Rate protection

You may pay your membership for up to six months in advance at the rate that applies at that time. This means that you will not have to pay extra for the period covered by your premium payment if premiums increase during the period for which you have paid. Rate protection will cease if you change your level of cover or suspend membership. Any amount paid in advance of the date of the cover change or suspension will be applied at the rate that is current at that time.
