  • Responsibility for Fees: The Member agrees to be fully responsible for all costs incurred as a result of a chargeback, including but not limited to: bank or payment processor chargeback fees, reversed entrance, event, or Membership charges, chargeback administrative processing fees, and accounting, compliance, and record correction costs. Administrative processing fees may range from $50 to $150 per incident, depending on the nature and severity of the chargeback.
  • Membership Reinstatement: Reinstatement of Membership, if permitted, will occur only after all outstanding balances and fees are paid in full. Reinstatement is not guaranteed, approval is at the sole discretion of the Club, and additional conditions or restrictions may apply.
  • Payment Method Restrictions: Following a chargeback, the Club reserves the right to restrict future payments to cash only or other approved payment methods.
  • Repeat Violations: Any subsequent chargeback or payment dispute may result in immediate and permanent termination of Membership, without refund and without the option for reinstatement.
  • No Circumvention: Attempts to circumvent this Policy through alternate names, accounts, cards, or third parties will result in permanent denial of Membership.
  • Enforcement and Governing Law: This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. The Club reserves the right to enforce this Policy at its sole discretion. Failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce it in the future.
