Here are some details about the membership:
Membership terms
- Membership to the IGA for 12 months and is non-refundable or transferable.
- All membership cancellations must be received in writing to contact@internationalgrooms.org
- The IGA is a Company Limited by Guarantee - this means that it is a company owned by its members.

Membership fees
- Members are responsible for ensuring that the membership subscription fee is paid annually.
- Our payment provider is Stripe and payment is by card (Maestro, Visa, Visa Debit Mastercard, JCB, American Express).
- We do not store your card details.
- Your membership is set on an automatic renewal after 12 months, you can disable this in your account area.
- There is a 14-day ‘cooling-off’ period following the start of a new or renewed IGA membership during which time you are legally entitled to cancel it.
- All cancellations will incur an admin fee of 10% of the total membership fee.
- However, if the member has logged in to visit the site, it is presumed that the membership services have been utilised and thus the cooling-off period is therefore exempt.
The IGA is a brand new membership organisation, launched on the 26th April 2022, when a monumental MoU was signed with the FEI.
