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 all user account holders 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
• Can no longer gain early access to Bluetooth specifications
• Must pay full price for Product Qualification Fees

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. 

This KBA is intended to provide Bluetooth SIG members with helpful information and address frequently asked questions. Governing documents, membership agreements, policies, and other Bluetooth SIG rules and guidelines can be found here.
