The club rate applies when you join through an active Licensed Hub that serves your area. Otherwise the standard rate applies.

Program rules

Join through a hub. 0% off the standard rate, hub support included. The hub must be active and serve your area on the day the invoice is issued; otherwise the standard rate applies.
Term. One year, prepaid. Multi-year prepay: 5% off a 2-year term, 10% off a 3-year term. The term starts on the day the first payment is received.
Renewal. A renewal invoice for one year is issued 30 days before the term ends, and the membership extends when it is paid. Nothing is charged by itself.
After the term ends. Benefits continue for a grace period of 30 days. A membership whose renewal is still unpaid after that lapses: benefits are locked until a renewal is paid.
Allowances. Assessments, workshops and other allowances are per membership year, from the term start and each anniversary. What is not requested in a year expires at its end; nothing is carried over.
Service discounts. ICAA applies the service discount of your tier when it quotes a service. Discounts do not stack with custom pricing or statewide contracts unless approved in writing.
