The clause shall be placed under a conspicuous caption in capital letters and boldface type stating the following:

NONREFUNDABLE AMOUNT
I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE PAID OR AM OBLIGATED TO PAY . . . . . . AS AN INITIATION OR MEMBERSHIP FEE, AND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS ANY PORTION OF THIS AMOUNT REFUNDABLE.
