Terms and conditions for membership

In order to verify that you are a member and ensure that you receive member discounts/prices from our partners, NITO shares your identification information. This information is only used for membership verification, nothing else. If you do not want us to share this information, please let us know on . In that case, you must document your membership yourself .
