The Brand Ambassadors Club Terms and Conditions. 

Comprehensive Guidelines for Membership and Organisation.

1. Introduction

Welcome to The Brand Ambassadors Club. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) outline the Club’s organisational structure, explain the rights and obligations of members, and detail the frameworks for competitions and member engagement. By joining as a member or affiliate, you agree to abide by these Terms, which are designed to create a respectful, inclusive, and thriving community.

2. Organisational Structure: Liveries

The Club is structured into Liveries, each named after a city or state to reflect regional pride and celebrate cultural diversity. Every Livery functions as a community hub, providing a forum for members who share common interests and geographical ties.

3. Formation and Joining of Liveries

• Formation: A new Livery may be proposed by a group of at least nine prospective members. Proposals must include the Livery’s name (representing a city or state), its objectives, and      initial nominees for leadership roles. Each proposal is subject to approval by The Brand Ambassadors Club’s Most Honourable Committee.
• Livery Composition: Each Livery comprises a Most Honourable Lady (the Livery’s head) and eight Ladies in Waiting, each assigned a specific role. Additional members may be invited subsequently and are referred to as Ladies of [Livery Name].
• Joining: Prospective members may apply to join the Livery most relevant to their home jurisdiction, using the secure online platform. Membership is granted based on Livery capacity and alignment with its values. Members may transfer between Liveries once per year, with the agreement of both relevant Livery Courts.

4. Chapter Courts: Structure and Election

• Leadership: Each Livery is overseen by a Livery Court, led by the Most Honourable Lady. The Court is made up of the Ladies in Waiting, who are elected officers responsible for upholding the      Livery’s mission and coordinating its activities.
• Election Process: Court members, including the Most Honourable Lady, are elected annually by      a simple majority of the Livery’s members via the online platform. All nominees must be active members in good standing.
• Responsibilities: The Court is charged with organising events, engaging members, managing Livery finances, and ensuring compliance with Club policies.

5. Secure Online Platform

The Club provides a secure online platform for member registration, communication, voting, event management, and collaboration. Members are required to keep their login credentials confidential and promptly report any suspected security breaches. This platform is the official channel for all Club communications and elections.

6. Annual Competitions

• Eligibility: All Liveries in good standing may participate in the annual competitions. Specific events may have entry requirements, which are announced in advance via the online platform.
• Rules: Each competition is governed by a set of clear rules published before the event. Judging panels may include Club members, independent experts, or affiliate representatives.
• Awards: Prizes and honours are presented at the annual Gala, and winners are featured on the Club’s platform and in Club publications.

7. Event Organisation

Each Livery’s Court is tasked with organising events, supported as necessary by the central Club committee. These events may include social gatherings, workshops, talks, and collaborative initiatives with affiliate brands. All events must comply with the Club’s code of conduct, with an emphasis on respect, inclusion, and safety.

8. Brand Collaborations and Affiliate Members

• Affiliate Members: Brands and organisations that share the Club’s values may be invited or apply      for Affiliate Membership. Affiliates can participate in collaborative events, promotional partnerships, and engage with Club members through dedicated channels.
• Privileges: Affiliate Members may sponsor competitions, contribute to events, and join select Club activities, subject to approval by the relevant Chapter Court.

9. Privileges of Ladies

Members who hold the title of Lady are entitled to additional benefits, such as priority access to events, eligibility for Court nominations, and avenues for leadership development. This title is conferred by election or honorary appointment, recognising significant contributions to the Club.

10. Amendment of the Articles of Association

Proposals to amend these Terms or the Articles of Association may be submitted by any Livery Court or through a petition signed by at least fifty members. Amendments require a two-thirds majority vote of all Club members and final approval by the Most Honourable Committee. Proposed changes and voting schedules will be communicated to all members at least thirty days in advance.

11. General Conduct and Dispute Resolution

All members and affiliates are expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct, treating others with respect and integrity. Disputes should first be raised with the relevant Livery Court. If unresolved, matters may be brought before the central Club committee for mediation.

12. Acceptance of Terms

By enrolling as a member or affiliate of The Brand Ambassadors Club, you acknowledge and accept these Terms and Conditions. The Club reserves the right to revise these Terms from time to time, with all updates communicated via the official online platform.
