4.             Membership Billing Information

           a.          MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP OPTION:  Fees for being a monthly Member of The Clutter Diet are charged as an automatically recurring monthly payment of $27.00 (“Monthly Access Fees”).  The term of the monthly billing cycle includes one full month’s time; there is no prorating of days or percentages of the month’s usage.  Monthly Access Fees are automatically charged to your credit or debit card each month until we are notified of cancellation. Cancellation becomes effective at the end of the current monthly billing cycle.  There are no refunds for these monthly payments.

           b.          ANNUAL OPTION:  The fee for becoming an annual Member of The Clutter Diet consists of one annual payment of $197.00 (“Annual Access Fee”), payable in full upon joining. The term of Membership extends from the first date of the active annual membership to the same date the following year. Members who upgrade to an Annual membership from Monthly will start their Annual membership term the day after their Monthly membership expires. Annual membership payments do automatically renew on the expiration date, charging the credit or debit card you authorized when joining. We provide ample advance notice of the charge via the email address you have provided.

           c.          PHONE AND VIDEO CONSULTING HOURS:  Hours purchased for expert consulting via phone or video expire after one year from date of purchase. If phone/video time is received as a result of a special promotion, such as a free hour for a membership sale, those promotional hours expire 90 days after the date of purchase of the promotion. Time may be scheduled and will be deducted in 15 minute increments if used via phone/voice, and if time is used via video (such as Skype video calling), it must be deducted and scheduled in one-hour increments. To reschedule or cancel an appointment, 48 hours of advance notice must be provided to the organizer expert scheduled with or the time will be forfeited. There are no free “make-up” calls for missed appointments.

If you choose to cancel your Membership before the end of the annual term, any refund that is due will be calculated based on all of the months used at the full Monthly Access Fee rate of $27.00. Months used are calculated in units of full months; there is no prorating of days or percentages of the month’s usage.

If there is a remainder to refund, it will be credited to the credit or debit card you used when joining. When this is not possible, we will mail a check. There are no retroactive refunds given for Membership time already elapsed, only for the remaining time in the annual term. There are no refunds given beyond 7 months of usage. Refunds are given according to the table below.
