Frequent Questions
- “I prefer a monthly fee rather than an annual fee, how can I proceed?”
- Use Assoconnect.
- Pick the “Pay the first installment and the rest later” on checkout:
- “Why should I join the Matrix chat?”
The Matrix chat allows members to communicate with other members without jeopardizing the Sailfish OS forum.
- “What if I don’t want to join the Matrix chat? Will I get any information?”
Yes. The official communication for general assemblies is done by email and you can still visit the website to follow the topics to be discussed before a general assembly.
- “You are an Austrian association, why is the IBAN from Belgium? (BE)”
Because opening a bank account for an association in Austria with international members and board members is too complicated.
- “Why can’t I use Liberapay for the membership?”
Liberapay is not meant for this and the management would be too complicated.
- “How long does the membership last?”
One year starting from the first day of subscription.
