These terms and conditions will govern membership in OurRaceCar.com.
Membership
Membership is activated upon receipt of US$50 for an annual membership (or 24 months if payer has paid for 24 months, or 36 months if payer has paid for 36 months). Membership will entitle you to one vote on all major decisions associated with the operations of a successful racing operation. Such as the choosing of the team manager, drivers, pit crew etc.
Of the US$50 payment, $40 (80%) goes towards starting OurRaceCar.comRacing and to cover operating costs. The remainder, i.e. $10 (20%), goes towards the administration of the OurRaceCar.com website. The membership fee is annual; members can choose to set up recurring payments. Members also have the option to purchase more than one year at a time. Anyone who hasn’t set up recurring payments or purchased for more than one year will be notified at the beginning of their final month of membership, they must arrange to renew their membership before the end of the 12th month of membership to ensure they do not lose any position in seniority.
