At the point of renewal of your membership, your renewal payment is confirmation of the continued acceptance of this contract. You may not transfer any of your rights and obligations under these terms and conditions to another person.
The Professional and Academic & Student Memberships are valid for the duration of 1 year from the day of successful payment and can be renewed on an annual basis, to extend the duration of the membership.

For online applications, you will either have sight of a confirmation page or receive an email. If you have supplied your email address, an acknowledgment that your application has been received and is being processed does not yet mean that the contract between us is formed. A legally binding contract is formed on the date your payment is successfully processed. A successful payment confirmation will be sent out when all the correctly filled registration form is submitted and payment of your membership is confirmed.
By proceeding with this application you are confirming that, as a member of the Lean Innovation Community, you will be committed to the development of others and that you intend to develop your lean and innovation skills, and professionalism continuously.
