Effective Date: January 1, 2021

PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION REMEDIES. 

These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) form a binding legal agreement between The Global 51, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“we”, “us”, or “our”) and you regarding your membership in our community (if you are a member), your use of our website and portal (the “Platform”), and your attendance at events we host, organize, sponsor, or otherwise facilitate (“Events”).

These Terms apply to your use of the Platform, including attendance at any Events through the Platform. Please review these Terms carefully. By registering an account through the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Each time you use the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time in our discretion. We will always keep the current version of these Terms posted on this website. By using the Platform after a new version of these Terms have been posted, you agree to the terms and conditions of such version of these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease your use of the Platform. If you have a separate negotiated contract with us, that contract will govern in the event of any conflicts between these Terms and that contract as relates to your use of the Platform.

EVENTS

If you wish to attend a particular Event, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions related to such Event (which may include eligibility criteria, additional fees, or other terms). If you attend an Event hosted by a third party, you agree and acknowledge that we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of such third party and will have no liability for the carrying out of the Event. In-person Events may involve inherent risks, and you are solely responsible for assessing and mitigating such risks.

MEMBERSHIP AND PAYMENTS

To become a member, you will need to meet certain eligibility criteria and pay the applicable membership fees. Memberships are offered on an annual basis and all fees must be paid in advance. We process memberships on a calendar year cycle, and if you join mid-year we will prorate your first calendar year membership fees accordingly. Your membership will automatically renew on a calendar year basis at our then-current pricing, unless you provide timely notice of non-renewal as described below. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact you approximately 60 days ahead of the renewal date, advising you of the upcoming renewal and any change in fees. Unless you provide written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days’ prior to the renewal date, your membership will renew. We will invoice (or, if you have provided payment information, charge) you for the renewal fees on or around your renewal date. Membership fees, including renewal fees, are non-refundable.

We have the right to cancel your membership immediately if you breach these Terms or any community policies or agreements we have in place. For avoidance of doubt, if we terminate your membership for cause, we will not be obligated to refund any prepaid membership fees.

Memberships are personal and non-transferable. You may not share your account or credentials with any other individual or entity.

The Platform may from time to time give you the option to purchase additional features or access (e.g., in connection with a particular Event) at the listed rates. By providing us a payment card or other payment method information, you authorize use to charge you for the designated amounts on a one-time or recurring basis, as selected by you. You acknowledge and agree that we may use one or more third-party payment processors to facilitate payments made through the Platform, and that such payment processors will receive sufficient information regarding you and your payment method as needed to process such payments.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, all payments are non-refundable.

THIRD PARTIES

The Platform may contain links to websites owned or operated by, and marketing materials and content provided by or promoting third parties and their products and services (for which we may be compensated on a non-transaction basis by the applicable third party and therefore we have an incentive to list such content over other content for which we do not receive any compensation).

We may opt to defend such claims at our sole discretion, in which case you will indemnify us for the costs of such defense. California residents hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
