BEFORE YOU JOIN
Elite Access Membership Agreement
This Agreement covers your Elite Access membership dues, billing, term, and cancellation rights.
Effective Date: This Agreement takes effect as of the date of your electronic signature below.
This Membership Agreement ("Agreement") is between Purrfect Catio, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company doing business as "40to60s Friends of Charlotte" ("we," "us," or "the Club"), and the individual identified in the signature block below ("you" or "the Member"). By signing below or completing checkout for Elite Access, you agree to the terms of this Agreement.
You are enrolling in "Elite Access," the Club's membership plan, under the billing option you select at signup — monthly or annual, as described in Section 1. The Membership Fee is a fee for ongoing membership access and its associated benefits described in Section 2 — it is not a payment for any single event, and it does not guarantee your attendance at, or the occurrence of, any specific event.
1. Membership Plan and Fee
Elite Access is available under two billing options. You choose one at signup:
-
Monthly: $7.99 per month (the "Monthly Fee"), billed monthly in advance to the payment method you provide at signup through our payment processor, Wix Payments.
-
Annual: $92.52 per year (the "Annual Fee"), billed annually in advance to the payment method you provide at signup through our payment processor, Wix Payments.
References to the "Membership Fee" elsewhere in this Agreement mean whichever of the above applies to your plan. You may hold only one Elite Access plan at a time.
2. What Elite Access Includes
As an Elite Access member in good standing, you are eligible for:
-
An invitation for entry to one flagship parties the Club holds each year;
-
Access to meetups hosted by the Club's designated VIP hosts;
-
A listing in the Club's private member directory;
-
Access to the Club's private member community feed.
Specific event dates, venues, capacity, and formats are announced separately and may change. Elite Access makes you eligible for these benefits; it does not guarantee a seat at any particular event, a specific date, or any outcome from your participation (see Section 10).
3. Term and Automatic Renewal
3.1 Monthly Plan. If you're enrolled in the monthly plan, each billing cycle is a one (1) month term. This Agreement automatically renews for successive one (1) month terms on the same day-of-month as your original signup date, and your payment method will be charged the then-current Monthly Fee at the start of each renewal term, unless you cancel before the renewal date as described in Section 5.2. Because each term is 30 days or fewer, no additional advance renewal notice is required before charging you.
3.2 Annual Plan. If you're enrolled in the annual plan, each billing cycle is a one (1) year term. This Agreement automatically renews for successive one (1) year terms on the same date each year as your original signup, and your payment method will be charged the then-current Annual Fee at the start of each renewal term, unless you turn off automatic renewal before the renewal date as described in Section 5.3. Because this term exceeds 60 days, North Carolina law (N.C.G.S. § 75-41) requires us to send a written notice of the upcoming renewal charge and how to cancel, no earlier than 45 days and no later than 15 days before your renewal date. We will send this notice by email to the address on file.
This automatic-renewal arrangement is disclosed here clearly and conspicuously, as required by North Carolina law (N.C.G.S. § 75-41), for both plans.
4. Price Changes
We may change the Membership Fee for future terms by giving you at least 30 days’ written notice (by email to the address on file) before the change takes effect. For the annual plan, any new fee applies only from your next renewal, and the notice will reach you before that renewal. If you continue your membership past the effective date in that notice, you accept the new fee for subsequent terms. You may cancel at no charge any time before the change takes effect.
5. Your Right to Cancel
5.1 Three-Day Right to Cancel (applies to your initial enrollment). As required by North Carolina's Prepaid Entertainment Contracts Act, you may cancel this Agreement for any reason until midnight of the third business day after the date you sign it, with no charge and a full refund of anything already paid. This applies whether you signed up for the monthly or annual plan. To cancel, follow the instructions in the "Your Right to Cancel" notice and Section 14.
5.2 Cancellation After the Initial Period (Monthly Plan). After the initial three-business-day period, you may cancel your monthly plan at any time, effective at the end of your then-current paid month, by emailing 40to60s@gmail.com or through your account settings on 40to60s.com. Canceling stops future renewals; it does not by itself entitle you to a refund of the current month's fee except as described in Section 6.
5.3 Cancellation After the Initial Period (Annual Plan). After the initial three-business-day period, you may turn off automatic renewal for your annual plan at any time by emailing 40to60s@gmail.com or through your account settings on 40to60s.com. To avoid the next annual charge, do so before the renewal date. Your membership continues until the end of the year you have paid for. Canceling stops future renewals; it does not by itself entitle you to a refund of the unused part of the current year except as described in Section 6.
6. Refunds
6.1 Hardship refund. If you're unable to use your membership because of death, disability, or a permanent move to a location more than 30 miles from the Club's service area, we will refund at least 90% of the pro-rated cost of your unused membership within 30 days of your (or your representative's) request.
6.2 General refund right. Once the total Membership Fees you've paid us over the life of your membership exceed $1,500, you have the right to a pro-rata refund of unused membership on cancellation, less a cancellation fee of up to the lesser of 25% of the unused amount or $500.
6.3 How to request a refund. Email 40to60s@gmail.com. We will process any refund owed under this Section within 30 days of your request.
7. Your Personal Information
On written request, we will provide or return to you any personal or private information we hold about you — including photos, profile answers, and evaluations — within 30 days. Our full Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and how we handle it more generally.
8. Code of Conduct
Your membership and event attendance are subject to the Club's Code of Conduct, which you agree to follow. We may suspend or remove members who violate it, using the process described there. Removal for a Code of Conduct violation doesn't waive whatever refund rights you already have under Section 6 for fees you've already paid, except for any cancellation fee we're entitled to retain under Section 6.2.
9. Events Are Separate: Some Events May Require a Waiver
Elite Access membership is separate from the risks of attending in-person events. Certain events may require a separate waiver, which you will be asked to agree to for that event. Membership makes you eligible to attend; it does not waive the risks of any event, and it is not conditioned on signing an event waiver.
10. No Guarantee of Outcomes
The Club provides a platform, events, and a community for adults to meet and socialize. We don't guarantee that you'll form any particular friendship, relationship, business connection, or other outcome from your participation.
11. Electronic Signature
By checking the box or submitting your signature electronically, you consent to enter into this Agreement electronically under North Carolina's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. You may request a paper copy of this Agreement at any time by emailing 40to60s@gmail.com.
12. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement is governed by North Carolina law. Any dispute arising from it will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
13. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability
This Agreement, together with the Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy it references, is the entire agreement between you and the Club regarding Elite Access membership. We may update this Agreement going forward by posting a revised version at 40to60s.com and, for fee changes, giving the notice described in Section 4; for other material changes, we'll give you reasonable advance notice. If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
14. Notices
Written notices to the Club under this Agreement — including cancellation notices — should be sent to:
Purrfect Catio, LLC d/b/a 40to60s Friends of Charlotte 14118 Misty Brook Lane, Charlotte, NC 28273 40to60s@gmail.com
Notices to the Club, including cancellation notices under Section 5, may be sent by mail to the address above or by email to 40to60s@gmail.com. An email counts as written notice.
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
You, the buyer, may cancel this contract at any time before midnight of the third business day after the date you sign it. To cancel, notify the seller in writing, not later than midnight of that third business day, by mail or by email at the address stated in Section 14 above. Your confirmation email shows the date you signed, so you can count three business days from that date.
