Confirmation of understanding:
I understand that membership brings certain privileges and obligations that require compliance, including the following:•

I will attend orientation within 180 days of the Association confirming my membership. Failure to meet this requirement may result in having my membership terminated.
Membership in the Association necessarily means that I am also a member of the State Association and National Association of REALTORS® and I agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the National Association, which includes the duty to arbitrate (or to mediate if required by the association), as well as the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of the Association, the State Association and the National Association. Further, required, I agree to satisfactorily complete the periodic Code of Ethics training and a reasonable and nondiscriminatory written examination on such Code, Constitutions, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations.
I acknowledge that as a member of the Association, I will be licensed to use the REALTOR® trademarks to indicate such membership, and I agree to abide by the rules governing use of those trademarks. I understand that REALTOR® is a federally registered trademark of the National Association and use of this designation is subject to rules promulgated by the National Association. Upon termination of my membership in the Association for any reason, my license to use the term REALTOR® is automatically revoked and I will immediately discontinue use of the term REALTOR® and all REAL TOR® trademarks.
I acknowledge that the log in credentials that I receive for the Lufkin MLS are to be kept private and are not to be used by anyone other than myself. I understand that sharing this information could result in being fined or my privileges being revoked.
Membership is final only upon approval by the Board of Directors and may be revoked should completion of any membership requirement, such as orientation, not be completed within the time frame established in the Association's bylaws.

NOTE: The duty to submit to an ethics complaint continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated. Any ensuing discipline will be held in abeyance until such time as the respondent rejoins an association of REALTOR® (see Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual, Section 20(e)). The duty to submit to arbitration continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while the former member was a REALTOR®.
