Terms of Service

Effective July 18, 2026

1. The agreement

These Terms govern access to and use of the service operated at subclub.curious.nyc (“SubClub”, the “Club”, “we”). By signing in, applying for membership, or holding a membership, you accept these Terms.

2. What the Club is

SubClub is a small, private, invitation-based membership club. The nature of the membership benefit is communicated to Members directly and is intentionally not described in these Terms or anywhere else on this site. If you do not already know what the Club does, these Terms are not addressed to you.

Nothing on this site constitutes an offer to the general public.

3. Applying and membership

Signing in with a Google account constitutes an application for membership. Admission is entirely at our discretion; we are not obliged to give reasons, act within any timeframe, or admit anyone. An application may remain pending indefinitely.

Membership is personal and non-transferable. One account per person; you are responsible for everything done through your account.

4. Dues and your balance

Members maintain a prepaid balance, denominated in US dollars. On the 1st of each month, that month’s dues are deducted from your balance. Dues are recalculated each month and may go up or down; the current amount is always visible to you when signed in, before you pay anything.

Your balance is not a deposit, earns no interest, and is not redeemable for cash, except that if your membership ends we may — at our discretion — refund the remaining balance.

5. Payments and card fees

Payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe’s processing fee (currently 2.9% + $0.30 per card payment) is added at checkout as its own line item, shown to you before you pay. The amount you chose is credited to your balance in full.

6. Auto-renew

Once you have paid by card, auto-renew is on by default: if on the monthly run your balance falls below two months’ dues, your saved card is charged one year’s dues (minimum $10) onto your balance, plus the card fee. You can switch auto-renew off or remove your saved card at any time from your member page. A failed auto-renew charge is not retried.

7. Lapse and termination

If your balance reaches zero, your membership pauses. There is no penalty and nothing is owed; any payment reinstates it immediately.

We may suspend or end any membership at our discretion. If we end yours, we will — at our discretion — refund any remaining balance.

8. Discretion

Members agree not to publicly disclose non-public details of the Club, its benefits, or its Members, and not to share their account or extend the benefit of membership to anyone who is not a Member.

9. Acceptable use

Do not misrepresent your identity, probe or disrupt the service, scrape it, or use it for anything unlawful.

10. Disclaimers and liability

The service and the benefits of membership are provided as is. We may change, substitute, or discontinue any part of what the Club offers at any time. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to you is limited to the dues you paid in the twelve months before the claim arose.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above reflects the latest version; continued use of the service after a change means you accept it.

12. Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Questions go to the Club administrator, through the channel you already use to reach them.
