Terms & Conditions
Foundxrs Club Membership Terms & Conditions
Effective August 2026
These Membership Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern membership of Foundxrs Club (“Foundxrs Club”, “the Club”, “we”, “us” or “our”). They should be read together with the Foundxrs Club Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy. By applying for, accepting, renewing or continuing Membership, you agree to be bound by these Terms and the Code of Conduct.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
1. Membership and Subscription Fees
Membership is subject to the applicable eligibility and selection criteria of the Club and is not guaranteed by submission of an application or payment enquiry.
Subscription fees are payable in advance on an annual basis or in accordance with any alternative payment plan expressly agreed with you at the time of joining or renewal. All fees are stated in pounds sterling and are exclusive of VAT unless expressly stated otherwise.
Your Membership term begins on the date confirmed by the Club and continues for the period stated in your Membership confirmation or renewal notice.
2. Payment Methods and Payment Information
We accept payment by the methods made available by the Club, which may include credit card, debit card and bank transfer. You are responsible for providing accurate billing information and keeping your payment details up to date.
Where a payment is made through a third-party payment provider, that provider may process your payment information in accordance with its own terms and privacy practices. The Club does not intentionally store full card details on its own servers.
3. Automatic Renewal and Renewal Notices
Unless you or the Club give notice that Membership will not renew, annual Membership will automatically renew at the end of the current Membership term at the rate notified for the renewal.
Members will be provided with advance notice of their upcoming Membership renewal. If you do not wish to renew, you must notify Foundxrs Club in writing within the cancellation notice period specified in your renewal communication.
Where you do not provide notice within the specified cancellation period and subsequently request cancellation after the applicable deadline, the Club reserves the right to apply a late cancellation charge of up to 10% of the applicable annual Membership fee, to reflect reasonable administrative costs, payment processing costs and other direct losses incurred by the Club as a result of the late cancellation. Any charge applied will not exceed the Club's reasonable costs and direct losses arising from the late cancellation.
Where applicable consumer law gives you additional cancellation or renewal rights, those rights will apply.
4. Cooling-Off and Statutory Cancellation Rights
Your Membership will ordinarily commence once your payment has cleared and your Membership has been activated by Foundxrs Club. Where Foundxrs Club has agreed a future Membership commencement date with you, your Membership term will commence on that agreed date.
If you enter into your Membership contract as a consumer and have a statutory right to cancel, you may cancel within the applicable statutory cooling-off period, which will ordinarily be 14 days from the date the Membership contract is entered into.
The existence of a statutory cooling-off period does not delay the commencement or activation of your Membership. You may therefore have access to Membership benefits during the cooling-off period where your Membership has commenced.
To exercise a statutory cancellation right, please email hi@foundxrsclub.com with a clear statement that you wish to cancel.
Where you validly exercise a statutory right to cancel, any refund and any amount that Foundxrs Club is legally entitled to retain or charge in respect of services already provided will be determined in accordance with applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.
5. Member-Initiated Cancellation After Any Cooling-Off Period
After any applicable statutory cooling-off period has expired, Membership fees paid for the current Membership term are non-refundable if you choose to cancel your Membership, except where required by law or expressly agreed otherwise by Foundxrs Club.
You may notify the Club at any time that you do not wish your Membership to renew. Subject to the renewal and cancellation provisions in these Terms, your Membership will continue until the end of your current paid Membership term and you will continue to have access to the applicable Membership benefits until that date.
Where Foundxrs Club agrees, at its discretion, to an early termination or refund outside a statutory right, the terms of that arrangement will be confirmed by the Club.
6. Price Changes
We may change Membership fees for a future renewal term. Any price change affecting your next renewal will be communicated to you at least 30 days before it takes effect.
If you do not wish to renew at the new price, you may prevent renewal by notifying us at hi@foundxrsclub.com before the renewal date.
7. Failed or Overdue Payments
If a payment fails or becomes overdue, we may attempt to collect it again and may contact you to resolve the issue. If an undisputed amount remains unpaid for 7 days after it is due, we may suspend Membership benefits until payment is received.
We may terminate Membership for persistent or material non-payment after giving reasonable notice, subject to applicable law. Access suspended solely for non-payment will ordinarily be reinstated once the outstanding undisputed amount is paid.
8. Taxes
Membership fees and other charges are exclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes unless expressly stated otherwise. Applicable taxes will be added where required by law.
9. Equality, Inclusion and Reasonable Adjustments
The Club will administer applications, Membership, access to benefits, facilities, services, events and activities, and Membership decisions in accordance with applicable equality law. The Club will not unlawfully discriminate against, harass or victimise applicants, Members, associates, guests or former Members in circumstances protected by law.
The Club will consider and make reasonable adjustments for disabled people where required by applicable law. Members and applicants are encouraged to tell the Club about adjustments they require so that appropriate reasonable steps can be considered.
Nothing in these Terms prevents the Club from applying lawful Membership criteria or taking proportionate action for legitimate reasons unrelated to a protected characteristic or protected act.
10. Member Responsibilities and Code of Conduct
You must comply with the Foundxrs Club Code of Conduct and conduct yourself consistently with the values, standards and legitimate interests of the Club.
These obligations apply at Club events, through Club communication channels and to Membership-related interactions. Conduct outside an official Club event may fall within these Terms where there is a sufficient connection to the Club, its Members or relationships formed through the Club.
A breach of the Code of Conduct may constitute a breach of these Terms.
11. Complaints, Conduct Concerns and Investigations
The Club may assess and investigate complaints, concerns or information relating to Member conduct where the matter falls, or may reasonably fall, within these Terms or the Code of Conduct.
The Member concerned will ordinarily be informed of the substance of the concern and given a reasonable opportunity to respond before a final adverse Membership decision is made. The Club may take immediate interim protective action where reasonably necessary.
Where required by law, the Club will consider reasonable adjustments so that a disabled person is not placed at a substantial disadvantage in participating in the process.
Reports and investigations will be handled sensitively and, where reasonably possible, confidentially. Information may be shared where reasonably necessary to assess or investigate a matter, allow a response, obtain professional advice, comply with legal obligations, protect an individual or reach and implement an informed decision.
Retaliation, intimidation, victimisation or adverse treatment because a person has raised or supported a genuine concern, exercised rights under equality law, provided information or participated in an investigation is prohibited.
12. Interim Suspension and Restrictions
While a conduct matter is being assessed or investigated, the Club may temporarily restrict access to events, communications or other Membership benefits, or suspend some or all Membership privileges, where it reasonably considers this necessary to protect Members or others, preserve the integrity of an enquiry or protect the Club's legitimate interests.
An interim measure is neutral and does not of itself mean that an allegation has been upheld.
13. Company-Initiated Suspension or Termination
The Club may, acting reasonably and in good faith, suspend, restrict or terminate Membership where it determines on the balance of probabilities that these Terms or the Code of Conduct have been breached, or where serious conduct makes continued Membership reasonably inappropriate.
Depending on the circumstances, action may include guidance, a verbal or written warning, conditions on continued Membership, restriction or exclusion from particular benefits, events or activities, temporary suspension or termination. These measures do not have to be applied sequentially.
In exercising these powers, the Club will comply with applicable equality law and will not unlawfully discriminate against, harass or victimise a Member.
Where Membership is terminated for breach of these Terms, breach of the Code of Conduct or serious misconduct, fees already paid will ordinarily not be refunded except where required by law. Any sums properly accrued and due before termination remain payable.
14. Review of a Final Suspension or Termination Decision
Where a final conduct decision results in suspension or termination of Membership, you may request a review in accordance with the procedure and 14-day time limit set out in the Code of Conduct.
15. Former Members
The Club will comply with any obligations under applicable equality law that continue after Membership or another relevant relationship has ended, including where treatment arises out of and is closely connected to that former relationship.
16. Events, Rescheduling and Cancellation by the Club
The Club may make reasonable changes to event dates, times, venues, speakers, format or content where circumstances require. We will notify affected attendees where reasonably practicable.
If an event is rescheduled, an existing RSVP may be transferred to the replacement date unless you cancel it.
If an event is cancelled by the Club, no Member cancellation fee will apply. Where a separate event fee has been charged, any refund or credit will be dealt with in accordance with the specific booking terms and applicable law.
17. Events Outside the Club's Reasonable Control
The Club will not be responsible for delay, cancellation or material change caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control, which may include severe weather, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, government action, transport disruption, industrial action, civil unrest, terrorism, venue closure, serious illness or unavailability of a speaker, or failure of essential technology or infrastructure.
Where such circumstances arise, the Club will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption and will communicate material changes where reasonably practicable. Nothing in this clause excludes rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
18. Event Cancellation and No-Show Charges
Unless a particular event states a different cancellation period or charge when you book, you should cancel an RSVP at least 72 hours before the event if you can no longer attend.
Where you cancel within 72 hours or fail to attend, the Club may charge £50 plus VAT, or another amount clearly notified before booking for that particular event, where the charge is a reasonable reflection of the costs or losses associated with the late cancellation or no-show.
If you believe a charge has been applied incorrectly or there are exceptional circumstances, you may request a review by emailing hi@foundxrsclub.com within 5 Business Days of receiving the invoice.
An undisputed overdue event charge may result in temporary restriction of Membership benefits until it is settled.
19. Promotions, Discounts and Trials
Promotional offers, discounts and trial arrangements may be subject to additional terms made clear at the time of the offer. Unless stated otherwise, promotions are personal, non-transferable and cannot be combined.
Any price that will apply after a promotional or trial period, and any automatic renewal arrangement, will be communicated as required by applicable law.
20. Member-to-Member Business Dealings
Members enter into commercial, investment or other arrangements with one another independently. Unless the Club expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Foundxrs Club is not a party to, does not endorse or guarantee, and is not responsible for the performance of Member-to-Member arrangements.
Members are responsible for carrying out their own due diligence and obtaining professional advice where appropriate.
21. Payment Disputes and Chargebacks
If you believe a payment or invoice is incorrect, please contact hi@foundxrsclub.com as soon as reasonably practicable so that we can investigate.
Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising any lawful right to dispute a payment or use a chargeback process. Where a payment is reversed or disputed and the underlying amount remains properly due, the Club may seek payment of that amount and any reasonable, properly incurred costs recoverable by law.
22. Privacy and Payment Security
Personal information will be handled in accordance with the Foundxrs Club Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.
Payment transactions may be processed by third-party payment providers using their security systems. Please refer to the Privacy Policy for further information about how personal information is handled.
23. Changes to these Terms and the Code of Conduct
We may amend these Terms and the Code of Conduct from time to time where reasonably necessary to reflect changes in law, best practice, Membership arrangements, services or the operational needs of the Club.
Material changes will be communicated to Members before they take effect. Where a material change substantially disadvantages you during an existing paid term, any rights available under applicable law will remain unaffected.
Continued Membership after the effective date of a notified amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, subject to applicable law.
24. Contractual Relationship
These Terms create a contractual relationship between the Club and the Member. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary or agency relationship between the Club and a Member, and neither party may bind the other unless expressly authorised in writing.
25. Complaints and Dispute Resolution
If you have a complaint about the Club, please contact hi@foundxrsclub.com and we will seek to resolve it fairly and promptly.
A complaint about another Member's conduct will be dealt with under the Code of Conduct rather than this contractual dispute clause.
If a contractual dispute with the Club cannot be resolved directly, the parties may agree to attempt mediation before court proceedings. Mediation is not mandatory unless both parties agree to it after the dispute has arisen.
Nothing in this section restricts either party's right to seek urgent relief or exercise rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
26. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Subject to any mandatory rights you may have under applicable consumer law, the courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms.
