A person against whom an exclusion procedure has been initiated is entitled to assistance by an association member of his or her choice.
If a decision for exclusion is rendered, an appeal procedure can be lodged with the board by registered letter within 15 days from the date of receipt of the exclusion notification letter.

The resigning member must deliver a written resignation by registered letter, with acknowledgment of receipt, to the Chairman of the association.
The resigning member cannot claim a refund of the membership fee.
