Members.
We use the term 'Member' to foster a community approach to our activities rather than a hard commercial approach. A Member is any person who has an active licence.
| Being a Member signifies that: | ||
 |
you can have a direct influence over the development of the products and services that the Foundation provides, | |
|
excess financial resources, over and above what is required to operate the Foundation, will be returned to you in better products and services or lower subscription rates, | |
|
(together with the not-for-profit status of the Foundation) the Foundation's activities are not motivated by profit and there is no pressure from shareholders to make profits from you. | |
|
it is required and expected that you comply with any licence or policy conditions published by the Foundation. | |
A FFM licence (subscription) may be paid for 12 months at a time, a Fusion licence requires a one-off payment. A notice will be sent electronically prior to the FFM expiring, followed by reminders, until the FFM is renewed or expires. If the FFM is not renewed by the due date, access to software and data services will be removed. This is not the case for a Fusion licence where only the access to data services will terminate. Please refer to our Software Termination Policy below for further details.
