Content Club Membership and Course Terms & Conditions

Content Club Terms and Conditions

What follows is an explanation of the terms and conditions of club membership.  It represents a legally binding agreement between you as a Clubber (member) and me, as the club operator.  I may amend these terms from time to time to ensure they reflect changes in the law but shall not otherwise amend, alter or change them without giving you notice.

You should make sure you are happy and agreeable to these terms as they will apply to all memberships. If you have any queries, please contact me before joining.

Payment Terms The Content Club a membership without minimum term although to see maximum benefits I recommend you remain a Clubber for at least 6 months.

Membership is payable monthly at £23 (or annually for £239).  I will take payments automatically using the same method as your initial payment. To clarify, for the purpose of payment a month will be calculated with reference to your joining date and not per calendar month.

I appreciate that banking arrangements change so should you miss a payment on any given month I will email you to remind you to make the payment for the upcoming month.  If you do not make the payment within 5 days, I will suspend your membership until you make the payment required.  Ultimately, your membership may be cancelled.

If your membership is suspended or cancelled, you will not be eligible to attend presentations or be a part of any exclusive closed social media group.  You will also lose access to The Content Club dashboard and its library of support and content.
Benefits of Membership All the while you are a paid-up Clubber you will be able to access the exclusive content using the online login: https://club.thecontentconsultancy.com/
What you can expect of Membership The exclusive club content will include recordings of past presentations and Guest Expert interviews.  I offer no guarantee to the minimum length of time any recording will be available although I will endeavour to explain any instances, to the extent that I can, should I need to remove any recorded content.

The club content will also include templates and written guidance which I will endeavour to keep as up to date and as relevant as possible. I warrant that all content held in the library shall be free from material defects and shall not infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party.

Each month, the Club will focus on a particular theme.  You can expect to be invited to regular online meetings (such as the monthly Content Clinic), presentations and co-working opportunities relevant to the theme for the month.  These will be recorded if you are unable to attend (see above). I make no guarantees as to the number of presentations / meetings arranged per any calendar month but typically you can expect [#].

Finally, you will be given access to exclusive groups hosted on social media platforms. Currently, I operate a closed Facebook group for Clubbers which is bustling with talk between Clubbers and regular posts and updates. I will endeavour to maintain exclusive / closed groups as best I can although as I am not in control of the hosting, I cannot guarantee availability.  Where you join a group operated by me as part of The Content Club you should satisfy yourself that you are happy with the Privacy and Security settings of the social media platform being used to host the group.
