The Direct Debit Membership Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of this agreement as follows:

The Direct Debit Membership Agreement is valid for a minimum of 4 fortnightly direct debits (automated) and then is ongoing.

It is your responsibility to keep all financial and contact details up to date with MU Sport. Updated details must be provided 7 days minimum prior to the next debit date.
1.4 Default Fee If your bank or credit card account is rejected for any reason whilst processing your fortnightly direct debit payment, a $15 default fee will be charged.
