Version: July 1, 2025
Article 1. Applicability of the General Terms and Conditions
1.1 These Terms and Conditions apply to all memberships entered into by Golfcentrum Amsteldijk.
1.2 If and to the extent that a separate agreement deviates from the provisions of these general terms and conditions, the provisions of the separate agreement shall apply, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Article 2. Internal Regulations
2.1 Members must comply at all times with the Bylaws as they are currently in effect.
2.2 Upon registration, Golfcentrum Amsteldijk will provide a copy of the Internal Regulations in effect at that time. Golfcentrum Amsteldijk is entitled at all times to amend and/or supplement the Internal Regulations. Any such amendment will always be posted on the Golfcentrum Amsteldijk website.
Article 3. Costs and Payment
3.1 Upon entering into a Membership, a one-time registration fee is due, which must be paid before the start of the first Membership period. After a membership is terminated, a new registration fee is due upon entering into a new membership that does not begin immediately following the previous membership.
3.2 Each Member pays the membership fee corresponding to the selected membership type. The board determines the amount of the membership fees annually.
3.3 The membership fee must be paid in advance and may be paid in monthly or annual installments. The method of payment for the membership fee and the applicable payment terms are set forth in the membership agreement entered into between Golfcentrum Amsteldijk and the Member.
3.4 Cash payments are only accepted for annual installments.
3.5 Depending on the selected membership plan, payment may be made via direct debit. In principle, payments are debited monthly. If a direct debit fails on the first attempt, Golfcentrum Amsteldijk—without needing to contact the Member—is entitled to repeat the debit within 5 business days and to charge a fee of €5.95 (including VAT). If the repeat direct debit attempt also fails, the outstanding amount (membership fees + repeat direct debit fees) must be paid by the Member at the Golfcentrum Amsteldijk front desk or via bank transfer to Golfcentrum Amsteldijk’s account.
3.6 In the event of late payment or a failed direct debit and the subsequent retry, the Member—without the need for prior notice of default—shall be in default and will be denied access to Golfcentrum Amsteldijk. As soon as Golfcentrum Amsteldijk has received the full amount of the outstanding balance, the Member may once again use the facilities of Golfcentrum Amsteldijk, provided that Golfcentrum Amsteldijk has not yet exercised its authority under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of these general terms and conditions to terminate the membership.
3.7 Members who have made a reservation at Golfcentrum Amsteldijk based on a Membership with a punch card may cancel this reservation no later than 24 hours before the start of the reservation. If a reservation is canceled within 24 hours before the start of the reservation, or if a Member fails to use the reservation without canceling it, the Member is liable for the full amount of the reservation.
3.8 If a payment deadline is exceeded, the Member shall owe statutory interest on the full outstanding amount without any notice being required. Golfcentrum Amsteldijk is also entitled to charge the Member for all judicial and extrajudicial collection costs incurred after the payment deadline has expired, to the Member, whereby the extrajudicial collection costs are deemed to amount to 15% of the total invoice amount, with a minimum of €250.
Article 4. Term and Termination of Membership
4.1 Unless otherwise agreed, a Membership is entered into for a period of 12 months.
4.2 Memberships entered into for a specific period may be canceled, subject to a one-month notice period prior to the end of the agreed-upon membership period.
