Membership Terms & Conditions
Term of Membership
Your initial ABN membership period commences on the day you join and expires 12 months from the end of the calendar month in which you join. For example, if you join on 10 May 2011, your initial membership period expires on 31 May 2012. At the end of your initial 12 months, your membership then continues on a month-by-month basis.
Cancellation of Membership by an ABN Member
An ABN membership cannot be terminated within the first 12 months. Should you wish to cease your ABN membership after this time, you can do so by submitting an ABN Membership Cancellation form. This form must be submitted to us by the 21st day of the month in order for next month’s direct debit to not take place. For example, if you submit an ABN Membership Cancellation form on 16 May, your membership will cease on 31 May and no further direct debits will be taken. If, however, you submit an ABN Membership Cancellation form on 26 May, your membership will cease on 30 June and a final direct debit will be taken in June.
Cancellation of Membership by ABN
ABN reserves the right to cancel your membership at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, failure to pay your membership fees; unlawful distribution of our intellectual property; or posting content to our Discussion Forum or transmitting content using Bookkeeper-Client Connect that is in violation of any applicable law or regulation (such as copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights), is in violation of privacy rules or personal rights of others or is defamatory, obscene, threatening, abusive or hateful.
Tax Invoices
You will receive a Tax Invoice covering your initial 12 month membership once you have joined. Following your initial 12 month membership, your month-by-month membership becomes that of a progressive supply. If you pay your membership by monthly direct debits, no further Tax Invoices will be issued (this is because each progressive supply is for an amount less than the Tax Invoice threshold of $82.50.) Despite a Tax Invoice not being issued each month, GST input tax credits of $3.50 are included in each monthly amount. If you pay your membership by annual direct debits, a Tax Invoice will be issued.
