All memberships expire on Dec 31 of the year purchased (Memberships purchased Nov/Dec expire the following year-end.)

ALL SALES FINAL. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN.  Please make sure you are purchasing a membership for a USA Powerlifting (USA Powerlifting) event.

Auto-Renew memberships are only good for the Open division, and the member must be 14 years of age or older. Australia lifters cannot purchase an Auto-Renew membership at this time due to the mandatory insurance surcharge applied to the purchase.
