| In order to ensure proper listings within NADCA
Directories used for consumer referrals, as well as to provide information
throughout your company, it is a mandatory NADCA membership requirement that
Regular Members apply for Supplemental Membership for each branch office.
Supplemental Members are separate branch locations of Regular Members.
Supplemental Member dues are $250 per office, payable annually.
Supplemental Members are listed in the NADCA Membership Directory and receive
all membership benefits, except that Supplemental Members are ineligible to
vote. Supplemental Members must have a NADCA-certified ASCS on staff, hold
minimum general liability insurance coverage of $500,000, as well as hold any
applicable state licenses that may be required in the state you operate for
duct cleaning and/or cutting access holes into a system. One individual cannot
serve as the certified ASCS for more than one location.

abeyance are

| Section III - Submittal |
I, the undersigned, certify that all the
information provided in this application is true and accurate. The National Air
Duct Cleaners Association, its officers, directors, committee members,
employees, agents and divisions (“NADCA”) may review my application and I will
cooperate promptly and fully in such review. I will submit to NADCA such
documents and information deemed necessary to confirm the information in this
application. All documents submitted to NADCA are the property of NADCA and
will not be returned to me. NADCA may communicate any and all information
relating to my membership application, membership status and any pendency or
outcome or disciplinary proceedings to state and federal authorities, and
others. I waive all claims relating to or rising out of review by NADCA of this
application, and I indemnify, release, discharge and exonerate NADCA for any
action taken relating to such review, including denial of my application,
revocation, suspension or other sanction for any action taken pursuant to the
rules and standards of NADCA. I understand that NADCA will deposit the dues
payment remitted with this application immediately upon its submittal, but that
deposit of the payment does not signify acceptance into the membership.
I understand that I shall be notified of membership acceptance by NADCA in writing and that receipt of this application by NADCA and the deposit of dues DO NOT constitute approval of membership.
We further understand that should we decide to withdraw this application
because of inability or unwillingness to have a staff member ASCS certified,
NADCA will refund the membership dues portion of the funds remitted with this
application, but shall retain the application processing fee. We also
understand that certification examination fees are non-refundable, regardless
of the outcome of the examination (i.e., whether the candidate passes or
fails).
Applicants must meet all membership criteria within 12 months of applying or their dues will be forfeited.
I shall not make any claims of holding NADCA membership until such official
notification, including an official Membership Certificate from the association
is received. By signing, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the
information in this application and agree to abide these terms and rules. |
