EASE has two categories of membership: individual and corporate (group). Membership in both categories is registered in the names of individual members, not in the names of journals or other bodies that might pay the subscription. Membership includes a free subscription to EASE's journal, European Science Editing, and a free copy of the Science Editors' Handbook.

Data Protection Act
The EASE mailing list is held on computer by the association. To comply with the provisions of the UK Data Protection Act, holders of information held in this way must ask those on the list whether they have any objection to the information being thus recorded. Potential members or subscribers should therefore note that submitting the application form will be taken as meaning that they agree to the information on the form, the date on which they join EASE, and/or their subscription status, being held on computer so that the association can send out membership material and/or the journal.
 
If you change your mind
The law gives you seven working days to change your mind and cancel an order (and any related credit agreement). There are some exceptions.
 
If you decide to cancel you need to inform the seller within the time limits shown below. This should be in writing by fax or by email. A telephone call is not enough. The time limits are:

• goods - seven working days after the day on which you receive them
• services - seven working days after the day on which you agreed to go ahead with the contract

If you have not been provided with the information relating to your right to a cooling-off period, the cancellation period will be longer.

Remember that you must take care of the goods and either return them to the seller (or his/her representative) or make them available to be collected.

If you have paid in advance, the seller must refund your money within 30 days. You may have to pay for the cost of returning the goods.
