In the event of any inconsistency between the Auckland FC membership terms and conditions and these terms and conditions, the terms in this document shall prevail.

Strict time frames apply. If you do not notify the Club that you do not wish to roll over your membership during this period, you will be taken to have agreed to your membership being rolled over.
5)By joining the Auckland FC Pay programme, you authorise Auckland FC to arrange a transfer of funds from your Nominated Card in the amount applicable to your membership type and at the intervals which applied in relation to the preceding season (i.e. either a single upfront payment or at monthly intervals).
