B. OPERATION OF THE FACILITIES
The Association owns and shall manage the Facilities. The Association shall determine the hours during which the Facilities shall be available for use and publish the hours of operation in the Rules.

The Association shall establish a maximum number of members entitled to use the Facilities, or some portion thereof, at a given time. If the Facilities, or some portion thereof, are being used at maximum capacity, the Association shall have the authority to deny access to the Facilities, or the applicable portion thereof, to members until such time that use declines below maximum capacity. In those instances, a member who is not allowed to use the Facilities, or some portion thereof, because use is at maximum capacity, will not be entitled to a refund or credit of any portion of the applicable membership fee. Each member shall be required to sign a document acknowledging the receipt of a copy of the Rules relating to the Facilities. By signing the acknowledgment, the member agrees to be bound by and comply with the Rules, as well as all terms and conditions of the applicable membership plan.
