Cooling off Period

You have a five (5) working days cooling off period, from the date of confirmation of your “New Membership” in which to cancel your subscription without penalty.  Once you start making use of your membership either by accessing a discount, downloading a report or booking an event, we are unable to cancel your membership until the renewal is due. You must notify us of your wish to cancel in writing by contacting the SDI team at [email protected].

Right to refuse applications or downgrade applications

We reserve the right not to fulfil, or to cancel, your application if we are unable to obtain payment authorization from the issuer of your credit/debit card or payment by other means.

If your membership application is accepted, but we subsequently discover that any or all of the information provided by you was misleading or false, we reserve the right to revoke your membership with immediate effect, without the right of appeal.

Renewals: Cancellations and Refunds

If you wish to cancel your membership you must inform us when you receive the renewal invoice. This notice should be provided directly to us in writing by email prior to the commencement of your membership.

Once renewal of your membership has occurred, it will still be possible to cancel your membership only if you have not used any of the membership benefits. SDI is not obliged to offer a refund if notice has not been given.

Price information

By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you agree that you will pay us the fees set out on the order form page of the Site. Fees displayed on this page will prevail at all times in relation to membership orders placed online.

We reserve the right to increase the price of your membership from time-to-time, and any such amendments will be on the order form page of the Site.  If you are a current SDI member, you will be informed of any fee increase in your renewal letter. If we discover an error in the price of your membership subscription, we will inform you as soon as possible.
