Membership Terms & Conditions
General:
All ICA Memberships are for the member’s individual, personal use only.
When you start a Membership subscription online, you will receive your payment receipt immediately via email however it may take up to one week for your Membership to be activated. Once your Membership has been activated, you will receive a further confirmation email with instructions on how to access your online account. Your Membership will be valid for one year after receiving this confirmation email.
By joining as an ICA Member, you are entering a legal contract to commit to and to pay for a one-year Membership subscription. You can choose to pay for one year upfront, or to pay monthly in equal instalments. If you choose to pay monthly, you must ensure that the ICA can continue to collect your monthly payments.
On expiry of the initial one-year term, your Membership subscription will automatically renew, although you may cancel your Membership subscription at any time after you have made a full annual or twelve individual monthly payments. See ‘Cancellation’ below.
We may reasonably amend these terms and conditions at any time. You are bound to the current version of the Terms & Conditions, which is the version currently online at www.ica.art/terms-conditions
By joining as an ICA Member, you consent to the ICA sending you communications related to Membership administration, the ICA’s programme, activities and your benefits. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
Automatic Renewal of your Membership Subscription:
If you elected to pay annually, you will receive a notification by email at least seven days before your Membership subscription is due to automatically renew and payment is due to be collected. If you wish to cancel your subscription after one year, you need to notify us by emailing membership@ica.art from the email address that we have on file for you at least three business days in advance of your renewal date to prevent us collecting your annual payment.
If you elected to pay monthly, your monthly payments will continue to be taken indefinitely unless you cancel your Membership subscription. If you wish to cancel your subscription after one year, you need to notify us by emailing membership@ica.art from the email address that we have on file for you at least three business days in advance of your renewal date to prevent us collecting your next monthly payment.
No refunds are offered after payments have been collected.
Membership Subscription Payment Method:
We use a subscription payment method called continuous authority, which means your subscription payments will be charged to the credit or debit card you provided when you purchased the Membership. We may not be able to collect your payment if the stored card details are no longer correct e.g. if your card expires.
To update your payment details, contact us at membership@ica.art
If you elected to pay monthly, and we cannot collect any of the first 12 payments, you are liable to pay the missed payment(s) using an alternative payment method. If this happens, we will attempt to contact you and provide instructions to update your payment method and/or to pay the balance by an alternative means.
Within the first year, if we cannot contact you or you fail to update your payment details within 30 days, we will start recovery action against you to recover the payments due.
After one year has passed, if we cannot contact you or you fail to update your payment details within 30 days of the missed payment, you will be notified that your Membership subscription has been cancelled permanently, and all unused benefits will be lost.
Your Membership may be suspended during any time you are behind on payments.
Refunds are not offered if benefits are not used during the duration of the Membership, and the length of Membership will not be extended if Membership is suspended due to a missed payment. It is your responsibility to cancel your Membership subscription if you no longer wish to be an ICA Member, but if you elected to pay monthly, this can only be done after 12 payments have been successfully collected.
After one year has passed, if we cannot contact you or you fail to update your payment details within 30 days of the missed payment, you will be notified that your Membership subscription has been cancelled permanently, and all unused benefits will be lost.

Legacy Direct Debit Members:
If you pay by direct debit, your payments will be collected on the 1st or 15th of the month, depending on your preferences when you joined.
We are unable to make changes to your direct debit collection dates or other direct debit arrangements. In 2020 we contacted all Members who pay by direct debit to request that they switch their payment method to continuous authority by updating their card details online, for which we have provided instructions.
Direct debit payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee. Upon signing up you were sent a confirmation to the email address you have provided that includes the details of the Direct Debit Instruction. The Advance Notice will also be sent to this email at least 5 days prior to the first Direct Debit, please note that a follow-up Advance Notice will be sent only if the date, frequency, or amount of the Direct Debit changes from the original confirmation.
Changes to Membership Benefits and Pricing:
The ICA reviews Membership benefits regularly and reserves the right to change or amend the benefits available to Members at any time. The benefits that you are currently entitled to are listed in this policy at www.ica.art/terms-conditions
No refunds will be offered should ICA change or withdraw any Membership benefits.
The ICA reviews Membership pricing regularly to ensure that we remain competitive. Your Membership subscription prices may be changed at any time, including a routine pricing review taking place at the beginning of each financial year, (1 April). You will be given 10 days’ notice by email of any changes to pricing, which will then be applied to your next scheduled annual or monthly payment. If you do not wish to accept the change in price, you may cancel your Membership, provided you have paid for a full year. See “Cancellation”.
If you elected to pay monthly and have been a member for less than one year, any changes to pricing will be applied after you have made 12 payments at the price at which you joined.
No refunds will be offered for payments which have been collected regardless of the value of the payment, provided we gave you 10 days’ notice if the payment has been increased.

b) We may, and the Artist may, apply to the court for an order to prevent you from continuing to breach your obligations under these Terms & Conditions; and
c) We may, and the Artist may, contact the operation of any internet website on which the Artwork is being offered for sale or on which an image of the Artwork has been placed by you or at your direction, and instruct such operation, on your behalf, to remove any such offer for sale or image from any such internet website.
