What is A Membership Agreement?
A membership agreement is essentially a contract between you (as the admin of your membership organization or site) and each of your members.
Each member receives their own copy with their name in the document, and both parties sign the document to indicate their agreement to follow the terms and conditions outlined in the contract.
A membership agreement can be used for any kind of membership, whether you run a membership site and your community interacts solely online, or you run an organization with members who meet in person.
Your membership agreement can be a hard copy document signed in person, a digitally signed PDF, an electronic form submitted through your website, or even just a section of your .
The agreement outlines the terms and conditions related to your members’ participation in your membership. These might include rules, guidelines, due payment schedules, minimum participation requirements and protocols for common adverse situations.
Having members read through and understand the membership agreement will help keep them accountable and responsible for the wellbeing of the entire community, and will help your membership thrive.
