    Extra info

    Initial payment: pro rata
    When you sign up for Martial arts YEAR or Martial arts FLEX, you pay a pro rata amount.

    Direct debit
    Thereafter, an instalment is debited via direct debit in the first week of every month.

    Cancelling is simple
    Send an email to usc@uscsport.nl, or cancel your membership yourself via the ‘My USC’ website. Your membership will then expire on the last day of that month.*

    *If you cancel a FLEX membership in the same month in which you took it out, the FLEX membership will end on the last day of the following month. This means that at least one monthly payment will always be debited via direct debit before a FLEX membership expires.
