By enrolling in the Membership Program, you (“Member,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Company and the Member may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, the Company provides educational content, resources, community access, and related services through the Membership Program;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. MEMBERSHIP
By purchasing and enrolling in the Membership Program, you become a Member and are granted access to the content and services provided therein until such time as your Membership is terminated by either Party in accordance with this Agreement.
All content and materials provided as part of the Membership are the sole property of the Company. You are granted only a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use such content for your personal, non-commercial use, as outlined in this Agreement.
2. MEMBERSHIP FEES
The Membership requires a non-refundable recurring fee of $27 per month (the “Membership Fee”), unless otherwise stated at the time of enrollment.
The Membership Fee will be charged automatically on a monthly basis and will continue until the Membership is canceled by the Member or terminated by the Company.
The Company reserves the right to increase the Membership Fee upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Founding Members who enroll at a designated founding rate may retain that rate for the lifetime of their active Membership, provided they do not cancel.

If payment of the Membership Fee fails, the Company may suspend or revoke access to the Membership Program. If payment is not successfully processed after two (2) attempts, access may be terminated without notice.
The Company reserves the right to pursue all lawful means of collection for unpaid amounts, including recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees or collection costs.
