§ 9351 Member Dues And Resignation

Key Takeaways

  • •A club or group can charge members money if their rules say they can.
  • •If you don’t want to pay, you can quit the club right away to avoid the fee.
  • •You still have to pay if you signed a contract saying you would.

Example

You join a gym that charges a yearly fee. One day, the gym says they’re adding a new $50 fee for all members.

If you don’t want to pay the $50, you can quit the gym right away. But if you signed a paper saying you’d pay all fees, you still have to pay even if you quit.

§ 9351 Member Dues And Resignation

A corporation may levy dues, assessments, or fees upon its members pursuant to its articles or bylaws, but a member upon learning of them may avoid liability for them by promptly resigning from membership, except where the member is, by contract or otherwise, liable for them. Article or bylaw provisions authorizing such dues, assessments, or fees do not, of themselves, create such liability. (Added by Stats. 1978, Ch. 567.)
