By using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms in their entirety. If you do
not want to agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not access or use the Service.
The terms "you," "your," or "users" refer to Players, Clubs, and all visitors, and others who access any part of the
Service. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent that you
have the authority to bind that organization/entity to these Terms, in which case the

The Service enables users to signup for, pay for, and join Clubs as a Club member (individually a
"Membership," and collectively "Memberships") on the Service. Clubs are also
subject to the terms of the Club Addendum.
Clubs may require you to agree to additional terms with them directly and Your Membership is contingent
upon you agreeing to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions imposed by the Club.

materials. As a Player, you may contact Clubs through the Service and signup for Memberships. We may provide
you with information about Clubs that we believe may be of interest to you.
To the extent that you provide any information, including, but not limited to, personal information or
information related to any Clubs or Players, to Light or its representatives, or access or seek access to any
such information through the Service, you represent, warrant and covenant that: (a) you are providing or
accessing only your own information or the information of others whose information you are authorized to

upon or misappropriate the Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise violate the rights of any third parties,

moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights.

that Light is under no obligation to become involved in or to resolve any dispute between or among users or
any third party.
Club Memberships
The Service only enables connections between users and Clubs for the fulfillment
of certain Memberships. Light is not responsible for the performance or
communications between users and Clubs, nor does it have control over the
quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of
Memberships arranged between users and Clubs, nor the integrity, responsibility,
competence, qualifications, or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any
users or Clubs, or of any ratings provided by users or Clubs with respect to
each other. Light makes no warranties or representations about the suitability,
reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the services requested or services
provided by, or the communications of or between, users and Clubs identified
through the Service, whether in public, private, or offline interactions or
otherwise. The Clubs, not Light, are solely responsible for honoring any
Memberships that users sign up for through our Service. You acknowledge and
agree that each Club sets its own cancellation policy as set forth in the
listing for a Membership or as otherwise provided by the Club and any additional
terms made a condition of a Membership, and these terms are a legally binding
service contract (the "Membership Agreement") between the Club and you only. Any
terms of a Membership Agreement are between Club and you and do not expand
Light's obligations or restrict Light's rights under this Agreement. You agree
that Light is not a party to any Membership Agreement and the formation of a
Membership Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or
other service relationship between Light and you or between Light and the Club,
nor will it create an employment relationship between you and the Club. Light's
role is restricted solely to acting as a limited payment collection agent for
the Club to facilitate payment on behalf of the Club through the Service in
respect of any service they perform such as a Membership. In acting as the
limited payment collection agent to signup with a Club, Light disclaims any
other agency or authority to act on behalf of a Club, and assumes no liability
or responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Club, either within or
outside of the Service. IF YOU WANT TO REQUEST A REFUND OR A CANCELLATION FOR A
MEMBERSHIP, YOU MUST CHECK THE TERMS OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT AND REQUEST
THE REFUND OR CANCELLATION FROM THE CLUB AND YOU MUST ALSO CONTACT US AT
support@thelightco.net . LIGHT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND IS NOT OBLIGATED, TO
PROVIDE ANY REFUNDS. Clubs may reject your request for Membership. If you have
found a Club through the Service, you agree to signup for the Membership as well
as conduct any and all financial transactions regarding the Club solely via the
Service and not through another entity or directly with the Club.

You are responsible for paying the fees described in any Confirmation for each transaction which will be collected and processed by a third party payment processor. You agree to the terms provided by our payment processor and authorize Light to send instructions to the financial institution that issued Your card or PayPal to take payments from your card or PayPal account.

When you or Club receives confirmation through the Service or via email that a Membership has been accepted or booked, you automatically authorize the third party payment provider to process the fees as described in any Confirmation. You may be charged a cancellation fee if a Membership is booked (or accepted) but you cancel not in accordance with the Club's cancellation policy. Light reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, upon request from a you, or upon notice of any fraud, unauthorized charges or other misuse of the Service, to (i) place a hold on any Membership Fee, or (ii) refund or provide credits, or arrange for the third party payment provider to do so.
Cancellations. The Club's cancellation policy will apply to any cancellation. Your ability to receive a refund for the fees and other amounts charged to You will depend upon the terms of the Club's cancellation policy and, in some cases, no refund may be issued. Except as provided herein, the fees are non-refundable. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies of the Club are available in the listing for the Membership, the Membership Agreement or directly from the Club.
