Membership Agreement

This agreement applies to every Associate, Member and Fellow of the College of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery ("CVES") and to Faculty using the CVES Workspace. It sits alongside the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Membership is granted at the College's discretion after review. Grades (Associate, Member, Fellow) are personal, non-transferable and may be reviewed, suspended or withdrawn for breach of this agreement or professional misconduct.

• Provide accurate identity, qualification and registration details.
• Act respectfully and professionally in community spaces and messaging.
• Never share login credentials or Passport credentials.

Members submit only de-identified patient data, confirm they have the necessary local approvals, and grant CVES a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use contributed data in anonymised, aggregated form for benchmarking, research and education.

All courses, webinars, guidelines, software, designs, the CVES name and logo are owned by or licensed to CVES. Members receive a personal, non-exclusive licence for their own professional learning. Recording, redistributing, scraping or reselling College content is prohibited. Faculty keep ownership of their authored material and grant CVES a licence to publish it.

Non-public platform features, pre-release material and other members' information shown in the Workspace are confidential and may not be disclosed.

CPD certificates, membership certificates, badges and the CVES Passport remain College property, may only be used to represent the holder's genuine status, and are revoked if membership ends.

Where membership fees apply, they are described at checkout and in the Terms of Use, including refund rules.

Members may resign at any time. CVES may end membership for breach with notice. Sections 4–6 survive termination.
