I confirm that I am at least 18-years old.
I understand that the personal information that I have given to the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC) is for establishing and maintaining my membership with RAC and its Chapters. I understand that my membership information may be used to validate my membership status with key stakeholders: such as insurance providers. It may also be used to carry out RAC’s legal obligations under the Canadian Not-For-Profit Act.
I understand that my information will not be used for any other purpose or shared with other parties without my express permission.
As a RAC member:
- I agree to promote and adhere to the principles and objectives of the Association as set forth in its By-Laws, Scope of Practice, Code of Ethics, and Standards of Practice.
- I agree to act and express myself positively in accordance with RAC’s Values.
- I understand that I am responsible to stay engaged and informed about the Association to stay up to date in the professional application of my profession, the Association’s guidelines, and my membership obligations and opportunities.
I am strongly encouraged to obtain professional liability insurance for my reflexology practice; however, I understand that professional liability insurance is not a requirement to be a Professional Member with RAC. Should I choose not to obtain professional liability insurance, I understand that I will not be eligible to be listed on RAC’s public online referral directories (both national or provincial), nor will the Association refer me to members of the public. Furthermore, I understand that RAC cannot be held responsible for my professional activities or services.
I agree to pay a late penalty fee of $50 (or the current late fee set by the Association) if I do not renew my membership within sixty (60) days of my invoice date.
I also agree that if I do not renew my membership within six (6) months of my membership expiration date, my membership will lapse, and I will no longer be able to use the RCRT™ designation for any purpose. At that time, to bring my membership to current status, I will have to pay a rejoining fee of $75 (plus GST/HST) (or the current re-join fee set by the Association), a continuing education fee of $25 (plus GST/HST) (or the current continuing education fee set by the Association), and a pro-rated Professional Membership fee (plus GST/HST).
If my Professional Membership lapses one (1) year or more, I understand that I will need to submit any outstanding continuing education obligations from before and during the time I was not a current Professional Member to become a Professional Member once again. If I am unable to submit my outstanding continuing education obligations, or if I was not a Professional Member with RAC for more than three (3) years, I understand that I may be required to register for, take and succeed the RCRT™ Exam (passing both its written and practical components) to become a Professional Member once again and regain my RCRT™ designation.
I understand that if I have been “not-in-good standing” with the Association for more than two years, I may not be permitted to renew my membership with RAC, and I may have to register for, take and succeed the RCRT™ Exam (passing both its written and practical components) to become a Professional Member once again and regain my RCRT™ designation.
I understand and agree that membership fees are non-refundable.
