Membership policies

Billing cycles

Membership dues are automatically billed according to the payment schedule outlined in your membership agreement.

Pausing your membership

Members may pause for 1–3 months once during each 12-month membership term. Additional pauses aren't permitted in the same term. A new pause can be requested only after a new 12-month term has begun, following the completion of the previous pause.

Any approved pause months used during the initial 12-month term are added to the end of the membership agreement. Your regular billing schedule stays unchanged through the first 12 months. After the initial term is complete, paused months are honored as prorated membership time.

Submit your request in writing at least 30 days before your next billing date. All recurring payments are then placed on hold.

Pause form

Cancelling your membership

Cancellation requests must be submitted at least 30 days before your next billing cycle to avoid additional charges. Requests submitted with less than 30 days' notice result in one additional month of billing.
