Unless specifically stated in writing by the club, fees paid for membership, sessions, events, or tournaments are non-transferable.

6. Refunds, Cancellations, and Rescheduling

Refunds, cancellations, or rescheduling requests may be handled based on the nature of the payment, reason for cancellation, timing of the request, and club committee decision.
