Declaration
Important Information:
The applicant is responsible for providing accurate information. The signing of the declaration indicates an undertaking by the applicant to keep MDS informed and updated, in writing, of any changes to their Personal details and Professional circumstances. Failure to notify changes could result in the suspension of the benefits of the membership and/or its termination. MDS would only assist with any matter arising from an incident from the date of commencement. No assistance will be provided in a matter if the member might have been aware of the matter before the commencement of the membership. MDS may approach the previous professional organisation of the applicant for the history of assistance for which your consent will be requested below. When leaving their previous professional organisation, the applicant should notify them of any adverse incident of which the applicant is aware that could become a request for assistance. The applicant should also check with the previous professional organisation whether any closing payment is required to secure 'run-off' cover for any claims which may arise from an incident pre-dating the end of the member's subscription with the previous organisation.

Also, the applicant consents MDS to be able to disclose the information to legal or other professional advisors or other medical protection organisations or to the third parties involved in the process of the membership application and in assisting with the services as part of advisory and claims handling process. The MDS Privacy Policy is available on request.
MDS may wish to provide you with information about other products and services that it may think would be of interest to you.
If you do wish to receive this information, please tick the methods you consent to receipt.
Withdrawal of application and cancellation of subscription:
If the application for membership is withdrawn within fourteen calendar days after submission or renewal, a full refund of the membership subscription paid will be made and the membership would be deemed to be null and void. After 14 days of application and confirmation of membership, a minimum period of 12 months of the membership period will apply. If advice has been provided at any time during the membership period, then the member will be liable for full payment of the annual subscription fees. Cancellation requests will only be processed when a notice is provided by the member in writing to: [email protected].
MDS reserves the right to cancel any membership with immediate effect if there is any breach of the expressed or implied terms and conditions of the membership plan, or when membership has been obtained under false pretences. In such cases there is no automatic right to refund of subscription fees paid or to any advice and representation by MDS.
