LOSS OF MEMBERSHIP

A) Due to the member’s own wishes:
Due to the member’s own wishes and as a result of having transferred his or her share or undertaking to purchase, according to the regulations and requirements which enable this transfer. This termination does not imply the expiry or cancellation of any outstanding fees for maintenance or use or any other item which may be owed by the member.
B) Due to failure to pay:
Due to failure to pay the club fees or any other debts with the Club. In case of non-payment, from the date on which the member is under obligation to pay, he or she will be liable to an immediate penalty of 200.00 plus a 20% surcharge for late payment, calculated on a daily basis. The Board will grant the member a grace period of one month to make the payment, with a warning that if at the end of this period payment is still outstanding, membership will be cancelled. This will not affect any pertinent legal claims which may be made to obtain payment.

person it may designate, at its current value determined according to art. 8 of the by-laws of the company “Los Arqueros Golf and Country Club, S.A.” and any pertinent legal limitations.
