Monthly direct debit
When you bought a season pass, you knew that was it for the season. Not so with this Scheme:
5.2 Without prejudice to conditions 3.2 above and 13.1 below, the Club may change the Monthly Fee, the Rights and/or any part of these Conditions at any time by giving to the Member not less than 90 days’ prior written notice of any such change.
Whilst you would reasonably expect the cost to change after the season’s end, the Club says it can in fact up the cost of your direct debit
at any time during the season. It’s not hard to imagine that when it discovers that – surprise, surprise – less people joined the scheme than it had expected, the Club might seek to make up the lost revenue by increasing its charge to members. Remember, it has nowhere said that it will keep to these pricing levels throughout the 2016/17 season. However, the right unilaterally to increase charges or make other changes to the membership agreement which the Club purports to reserve to itself is unlawful by virtue of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
