1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your membership with Calibre 100 (“the Club”). By joining the Club, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, do not proceed with membership.

Types of Membership

General Member: A person who has applied and submitted a pledge which has been approved by the Board.  They have paid the joining fee and will have set up a direct debit for monthly membership fees of £99.00 (as set out in 2.2 below).

Corporate Member: A company who has applied and submitted a pledge which has been approved by the Board.  They have paid the joining fee for year one (see table above).

*At this time, we are not VAT registered and so will not be charging VAT on membership fees. This will change as we grow and are required to collect VAT on sales.

2. Membership Fees and Payment

2.1 Joining Fee: A non-refundable joining fee as set out in 1. (tables above).

2.2. Monthly Fees: Members will be required to pay regular membership fees of £99 on the 1^st day of every month. If joining on a date prior to an event in any given month, you will be required to pay the joining fee plus your monthly membership fee at the same time. If joining after an event in any given month, you will be required to pay the joining fee immediately and your direct debit for membership fee of £99 will be fixed for the first day of the following calendar month. Your renewal will be required to be paid be 12 months from the 1^st of the month in which you first attended an event.

2.3 Annual Fees:  All members are required to pay annual fees. The fees are set out in Part 1 of these terms however, for the sake of clarity annual fees will be a maximum of £750 for general members and £10,000.00 for a Gold corporate member.  The fees are also subject to increases as set out at 2.7 of these terms.

Regarding payment of fees, by way of example, if you join on the 1^st May the following year on the same date you will pay an annual fee in addition to the monthly fee.  Your monthly fee will then be payable for the next 11 months at which point the renewal fee will become payable again etcetera, so the renewal fee is payable every 12 months.

2.4 Payment Method: All monthly membership fees and renewal fees must be paid by direct debit from a UK bank account. Forms for monthly and annual payments must be completed before membership commences.

2.5 Non-Payment:

• If a member fails to pay their monthly membership fees for a period exceeding 56 days, the Club reserves the right to terminate the membership with immediate effect.
• If a member fails to pay their annual fee their membership will be suspended pending payment. Failure to pay within 28 days from the due date (12-month anniversary of the date joined) will result in termination of membership with immediate effect.
• The Club will attempt to contact the member who is in arrears and provide a final 14-day notice to settle outstanding fees before termination.
