Refreshing Our Terms of Service to Reflect Our Digital Evolution

As businesses evolve in the digital age, so too must the frameworks that guide how we operate and engage with our community. At the Stratford & District Chamber of Commerce, our commitment to supporting our members and fostering a thriving business environment has always been at the forefront of what we do. With that in mind, we’ve recently updated our Terms of Service to ensure they reflect the modern, digital-first world in which we all operate.

Why the Update?

The world of commerce is rapidly changing, and technology has become a cornerstone of how we connect with you—our valued members. From online resources to event registrations, payment processing, and networking platforms, our services have grown and adapted to meet your needs. However, with this growth comes the responsibility of ensuring our policies remain transparent, clear, and aligned with current best practices.

What’s New?

Here’s a quick snapshot of the key updates to our Terms of Service:

• Streamlined Payment Terms: With the increasing shift to online transactions, we’ve refreshed our payment policies to include clear guidelines for methods such as e-transfers, EFTs, and credit card payments, ensuring seamless and secure payment processes.
• Enhanced Privacy and Security: Your trust is vital to us. We’ve reinforced our commitment to protecting your personal and business information in line with the latest privacy and security standards.
• Clearer Membership Terms: Whether you’re an established business or just starting, our revised terms clarify membership benefits, renewal processes, and the steps we take to support your journey.
• User Submissions: We’ve detailed the guidelines for sharing content through our channels, ensuring a respectful and professional environment for all members.
• Dispute Resolution: Should questions arise, we’ve outlined clear steps for addressing concerns, from payment disputes to service-related queries.

These updates aren’t just about keeping up—they’re about staying ahead. By refreshing our Terms of Service, we’re making sure that your experience as a member is smoother, safer, and better suited to today’s business landscape. Whether you’re accessing resources through our website, attending virtual events, or making payments online, our terms are designed to empower you with clarity and confidence.
