FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions/Membership fee

How do I pay for a membership fee?

The amount of the membership fee is established in the table below. The amount payed must be EXACT - no other quantities will be accepted.

• How to pay: Membership calculator

• The payment must be done ONLY IN CZK, any other currency will not be accepted (GBP, USD, EURO...). Thus we strongly discourage payment from foreign accounts.
• It is necessary to sign the Application form containing Agreement on Handling of Personal Information. This contract is signed while registering at your registration officer or block representative. This signature is valid for 10 years.
• Every member will be briefed on the regulations of the SH club. By signing the contract you fully agree to accept and respect the rules in order to become a member of Silicon Hill.

What are the deadlines for membership fee payments?

The membership fee has to be payed once in half a year. The time spans are defined as follows:

• The first half is from January 1st to June 30th, and for that period it is possible to pay from January 1st to February 28th. The membership payed for the previous semester is valid until February 28th.
• The second half is from July 1st to December 31st, and for that period it is possible to pay from July 1st to September 30th. The membershio payed for the previous semester are valid until September 30th.
• The year halves correspond with the winter and summer semesters at school.
• The time spans shown in this FAQ are stable and will not change, so you can use them for the next semester.

I would like to connect in middle of the semester, is it possible to pay half of the membership fee?

We're sorry but it's impossible. The problem is in the regulations of the Student Union, so the membership fee can only be collected as the whole amount to be accepted.

Why isn't it possible, to pay for a shorter time period? (e.g. 400 Kc/3 months)?

There are many reasons, mainly, because it's very complicated to collect the fees on this frequency and we can't make our network administrators run it 4 times a year since their work is voluntary, so these logical timespans were selected as ideal.

Is it possible to pay membership fee in advance? (e.g. 1600 Kc/year)

No, it would bring many administrative problems, mostly regarding taxes.

Is it possible to be acquited of membership fee payment?

Yes, it is. In order to be acquited of the membership fee payment you have to do some work for Silicon Hill. For more information visit your block representative or any project manager from Silicon Hill.

What will happen, if I don't pay the fee on time?

YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!!! :D Now seriously, a day after the payment deadline the routers update according to our database, so the accounts that haven't been payed will be automatically blocked and so will be your internet connection. There is nothing your administrator can do with that. You simply have to pay the amount and after it is received, the system will automatically reconnect you.

I would like to connect more computers per person, is it possible?

Yes it is, after you do some work for the Club. Visit your block representative for more information.

Is it possible to get user account on servers without a personal computer?

Yes, you just need to pay the basic membership.
