Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: October 15th, 2026
Compliance Week | ECI Insights

These Terms apply to all memberships (Single End User, Corporate, Fellows and Senior Fellows) and services offered under our brands: Compliance Week and ECI Insights (together, the “Services”). Your membership is provided by the company named on your order, invoice or receipt: Compliance Week, Inc. or Ethics and Compliance Initiative Inc (“we”, “us”). If none is named, your membership is provided by the company you originally joined.

1. Changes to Terms of Use

We may change these Terms at any time by notifying you electronically, using the email address we have on record for you. Changes take effect on the date stated in our notice. Updated terms will also be reflected in this document, accessible at any time by clicking on “Terms and Conditions” at the bottom of any page on our websites.

Your continued use of the Services after such changes are made constitutes your agreement to be bound by the revised Terms.

2. Privacy

Your registration data and other information are subject to our Privacy Policy. If you are located outside the United States, please note that your data will be transmitted to, stored in, and processed in the United States. By becoming a member, you consent to this data transfer.

3. Fees and Payments

You agree to pay all applicable Membership Fees and any charges associated with your username and password at the prevailing rates.
If paying by credit card, all charges will be billed upon receipt of the membership form and on each renewal date.
If paying by invoice, renewal invoices are due on your renewal date.
All fees and charges are non-refundable.

If you believe someone has accessed the Services using your credentials without authorization, please contact us immediately at membership@complianceweek.com.

If you have access through your employer’s arrangement with us, some or all of these terms may not apply to you. Please consult your employer for details.

4. Cancellation Policy

To cancel, we must receive your request by email or mail at least 30 days before the renewal date (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). Otherwise, the renewal will be deemed confirmed and invoicing will follow the established invoicing schedule and amounts.

Cancellation stops the next renewal. Memberships cannot be cancelled part-way through a membership year, and access continues until the end of the current year.

Once an individual or organization agrees to join, or a membership renews after the Opt-Out Deadline, they are considered a paying member. Even if payment has not yet been submitted, all fees are due and, except as set out in Section 3 or required by law, all sales are final.

No refunds of Membership Fees or any portion thereof will be provided under any circumstances.

5. Renewal

All memberships, Single End User and Corporate (including Fellows and Senior Fellows), will automatically renew annually at the regular published rate unless cancelled by the Opt-Out Deadline.
We will email the contacts on file (for Corporate memberships, the Admin contact and billing contact):
- 90 days before renewal: first renewal reminder, including the renewal date, price and Opt-Out Deadline.
- 60 days before renewal: second reminder and renewal invoice. The invoice is due on the renewal date and is void if you cancel by the Opt-Out Deadline.
- 40 days before renewal: final reminder.
You will retain all membership benefits upon renewal.
You are responsible for keeping your contact details, and your Admin and billing contacts, up to date.

To cancel, we must receive your request by email or mail before the Opt-Out Deadline.

Any special offers or discounts received during your initial registration or previous renewals may not be available upon future renewals. We reserve the right to change Membership Fees; any change will take effect at renewal and be included in your 90-day reminder.

Where a signed agreement with us states different renewal terms, that agreement applies.

6. Limitations on Use

a. Membership Access

Single End User memberships (individual): Only the registered individual may access the Services with the assigned credentials. Credentials may not be shared.
Corporate memberships, including Fellows and Senior Fellows memberships: All users must be employees of the same organization, up to the number of users allowed for your membership tier. Where a Fellows or Senior Fellows membership is governed by a signed agreement, that agreement takes precedence.
