In the event that the decision is made to introduce a limited membership fee, ASC UK will notify all members through appropriate channels, and members will be provided with a reasonable period of notice to decide whether to continue their membership with the new fee structure or opt-out.
ASC UK and its representatives shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damages, losses, or injuries incurred as a result of participating in the Club’s activities, or utilising any information or merchandise provided by the Club.
