I understand and agree that failure to make required prepayments may result in my membership being revoked and privileges of membership being discontinued.

I HEREBY UNDERSTAND that any fees that I have paid to date are non-refundable, unless membership is not granted.

I ACKNOWLEDGE that GAAR may refuse to sell or lease lockbox keys, may terminate existing key lease agreements, and may refuse to activate or reactivate any key held by an individual convicted of a felony or misdemeanor if the crime, in the determination of the Board, relates to the real estate business or puts clients, customers, or other real estate professionals at risk. Further, GAAR may suspend the right of lockbox key-holders to use lockbox keys following their arrest and prior to their conviction for any felony or misdemeanor which, in the determination of the Board, related to the real estate business or which puts clients, customers, or other real estate professionals at risk.

This consent applies to changes in contact information that may be provided by me to the Association(s) in the future. This consent recognizes that certain state and federal laws may place limits on communication that I am waiving to receive all communications as part of my membership.
