Membership Payment Terms and Conditions

1. Membership, Application & Eligibility

Membership is by application, invitation, or approval only and remains subject to the eligibility criteria, membership policy, and internal approval process of For The Few. Submitting an application or registering your interest does not guarantee acceptance as a member. For The Few reserves the right to accept, decline, pause, suspend, or withdraw any application at its sole discretion.

Membership License

Membership constitutes a revocable personal license to access For The Few services and benefits, not a contract for ongoing services. For The Few may revoke, suspend, or terminate membership at any time with or without cause, with or without refund, and without liability.

If payment is requested before final approval, the payment will be treated as conditional until your membership is confirmed in writing by For The Few. If an applicant is not accepted after payment has been collected, For The Few may either reverse the payment or decline to activate the membership, subject to applicable payment processor rules and law.

By applying and/or making payment, you confirm that all information provided is accurate, complete, and not misleading. Membership is personal, non-transferable, and may not be assigned, sold, gifted, shared, or transferred to any other person without the prior written approval of For The Few.

2. Membership Fees

All membership is an annual membership. The membership fee may be paid through two payment methods with different pricing:

Monthly Payment Method: 795 AED per month

Annual Payment Method: 8,586 AED upfront (10% discount)

All fees are quoted and charged in UAE Dirhams (AED) unless otherwise stated. Fees are inclusive of VAT only where expressly stated or where required under applicable UAE Federal Tax Authority regulations.

Fee Changes

For The Few may revise membership fees or amend payment structures at any time. Members will be notified of material fee changes at least 15 days in advance where reasonably possible. Fee increases apply to all renewals and may apply to existing members' next billing cycle. Continued membership after the effective date of any fee change constitutes acceptance of the revised fees.

If VAT or any other tax becomes applicable, For The Few may add or collect such amount in accordance with applicable law. For The Few may revise membership fees or amend payment structures from time to time without limitation.

3. Payment Methods

All members hold a single annual membership. Members may elect to pay through one of two payment methods:

Monthly Payment Method

Members may choose to pay 795 AED per month through monthly automated deductions charged in advance on a recurring monthly basis on the same calendar date as the first successful payment, or on such other billing date confirmed by For The Few or its payment processor. Payment authorisation is ongoing and recurring until the membership is cancelled in accordance with these Terms.

Annual Payment Method

Members may choose to pay 8,586 AED as a single upfront payment covering a 12-month membership period from the date of activation or such other date confirmed in writing. This represents a 10% discount from the monthly payment method. Members may switch between payment methods by providing written notice. All members, regardless of payment method chosen, receive identical benefits, access, invitations, and privileges.

4. Payment Authorisation & Processing

By providing your payment details or completing payment through a payment link, checkout page, invoice, bank transfer, or any approved payment method, you authorise For The Few and/or its appointed payment processor to charge the applicable membership fee and any approved recurring fees. For members choosing the monthly payment method, payment authorisation is ongoing and recurring at 795 AED per month until the membership is cancelled in accordance with these Terms. For members choosing the annual payment method, payment is taken in full at 8,586 AED at the time of registration, activation, or renewal, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Accepted payment methods may include credit card, debit card, payment link, hosted checkout page, invoice, bank transfer, or other methods made available by For The Few from time to time. It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment details are valid, current, and accurate. You must promptly update For The Few if your payment information changes. For The Few may use secure third-party payment processing services. We do not intend to store full card details on our own systems.

5. No Refund Policy

All membership fees, application fees, joining fees, administrative fees, event fees, deposits, and any other amounts paid to For The Few are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable UAE law or expressly approved in writing by For The Few management. No refund or credit will be provided for non-attendance, non-use of membership benefits, missed events, travel plans, relocation, change of personal circumstances, cancellation by the Member, or suspension or termination due to breach of these Terms or the Collective's policies.

Where a refund is approved in writing or required by law, it will be processed to the original payment method where possible and may be subject to payment processor timelines, fees, and rules.

6. Late, Failed or Returned Payments

If a payment is not received by the due date, membership access may be suspended without prior notice until all outstanding amounts are settled. In the event of a failed payment, For The Few or its payment processor may reattempt collection and/or contact you using the details provided at registration. For The Few reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for failed, returned, disputed, reversed, or chargeback payments, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If fees remain unpaid for 30 days or more, For The Few may terminate the membership and pursue recovery of any outstanding amount through lawful means.

7. Cancellation by the Member

All members may cancel their membership by providing written notice of three (3) months in advance to Support@forthefew.ae. This notice period applies equally to members paying through the monthly payment method or the annual payment method.

Upon cancellation with proper notice, For The Few will refund the pro-rata amount for the unused portion of the membership period for members using the annual payment method, calculated at 795 AED per month. Members using the monthly payment method will not be charged further instalments after the cancellation notice period ends.

Membership access continues until the end of the notice period. For The Few may allow access to membership benefits until the end of the paid period, unless membership is suspended or terminated due to breach, conduct, non-payment, or misuse.

8. Suspension or Termination by For The Few

For The Few may suspend or terminate membership with immediate effect and without refund if a Member breaches these Terms, the membership policy, event rules, privacy requirements, code of conduct, or any other policy of the Collective. For The Few may suspend or terminate membership with immediate effect and without refund if a Member engages in conduct that is harmful, disruptive, threatening, discriminatory, unlawful, offensive, damaging to the reputation of For The Few, damaging to other members, guests, partners, venues, brands, or collaborators, or inconsistent with the atmosphere and standards of the Collective.

Members and approved guests remain subject to the rules, entry requirements, policies, dress codes, licensing conditions, health and safety requirements, and decisions of any third-party venue or event partner. For The Few is not responsible for decisions made independently by third-party venues. Members voluntarily attend all events and activities at their own risk. Members remain responsible for assessing their own health, fitness, and suitability to participate in any activity and agree to comply with all reasonable safety instructions issued by For The Few, venues, or event organizers.

For The Few may suspend or terminate membership with immediate effect and without refund if a Member provides false or misleading information, misuses access, shares private event details without permission, commercially exploits the membership without approval, or breaches confidentiality or privacy expectations. For The Few may, at its discretion, suspend access temporarily while reviewing any conduct, payment, safety, privacy, or compliance concern.

9. Events, Access & Member Experiences

Membership provides access to a private members collective and the opportunity to receive invitations, apply for access, register interest, or RSVP for selected For The Few experiences, subject to availability and approval. Membership does not guarantee attendance at every event, experience, dinner, gathering, brand discovery event, partner event, or third-party venue activation.

Certain events may have limited capacity, separate RSVP requirements, guest restrictions, waitlists, dress codes, approval requirements, additional event fees, deposits, minimum spend, or partner/venue terms. For The Few may amend, postpone, relocate, reschedule, curate, or cancel events where reasonably necessary due to venue availability, partner requirements, safety, compliance, demand, force majeure, or operational reasons.

Members are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, transport, personal expenses, and any third-party costs unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

10. Guest Policy

Members may only attend For The Few events personally and may not bring guests, plus ones, companions, or other attendees unless the applicable event invitation, event policy, RSVP confirmation, or written approval from For The Few expressly permits guest access. Each For The Few event may have its own rules, access conditions, approval requirements, RSVP process, capacity limits, dress code, guest policy, payment terms, venue rules, and event-specific terms, which members must comply with in addition to these Terms.

Where guest access is permitted, it may be subject to separate approval, capacity limits, guest fees, dress codes, registration requirements, venue rules, and any additional event-specific terms. Guests may only attend For The Few events where guest access is expressly permitted and approved in advance. Members are responsible for the conduct, payment obligations, and compliance of their guests. For The Few may refuse, remove, or restrict any guest at its sole discretion.

11. Privacy, Confidentiality & Media

Members are expected to respect the privacy and discretion of For The Few, its members, guests, founders, partners, venues, brands, and collaborators. This includes member lists, event details, conversations, invitations, locations, pricing, partner arrangements, and internal communications. None of this information may be shared publicly or commercially exploited without prior written approval from For The Few.

Photography and Recording

For The Few and its partners may capture, record, and publish photography and videography at events and member spaces. By attending For The Few events or using membership benefits, you consent to being photographed, filmed, and recorded. For The Few may use these images and recordings for promotional, editorial, archival, and commercial purposes across all platforms and channels at its discretion, in accordance with applicable law. Members waive any right to compensation for such use.

12. Data Protection, Business Analytics & Member Data Ownership

Collection and Use

By becoming a member, you consent to For The Few collecting, storing, and processing your personal data for: membership administration, application review, communication, payment processing, event access, security, compliance, analytics, business intelligence, and strategic planning purposes.

Personal data is handled in accordance with applicable UAE data protection laws and the For The Few Privacy Policy. Payment data may be processed by authorised third-party payment providers.

Data as Business Asset

Member data, including contact information, transaction history, behavioral patterns, preferences, attendance records, and any other information collected, constitutes a business asset of For The Few. For The Few reserves the right to transfer, sell, license, monetize, or otherwise exploit member data in connection with: business operations, ventures, pivots, analytics products, strategic initiatives, affiliate relationships, acquisitions, mergers, sales of assets, or any change in control or ownership. Any recipient of member data must commit to maintaining reasonable data protection standards. Members acknowledge that by joining For The Few, they expressly consent to their data being treated as a transferable business asset.

Business Analytics and Insights

For The Few may collect, analyze, track, and use member data to: derive business intelligence, identify trends, build analytics products, profile member behavior and preferences, optimize operations, develop strategic partnerships, create monetizable insights, and inform business decisions. Aggregated and anonymized member insights may be shared with partners, investors, acquirers, or third parties at For The Few's discretion.

Data Retention and Lifetime Use

For The Few retains the right to retain and use all member data indefinitely, regardless of membership status. Member data remains the exclusive property of For The Few in perpetuity and may continue to be analyzed, monetized, or transferred long after cancellation or termination of membership. Members waive any claim to their data or compensation for its use after membership ends.

Member Communications

For The Few retains the right to contact members and former members via email, SMS, phone, or other channels for promotional, marketing, operational, or strategic purposes, indefinitely and without limitation. Opt-out requests do not guarantee removal from contact lists.

12.A Member-Generated Content Ownership

Any content, photographs, videos, messages, feedback, suggestions, creative materials, or other submissions provided by members in connection with membership or events automatically become the exclusive property of For The Few. For The Few owns all intellectual property rights to such content and may reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, or commercialize it without attribution or compensation to the member.

12.B Data Security & Third-Party Processors

For The Few uses third-party payment processors and service providers to handle member data. While For The Few endeavors to ensure these parties maintain reasonable security standards, For The Few is not liable for any data breach, unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of member data by third parties. Members use For The Few services at their own risk regarding data security.

13. Changes to These Terms

For The Few may amend, update, replace, or modify these Terms at any time, with or without notice. Members will be notified of material changes by email, website notice, membership portal notice, or other written communication at least 30 days in advance where reasonably possible, but lack of notice does not invalidate changes.

Your continued membership, payment, or use of membership benefits after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept material changes, you may cancel your membership by providing three months' written notice as set out in Section 7. Continued use of membership after the effective date of changes waives any objection to the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the applicable federal laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be referred to good-faith negotiations between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot legally be excluded.

16. Force Majeure

In such circumstances, For The Few may suspend, postpone, relocate, modify, or cancel membership services or events without liability.

20. Food, Beverage & Allergy Responsibility
