Cancellation policy

The following terms and conditions apply to all Port Skills and Safety Limited (PPS) bookings. Any cancellations must be notified, in writing to the accounts team at [email protected] and admin team [email protected].

Membership fees

Membership fees are charged on an annual basis and are non-refundable for the current membership year. For members who join mid-year, fees are charged on a pro-rata basis. Quotes for renewal of membership for the following year are issued in December. Should you wish to cancel your membership for the upcoming year, written notice must be provided before the end of the current year. Failure to notify us by this deadline will result in a three-month termination fee, calculated based on the membership renewal quote for the upcoming period.
