​
4. CONTRACT TERM, PAYMENTS, AND RENEWAL
4.1 Membership is for a 12-month period (the "Contract Term"). It will automatically renew for a further 12-month period (the "Renewed Term") unless you or we terminate the contract in accordance with these terms.

4.4 We may, at our sole discretion, allow you to pay the Membership Payment in 12 monthly instalments via Direct Debit or Standing Order. If you pay monthly, this does not constitute a monthly subscription; it is a payment plan for the full 12-month Contract Term.
4.5 All charges quoted are exclusive of VAT, for which you are liable at the prevailing rate. Payments must be made without any deduction or set-off.

5. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

To exercise this right, you must inform us of your decision to cancel by a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email). You can use the model cancellation form provided on our website, but it is not mandatory.
5.2 Termination by Either Party
5.2.1 You may terminate this contract at the end of the Contract Term or any Renewed Term by giving us at least 30 days' written notice, which must be received on or before the relevant 12-month period ends.
