Membership Terms of Service
These Membership Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your membership in Founders Fairway, operated by Founders Fairway LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Club,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By enrolling and submitting payment, you (the “Member” or “you”) confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not enroll.
1. Membership & Eligibility
Founders Fairway is a private membership community for founders and business owners, providing access to peer connection, group meetings, and Club-organized events and gatherings. Membership is personal to you, is non-transferable except with our prior written consent, and confers no ownership interest in the Club. Membership is offered at our sole discretion and is contingent on you meeting our fit criteria; we may accept or decline any applicant for any lawful reason.
2. Membership Term & Automatic Renewal
Your membership begins on the date payment is submitted (the “Effective Date”) and continues for an initial term of twelve (12) months (the “Term”).
3. Cancellation
To cancel your membership and stop future automatic renewals, you must email hello@foundersfairway.com within ten (10) business days of your billing date. Cancellation requests received within this window will stop your next renewal charge. Cancellation does not entitle you to any refund of dues already paid (see Section 5), and you will retain your membership access through the end of your then-current paid Term.
4. Dues, Payment & Activities
Your annual membership dues are the amount presented to and agreed by you at the time of enrollment, payable in full at the start of each Term. Dues are processed through our payment processor, Stripe. By enrolling, you authorize the Club to charge your designated payment method for dues at enrollment and upon each automatic renewal. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current; if a charge is declined, we may suspend or terminate your access until payment is received.
5. Refund Policy
All dues and other payments are final and non-refundable. Once payment is submitted, no refunds, credits, or pro-rated amounts will be issued for any reason, including non-use of benefits, voluntary cancellation, or removal for violation of these Terms. You acknowledge and accept this no-refund policy as a material condition of membership.
6. Photography, Recording & Likeness
Club events, meetups, golf outings, mastermind sessions, and retreats may be photographed, filmed, streamed, or otherwise recorded. By attending any Club event or gathering, you acknowledge and agree that you may be captured on camera — in photo, video, and audio — at any time.
You grant the Club a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, reproduce, publish, display, and distribute your name, image, likeness, voice, and any statements you make, in any and all media now known or later developed, for any purpose the Club desires, including marketing, advertising, promotion, and social media, without further notice, approval, or compensation to you. If you do not wish to be recorded, it is your responsibility to remove yourself from the frame; the Club is under no obligation to exclude you.
7. Member Conduct & Removal
You agree to conduct yourself professionally and respectfully toward other members, guests, staff, and venues; to contribute to the community in good faith; and to comply with the rules of any venue or event. You will not use the Club, its members, or its communications for unsolicited solicitation, spam, harassment, or unlawful activity. We may suspend or terminate your membership, without refund, for conduct we reasonably determine to be harmful to the community or in violation of these Terms.
8. Assumption of Risk & Release
You understand that Club activities may include golf, travel, social gatherings, and other in-person activities that carry inherent risks of property damage, bodily injury, or illness. You voluntarily participate in all such activities and assume all such risks. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and hold harmless the Club and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, or damages arising out of your participation in any Club activity or event, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9. No Guarantee of Results
The Club provides community, connection, and content. It does not provide legal, financial, tax, or investment advice, and it does not guarantee any particular business, financial, or personal outcome. Any decisions you make based on information or relationships gained through the Club are your sole responsibility.
10. Confidentiality
Discussions, materials, and member information shared within the Club are confidential. You agree not to disclose or misuse another member's confidential or personal information shared in the context of the Club without that member's consent.
11. Intellectual Property
All content, materials, and intellectual property provided by the Club remain the property of the Club and may not be reproduced or redistributed without our permission.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Club's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your membership shall not exceed the amount of dues you paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. The Club shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Club and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misconduct, or your participation in Club activities.
14. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by written notice. Any dispute not resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration administered in Brevard County, Florida, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party waives any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Venue for any permitted court proceeding shall lie in Brevard County, Florida.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms or our membership policies from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to members and will apply upon renewal or continued participation.
17. General
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and the Club regarding your membership and supersede all prior discussions, advertisements, and representations. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms to a successor or affiliate. Submitting payment and/or accepting these Terms electronically constitutes your acceptance and has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
