    4. Cancellation of this Agreement

      • The Member must give Aquamoves 14 days’ notice of cancellation of this Agreement.
      • The Member acknowledges and agrees that any cancellation of this Agreement does not alter the Member’s obligations under their Membership Agreement.

      • Direct Debits will continue until 14 days after the written request of cancelation is received by Aquamoves.
      • Council takes no responsibility for any Direct Debits (or fees, charges or liabilities arising from the Direct Debits) that are processed by the Member’s financial institution after Aquamoves has received the Cancellation Notice.

    5. Increase in Direct Debit Amount authorised by this Agreement

      The Member agrees to authorise Aquamoves to vary the Direct Debit Amount as and when the Member’s membership fee increases without the need for the parties to sign a new Agreement.

      • The Member will be charged a $12.00 fee by Council for each dishonoured payment, which fee represents Council’s costs in re-processing any dishonoured payment, following up any overdue payments, and administrative costs incidental to these actions.
      • The Member may also incur a $12.00 fee if a Direct Debit payment fails due to the Member providing incorrect account information.
      • Outstanding membership fees, and any applicable fees, must be paid to Aquamoves prior to the next scheduled Direct Debit Date.
      • Council may terminate this Agreement and any membership held by a Member if a Direct Debit fails and the Member does not make the overdue payment prior to the next Direct Debit Date.
    7. Limitation of liability

      The Member agrees that Council will not be liable for any losses or costs incurred by the Member arising from any Direct Debit. The Member agrees to release, indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless the Council and its employees, contractors and agents from or against any liability, losses or costs (including legal costs) that the Member incurs as a result of any Direct Debit.

    8. Council’s obligations

      • Council will notify the Member of any failed Direct Debit payments as soon as practicable.
      • Council will initiate the Direct Debit from the Nominated Account or Credit Card on the Direct Debit Dates, unless the Direct Debit Date is a non-business day (i.e. a weekend or a public holiday), in which case the Direct Debit will be made on the following business day.
      • In compliance with the Industry’s Direct Debit Claims Process, Council will assist the Member in disputing any amount drawn on the Nominated Account or Credit Card under this Agreement. Council will endeavour to resolve the matter within the Industry agreed timeframes.
