Article 7 of the Saudi Consumer Protection Association Statute

After Article 6 defined the types of membership, this Article sets out what working and associate members must do. There are four obligations:

1. Meeting the obligations of membership: performing all the duties set out in this Statute and in the Association's internal regulations.
2. Abiding by decisions: complying with the decisions of the General Assembly and of the Board.
3. Notifying changes of address: notifying the Association in writing of any change to the address recorded with it.
4. No conflict: not engaging in any work that conflicts with the Association's objectives.

Note that the Article does not name the honorary member among those bound by these obligations; it is addressed specifically to working and associate members.

These obligations matter because of Article 8, which governs loss of membership. One case is falling behind on the subscription for more than six months from the start of the financial year after being notified by letter at the address recorded with the Association. Updating the address in writing therefore protects the member from being notified at an old address that does not reach them.

The Article itself does not set a penalty for breaching these obligations; the remaining provisions of the Statute must be consulted for that.
