Early termination terms
Programme
Should a registered paying member of the Adviser Programme choose to cancel their membership prior to the programme end date then an early termination fee will be liable. The programme cost is calculated based on external costs of venues and guest speakers for the duration of the programme. This is then accommodated with a monthly payment structure.
If a member is unable to continue in their own capacity they are able to send another member from their practice for the remaining modules. There are then no additional monies due and the monthly contract still applies.
Should the cancelling member wish to cancel outright then 50% of the remaining total balance is due.
Online
Cancellation requested prior to the 25th of a month will be processed ahead of the payment process. Following this the cancellation is processed the following month.
Overdue accounts
Interest will be levied on all overdue accounts at 2% above the prime interest rate. Such interest shall be calculated monthly in advance, on the first date of each succeeding month, on the outstanding balance due by the Customer to Fundhouse and for the period during which such balance remains due, owing and payable. For the purposes of this agreement, an account is deemed to be overdue if not settled within the first 30 day period.
