9. Paid Listings, Subscriptions & Billing

Golf & Travel International offers paid premium listing plans for golf course operators on a monthly or annual subscription basis. By subscribing, you agree to the following billing terms:

Subscription Billing

Monthly subscriptions are billed automatically each month on the same date as the original purchase.
Annual subscriptions are billed once per year as a single upfront payment.
You authorise Golf & Travel International to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
All prices are listed in USD. We reserve the right to change pricing with at least 30 days' notice to active subscribers.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from within your account dashboard under Billing & Membership — no phone call or email required.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Your premium listing features will remain fully active until that date.
We do not pro-rate or credit unused days remaining in a billing period upon cancellation.

Refund Policy

Monthly plans: A full refund may be requested within 5 days of a renewal charge. Refund requests made after 5 days of the renewal date will not be honoured.
Annual plans: A full refund may be requested within 5 days of the annual charge date. After 5 days, no refund will be issued for any remaining months of the annual term, as the discounted annual rate is provided in exchange for the full upfront commitment.
Refunds are not available for the initial purchase period once premium features have been activated and used, except at our sole discretion.
To request a refund, contact us at [email protected] within the applicable window. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.

Failed Payments

If a renewal payment fails, we will attempt to retry the charge. Premium listing features may be suspended until payment is successfully collected.
If payment cannot be collected after multiple attempts, your subscription will be cancelled and your listing will revert to a standard free listing.
