8.2 Cineworld reserves the right to increase the annual subscription fee payable by instalment under the Monthly Payment Plan to reflect the cost to Cineworld of accepting payment by instalment. Such changes shall not take effect during the Initial Period and shall be notified to You in writing and at least one month before they come into effect.
8.3 Monthly Payment Plan
8.3.1 Under the Monthly Payment Plan, You agree to pay the full annual subscription fee for the Initial Period in 12 equal monthly instalments during the Initial Period.
8.3.2 (a) When Cineworld accepts your application for an Unlimited Card, You shall pay the following amount
by credit card, debit card, Cineworld voucher, gift card or cash (vouchers, gift cards and cash may only be
used at Cineworld Cinema box offices):
(i) if the User is a UK resident, the first month's instalment; or
(ii) if the User is a resident in Ireland, the first two months' instalments.
(b) Each instalment for the remaining months shall be paid in advance by Direct Debit from a nominated
bank account. You will need to fill in the Direct Debit instruction included in the Agreement correctly
prior to submitting your application form. Each payment will be debited on the same day of each month,
being the same day of the month that the first instalment was paid. If this date falls on a weekend
or a bank holiday, or if there is no day of the same date in any month (e.g. 30 February) payment will
be debited by your bank on the previous or next working day. Please check with your bank for details.
8.3.3 Unless You cancel your subscription at the end of the Initial Period in accordance with the Agreement, the Subscription Period will automatically be extended after the Initial Period if You continue to pay the monthly fee each month.
8.3.4 If You want to change the bank account to be debited, You must telephone the Unlimited Helpline to provide the new Direct Debit details and give Cineworld at least three weeks to process this change.
8.3.5 If, during the Initial Period, Cineworld does not receive any monthly payment or You seek to terminate the Agreement except as permitted in clauses 10 or 11, Cineworld may terminate the Agreement and deactivate the Unlimited Card as described in clause 12 below. Cineworld will be entitled to recover damages from You, which may include its reasonable administration expenses caused by the incident and the fees and expenses (including those of debt collectors) that Cineworld may reasonably and properly incur to recover the outstanding subscription fees which are due to Cineworld under the Agreement for the remainder of the Initial Period.
8.4 Annual Payment Plan
8.4.1 Under the Annual Payment Plan, You agree to pay the annual subscription fee for the Initial Period in a single advance payment.
8.4.2 You may pay the annual subscription fee by debit card, credit card, Cineworld voucher, gift card or cash (vouchers, gift cards and cash may only be used at Cineworld Cinema box offices).
8.4.3 At least six weeks before the end of the Initial Period, Cineworld will offer You the opportunity to pay the subscription fee for the next year by debit or credit card, or to move to the Monthly Payment Plan.
8.4.4 If this Agreement is terminated during the Initial Period (or any Subscription Period) on Legitimate Grounds
(as described in clause 11), Cineworld will refund the amount paid for any full months remaining less one month.
8.5 Extending your Unlimited Card
8.5.1 If You extend the Subscription Period after the Initial Period, the fees for both the Monthly Payment Plan and the Annual Payment Plan will be those in force on the date the Initial Period expires.
9. LOST, STOLEN OR DEFECTIVE CARDS
9.1 The User will need to telephone the Unlimited Helpdesk as soon as possible to report any lost or stolen Unlimited Card.
9.2 If the Unlimited Card is lost or stolen, Cineworld will charge an administration fee to replace it. The charge is currently £10.00 (or €16.00 if You are in Ireland) but this may be changed by Cineworld to reflect its administration costs. Once the fee is paid, Cineworld will send a replacement card to the User.
9.3 If the subscription is paid by Direct Debit, the amount of the administration fee will be debited directly from your bank account. If a Direct Debit is not in place, You will need to pay the administration fee before Cineworld will send out a new card.
9.4 If the card is defective, the User must return it to Unlimited Helpdesk as soon as possible for a free replacement. Cineworld's liability in such cases is expressly limited to replacement of the defective Unlimited Card.
9.5 For the avoidance of doubt, no refunds will be given for cinema tickets purchased by the User between the date the card was lost or stolen or a replacement card was requested and the date the User receives his or her new card.
10. CHANGES
10.1 Subscription fees may be increased by Cineworld to reflect changes in standard ticket prices, inflation, Cineworld's costs, additional taxes and costs that are not imposed by Cineworld. Any increase in the subscription fee will be notified to You at least one month before it comes into effect. Increases shall not take effect during any Initial Period, except as described in clause 10.2.
10.2 If there is a change in the rate of VAT or any other tax, or any other tax is imposed, Cineworld will be entitled to change the subscription fees to reflect such changes, at any time including during the Initial Period. This change will only affect You during the Initial Period if You are on the Monthly Payment Plan. Cineworld will give not less than one month's notice of any increase and the Direct Debit amounts after expiry of such notice will be adjusted accordingly. Any other changes shall take effect as described in the remainder of this clause 10.
10.3 If You have extended the Subscription Period beyond any Initial Period increases in the subscription fees will take effect after expiry of any notice given by Cineworld under clause 10.1 or 10.2 as follows:

(ii) if You pay the fees in advance, the increase will take effect at the end of the period for which fees have been paid.
10.4 Cineworld reserves the right to make changes to the Conditions on giving You at least one month's prior written notice.

(ii) You are on the Annual Payment Plan and the changes are to your disadvantage,
You will have 30 days from the notice date in which to terminate the Agreement.
10.6 If You terminate the Agreement under clause 10.5 and You are on the Monthly Payment Plan, You may stop making payments from one month after the date of the direct debit which follows You telling us you wish to terminate. If You are on the Annual Payment Plan, Cineworld will repay You an amount equal to the value of the remaining full months' subscription fee less one month.
11. TERMINATION BY YOU
11.1 You may terminate the Agreement during the Initial Period only on Legitimate Grounds. You must notify Cineworld in writing of your request to terminate, stating the reason for termination and enclosing any supporting evidence. The application must be made by post or via email to the Unlimited Helpdesk.

Notice must be given to the Unlimited Helpdesk in writing by post or via email. Termination will take effect one month after the date of the Direct Debit which follows receipt of Your notice to terminate. PLEASE NOTE: due to Cineworld's current payment processes, if You are paying by Direct Debit, any Unlimited Card will be automatically deactivated if You cancel the Direct Debit. If You wish to cancel your Direct Debit, please do not do so until after the date on which your Unlimited Card expires or terminates. Cineworld will confirm this date in writing on receipt of your termination notice.
11.6 If You have extended the Subscription Period for a full year after the Initial Period and have paid under the Annual Payment Plan, You may cancel the Unlimited Card on one months' notice and Cineworld will refund the fees paid for any remaining full months after the termination date.

11.7 Additionally, You may terminate the Agreement at any time if Cineworld commits a serious breach of the Agreement.
