In order to use the Services, you will need to register for membership (“Membership”) and create an account (“Account”) using your first and last name, e-mail address, password, professional profile, location, and any other information requested (together your “Personal Information”). Once you have registered and created your Account, you will receive a confirmation e-mail to create a personal login for your Membership. You will be prompted to purchase your Membership during the check-out process and provide your payment information. You will have access your Membership for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Subscription”) and the option to renew your Membership at the end of the Subscription.

You represent and warrant on behalf of yourself that the information you provide to The Builder Project upon registration and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete. You will ensure that your e-mail address is kept up-to-date at all times. The Builder Project is not responsible for any errors made by you when creating your Account or purchasing your Membership. The Builder Project shall not be held liable for any losses and/or damages arising from any failure to comply with this clause.

2. Fees and Payments

The Builder Project provides access to the Services through individual Membership Accounts. Membership is free for individuals, but companies, nonprofits, schools, or unions that desire to access the Services must create an Account on behalf of their business and purchase a Membership (the “Fee(s)”). The Fees will be the prices listed on the Platform or otherwise in effect at the time the Services are requested. The Fees may also be set out in any confirmation, e-mail receipt, invoice, or other relevant correspondence. The Builder Project accepts payments electronically through Stripe (“Payment Method”). All Fees are subject to change in The Builder Project’s sole discretion.

The Builder Project may store and continue billing your Payment Method, to avoid interruptions in your Membership. If you purchase a Membership, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each month for the Fees and taxes applicable to that month. Members may also be subject to additional charges, which may include, but are not limited to: currency and exchange fees, VAT, and/or local taxes. Any additional Fees shall be added to your Fee total.

If you do not pay the Fees when they are due, or your Payment Method continuously fails, The Builder Project may (a) charge you a late fee of 1.5% interest per month that you are late; or (b) initiate collection procedures. You agree to pay the cost of collection, including, without limitation to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

There may be a promotion, discount, or sale on the Platform (“Promotion(s)”). These Promotions may affect the Fees and may be governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions for a promotion and these Terms, the terms and conditions specific to that Promotion will govern that specific circumstance. All Fees, discounts, and Promotions available are subject to change without notice.

The Builder Project strives to display accurate price information, however, on occasion, there may be inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to pricing. The Builder Project reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any payments arising from such occurrences.

3. Cancellations, Refunds, and Disputes

The Builder Project aims to respectfully respond to all questions, comments, and concerns regarding customer satisfaction and any related or resulting disputes. If you are unhappy with the Services, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to rectify the situation.

Members can cancel their Membership at any time with no cancellation fee. If you do not renew your Membership, it will expire at the end of your Subscription’s billing cycle.

Generally, all Fees and payments rendered are non-refundable. The Builder Project is not responsible for errors made by a Member during the purchasing process. However, under certain circumstances, The Builder Project may allow you to receive a refund. In order to process a refund, you must cancel your Membership within five (5) days of purchase. Refunds will be processed within five (5) business days. Should, The Builder Project in its sole discretion, decide to refund or credit you on any amounts paid, that refund or credit shall constitute its entire, sole, and exclusive liability, and your sole and exclusive remedy.

If you file a dispute through your electronic Payment Method before contacting The Builder Project, we reserve the right to dispute the refund and initiate collection procedures which may include attorney’s fees. Once a dispute is made through your electronic Payment Method, you will no longer have the opportunity to request a refund and resolve the issue.

Nothing in these Terms extends a binding obligation on The Builder Project to offer refunds or prorations. Should The Builder Project, in its sole discretion, decide to refund, prorate, or credit you any amounts paid, that refund, prorate, or credit shall constitute the entire, sole, and exclusive liability, and your sole and exclusive remedy, with respect to that Service.
