RMTA Membership Terms and Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITION OF MEMBERSHIP

1. General Information
(a) These Terms and Conditions are made part of the Member Agreement for the Rocky Mountain Technology Alliance, Inc. ("RMTA") Although many RMTA programs and services are available to the general public, certain services (collectively, the "Member Services") are available only to organization or individuals who have joined as members. The board of directors of RMTA is the solely governing body and only the Board elects new board members. Accordingly, "membership" simply entitles a person to the Members Services and not any election or corporate governance rights. Member Services may change from time to time. To become a RMTA Member, you must agree to this Member Agreement (the "Agreement"). By signing the agreement or clicking "I Agree" on the application web page, you or, as applicable, your organization agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) To register as a RMTA Member, you must provide your email address, a password, your name, and the city and country where you live. This personal information, along with any demographic information you provide, is stored in an electronic file (your "Member Profile"). We hold all your personally identifying information in strict confidence, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available at www.rockymountaintechnology.org/privacypolicy.php. It is your responsibility to keep your Member Profile up-to-date. We do respond to subpoenas without notice to you.

Beginning January 1, 2007 (and voluntary prior to that date), RMTA Members are asked to pay annual dues to RMTA. The amount of dues depends upon the size and type of organization, as follows:

• Large Company (over 100 employees) $1000
• Mid-Size Company (25-100 employees) $500
• Small Company (5-24 employees) $250
• Very Small Company (1-4 employees) $100
• Academic Organization (accredited) $250
• Professional Organizations/Non-Profits $250
• Government Agency or Entity $ 0
• Individual Member $100

Your rights as a RMTA Member are personal to you and are not transferable. RMTA may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications will be effective upon notice emailed to you at the address in your Member Profile.

2. Your Content
As described more specifically in the Privacy Policy, membership in The Rocky Mountain Technology Alliance includes consent for each member to have access to the Member Profile data (the two-page Member Profile form attached to the Registration Form and Membership Agreement, and, that information in the Registration Form itself) of all other members on a confidential basis. Members may use that confidential information only for internal RMTA-related purposes, and may not distribute such information outside of RMTA or use it for any non-RMTA purpose.

Information submitted by members that is in addition to the Member Profile data described above shall be called “Your Content”, and is subject to the rules outlined below:

You should not disclose any confidential information to RMTA or any RMTA member or using any RMTA Membership Service or at any RMTA event. Except for the Member Profile data as set forth in the Privacy Policy, we don't hold any information confidentially.
