CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) INCREASE: For m’ships signed between January 1st and June 30th, the CPI
increase for your m’ship fees will become effective from the following financial year, being July 1st. For m’ships
signed between July 1st and December 31st, the CPI increase will become effective from that financial year, being
July 1st. GO HC reserves the right to increase m’ship fees in accordance with the Australian Bureau of Statistics’
to a maximum of CPI, plus 2.0% per annum.. Black Label Re-signs do not apply to this increase.
TIME HOLD: I acknowledge that time hold (freeze) is available on a minimum term of one billing fortnight and a
maximum of 3 months in one calendar year. Time hold will attract a suspension fee of $15 per month (1 x
fortnight = $15 fee) and must be requested in writing by completing the appropriate time hold form. If I am paying
by periodic billing, payments will resume when the time hold finishes, so if I wish to extend my time hold I will
let 'The Club' know in writing prior to the end of the suspension date. Medical conditions (supported by a medical
certificate stating that physical exertion is a contraindication) may qualify for a suspension outside of the normal
time hold conditions. Please note that normal pregnancy does not qualify for automatic suspension.
MEMBERSHIP CARDS/BANDS: I understand that under no circumstances can I issue my card/band to anyone. If
I require a replacement card/band fee I authorise 'The Club' to debit me a $10 card fee or a $35 band fee (if
applicable)
