Effective date: November 4, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Suburban Essex Chamber of Commerce website, member accounts and online payments. By using the website, creating an account or paying dues, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1. Member accounts
- You must give accurate, current information when you join and keep it up to date.
- You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else has used it.
- An account should represent one member business or individual. Please don’t create accounts for others without their permission.
2. Membership and dues
- Membership levels and annual dues are listed on the Membership page and shown before you pay. Dues may change; any change applies from your next renewal.
- Membership runs for 12 months from the date your payment is processed. Online payments are one-time charges and are not renewed automatically — we will remind you before your membership expires.
- Membership benefits, including your Member Directory listing, are available while your membership is active.
- Membership dues are generally non-refundable once processed. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us within 30 days and we will review it promptly.
- Membership dues paid to the Chamber may not be deductible as charitable contributions. Please consult your tax advisor.
3. Payments
Payments are processed securely by Authorize.net. By submitting a payment you confirm that you are authorized to use the card and that the information you provide is accurate. We may refuse or cancel a transaction we believe is fraudulent or made in error.
4. Events
Event details, prices and availability are subject to change. Unless an event listing says otherwise, event fees are payable as shown on the event page. If the Chamber cancels an event, we will refund any fee you paid online for that event.
5. Your content and directory listing
- You keep ownership of the business information, logos, photos and other content you add to your profile (“Your Content”).
- You give the Chamber a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to display, reproduce and share Your Content on this website, in the Member Directory, and in Chamber newsletters, social media and event materials, to promote you and the Chamber.
- You confirm you have the right to share Your Content and that it is accurate and lawful.
- We may edit or remove content that is inaccurate, offensive, infringes someone else’s rights or otherwise violates these Terms.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Member Directory or member information to send unsolicited bulk email or spam;
- Post anything unlawful, misleading, defamatory, harassing or that infringes intellectual property;
- Try to access accounts, data or parts of the website you are not authorized to use, or interfere with its security or operation;
- Scrape, copy or resell directory content.
7. Website content
The website design, text, graphics and Chamber logos belong to the Chamber or its licensors and may not be reused without permission. Information about communities, events and members is provided for general information; we try to keep it accurate but cannot guarantee it is complete or current. Listing a business in the directory is not an endorsement by the Chamber.
8. Links to other websites
Links to member and third-party websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content, products or services.
9. Suspension and cancellation
You may cancel your membership or close your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or remove an account or directory listing that violates these Terms or the Chamber’s by-laws.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The website is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Chamber disclaims all warranties, express or implied, and will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the website. Our total liability for any claim relating to the website will not exceed the amount you paid the Chamber in the 12 months before the claim.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Essex County, New Jersey.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective date” above shows the latest version. Continuing to use the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
