Buying Memberships and Tee Times Online

Currently in select locations only, The Back Nine offers customers the ability to purchase long term membership or month-to-month memberships (a “Monthly Membership”) and hours for use at such locations. To purchase a membership and/or a tee time online, you must provide to The Back Nine your name, e-mail address and credit or check card (check card must bear the VISA® or MASTERCARD® logo) for the payment method that you will use to make the purchase (hereinafter referred to as your “Payment Card”).

By requesting membership at The Back Nine and by accepting the benefits of membership at The Back Nine, you agree to the terms and conditions found in the Membership Agreement (above).

Monthly Membership: If you choose a Monthly Membership, you agree that as a condition of your continued membership at The Back Nine you authorize The Back Nine or its agent to charge your Payment Card the Monthly Membership fee (plus applicable taxes), in effect from time to time, on each monthly periodic anniversary date of your membership, until your Monthly Membership is canceled, as set forth in the Membership Agreement. For example, if your paid Monthly Membership began on June 19, your periodic anniversary date is the 19th of each month, and your Payment Card will be charged for the monthly periodic membership fee on that date each month. If your monthly periodic anniversary date falls on a date that is not contained in your anniversary month (for example, if your paid membership started on the 31st day of a month), your Payment Card will be charged on the first day of the following month. You will not be provided with copies of charge slips evidencing the recurring charges of the applicable periodic membership fee. You agree to pay the monthly periodic membership fees (plus taxes) in accordance with your Payment Card issuer agreement, if applicable. You also authorize The Back Nine to charge your Payment Card for any other charges you may incur associated with your Monthly Membership.

Pending Charges. You also authorize The Back Nine to place a pending charge to your Payment Card when you sign up for membership (for both long term membership and Monthly Membership), and prior to each subsequent periodic charge for Monthly Memberships. Pending charges are used to verify your billing address and the validity of your Payment Card, are temporary (typically 3 to 7 days in length) and will not be converted into an actual charge to you. Pending charges, while pending, will, however, reduce the available amount of credit on your Payment Card in the amount of $1 per pending charge.

Fees Relating to your Payment Card. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your Payment Card by the issuer, bank or financial institution including, but not limited to, membership, overdraft, insufficient funds and over the credit limit fees.

Expiration Date and Refusal of Charges to Your Payment Card. If your Payment Card reaches its original expiration date, your failure to cancel your Monthly Membership constitutes authorization for The Back Nine to continue billing that Payment Card. If your Payment Card for any reason will not accept charges for any periodic membership fee, you have a period of 10 days from the date that your Payment Card was declined to make your Payment Card information valid by either rectifying the issue with the Payment Card issuer or providing new Payment Card information at the Site. If The Back Nine is able to charge your Payment Card (existing or new, if you have provided new Payment Card information,) during the 10-day period and any past due The Back Nine membership fees are paid, then Monthly Membership benefits will continue uninterrupted and this Payment Card will be used to charge the applicable periodic membership fee for each consecutive renewal period until your Monthly Membership is cancelled (your original anniversary date will still apply) and will be your Payment Card for all purposes. If The Back Nine is unable to charge your Payment Card (existing or new, if you have provided new Payment Card information,) within the 10-day period, then your Monthly Membership will be indefinitely suspended beginning on the 11th day from the date your Payment Card was initially declined. For the 30 days immediately following the suspension day, The Back Nine may attempt to charge the Payment Card the periodic membership fee every 10 days. If the charge is accepted, then your Monthly Membership benefits will be reinstated as of the date the charge is accepted. This charge date now becomes your new periodic anniversary date and the Payment Card will be used to charge the applicable periodic membership fee for each consecutive renewal period until your Monthly Membership is cancelled in accordance with the Membership Agreement and will be your Payment Card for all purposes.

From time to time, The Back Nine may avail itself of account updating services provided by the Payment Card industry, including, without limitation, VISA’s Account Updater program or MasterCard’s Automatic Billing Updater program. By subscribing to a Monthly Membership, you hereby agree and authorize The Back Nine to update your Payment Card or similar account information and charge any updated Payment Card in accordance with the terms and conditions of such account updating programs.
