20. MEMBERSHIP
Shore Scripts have set up a membership program hosted on their sub-domain https://membership.shorescripts.com/ and ran through the Kajabi platform. New members pay either Monthly, 6 Monthly or Annual fees to access the platform and its benefits. This subscription is on a rolling basis and will be renewed every Month, 6 Months, or Annually, dependent on the membership plan they took out when they originally signed up.
If a member is antagonistic to our staff or deviates from the terms laid out in our community forum, then Shore Scripts reserves the right to cancel that member’s account, and they will forfeit any rights to a refund.
If, for whatever reason, Shore Scripts wishes to cancel the membership program in its entirety, they can do so at any point without the need to give prior written or verbal warning to their members. In the unlikely scenario that this happens, all members will be reimbursed the amount of money left on their membership, corresponding to the number of days they have remaining. For example, if a member signs up for the annual subscription, and the membership closes its doors after 6 months, then that member will receive 50% of their subscription back.
