Under EU regulations, if you are based in the EU and paying your subscription by credit card through the WorldPay system, you have the right to cancel your subscription within seven days.

Alternatively, you can complete the membership form and mail it, together with a cheque in Sterling, Euros or U.S. Dollars, to:

International Phonetic Association
c/o Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences

We do, however, recommend using the WorldPay website: it is quicker and cuts down on the administrative costs for the Association.
