      month will be calculated as the sum of the following amounts (expressed

        subscription as at the last day of the previous calendar month
        multiplied by the Monthly Delegate Fee
        specified on the Platform on the last day of the previous calendar
        month; plus
      2. the total number of Safety Representative Seats the Union has added
        to its subscription as at the last day of the previous calendar
        month multiplied by the Monthly Safety
        Representative Fee specified on the Platform on the last day of the
        previous calendar month; plus
      3. the total number of Delegates & Safety Representative Seats the
        Union has added to its subscription as at the last day of the

        multiplied by the Monthly Organiser Fee
        specified on the Platform on the last day of the previous calendar
        month.
    5. For the avoidance of doubt, the Monthly User Fee is attributable to a
      Union User’s access and use of the Platform in its entirety and for a
