* Every member's time is of equal worth

1 hour of time is worth 20 operas. Whether you are professional or amateur, spent 3 years at Uni or 20 years perfecting your skill - your time is as valuable as the next.

* Contribution is essential

Instead of "what's in it for me?" it's "what can I contribute?"

MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

1. Sydney & Illawarra LETS is a non-profit organisation managed by a working party made up of members. LETS provides a service which allows members to exchange information to facilitate trading and maintain such records of that trading as members request.

2. A local OPERA is the symbol of energy transferred between members. Members shall be willing to trade in OPERAS. Services are charged at 20 Operas an hour. $AU should only be exchanged to cover material / ingredient costs. The committee will transfer operas from one members account to that of another only on the authority of the member making the payment.

3. The committee is authorised to levy charges on members accounts in operas at a rate determined by the committee.

4. The committee may decline a transaction or a membership it considers inappropriate.

5. Accountability of taxes incurred by members is the obligation of those involved in an exchange. Sydney & Illawarra LETS has no obligation nor liability to report to the Australian Taxation Office nor to collect taxes on their behalf.

6. No warranty or undertaking as to the value, condition or quality of the items exchanged is expressed or implied by the virtue of introduction of members to one another.

7. While all information on members accounts is considered personal and confidential, and only accessible by registered LETS members, LETS cannot guarantee confidentiality nor be held liable for breach of it. It is a member's responsibility to ensure and protect all members details by ensuring account and password details remain confidential, and by hiding their street address.

8. The committee may act on behalf of members in seeking satisfaction from a member whose account is heavily out of balance.

9. All transactions between members are the sole responsibility of those members and no liability to the members of any nature shall be incurred by Sydney & Illawarra LETS or the committee in respect of such a transaction.

10. The only liability of the committee to any member for any damage suffered by such a member shall be limited to damage caused by wilful default by the committee.
