23. Membership Terms & Conditions
Commitment
All 10th House Memberships are offered as Lifetime or Annual plans, with the option to pay Annual memberships in monthly installments.
Annual plans, whether paid annually or in monthly installments, represent a recurring annual commitment. By enrolling, members authorize automatic renewal annually on the purchase date unless the membership is canceled within the notice period outlined below.
Members who want to complete their term may contact our team for options to remain connected to the community.
Opting Out of Renewal
To cancel your membership before renewal, you must submit your request through the Chargebee Portal at least fifteen (15) days prior to your scheduled renewal date.
Memberships not cancelled within this timeframe will automatically renew under the same plan and payment terms.
24. Membership Benefits & Program Changes
Membership benefits, programming, events, advisory access, educational materials, digital resources, community features, partner benefits, discounts, and platform functionality may change from time to time.
Female Founder Collective (“FFC”) reserves the right to modify, replace, discontinue, enhance, or update any membership benefit, offering, feature, event, program, or service at its sole discretion.
While FFC strives to provide advance notice of material changes whenever reasonably possible, FFC is not obligated to maintain any specific benefit, feature, speaker, advisor, event, resource, platform, or offering for any particular period of time.
Changes to membership benefits or programming do not constitute grounds for cancellation, refund, credit, or reimbursement.
25. Accelerator Enrollment and Refund Policy
The Founder Operating Manual Accelerator (the “Accelerator”) is a paid, time-bound program that may be purchased separately or included as part of a 10th House Membership.
Enrollment and Access
Enrollment in the Accelerator is confirmed upon successful payment. Access details, course materials, and cohort information will be provided via email prior to the official program start date.
Refunds and Cancellations
Because enrollment secures a seat in a limited-capacity cohort, all Accelerator purchases are final and non-refundable.
No refunds, credits, or partial reimbursements will be issued for missed sessions, non-participation, or early withdrawal from the program.
26. 10th House Membership Refunds & Cancellations
A. Membership Refunds & Cancellations*
A five (5) day grace period is provided following your purchase date, during which you may request a full refund. This period is intended to allow you time to explore the community and determine long-term fit.
Outside of this five (5) day post-purchase grace period, all membership and Accelerator purchases are final and non-refundable. No refunds, credits, or partial reimbursements will be issued for missed sessions, non-participation, or early withdrawal.
B. Scale Membership Benefits*
The Scale Membership plan includes one (1) complimentary advisory session annually with The North Advisors. It is the responsibility of the member to schedule and attend the complimentary advisory session during the active membership term. The North Advisors is not responsible for reminding members to schedule or use their complimentary session. The complimentary session has no cash value, must be used during the active membership term, and does not roll over upon renewal, cancellation, or expiration of membership.
*If a member does not respond to FFC’s follow-up regarding a cancellation request within three (3) business days, the request will not be processed, and the membership will remain active under the existing membership terms.
27. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
By enrolling in the membership community, you agree not to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for any fees outside of the stated grace period.
In the event of a chargeback or payment dispute, FFC reserves the right to immediately suspend or revoke access to all programs and services.
FFC also reserves the right to pursue recovery of any outstanding balances and to provide this agreement, along with proof of access and participation, to the payment provider as evidence.
28. Digital Products
From time to time, Female Founder Collective ("FFC") may offer standalone digital products, including but not limited to playbooks, guides, templates, toolkits, courses, workshops, recordings, resource libraries, and other downloadable or digital educational materials (collectively, the "Digital Products").
Access to a Digital Product is granted upon successful payment and delivery of the product.
Due to the immediate delivery and accessibility of digital content, all Digital Product purchases are final and non-refundable. No refunds, credits, exchanges, or partial reimbursements will be provided under any circumstances, including but not limited to failure to download, access, complete, or utilize the Digital Product.
Digital Products are licensed for individual use only and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, shared, resold, or otherwise made available to third parties without prior written consent from FFC.
Digital Products are sold separately from membership unless otherwise stated and are subject to these Terms and Conditions.
29. Outstanding Balances, Cancellation, and Re-Enrollment
For purposes of this Section, an “Outstanding Balance” includes any past-due amounts, unpaid membership fees, unpaid installment payments, and any remaining payments owed under a membership or program term to which the member committed, whether or not all such installments have become due as of the date the member requests cancellation.
A. Outstanding Payment Obligations Survive Cancellation
Cancellation, termination, suspension, or expiration of a membership does not relieve a member of any payment obligations owed under the membership term to which the member agreed, including any unpaid membership fees, installment payments, remaining payments due for the committed membership term, or other amounts properly due under these Terms.
If a member cancels before the end of a committed membership term, any remaining payments for that term remain due and payable in accordance with the agreed payment schedule.
Any outstanding balance remains due and payable even if the member cancels, terminates, suspends, or otherwise loses access to the Services. If a member needs assistance with accessing Circle, they may contact our team at the10thhouse@femalefoundercollective.com.
B. Re-Enrollment Requires Settlement of Outstanding Dues
A member who cancels, terminates, or allows their membership to expire with an outstanding balance will not be eligible to rejoin or enroll in The 10th House or any other paid FFC membership or program until all outstanding dues and payment obligations have been fully satisfied.
FFC reserves the right to deny, suspend, or cancel any new enrollment or re-enrollment request from a current or former member who has an outstanding balance with FFC or its affiliated programs.
Cancellation of a membership does not eliminate, forgive, or otherwise satisfy any outstanding dues. Members may not avoid an outstanding balance by canceling their membership and subsequently attempting to rejoin under a new membership, plan, account, email address, or payment method.
C. Payment Required Before Re-Enrollment
As a condition of re-enrollment, all outstanding balances must be paid in full before a new membership or program enrollment will be approved or access activated, unless FFC has expressly agreed in writing to an alternative payment arrangement.
FFC may, at its discretion, approve a written payment arrangement. Any such arrangement must be approved by FFC in writing and does not waive or reduce the underlying balance unless the written agreement expressly states otherwise.
Payment of an outstanding balance does not guarantee re-enrollment. Any subsequent membership or program enrollment remains subject to FFC’s membership requirements, availability, pricing, eligibility requirements, and approval.
D. No Waiver Through Cancellation or Non-Use
A member’s decision to stop using the services, cease participating in the community, fail to attend events or programming, or otherwise discontinue participation does not cancel or reduce amounts that are otherwise owed under these Terms, including amounts owed for a committed membership term.
Similarly, FFC’s decision to suspend or terminate access does not waive FFC’s right to collect any outstanding amounts owed by the member.
E. Collection and Enforcement
If an amount remains unpaid after it becomes due, FFC may pursue any remedies available to it under these Terms and applicable law, including referring the account for collection or pursuing legal action to recover amounts properly owed.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, FFC may seek recovery of reasonable costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or collecting amounts due under these Terms, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court or collection costs where legally recoverable.
F. Reinstatement Is Not Automatic
Payment of an outstanding balance does not automatically guarantee reinstatement or re-enrollment. FFC reserves the right to decline a request for reinstatement or re-enrollment where permitted by applicable law, including where a member previously failed to satisfy payment obligations or materially violated these Terms.
G. Payment Disputes Do Not Automatically Eliminate the Balance
Submitting a payment dispute, chargeback, or similar claim does not, by itself, cancel or eliminate any valid payment obligation under these Terms. FFC reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law in connection with disputed or unpaid amounts.
Nothing in this Section limits a member’s rights under applicable law, including any rights that cannot lawfully be waived or restricted by contract.
30. Membership Access & Community Conduct
FFC reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership access, without refund, if a member:
- Violates community guidelines
- Harasses members, staff, or partners
- Shares confidential member information
- Engages in fraudulent, abusive, or disruptive behavior
- Shares paid resources or account access with others
