Redistribution, resale, or sharing of Premium content beyond these permitted uses is prohibited.

Annual Membership Model
The Premium Membership is offered as an annual subscription to reflect the depth of our resources and the ongoing nature of the Community. Since launching in Fall 2023, we’ve consistently added new materials and community features, often on a weekly basis. The annual structure allows us to foster continuity, collaboration, and long-term value for members.
Cancellation Process
You may cancel your membership at any time through your account settings. Once canceled, your membership will end at the conclusion of your current annual billing period and will not be renewed.
No Refunds
We do not offer refunds upon cancellation. Membership includes immediate access to a comprehensive library of downloadable resources and exclusive content. Canceling ensures you will not be charged again after your current term ends.
Access Through End of Term
After cancellation, you retain full access to Premium features until your annual billing period concludes.
Rejoining the Community
You are always welcome to rejoin. Please note that all new and returning members enroll under the annual membership option, which is the only plan currently available.
Legacy Members
Members who joined prior to February 2026 may continue under their originally selected subscription terms while their membership remains active. If a legacy member cancels and later returns, the annual membership option will apply.
