Clever 'Cat Payment PlanOur Clever ‘Cat payment plans have been designed to make the membership renewal process even easier and more affordable than ever before. Clever ‘Cat offers the option to spread payments over instalments or to make a once off payment, both options operating on an automatic ‘rollover’ at the end of the season. Being a member on the Clever ‘Cat plan, membership seats will automatically be renewed each season until a member chooses to opt out. Terms and Conditions are outlined below.

Clever 'Cat Terms and ConditionsPayments will be deducted within two weeks of a membership renewal or application being received, unless stated otherwise in renewal information sent to members. This document outlines the rights and responsibilities a member has with regard to the ability of the Perth Wildcats to directly debit the nominated credit card for any instalments or fees due by the member under the terms of the Perth Wildcats Membership Contract entered into. Should a member have any queries regarding the membership contract or Clever ‘Cat Payment Plan please contact the Membership Department on (08) 6272 0777. By signing up to the Clever ‘Cat program the member authorises Perth Wildcats to arrange a transfer of funds from the nominated credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) in the applicable amounts and at the intervals advised in the table above, unless stated otherwise in renewal information sent to members. For the 8-part payment plan, each instalment is one eighth of the membership total, rounded to the nearest cent. The last payment in each year will allow for rounding so that the total membership fee paid across the 8 payments is equal to the full season price. By initiating payment of the membership contract by a Clever ‘Cat payment plan, the member accepts the automatic roll-over of their membership in subsequent seasons. Clever ‘Cat is an annual commitment. Members can only opt out of the Clever ‘Cat program in a period determined by the Perth Wildcats. Members will receive written notice from the Perth Wildcats detailing the next season’s membership fees, deduction date and conditions of Clever ‘Cat. Members will be given the opportunity in this notice to opt out of the rollover of their membership for the following season. Members acknowledge that it is their responsibility to inform the club when receiving this notice that they wish to opt out of the membership and the Clever ‘Cat program within the time period detailed in this notice. If no contact is made by the member, then the member acknowledges that the club will operate on the understanding the membership has rolled over to the following year and payments by the Clever ‘Cat program will continue as detailed in the notice. If the member is a part payment plan member, the first instalment will be deducted from the member’s account on a date determined by the club and communicated to members, with further payments occurring on the dates detailed by the club to members. If the member is a one-off payment plan member, the full amount will be deducted from the members account on a date determined by the club and communicated to members. It is the member’s responsibility to ensure that on the due date clear funds are available in the nominated account to meet direct debit payments or to inform the club of any changes in the details of the acknowledged credit card prior to the monthly charge being processed. Daily weekday attempts will be made to re-process payments until the overdue amount is successful. Should an instalment payment not clear, the Perth Wildcats will contact the member requesting immediate settlement of the payment. Any fees levied to the member by their financial institution will be payable by the member. If the member’s transactions are unsuccessful for three consecutive months and the member does not contact the club to rectify the outstanding amount, the member’s details will be passed to the club’s debt collection agency for resolution and the membership will be cancelled. The Perth Wildcats reserves the right to suspend a member’s barcode should they not respond to requests regarding outstanding debt from the club or if they are one monthly payment behind. A suspended barcode means a member will not be able to gain access to games, finals tickets or regular membership benefits such as team store discounts. The Perth Wildcats reserves the right to withhold from sending captains club, supporter, or flexi tickets if the members payments are not up to date. The Perth Wildcats reserves the right to cancel a member’s Clever ‘Cat membership where there are ongoing payment issues, and request the member pay their fees up front the following season. Members will be unable to renew their membership for the following season if there is any outstanding debt from previous seasons. Members may only renew once the balance is paid in full. If a member believes that a withdrawal has been initiated incorrectly, they can contact the Membership Department on (08) 6272 0777. Members will receive a refund for the amount withdrawn if the payment was made by the club and the club cannot substantiate the reason for drawing.
