The membership year for SHAC corresponds to the publication year for Ambix, the quarterly peer reviewed journal of the Society, so the annual fee covers from 1st January to 31st December of each year.
SHAC has recently introduced several alternative ways for members to pay their membership fees
When is the renewal date for my subscription?
You will receive a payment reminder email in the December of your current membership year. You should pay promptly after receipt of this payment reminder, ideally by the end of February, irrespective of when you first joined the Society
What happens if I join the Society part way through the year?
Your “membership year” commences on the 1st January of the year you join and, on joining part way through the year, you will receive access to the membership sections of the web site from then on and receive hard copies of any back issues of Ambix published so far for that year.
What happens if I join after the end of September in a year?
SHAC will offer you the choice between joining in the current year or joining at the beginning of the next membership year.
SHAC has recently introduced several alternatives ways for members to pay membership fees.
How may I pay for my membership fee?
You may pay for your fee by means of your credit card, your debit card or through your PayPal account. If none of these payment methods suit you, you may pay by cheque or by bank transfer.
You may either take action every year to pay for each year as your payment becomes due or, once you have been a member of SHAC for one year, you may set up a recurring annual payment. To reduce administration costs, SHAC would prefer that you set up a recurring annual payment at you first renewal and full details of such payments will be available to you at the time of renewal.
How do I pay for my membership fee using my credit or debit card?
You can choose to use your credit card to either pay a one-off fee for one year or you can set up a recurring annual payment. You do not have to have a PayPal account to use your credit card, even though SHAC uses PayPal facilities to enable you to use your credit card. Simply the appropriate button for your subscription rate on the new member page (https://www.ambix.org/membership/subscription-2/ ). This will take you to a page run by PayPal which will collect the necessary details of you and your card and enable you to make the payment. PayPal will then charge your credit card for the amount and will pay SHAC the amount less a small charge. The transaction will appear on your credit card statement as “Card payment to PayPal, SHAC”.
Do I need to have a PayPal account to use my credit or debit card?
You do not have to have a PayPal account. SHAC uses Pay Pal facilities to take a credit or debit card payment from you. This means that PayPal will collect from you the details necessary so that PayPal can charge your card and ensure the card company can verify your details.
How do I pay for my membership fee using my PayPal account?
If you have an existing PayPal account, click on the relevant button on the payment form to choose between a one-year subscription or an annual recurring payment. You will be asked to log in to your PayPal account. Once there you may make your choice of subscription. PayPal will email you to confirm the type of subscription you have taken out and will also notify the Treasurer at SHAC of the payment.
How do I notify the Society of changes to my email and postal address?
It is important that you keep the Society informed of such changes as soon as possible, otherwise your next copy of Ambix will go astray and the Society may not be able to keep you informed of various activities.
To notify the Society of any such changes please email the Secretary: info(at) Ambix.org)
How do I notify the Society if I no longer want to be a member?
Notify the Secretary by email: info(at) Ambix.org.
