Gramatan Village Membership Agreement

Terms:  Gramatan Village, Inc. (“GV”) is a New York State not-for-profit Section 501(c) (3) corporation dedicated to helping its members live life comfortably and confidently in their own homes as they grow older.  To this end, GV has arranged to offer its members, primarily through third-party providers, many of the activities and services available to residents of conventional high-quality retirement communities.  

Annual membership begins on the first day of the month in which you pay your fee and will continue for the next twelve consecutive months. If you chose to pay monthly, it is a twelve month commitment with a recurring monthly charge to your credit card.

GV acts on behalf of its membership to identify the activities and services most in demand.  GV has identified third-party providers capable of delivering such activities and services under conditions of quality control, at convenient times and places, and sometimes at reduced prices. As a GV member, you generally will contract directly with and be billed for services by third-party providers.

One of GV’s primary functions is to ensure the highest possible member satisfaction with the activities and services provided.  GV, however, will not under any circumstances assume any direct or indirect responsibility or liability in connection with services contracted for by members with third party providers recommended by GV.

AGREEMENT:  In order for GV to monitor its members’ needs and levels of satisfaction, I authorize third-party providers to share non-medical data with GV about the services I use.  GV reserves the right to be in touch with members’ contacts in case of situations of health or safety concerns.

AS A GRAMATAN VILLAGE MEMBER (i) I HEREBY RELEASE AND DISCHARGE GRAMATAN VILLAGE FROM ALL RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, AND (ii) I AGREE TO HOLD GRAMATAN VILLAGE HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY COST, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR THROUGH ME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS BROUGHT BY MY INSURANCE CARRIER.
