3. PAYMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, AND REFUNDS

3.1 Fees. Pricing for our Services can be found on our website, or will be presented to you at the time of sign up. Prices for Services are subject to change at any time without notice. Even if the service pricing, like core membership, is effectively free, you will have been considered to have subscribed to our club services as a member.

3.2 Payment and Billing Information. To the extent the Services or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment method and provide MOFMOF or its third party payment processor with information regarding such payment method, such as your credit card ("Payment Method"). If you provide information regarding your Payment Method, you authorize us and our third party payment processors to store your Payment Method and other related information, to automatically charge your Payment Method for all amounts due under this Agreement. You represent and warrant to MOFMOF that such information is accurate and that you are authorized to use the Payment Method. You will promptly update your payment information with any changes needed to make such information accurate (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date, or a new Payment Method due to cancellation or compromise of the previous Payment Method used). You agree to pay MOFMOF the applicable fees for the Service you select (as well as any applicable taxes), and in the event that MOFMOF is unable to charge any amounts due to your Payment Method on file, then you agree to promptly provide a replacement Payment Method or directly pay MOFMOF for all amounts due upon demand from MOFMOF. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.K. taxes owed by MOFMOF based on MOFMOF's net income.

3.3 Recurring Payments. You acknowledge that the Services may require you to enroll in a recurring payment feature before you can participate in the Services. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO SUCH RECURRING PAYMENTS AND THAT WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY) TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU AND WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE (EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW), UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE, AS SET FORTH BELOW, THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, EMAIL YOUR MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges.

3.4 Failure to Pay. If you are not current on your payments for MOFMOF's Services, MOFMOF may, in addition to other remedies, restrict your access to our Services until your account becomes current and paid in full. MOFMOF reserves the right to pursue fees owed using collection methods which may include charging other payment methods on file with MOFMOF, and/or retaining collection agencies or legal counsel. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses.

3.5 Custom Payment Plans. MOFMOF reserves the right to offer custom plans and pricing in addition to what is listed on our website. Custom plans may include billing, payment, and/or renewal terms that are different from our standard terms and will apply where we specifically indicate that such terms will replace any of the terms herein.

3.6 Equity. Unless it's explicitly agreed to by the relevant Participant and MOFMOF, and stated in writing through a formal document, MOFMOF: (a) does not hold equity in any company that is associated with a Member or may be formed as a result of an MOFMOF event; and, (b) is not responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of any Member or any company associated with a Member or formed as a result of a Member's use of the Services. To be clear, mere Membership of the MOFMOF club and involvement in any event, program or platform without such written agreement does not entitle MOFMOF to any ownership or equity in companies that Members form as a result of the being in the MOFMOF club (i.e. we are not some accelerator or incubator type club).

3.7 Refunds; General. MOFMOF does not issue refunds or credits except as explicitly stated in these Terms and Conditions or as may be agreed to by MOFMOFin its sole discretion. Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms and Conditions, Members on payment plans or who pay one-time fees are entitled to a full no-questions-asked refund when the refund request is made in writing: (a) less than thirty (30) days after the initial payment was made; and also, (b) more than one (1) week prior to the start of the relevant MOFMOF service.

3.8 Refunds; Exclusions. MOFMOF reserves the right to refuse refunds to Members who abuse our refund policy. Examples of abuse include, but are not limited to, requesting refunds for multiple MOFMOF services or requesting refunds in consecutive months. MOFMOF has no obligation to provide refunds to users that violate our Terms and Conditions, Code of Conduct, or other MOFMOF policies, even when refund requests are made within the designated refund period.

3.9 Credits. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a discount or other consideration ("Credits") to some or all of our Members. The amount and form of such Credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of Credits in one instance does not entitle you to Credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide Credits in the future, under any circumstance.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MOFMOF and the other MOFMOF Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if MOFMOF or the other MOFMOF Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The total liability of MOFMOF and the other MOFMOF Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount paid by you to use our Services in the 12 months preceding the incident that gave rise to the claim.

The limitations set forth in this Section 11 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of MOFMOF or the other MOFMOF Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release MOFMOF and the other MOFMOF Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to any disputes between you and any third party or any harm resulting from the acts or omissions of third parties.

‍

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with MOFMOF and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

No Representative Actions. You and MOFMOF agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions or our Services is personal to you and MOFMOF and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or MOFMOF seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or MOFMOF seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and MOFMOF waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against MOFMOF or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact MOFMOF and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to us by web email. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and MOFMOF cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in New York County, New York or may be conducted telephonically or via video conference, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and MOFMOF agree that these Terms and Conditions affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 13 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and Conditions and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

The arbitrator, MOFMOF, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and MOFMOF agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and MOFMOF will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by MOFMOF, MOFMOF will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and MOFMOF agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in New York County, NY have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and MOFMOF will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 13 by emailing us via our contact page. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 14.

If any portion of this Section 13 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms and Conditions; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 13 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 13; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 13 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 13 will be enforceable.

‍

14. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

Any dispute arising from these Terms and Conditions and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Disputes arising from these Terms and Conditions will specifically not be governed by the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for The International Sale of Goods, if otherwise applicable. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the courts of the United Kingdom.

‍

15. TRANSFER AND PROCESSING OF DATA

In order for us to provide our Services, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United Kingdom, United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law.

‍

16. IN-PERSON EVENTS

As part of the Services, we may offer MOFMOF Members the opportunity to attend in-person events. In addition to the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions or separate terms that you may agree to with MOFMOF for an event, the terms in this Section 16 apply to your attendance at MOFMOF in-person events.

16.1 Registration. You agree to abide by any and all rules governing access to an MOFMOF event, including payment, guest list, registration, and RSVP limitations and requirements. MOFMOF may change such requirements at any time.

16.2 Event Spaces. You agree to respect all property and spaces in which an MOFMOF event is held and refrain from taking any actions that may cause damage to such property or spaces. If you do take actions that cause damage to such property or spaces, you will be liable for all relevant costs and expenses. MOFMOF is not responsible or liable for anything that happens in the spaces that are not owned or operated by MOFMOF. However, if brought to our attention, we reserve the right to further investigate and take disciplinary action against a Member for violations of these Terms and Conditions in non-MOFMOF spaces.

16.3 Code of Conduct. MOFMOF strictly enforces the MOFMOF Code of Conduct at all events. You agree that you will adhere to the Code of Conduct at all in-person events and ensure that your invitees do so as well. MOFMOF reserves the right to refuse entry to any event and to remove anyone from any event.

16.4 No Smoking or Illegal Substances. Smoking and any illegal substances are prohibited at all events held by MOFMOF, including e-cigarettes & vapor products. A valid photo ID may be required for admittance to events at which alcohol is served.

17. MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 Survival. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, Sections 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17 survive any expiration or termination of these terms.

17.2 Severability. If it turns out that any part of these Terms and Conditions are invalid, void, or unenforceable, that term will be deemed severable and limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and shall not affect any other terms or negate the validity of the rest of this agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

17.3 Entire Agreement. These terms, any and all language directly linked to within these terms, and any official MOFMOF policies and waivers (e.g. the Code of Conduct), constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and MOFMOF relating to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions, and these Terms and Conditions supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications or proposals relating to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions. The section titles in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms and Conditions are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

17.4 Assignment. You cannot assign, transfer or sublicense these Terms and Conditions, or your acceptance into a MOFMOF membership, or any Services, without first obtaining our consent. We may assign, transfer, or delegate any of our rights and obligations without consent. You hereby acknowledge and agree that these Terms and Conditions do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and MOFMOF, and neither party has any authority to bind the other in any respect.

17.5 Waiver. If we do not enforce any part of these Terms and Conditions, it shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder, and does not mean we give up the right to later enforce that part or any other part.
