(b) All members on the HawksDirect payment plan are automatically included into an Auto Renewal Agreement, facilitating automatic rollover of your memberships from year to year.

All members applying for HawksDirect after 1 November 2023 will have the total number of previously scheduled payments deducted upon receipt of application and then subsequent payments as per the normal payment plan schedule.

(g) If your debit is returned or dishonoured by your financial institution, an email, SMS, or letter will be sent requesting immediate payment. Any fees levied to you by your financial institution will be payable to you.
