    1. The annual Membership fee for each type of Membership is available from our website, Picturehouse Cinemas and the Membership Helpline or notified to you during the Membership application process and includes VAT.

      3.

      4. If you don't want your Membership to automatically renew, you may cancel the renewal of your membership either:

      6. Payments for Membership Fees for renewals will start processing three (3) days in advance of your payment due date. If any card payment is rejected or otherwise unsuccessful (including due to inaccurate or outdated Payment Card information), Picturehouse will make a maximum of five attempts to charge your Payment Card to take payment.

        3. You may renew your Membership at any time during the last month of your current Membership period.

        4. It is not possible to renew your Membership in our cinemas or by phone (even if you purchased your initial Membership in cinema). 
        5. If you renew before the end of your current Membership period, your Membership will start the date after your current Membership expires and you'll qualify for the upgrade  to Premium Membership (see clause 12 below).  If you renew after your old membership has expired, your new membership will start straight away but you won't receive the benefits of the Premium Membership.


    12. UPGRADES TO PICTUREHOUSE PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP AND OTHER OFFERS

    1. We will automatically upgrade your standard Membership or Membership Plus  (but not your Student Membership) to Premium Membership (at no extra charge) if your Membership continues after your first year provided that the Membership fees for the renewal period have been paid before expiry of your first Membership year. This means you will continue to enjoy the benefits of your Standard Membership or Membership Plus with the extra benefits of Premium Membership (please see clause 7(13) for more details). As long as you keep renewing before your Membership expires, this upgrade to Premium Membership will also apply to every Membership year after this year. If you cease to be a Member and you wish to become a Member again, you will need to purchase a standard Membership (or Membership Plus) for one year before you will be entitled to an upgrade to Premium Membership again.
    2. We may also make other offers available to you at the date of renewal (or otherwise) but such offers are discretionary and may be withdrawn or changed by us from time to time. Details of current offers (if any) will be published on our website.

    13. LOST, STOLEN OR DEFECTIVE CARDS

    1. You will need to telephone the Membership Helpline as soon as possible to report any lost or stolen physical Membership card or unauthorized access to your My Picturehouse account or virtual Membership card and follow the steps advised by the Membership Helpline to secure your account.  If you need to replace your current physical card, you will be able to collect a replacement card at any Picturehouse Cinema, if you can answer certain security questions (for example, your name and membership number) to allow staff to access your account.  Alternatively, you may use your virtual Membership card located in your MyPicturehouse account and display on your mobile device.  No physical cards will be issued to Members who signed up for Membership online.    
    2. For the avoidance of doubt, no refunds will be given for cinema tickets purchased by you between the date the card was lost, stolen or damaged or a replacement card was requested and the date you receive your new physical Membership card.
    3. We may charge an administration fee for each replacement physical Membership card we have to issue.  You can also access a digital version of your Membership card in the Picturehouse App.

    14. CHANGES

    1. We may make minor changes to these terms and conditions from time to time to correct errors, to clarify terms, to comply with any law or regulation that applies to us, or to update these terms and conditions to reflect changes to the way our systems work or enhancements to the Membership scheme. You will not be specifically notified of such changes, but they will be on our website. To see the most up-to-date version of these terms and conditions, please always check our website. No such changes shall disadvantage you or a Picturehouse Member.
    2. Additionally, we reserve the right to make other more material changes to these terms and conditions in which case we will notify you of the change by contacting you using the details you have provided. This will usually be by email but we may contact you using a different method of communication, for example by post. If these changes are to your disadvantage, you may terminate your Membership within 30 days from the date we have notified you of the changes. In order to do so you must notify us in writing of your request to terminate, stating the reason for termination. Following receipt of your termination notice we will refund the Membership fee paid by you after deducting an amount equal to the value of the use of the Membership Card by you prior to the termination date. Refunds will be paid back to the credit, debit or charge card or other method of payment used by you in purchasing the Membership (or such other method as we may need to use, such as BACS transfer) as soon as reasonably practicable. On termination, we will deactivate your Membership card.
