Section K: Premiums
18.1 - Premium
A member who has a unit entered in the club shall pay a fixed premium in an amount agreed between the member and the managers

Where, for any reason, a return of premium is due, then unless a member notifies and submits his claim for reimbursement in writing within three months, no allowance or return shall be made unless the managers otherwise determine.
19.1.1 - Payment
Any premium or other sums due shall be designated in such currency, and be payable in such manner and at such time, as the managers may specify. If any sum due is not paid on the specified date, time being of the essence, such member shall pay interest on the amount outstanding from that date until the date of payment at such rate as the board determines. The managers may, however, waive payment of interest in whole or in part.

Where a member has appointed a broker, the broker is the agent of the member.
