Membership Terms & Conditions

Membership
Membership is for a minimum period of 12 months and is renewable on the anniversary of your election to membership.  When your membership is renewed you will automatically enter into a new 12 month agreement.

Members are advised that they must abide by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise, which are available for inspection at the Chamber’s Registered Office.

Applications for membership are subject to acceptance by the Chamber Board. Subscription fees will be refunded in full should the application be unsuccessful.

All applications must be accompanied by credit card details as well as direct debit form or cheque.

**If during your annual membership, a direct debit payment is returned unpaid, then Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise will automatically take the balance of the sum due from the credit card details supplied.

Membership automatically ceases on the liquidation, administration or bankruptcy of a member.

Fees
Monthly instalments will be due on or around the 10th of each calendar month.

We may change the amount of your monthly subscriptions from time to time.  If we do, we will write to you at the address you have given us at least 14 days before any change takes place.

You may choose to pay your membership fees in monthly/quarterly/annual payments.  If you choose to do this, the whole year’s subscription is payable, and no refund will be given if you give notice of cancellation during the year.

Memberships which are lapsed for 4 weeks or more after the membership renewal date will result in the joining fee being charged on renewal of membership which is £45.

Cancelling Your Membership
If you wish to cancel your membership you must:
Give 2 months’ notice prior to your renewal date by visiting www.doncaster-chamber.co.uk and following the procedure to cancel.  Any other form of communication will not be accepted.  Cancellations will only be accepted once the above notification has been received.

Contact your Bank/Building Society and cancel your direct debit to prevent further collections.

Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise cannot be held liable for any payments processed due to the failure of a member to cancel a direct debit either with Doncaster Chamber or Bank/Building Society.

If you cancel your membership we will not refund any membership fee paid in advance which relates to a period after cancellation.

Completion and signature of this application signifies acceptance that Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise can contact the member using the telephone, fax or email details supplied.  The application also signifies that the member agrees to contact Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise if they register with the telephone or fax preference service (or its successors).

Events
All events must be paid in full prior to attending; if the full amount is not paid then you will be asked for payment on the day.
