Our Commitment to You

  • After you submit a debit authority, the first payment will take place on the first due date, within two business days after the authority was accepted by us.

  • We will not change the amount or frequency of drawing arrangements without your prior approval.

  • We will keep all information pertaining to your nominated financial institution private and confidential.

  • You will receive a renewal notice at least 14 days prior to the renewal of your membership subscription/s. Unless we hear from you, the amount indicated on the renewal notice will be drawn from your account on the due date.

  • We reserve the right to cancel these drawing arrangements if two or more drawings are returned from your financial institution unpaid. We will contact you to discuss an alternative method of payment.

Your Rights

  • You may terminate this agreement at any time by giving us written notice. We should receive this notice at least five business days prior to the due date.

Your Responsibilities
