MEMBERSHIP CONTRACT
I, for membership fee paid in hand, do hereby apply for membership in Dr. Abbe Academy, a private membership organization. With the signing of this membership agreement, I accept the offer made to become a member of Dr. Abbe Academy and have read and agree with the following Declaration of Purpose from Article II of Dr. Abbe Academy’s Articles of Association.
1. This Association of members hereby declares that our main objective is to maintain and improve the civil rights, constitutional guarantees, and political freedom of every member and citizen of the United States of America.
2. We believe that Article I Section 10 Clause 1, The First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Tenth Amendment, and the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees our members the rights of free speech, petition, assembly, right to privately contract, and the right to gather together for the lawful purpose of advising and helping one another in asserting our rights under the United States Constitution, federal and state constitutions as well as statutes. We strive to maintain and improve the civil rights, constitutional guarantees, freedom of choice, personal and political freedom of every member of this Association in all aspects of God given life.
IT IS HEREBY Declared that we are exercising our rights as guaranteed by Article I Section 10 Clause 1, The First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Tenth Amendment, and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and equivalent provisions of the various state constitutions. This means that activities of the Private Membership Association are restricted to and adhere only to the private domain.
3. We declare the basic right of all of our members to carefully choose and select the member most suitable as a spokesperson from our Association who we deem experienced, knowledgeable and shows good judgment to educate and give information concerning the Private Membership Association and Assistance with the Private Membership Association and to select from our Association those members who are the most skilled to assist and facilitate the actual performance and delivery of care.
4. We proclaim the freedom to choose and perform for ourselves the types of research, treatments, and modalities that we think best for assessing and preventing illness of our minds and bodies while achieving and maintaining freedom to exercise our God given rights along with our Constitutional rights. We proclaim and reserve the right to include schools of thought that include, but are not limited to, cutting edge research, treatments, and modalities, practiced or used by any types of individuals the world over, whether traditional or nontraditional, conventional or unconventional.
5. Specifically, the purpose of our Association is to provide members with the greatest care including the most effective methods available. We emphasize our members’ liberty and freedom to choose what care is best for their mind and body, not merely the problems experienced. Our Association understands that wellness has many dimensions and strives every day to stay on the leading edge of new technology. The Association provides comprehensive, conventional, complementary, alternative care for all aspects of a member’s freedom and right of
choice and provides the most effective means of care at an affordable fee. More specifically, the Association specializes in classes and talks to restore health, improve quality, and quantity of life for education and understanding as alternatives and to the benefit of its members. Support products to include but are not limited to: books and course materials.
6. I understand that Abbe Williams is working in a consultant capacity and not as a treating physician. I can either accept of decline any and all consultations. Any and all recommendations by Abbe Williams are fully my Responsibility.
7. The Association will recognize any person (irrespective of race, color, or religion) who is in agreement with these principles and policies as a member and will provide a medium through which its individual members may associate for actuating and bringing to realization and fruition the purposes heretofore declared.
MEMORANDUM AND DECLARATION OF UNDERSTANDING
I understand that the fellow members of the Association that provide services and care, do so in the capacity of a fellow member and not in the capacity of any type of licensed, permit or certification. I further understand that within the association no attorney/lawyer- client or representative relationship exists but only a contract member- member Association relationship. In addition, I have freely chosen to change my legal status as a public patient or client to a private member of the Association. I further understand that it is entirely my own responsibility to consider the information and recommendations offered to me by my fellow members and to educate myself as to the efficacy, risks, and desirability of same and the acceptance of the offered or recommended assessment, determination, modalities, teaching, education and care is my own carefully considered decision. Any request by me to a fellow member to assist me or provide me with the aforementioned assessment, determination, modalities, teaching, education, documents and care is my own free decision in an exercise of my rights and made by me for my benefit, and I agree to hold the Trustee(s), staff and other worker members and the Association harmless from any unintentional liability for the results of such care, except for harm that results from instances of a clear and present danger of substantive evil as determined by the Association, as stated and defined by the United States Supreme Court.
The Trustee and members have chosen Abbe Williams as the person best qualified to perform services to members of the Association and entrust her to select other members to assist her in carrying out that service.
In addition, I understand that since the Association is protected by Article I Section 10 Clause 1, The First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Tenth Amendment, and the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal and State Agencies and Authorities concerning any and all complaints or grievances against the Association, any Trustee(s), members or other staff persons. All rights of complaints or grievances will be settled by an Association Committee and will be waived by the member for the benefit of the Association and its members. Because the privacy and security of membership records maintained within the Association which have been held to be inviolate by the U.S. Supreme Court, the undersigned member waives HIPAA privacy rights and complaint process. Any information, documents, or records kept by the association will be strictly protected and only released upon written request of the member. I agree that violation of any waivers in this membership contract will result in a no contest legal proceeding against me. In addition, the Association does not participate in any insurance plans or collections on behalf of the member but will provide a suitable invoice for the member, if applicable.
I agree to join the Association, a private membership association under common law, whose members seek to help each other achieve better health and live longer with good quality of life.
I fully understand that any and all benefits I receive from the Association are my obligation to be responsible for.
As a member, I accept Dr. Abbe Academy's Mission statement and understand that aspects of informed consent will take place in my discussions with the fellow members of the Association. My activities within the Association are a private matter that I refuse to share with the State Medical Boards/ Associations, the FDA, FTC, Medicare, Medicaid or my own insurance company without my expressed specific permission. All records and documents remain as property of the Association, even if I receive a copy of them.
I fully agree not to file a lawsuit against a fellow member of the Association unless that member has exposed me to a clear and present danger of substantive evil.
I enter into this agreement of my own free will or on behalf of my dependent without any pressure or promise of outcome. I affirm that I do not represent any State or Federal agency whose purpose is to regulate and approve. I have read and understood this document, and my questions have been answered fully to my satisfaction.
I understand that I can withdraw from this agreement and terminate my membership in this association at any time. These pages and Article II of the articles of association of the Association consist of the entire agreement for my membership in the Association and they supersede any previous agreement.
I understand and agree that the non-refundable Lifetime membership fee is for lifetime membership in Dr. Abbe Academy. A lifetime is defined as the lifetime of the “Association." I understand that the membership fee entitles me to receive those benefits declared by the Trustee to be “general benefits” free of further charge. I agree to pay as levied those benefits that I receive that are declared by the Trustees to be “special assessments," per Fee Schedule.
I understand that upon enrolling in my first course with Dr. Abbe Academy, the standard enrollment fee will be waived. My course purchase will include a one-time $10.00 Private Member Association membership fee, which establishes my lifetime membership with Dr. Abbe Academy, PMA. I understand this membership is required to participate in Academy courses and programs.
I enclose $10.00 as consideration for my one-time lifetime membership contract, said term beginning with the date of the signing of this contract, and by these presents do hereby certify, attest and warrant that I have carefully read the above and foregoing Dr. Abbe Academy’s Private Contractual Application for Membership and I fully understand and agree with same. I also agree this fee is non-refundable under any circumstance.
