— Fees are payable in advance, although the cost can be spread through monthly debit instalments.

— Membership fees are banded depending on the total number of UK based employees. (Click here for our breakdown of Membership Fees)

— The DBA reserves the right to change subscription bands and fees at any time, giving members one month’s notice. Changes will only come into effect at the time of renewal.

— Membership of the DBA is continuous. At the time of renewal, membership automatically rolls over for a full year. Membership must be cancelled in writing at least one month before the end of a full term. We will write to you two months before the end of your term to remind you of this.

— Membership cannot be cancelled mid-term. Outstanding direct debit payments must be paid until the end of your term when you can then give written notice of your cancellation.
