Terms & conditions for AIA membership
Please read the following terms and conditions for AIA membership. By agreeing, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions.
Eligibility and membership qualifications
By submitting your application, you affirm that you meet the eligibility requirements for the membership type selected as outlined by the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Professional status verification
AIA reserves the right to verify your professional status, educational background, and employment history as part of the application process. Providing false or misleading information may result in denial of membership.
Payment terms
By placing this order, I hereby confirm my purchase as selected and authorize AIA to charge the disclosed membership fees (“membership fee(s)”) to the credit card listed above.
A processing fee (“fee(s)”) of three percent (3%) may be applied to credit card transactions. This fee will be disclosed prior to completing your purchase.
Non-refundable fees
All fees paid to AIA are non-refundable. However, AIA recognizes that there may be exceptional circumstances. Requests for refunds will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and any refunds will be determined at the sole discretion of AIA. By submitting your payment, you acknowledge and agree to this non-refundable policy, as well as AIA’s authority to assess refund requests.
Terms of acceptance and additional responsibilities
I've read and accept AIA's Terms of Use, AIA's Privacy Policy, and any Component-specific disclaimers displayed during the membership renewal process. I understand that a condition of AIA membership is that I must be eligible for membership, and agree to abide by the AIA Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct, AIA’s Professional Standards, and any other policies that may be adopted after the date of my application.
Membership renewal and lapse
AIA memberships are subject to annual renewal. Failure to renew your membership by the specified deadline may result in the termination of your membership and loss of associated benefits. Reinstatement of membership after a lapse may require reapplication and payment of any applicable fees. To avoid lapse, members may be eligible to participate in the automatic membership auto renewal program.
Amendment of terms and conditions
AIA reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. You will be notified of any changes via email, and the updated terms and conditions will apply to you from the date specified in the notice. Continued participation or registration after the specified date will constitute your acceptance of the amended terms and conditions.
