 I will send you the documents once available

first line is correct
 
 second line should be
 You have to pay the membership fee when the contract EXPIRES <-動詞
 
 "when it is expired"... sounds awkward in english

對, 如果要好d就係
 You have to pay the membership fee before the contract has expired

Support 用 expires!
 
 其實 after 梗係 has expired,
 但係 when 都用, 似乎係因為廣東話只有 "expire [左]", 個[左] 字飛唔走, "has expired" 飛唔走 =.=

這個是外國的網頁send給我, 提我要renew membership中用到的. 所以我會咁建議.佢係用...before the contract has expired...

before the contract has expired.............岩, 可以.
 
 其實 when, before, after 都可以, 只係背景意義語氣唔同.
 
 when...expires..... 唔係估你點點點, 只係客觀講出幾時再畀$
 
 before..has expired...... 拿, 快手快手, go go (pay me) (正面)
 
 after..has expired....... 拿, 如果到時咁, 你要點點點 (反面假設)

when...expires 是state fact
 before ....has expired 是telling you that you must do so, 如果唔係就會無會藉咁.
 after...has expired 即係有個寬限期.
 如果太家都係講要交會費的話.

 有個寬限期.. How Come?
 你估姐, 可以有可以冇.
 只係一般可以追交.
 
 可以冇寬限期 ----------- 12.31 到期日, 繼續 enjoy,
 
 1月1日至１月３日, 你唔來玩一件事, 總之你冇權玩 !!
 （因為你 "have to" pay 而冇 fullfill）
 
 1月４日, 到場畀＄, 即玩.
 係追交, 今年到期日仍然係 12.31

lol, still arguing for what leh...
 
 板主都走佐

xx,
 
 你咁分析都帶出一樣既野, 唔講語氣, 好簡單..... "原教旨主義" stick strictly to the words!
 
 when : state fact, no other detail
 
 before : 你事前有權畀＄而續會
 (小心斷會, 交 surcharge 乜都得)
 
 after : 你有權事後畀＄而續會
 (耐成點冇標準, 一兩日常理一定得)
 
 執行寬緊不能斷定.

幾多版長命過版主存在係 she.com?
 
 你 LOL for what leh, 我明既 ^^
