid, for each meeting that has been missed during the preceeding 12 months period. No refund of the one-off registration/administration fee will be made. Should any member or company of the club that is being closed, also be a member or company of another BoB Connections club a credit note will be issued for the remaining membership so that it can be used at the other club that they are a member of. In the even of a vacancy existing at another local BoB Connections club the Regional Director/licensee will offer to transfer the member from the club that is closing (no fee will be charged for transferring a member from a club that is to be closed to either a 'Live' club or a club that is 'In Formation') to another club operated under licence by that Regional Director/licensee
BoB Connections are structured so that a Leadership team made up from the club membership are collectively able to run meetings, administer and market their BoB Connections club utilising the online training and online tools that are provided by BoB Connections Head Office. This means that once a new club has been launched the Area Coordinater/Area Director/Regional Director /Country Director or Franchisee are not needed or required to attend any/all future club meetings.
Please Note: Refunds will not be made to any member who has paid the one-off registration fee and subsequently decides not to become a full member of that BoB Connections club and/or fails to pay the annual membership fee that becomes due for payment within 14 days of the official launch date of that club. Please also see Membership Fees, Cancellation of Membership and Transfers sections of our Terms and Conditions
Members who are deemed to have, or attempted to setup a competitive networking company, organisation, clubs, groups, events ( face2face or online) to BoB Connections will have their membership terminated immediately and they will have no right any refund.
Area Coordinators - the above refunds policy only applies to members, it does not apply to Area Coordinators who pay a one time only, non refundable payment, which covers email setup and system configuration, the cost of online training to use the online Administration and Marketing System
The above Refunds Policy superseeds all previous versions
