Scheduled membership subscription payments by your nominated credit card are automatically processed via Stripe, based on the subscription period you chose when signing up. To learn more about Stripe and its security protocols and the protection of your data, please visit the Stripe website.

All prices and dollar amounts on this Website are in Australian dollars.

We reserve the right to stop accepting credit cards from one or more issuers.

By submitting a credit card number to Stripe via Australian Hunters Club, you are representing and warranting that the credit card information you provide is valid, authentic, current, and one that you are authorized to use.

Failed Payments

If a charge against a credit card you provide is not authorized or accepted, or is subsequently refused or rejected, we reserve the right to cancel your order without notice or liability.

When a scheduled credit card payment fails, the Australian Hunters Club website commences a payment retry process, which can take up to 8 days to complete fully. During this process, the user’s membership is temporarily suspended, along with their access to membership content, and they will not be eligible for giveaways. During this period, the membership plan will be marked as either ‘pending‘ or ‘paused‘ and subsequent subscription as ‘on hold‘ in the user’s account page.

To regain access to the membership, the customer will need to log in to the website and reactivate their membership subscription via the subscription page in the accounts section by adding a valid credit card. Failure to do so in a timely fashion will result in the membership being canceled. Instructions will be sent to the user outlining this process and dates required for payment.

Recurring Billing

Membership products consist of recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing to purchase a membership subscription plan, you acknowledge that such Services have a recurring payment feature, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.

Switching Memberships/Subscriptions

Users with active memberships can upgrade and downgrade subscription levels whenever they want.

Now the user can select a new membership subscription from the list, including monthly and annual variants of the basic, premium, and platinum memberships.

Note: Switches are prorated, and additional payment may be required to complete the process.

XII. Membership Directory and Member Profiles

Members of the Australian Hunters Club at any tier (except those in a trial period) have the opportunity to create a member profile. These profiles appear on the club’s website within the members directory and can be filtered and viewed by other members who have active profiles. This is an optional service available to members.

Profile Usage and Privacy

To prevent misuse of this service, only members with profiles can use the members directory and view other members’ profiles. Each member can only have one profile at any given time. Profiles can be edited or deleted by the member at any point via the members account page. However, please note that deleting a profile may result in loss of access to the members directory.

Every profile includes a contact form that allows other members to send emails to each other. The Australian Hunters Club website facilitates this process by sending the email on behalf of the member who submitted the form. Through this process, the club ensures that members’ email addresses remain private. It is then up to the recipient member to decide whether or not they wish to respond to the email. Form submission data through profiles is saved for archival, reporting, and complaint management purposes.

Content Guidelines and Misuse Policy

We value our members’ privacy, and as such, we hide all personal, private, and contact information on member profiles, including last name, full address, and email address.

Members must only upload images or input written content to their profiles that they own or have the license for. Uploading copyrighted material may result in the deletion of the member’s profile and termination of their membership.

When creating or editing a profile, members must be truthful and refrain from misrepresenting themselves. Uploading misleading material may result in the deletion of the profile and termination of membership.

Misuse Policy

Representatives of AMELPA PTY LTD reserve the right to delete a member’s profile or terminate their membership if they misuse this service by creating user-generated content that is abusive, pornographic, sexist, sexual, racist, disrespectful, distasteful, involves public slander, violence, or any other content deemed inappropriate by the representatives. Abusive content is not limited to written or visual content.

Furthermore, the representatives of AMELPA PTY LTD reserve the right to restrict access to members, delete members’ content and profiles, or terminate a member’s membership if they engage in spamming or abuse of the contact forms on either a single member’s profile or multiple members’ profiles. These forms are intended to facilitate initial introductions and connections among members and are not designed for ongoing conversations, self-promotion, or highlighting misconduct.

XIII. Genuine Reason

Through both the Premium and Platinum membership tiers, The Australian Hunters Club offers NSW members the option to use their membership with the club to apply for an R-Licence, thus gaining access to the “Recreational Hunting / Vermin Control” category, a genuine reason for owning a firearm. This status is utilized when filling out a firearm application.

• Premium and Platinum members with annual memberships gain immediate access to this option upon signing up.
• Premium and Platinum members with monthly memberships gain access 92 days after signing up.
• Members must report the expiry of their R-Licence, acquired through club membership, immediately to The Australian Hunters Club via the contact page. Failure to do so may result in membership termination.
• If membership is canceled due to failed payment, member request, termination, or downgrading to the basic tier, R-Licence application access is immediately revoked. The club reports this status change to the NSW firearm registry promptly.
• Members intending to cancel their membership while using the Australian Hunters Club as their genuine reason must obtain genuine reason status through another club before cancellation. Failure to do so may result in loss of firearm license, forfeiture of firearms, and potential legal repercussions.
  
  
  

XIV. Public Liability Insurance

Members with an active R-Licence acquired through The Australian Hunters Club membership are covered with public liability insurance by NSW DPI Hunting when hunting under standard recreational license conditions in NSW.

• The insurance covers bodily injury and/or property damage to third parties up to the value of $25 million.
• Coverage includes hunting on private land for species listed in the Game and Feral Animal Control Act 2002 and on public land under the terms of an NSW Restricted Game Hunting Licence (R-Licence) with written permission.
• The policy excludes commercial hunting or hunting for reward (guided hunting). However, if commercial or guide license holders hunt recreationally without compensation, they are insured. It is imperative for these license holders to maintain records distinguishing between paid and private hunting activity for insurance purposes.
• Coverage is limited to NSW; it does not extend beyond the state. Members can find more information about insurance available to R-Licence holders via the NSW DPI Hunting website.
  
  
  

XV. Trial Membership

The Australian Hunters Club offers a trial membership designed to provide a preview of club benefits before committing to a paid membership.

• Trail membership lasts for 90 days. On the 91st day, it automatically upgrades to Basic Membership with an annual subscription plan, triggering automated billing.
• During the 90-day period, members cannot create harvest/trophy reports, view such reports, create a membership profile, or access the member directory. These features become available automatically after the trial period.
• Members can request cancellation of their trial membership at any point during the 90 days to avoid charges. Cancellations after the 90 days follow our refund policy terms.
  
  
  

XVI. Product Discounts

Active club members can purchase exclusive member products via the club’s online store. Discounts on eligible products vary based on the user’s membership tier at the time of purchase:

• Basic membership: 5% off eligible products
