MEMBERSHIP
Contracts Paid Monthly: All contracts that are paid on a monthly basis are 12-month contracts. After 12 months, the contract automatically rolls over to a month-to-month contract and may be cancelled with 30 Day Advance Notice. Unless the member terminates his or her membership as set forth in the paragraphs below, all members are responsible for the duration of the contract agreement. There are no refunds of any sort, dealing with membership or programming at CSC. Your dues/fees are not based on usage and any change of status is the member’s responsibility.

Email statements and paper statements are sent near the 25th of each month for the following month’s dues. Monthly statements are sent as a courtesy.

Cancellation Policy: Member acknowledges that he/she cannot cancel the agreement before his/her minimum term has expired.

Members will be allowed to cancel their contracts, with proof, under the following exceptions: becoming disabled, death, or moving more than 25 miles from CSC.
