2. BILLING Membership fees are billed on a quarterly basis. Your card on file will be automatically charged every 3 months on the date corresponding to your original sign-up date, until you cancel. You will receive renewal reminders by email at 30 days and 15 days before each charge.

3. TAXES Applicable sales tax will be added to your membership fee at checkout based on your billing location.

4. OG FOUNDING MEMBER DISCOUNT Founding ("OG") members who sign up using a valid OG payment link receive 45% off their first quarterly charge only. All subsequent quarterly charges will renew at the standard membership rate. The rate change will be clearly disclosed in your renewal reminder emails.

5. MEMBER CARD Upon joining, members will receive a physical Friday Table membership card. This card is required to access partner discounts and member benefits at participating local businesses. Membership cards are non-transferable.

6. CHANGES TO MEMBERSHIP The Friday Table reserves the right to update membership benefits, pricing, and partner offerings from time to time. Members will be notified of material changes via email in advance.

 

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

You may cancel your membership at any time through the cancellation link included in your subscription payment receipt email, or by emailing gather@thefridaytable.org at least 15 business days before your renewal date.

What happens when you cancel:

  • Your membership will not renew for the next billing cycle.

  • You will retain full access to all member dinners, events, and perks for the remainder of your current paid cycle.

  • No refunds or credits will be issued for the unused portion of a billing cycle.

  • Your membership card may be used to access remaining benefits until your access period ends.

Example: If you are billed quarterly on June 1st and cancel on July 15th, you will continue to have full member access through August 31st (the end of your current 3-month cycle). Your membership will then end with no further charges.

 

AUTO-RENEWAL NOTICE

Your Friday Table membership automatically renews every 3 months at the then-current standard rate (unless you used an OG payment link, which applies the OG discount of 45% to your first charge only).

You will receive renewal reminders by email at 30 days and 15 days before each charge, including the renewal date, the amount that will be billed, the card on file, and how to cancel. If your rate is changing upon renewal, that change will be clearly disclosed in the reminder.
