INSURANCE
Bayside Women in Business Inc. (‘BWIB”) holds public liability insurance to the value of $10,000,000.

APPLICATION
On submission of a fully completed and signed application form and confirmation of payment of the application fee, the application will be considered by the Management Committee of the BWIB (‘the Management Committee”) at the next available Management Committee meeting. Successful applications will be notified by the Administrator/Secretary of BWIB. A renewal invoice for the then current membership fee will issue two months prior to your anniversary date, at which time you will have 14 days to pay the fee to continue your membership and directory subscriber listing into a new term. The Management Committee reserves the right to decline member applications. If your application is rejected you have the right to appeal the decision within one month of the notice. Other than your statutory rights as set out by Australian Consumer and Corporate Law, BWIB does not normally offer refunds for memberships. Where an initial application is made and paid online, and is subsequently declined, a refund in that instance will be offered. By submitting your application form, you agree to be bound by these terms. You may resign your membership at any time by offering notice in writing, and no refunds will be issued.
