A voluntary '''association''' or union (also sometimes called a voluntary organization, unincorporated association, or just an association) is a [[group]] of [[individuals]] who voluntarily enter into an agreement to form a [[body]] (or organization) to accomplish a [[purpose]].
Strictly speaking in many jurisdictions no [[formalities]] are [[necessary]] to start an association. In some jurisdictions, there is a minimum for the [[number]] of persons starting an association. Some jurisdictions require that the association register with the police or other official body to inform the [[public]] of the association's [[existence]]. This is not necessarily a [[tool]] of [[political]] control but much more a way of protecting the [[economy]] from fraud. In many such jurisdictions, only a registered association is a juristic person whose membership is not responsible for the [[financial]] [[acts]] of the association. Any group of persons may, of course, work as an association but in such case, the persons making a transaction in the name of the association are all responsible for it.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_association]
