About Your Membership Period
Your membership starts on the first day of the month in which you join, and continues for 12 months. To ensure you get a full year of membership benefits, your benefits will continue for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you join on Oct. 10, 2018, your official membership period is Oct. 1, 2018, to Sept. 30, 2019, but your membership benefits will continue until Oct. 31, 2019.
Cancellations and Refunds
NCFR memberships are nonrefundable. You may cancel your membership at any time, but you will not receive a refund.
