Membership

• We hope that you value being a member of Visit Buckinghamshire (VB). Your investment in VB helps to fund the promotion of Buckinghamshire as a tourist destination and the support services we provide to our members. Once we receive your investment payment we would not ordinarily offer you a refund on this investment. The only exception to this is if you change your mind in the first 14 days – see ‘Cooling off’ below.
• Your membership will automatically renew after 12 months as a free member. If you have previously invested you will receive an email 15 days before your paid membership expires, asking if you’d like to re-invest or continue as a free member only. 
• You can upgrade your membership at any time by increasing your investment level. If you upgrade part way through the year we will deduct from the new investment amount the remaining investment monies. As an example: You invested £150 six months previously and you now want to upgrade to a £500 member package. Your £500 package will begin today and last for a year.  We will deduct any balance from your original package - in this example £75 i.e. half of the original £150 package. You would pay £425 + VAT (£500 minus £75).  
• Cooling off. If you change your mind within 14 days of making an investment in VB we will refund your payment. If you have used any of the VB services within the first 14 days we reserve the right to deduct the value of this from the refund. Complete the Feedback Form to request a refund.
• As an invested member you can submit content to the website. VB reserves the right to remove or edit any content submitted by you. We expect our members to remain respectful, professional and courteous at all times. We aim to provide a website platform that contributes to the betterment of Buckinghamshire as a place to grow tourism. 
• VB reserves the right to amend or withdraw any specific membership benefits you receive as a result of your investment with us.
• If you wish to cancel your membership of Visit Buckinghamshire please complete the Feedback Form or email info@visitbuckinghamshire.org. We would really welcome your feedback so please tell us why you no longer wish to be a member.
