Suspension & Termination of Membership

1. The Club, at its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate the membership of a member for failing to act, in fact or in spirit, in a manner consistent with that set forth by the Club in these Policies, the Club's Membership Plan or such member's Membership Agreement.

In the event of such a suspension or termination, the Club will notify the member in writing that such action has been taken, but in instances where the Club, in its sole discretion, believes there is just and sufficient cause, it may suspend or terminate membership effective on an immediate basis.  In such instances, verbal notification to the suspended or terminated member by an authorized Club official shall constitute sufficient notification.

In the event a membership is suspended, the Club will advise the member in writing of the reason for the suspension and the period of the suspension.  During a period of suspension, a suspended member is prohibited from using any of the Club's facilities or otherwise visiting the Club.  All scheduled dues, fees and other mandatory charges will continue to be billed to a suspended member's account during such member's period of suspension, and a suspended member's responsibility for settling such member's Club account in full on a monthly basis is in no way altered by a suspended member's status.  The Club may require that a member's Club account be paid in full prior to a suspension of membership being lifted.

In the event a membership is terminated, the Club will advise the member in writing of the reason for the termination, and forward a final statement of the member's Club account to the member for immediate settlement in full.  As set forth in such member's Membership Agreement, a terminated member forfeits all rights to any refund of an initiation fee.

2. The Club shall be the sole judge of what constitutes failing to act, in fact or spirit, in a manner consistent with that set forth by the Club in these Policies, the Club's Membership Plan or a particular Membership Agreement.  However, actions that may result in suspension or termination of membership include, but are not limited to, any of the following on the part of a member, immediate family member or guest:

• Engaging in conduct that is improper or likely to endanger the welfare, safety, harmony or reputation of the Club or its members.

• Behaving abusively toward Club personnel or employees.

• Acting in a manner incompatible with the standard of conduct of the existing membership or which would likely injure the reputation of the members of the Club.

• Failure to accompany an accompanied guest while visiting the Club as required by the Club.

• A filing for bankruptcy.

• Submitting false information on the application for membership.

• Failing to pay initiation deposits, membership dues, and Club account charges in a proper and timely manner.

• Failing to abide by these Policies as set forth herein and as amended by the Club from time to time.
