Terms of Service

APPO Membership Terms

Membership in the Association of Personal Photo Organizers 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. The same applies to members who choose quarterly payment options. A member who chooses the quarterly payment plan agrees to a quarterly payment schedule for the full year upon membership, or upon renewal.

Our renewal process is automated for your convenience, and recurs until canceled.

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 become inactive 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.
