Membership fees are payable in advance for the full twelve-month period, unless an alternative payment arrangement has been expressly agreed in writing.
The Sapphire Circle website does not process online membership payments. Applications submitted through the website are reviewed individually, and payment arrangements are communicated directly to approved applicants who wish to proceed with paid membership.

7. Cancellation and Refund Policy
Paid membership constitutes a fixed twelve-month commitment. Once an application has been approved, the membership agreement has been accepted, payment has been received and membership has been activated, membership fees are non-refundable except where a refund or other remedy is required by applicable law.
A member’s voluntary decision to discontinue participation, relocation, change in personal or professional circumstances, inability to attend events or failure to use available membership benefits does not, by itself, entitle the member to a full or partial refund.
Members may request to discontinue participation or close their membership account before the expiry of the membership period. Such a request does not ordinarily create an entitlement to reimbursement of the unused portion of the annual membership fee.
Where the Operator materially fails to provide the services required under an applicable membership agreement, or where mandatory law provides cancellation, withdrawal, refund or compensation rights, those rights remain unaffected.
Membership expires automatically at the end of the twelve-month term without further payment obligations. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
