German term or phrase: several (sorry)
I essentially know what this means, but I'd appreciate suggestions for the proper wording in (UK) English:

Hiermit ermächte(n) ich/wir Sie widerruflich, die von mir zu entrichtende Zahlung bei Fälligkeit zu Lasten meines/unseres Kontos mittels Lastschrift einzuziehen. Damit ist auch meine/unsere kontoführende Bank ermächtigt, die Lastschriften einzulösen, wobei für diese keine Verpflichtung zur Einlösung besteht, insbesondere dann, wenn mein/unser Konto die erforderliche Deckung nicht aufweist. Ich/Wir habe(n) das Recht, innerhalb von 42 Kalendertagen ab dem Abbuchungstag ohne Angabe von Gründen die Rückbuchung bei meiner/unserer Bank zu veranlassen.

Thanks for the quick response. I had arrived at something close to this, but 'two heads etc.', and I doubt that there's that much difference between UK and NA.

Explanation:
I wouldn't mind trying my hand at this, but I'm a Yank and wouldn't want to go to all the trouble just to be told it isn't UK enough.
