Membership Terms & Conditions

 

By agreeing to our terms and conditions, I agree to the following:


RIVENHALL OAKS - TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP

We may change these Terms and Conditions from time to time, but we will always notify you of these changes.  Members are respectfully reminded of their obligation to observe all rules and conditions and to make every effort to comply with any reasonable request made by the Centre Manager. You can use the Centre facilities during opening hours in accordance with your membership category, as well as local rules, the Course Rules, the Code of Conduct and the Dress Code.

 

  1. FEES

 

1.1     Amount

All Members must pay a Membership Fee annually, according to the category of Membership, chosen at the time of the purchase. The Centre reserves the right to vary the Membership Fee at the time of the Member’s renewal in accordance with clause 1.4 below. The fees, as well as any privileges and restrictions that may apply to the use of the Centre’s facilities shall be determined by the category of Membership purchased by the Member. Membership, administration and subscription fees are non- refundable. Membership charges are subject to annual review

 

1.2     Membership Subscriptions

Members have a choice to pay their fees either monthly in advance via a recurring payment, allowing Members to spread the full year’s Membership Fee over the course of a year, or in full for the commitment period, and then annually thereafter via cash, cheque, recurring payments or selected credit cards. The type of payment is elected by the Member.

 

1.3     Recurring Payment

By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you authorise Rivenhall Oaks Golf Centre ("we", "us", "our") to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring monthly/Annual basis for the membership category you have subscribed to. This is known as a Continuous Payment Authority ("CPA").

1.3.1 Payment Authorisation
When you provide your payment details and accept these T&Cs, you authorise us to:

  • Debit your account for the agreed amount monthly/Annually, corresponding to your selected membership category.

  • Process payments without further notice or consent from you for each transaction.

1.3.2 Recurring Payment Details

  • Frequency: Payments will be debited monthly/Annually.

  • Amount: The payment amount will reflect the membership category you have selected. You will be notified in advance of any changes to the payment amount.
