Terms of Membership

Effective October 27, 2026. Version 1.0.

Members who signed up under a prior version of this page continue to receive the benefits published at the time they joined, even if this page is later updated.

[TODO: legal review — confirm the exact wording of the version-honoring statement above, and whether any tier (particularly Anchor Sponsor) needs a signed agreement rather than this published page. Do not draft further legal language without counsel.]
