2. All members receive a secondary sports accident insurance benefit with a cash deductible.

3. No membership under any circumstance is transferable or refundable.

4. All members must submit valid Proof of Date of Birth within 30 days of membership purchase. Acceptable forms of proof of Date of Birth would be a photocopy of a government issued Birth Certificate or a photocopy of a Government Travel Passport document recognized by the U.S. Government for International Travel. The document must not be expired and contain the Date of Birth and member’s name as part of the document. Members renewing an existing valid membership, or one that has expired in the past 90 days, do not need to provide proof of date of birth as part of their renewal process, if they have provided proof of Date of Birth to the Sanction in the past. The Sanction reserves the right to request proof of date of birth for any member

5. Important: Every rider MUST show proof of membership at race sign-up. Proof constitutes a current membership or a renewal receipt. The Sanction makes every attempt to issue a renewal notice to riders prior to their membership expiration. It is ultimately the rider and parent’s responsibility to keep all memberships current. Any points earned on an expired membership may be forfeited, as there is no grace period. Memberships must be current through the end of the point season (December 15th) to earn year-end rankings and awards.
