In the event that an Account Holder opts to have such amounts applied to future Ticket charges, however, such decision does not automatically confer any right on the Account Holder to purchase Tickets in the future. The Houston Astros reserve the right to refund any amounts paid for un-played Postseason games to Account Holder, without interest or damages of any kind, in the event that the Houston Astros determine, in their sole discretion, not to grant Account Holder a license to purchase Tickets in the future.
