Downgrading your Membership
If your company decides not to renew its Associate Membership, Bluetooth SIG will downgrade your company to the Adopter level the day after your Associate Membership period ends. An email will be sent to the Primary Contact at your company notifying them that their account has been downgraded.
When you downgrade from Associate to Adopter
- Your company is no longer eligible to participate in Working Groups and policy committees
- Your company can no longer gain early access to Bluetooth specifications
- Your company must pay full price for Product Qualification Fees
- As an Adopter class Member, all Product Qualification Fees not used expire 6 months from the date of receipt of payment and corresponding Receipt Numbers will no longer be available for use as proof of payment.
For a complete comparison of Adopter vs Associate Membership benefits, including discounts and fees, visit Membership Benefits.
Please submit a support request if you have any questions about your company's membership benefits.
