Agreement Overview
This Membership Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between The Commissioned Society ("TCS," "we," or "us") and the business partner ("Member," "you," or "your") applying for membership. By submitting your membership application and initial payment, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms outlined below.
The Commissioned Society is a local business growth network that connects trusted home service and real estate professionals through digital visibility, community participation, professional relationships, and educational support. Membership includes access to an AI-powered business website, Facebook community visibility opportunities, a business directory presence, monthly networking experiences, and AI/marketing training sessions.
Members are responsible for the following fees:
Monthly dues are billed via Zelle or other approved payment methods. Payments are due on the same date each month as the original activation. Late payments may result in suspension of membership benefits, including website visibility, community participation, and directory listing.
Members agree to:
TCS will build and host an AI-powered business website for each Member. The Member grants TCS permission to use submitted business information, photos, videos, and content for the purpose of creating and maintaining the website. The Member retains ownership of all submitted content. TCS retains ownership of the website design, structure, and platform. Upon cancellation, the website will be deactivated and Member content will be removed within 30 days unless alternative arrangements are made.
Members may receive opportunities for visibility within Commissioned Society Facebook communities, including business directory listings, partner recommendations, Group Expert recognition, and moderator opportunities. These opportunities are subject to TCS approval, platform availability, community needs, and ongoing compliance with Community Partner Guidelines. TCS does not guarantee specific results, recommendations, or lead volume from community participation.
TCS limits the number of members per business category per territory to maintain value for existing members. Membership does not guarantee category exclusivity if the territory limit has been reached. If a Member's category becomes full, the Member will be placed on a waitlist for the next available opening.
Either party may cancel this Agreement at any time. To cancel, the Member must notify TCS in writing. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Refunds for partial months are not provided. TCS reserves the right to terminate membership immediately for violations of this Agreement, unprofessional conduct, fraudulent activity, or actions that damage the reputation of TCS or its members.
TCS provides tools, visibility, and opportunities designed to support business growth. However, TCS does not guarantee leads, sales, revenue, referrals, or any specific business outcome. Results depend on Member participation, market conditions, service quality, and other factors outside TCS's control.
TCS's total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total membership fees paid by the Member in the three (3) months preceding any claim. TCS is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of revenue, loss of leads, or damage to business reputation.
TCS collects and uses Member business information for the purpose of providing membership services. TCS will not sell Member data to third parties. Member contact information may be shared with potential customers through the business website and directory listing as part of the normal course of business.
TCS may update this Agreement from time to time. Members will be notified of material changes at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued membership after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
For questions about this Agreement, please contact The Commissioned Society through the member support channels provided in your dashboard or via the Request Information page.
