Annual membership fees:

• Member companies: $2400.00

• Individual members: $150.00

Terms: Membership fees are payable in advance. They are not refundable, in whole or in part.

Normally, membership fees are payable once per year, for a period of one calendar year, January 1 through December 31. The first period and first renewal period of a new membership may have a different start, a different end date, and/or a different duration, as explained below.

The SMIF shall notify each member when each membership period is to expire, and request payment for the next period. This notice will be sent approximately two calendar months before the last day of the expiring period, and in no case less than 45 calendar days before that day.

This notice shall normally consist of an invoice sent by electronic mail. Members are responsible for informing the SMIF of their current electronic mail address. A member may request an invoice in a different form; the SMIF shall comply with reasonable requests at its own discretion.

A new membership becomes effective when the SMIF accepts the membership application and payment for one year’s membership fee. This fee is payment for first period of the new membership, which starts with this effective date, and which ends with the last day of the last full calendar month not later than the first anniversary of the start date. For example, if a member is accepted on October 15, 2003, the last day of the first membership period is September 30, 2004.

The first renewal period of a new membership shall be an integral number of calendar months, starting the day following the end of the first membership period, and ending on the following December 31. The fee for this period shall be pro-rated for the number of calendar months in the period.
