I apply for Associate Membership in the Association of Shareware Professionals 
as an Approved BBS. I certify that my BBS meets the standards set forth by the 
ASP.

Enclosed is a check or credit card information for $40 US to cover first year 
dues and to cover the costs of certification.  If a check is used, it must be 
in USA dollars drawn on a USA bank.  I understand that half of this fee will 
be returned if my BBS is not certified or my membership application is 
rejected for any other reason.

I understand that dues are renewed in January of each year, regardless of when 
I apply for membership.  Also, I understand that dues are not prorated or 
credited based on the month in which I apply in relation to the January 
renewal.
