PRINCIPLE TERMS

To exercise this right you must inform Harlands or the club of this by post, email or telephone using the details above. You can use the cancellation form on page 2 of this document but it is not obligatory. If you exercise this right to cancel we will reimburse you all joining and membership fee payments received from you using the same means of payment you used for the initial transaction. If you have used the service before requesting to cancel then we will reduce your membership fee refund by a pro rata amount equal to the number of days from signup to the date cancellation was requested.

2. Your membership starts immediately.

3. You will be entitled to all the rights and privileges exercisable for the Type of Membership chosen, subject to your timely payment of the fees and charges set out below and the successful processing of your direct debit instruction.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

Your membership will be extended by one month for each payment (“Renewal Period”). This renewal Direct Debit payment amount may only be amended if we advise you in writing giving not less than 30 days notice.

GENERAL TERMS

19. You agree to comply with the Rules of Membership which are displayed prominently in the Club and relate to opening hours, use of facilities and your conduct. We may make reasonable changes to these Rules at any time provided we give you reasonable advance notice of the change.

20. If we take no action or let you off any breach of this agreement or give you extra time to pay or comply, it will not stop us enforcing the terms of this agreement strictly at a future date.

21. We may assign the benefit of this agreement and our rights thereunder to a third party on notice to you. Your rights under this agreement will not be prejudiced. You may transfer your membership to another person provided that such person pay a Joining Fee signs an agreement with us and accepts the balance of any remaining Minimum No. of Direct Debit Payments.

22. We will do our best to resolve any disputes over this agreement. If you wish to take court proceedings against us you must do so within the United Kingdom. Relevant UK law will apply.

23. If any part of this agreement is disallowed or found to be ineffective by any court or regulator, the other provisions shall continue to apply

24. We may terminate this agreement with immediate effect on notice to you if you are in breach of the Clubs Rules (i.e. Stealing or other criminal activities within the facility). In this event you will not be liable to pay any further Direct Debit Payments, provided such breach is not deemed by us to have occurred primarily in order to qualify you for a refund.

If you set up a payment but then want to cancel it, you need to let us know by a particular time – see our payment timings page for details and then let us know by emailing help@gocardless.com.

If your customer cancels a payment, we won’t owe you anything, even if you’ve provided products/services. However, we will let you know about these cancellations via your dashboard or the API.

If your customer contacts you wishing to cancel a payment, you should cancel it with us in accordance with the same payment timings.

Remember that your customers can go to their bank and request cancellation of a payment made via GoCardless. We can’t challenge these cancellations unless we’ve made an administrative error. This is the case even if you have supplied goods/services to your customer and they are in breach of a contract with you as a result of cancelling their payment with their bank – the dispute is a contractual one directly between you and that customer. Remember that we will claim back any amounts we’re out of pocket as a result of these chargebacks and you agree to make us whole.

42. If, for any reason, the Merchant wishes to cancel a Payment Order or Payment Scheme Mandate, it must notify GoCardless in accordance with the relevant Payment Scheme Timing. Notice for these purposes can be given by email to help@gocardless.com, or by logging into the GoCardless Account and cancelling the Payment Order or Payment Scheme Mandate.

43. If the Customer cancels their Payment Scheme Mandate or Payment Orders in accordance with the relevant Payment Scheme Timing, GoCardless will have no obligation to pay the Merchant in respect of such cancelled Payment Order and no liability to the Merchant in respect of such cancellation.

44. GoCardless will inform the Merchant as soon as reasonably practicable of any Payment Orders cancelled by the Customer by displaying information via the

45. If a Customer cancels any order or contract to which a Payment Order relates directly with the Merchant, the Merchant must:

a. inform GoCardless as soon as reasonably practicable (in which case GoCardless will not process the Payment Order if Payment Scheme Timings allow); or

b. refund directly to the Customer the sums received by the Merchant in connection with the Payment Order; or

c. ask GoCardless to process a refund to the Customer from the Merchant’s applicable GoCardless Account.

46. If GoCardless receives notice from the Merchant that a Customer Payment Order has been cancelled, it may notify the Customer.

47. The Merchant acknowledges that GoCardless is not able to recover or challenge any Chargeback that relates to a Payment Order that has, from an administrative standpoint, been submitted correctly. For example, if a Customer initiates a Chargeback that results in that Customer being in breach of their contract with the Merchant, GoCardless cannot V0521.0 challenge the Chargeback or recover the funds to which that Chargeback relates.

48. The Merchant shall indemnify GoCardless against any losses, costs, claims, damages and expenses suffered or incurred by GoCardless as a result of or in connection with any failure by the Merchant to obtain all consents and authorisations from Customers, or to provide them with any information necessary for the lawful processing of Payment Orders, including in relation to any Payment Pages and/or Payment Notifications obligations set out in section 18 and/or the provisions of the Product- Specific Terms relating to any feature or product used by a Merchant.

49. The Merchant shall indemnify GoCardless in respect of any amounts and costs incurred as a result of any: (i) Chargeback, claim or refund (fraudulent or otherwise) initiated by a Customer and that GoCardless is obliged to make under the relevant Payment Scheme rules or otherwise; or (ii) Failures. For the avoidance of doubt, GoCardless may not claim under this indemnity where any amounts or costs incurred arise directly from of GoCardless’ negligence, default, or mistake.

50. Where the Merchant uses and/or has access to any functionality of the Service that enables it to initiate a refund that relates to more than one Transaction at a time, via a single Payment Order (“Lump Sum Refund Feature”), the Merchant will ensure that:

a. the refund is to a Customer;

b. the amount refunded to that Customer (taking into account any prior refunds, and any Chargebacks) is not greater than the value of the funds collected on the Merchant’s behalf from that Customer in aggregate using GoCardless (including any other previous direct debit provider that the Merchant transitioned away from in order to use the Service); and

c. where the Merchant is refunding Transaction(s) processed under a Payment Scheme Mandate that is cancelled at the time of initiating the refund, the Merchant will only initiate a refund of such Transaction(s) to the applicable Customer on one occasion.

51. Regarding the Merchant’s use of the Lump Sum Refund Feature where applicable:

a. the Merchant acknowledges that GoCardless may, at any time, conduct an audit of its use of the Lump Sum Refund Feature, in order to assess compliance with section 50 above;

b. in order to facilitate such audit, the Merchant agrees to keep all information and detailed written records necessary for GoCardless to verify the Merchant’s compliance with section 50 and will promptly provide such information and records to GoCardless upon request; and

c. the Merchant agrees that GoCardless may, at its sole discretion, terminate or suspend the Merchant’s ability to utilise the Lump Sum Refund Feature.
