In regards to the Gold and Platinum service this service is only available to clients in England; the client will need to be a member for a minimum of 3 months from date of first payment before the discounted representation is provided on all new issues.

Also failure to maintain regular monthly payments you will incur  an administration charge of £5 for every failed payment and would stop the member receiving the discounted representation and if fees are reinstated it would be deemed as the membership starting again and they would be treated as a new member.

Silver membership has no contract period and can be cancelled giving 1 month’s notice.

No such increase in the monthly subscription fee will be affected without providing the client with 30 days written notice.

In these circumstances, the client will be responsible for payment of monthly subscription in respect of any unexpired term of this Agreement together with interest on such sum at the rate of 8 %per annum.

At the expiry of the one year period from the date of the first payment, this contract will automatically renew for a further period of one year.
