Terms of Service

Appo Membership Terms

Membership is annual and runs from the date when a member joins through a term of one year. Membership automatically renews for successive annual terms unless either party provides 30 days’ prior written notice.

Renewal fees are automatically deducted from the member’s payment account. Failure to pay renewal fees in a timely manner results in termination of membership and all member benefits, including access to and use of all Appo materials and the Appo member website. Appo account access and the member website will be inactivated until membership fees are paid in full.

No fees paid are refundable for any reason whatsoever.  

Appo reserves the right to change fees, member types, member benefits, and terms of service.

Member benefits vary according to membership type: Individual, Retail, and Staff membership.

Individual memberships are for private, individual photo organizers. Retail memberships are for those members who have a retail establishment associated with their business. Staff memberships are for staff members or employees of Individual or Retail members.
