  6. You may terminate your Membership at anytime, but no refunds will be given. You must pay the Membership dues for the remainder of the Term. If you terminate the Membership before the end of the Term, you agree to pay Femworking the balance due for the remainder of the Term.
  7. If you violate these terms, Femworking reserves the right to terminate your membership. Femworking will notify you immediately by email in the event of termination. Femworking also reserves the right to terminate your membership for any activity that demonstrates moral turpitude or violates Femworking’s standards.  The terms of this Agreement shall survive any termination.

    Femworking will use videos, photos, images and/or audio from Events as a part of its marketing campaigns and programs.  Attendees of the Event may be featured or acknowledged in any such marketing campaigns and/or programs.

Spam, also known as junk mail, is an unsolicited bulk email message. Unsolicited means that the recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively identical content. Spam, includes any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation. The term “spamming” refers to transmitting, distributing or delivering any unwanted e-mail correspondence, especially in mass quantities, through the electronic means of communication. This prohibition includes but is not limited to (a) using the Services to send messages to people who don’t know you or who are unlikely to recognize you as a known contact; and (b) collecting business cards at Events of people you did not meet and adding them to your mailing list. This policy does not prohibit sending an email to a Member in order to inquire about that Member’s services.
