Suspension Policy
The SSMT suspension policy outlines the maximum suspension period available for your membership. Despite this, we typically take a flexible and empathetic approach to each suspension request, and may approve a membership suspension that exceeds our suspension policy. An extract of our suspension policy appears below.
- You may suspend your membership for a maximum period as follows:
o 7 days per calendar year, for memberships under a 3-month term.
o 14 days per calendar year, for memberships under a 6-month term.
o 28 days per calendar year, for memberships under a 12-month term.
- Verbal suspension requests will not be accepted.
- Suspension requests will not be approved if your membership fees are in arrears.
- You must allow a minimum of 14 days' notice to suspend your membership, with all membership fees to be paid in full for a period of up to 14 days from the date of written suspension. After the 14-day period, your membership will be suspended.
- The period for which your membership is suspended will be automatically added to the end of your membership, extending your membership expiry date to reflect the suspension period.
