Synergy Networking – Terms & Conditions of Membership

Effective Date: 21 October 2025

By joining Synergy Networking, you agree to the following terms and conditions. These are designed to protect the integrity of our groups, ensure a high standard of engagement, and maintain a safe, respectful, and growth-oriented environment for all members.

1. Membership Commitment

  • All memberships are for a minimum 12-month term unless otherwise stated.

  • Memberships are paid monthly or annually. Missed payments may result in paused access until the account is brought current.

  • Memberships are non-transferable.

2. Refund Policy

  • All membership fees are non-refundable, including in cases of early termination by the member.

  • No pro-rated refunds will be issued for unused attendance or early withdrawal.

3. Conduct & Culture Expectations

At Synergy, our core values are authentic connection, trust, reciprocity, and personal/professional growth. Members are expected to uphold these values in all interactions.

Unacceptable conduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • Dominating conversations or consistently derailing group discussions

  • Aggressive self-promotion or sales tactics

  • Disrespectful, discriminatory, or exclusionary behavior

  • Breaching confidentiality of what’s shared in the group

  • Failing to engage, show up, or contribute meaningfully over time

  • Speaking negatively about other members, groups, or Synergy publicly or within the group

  • Any action that undermines the trust, cohesion, or integrity of the group

4. Right to Terminate Membership

We reserve the right to terminate a membership at any time without refund if we determine, at our sole discretion, that a member's conduct is detrimental to the group or Synergy’s mission.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Repeated failure to attend or engage meaningfully

  • Consistently violating group norms despite guidance or feedback

  • Attempting to poach clients, undermine facilitators, or cause division

  • Any legal or reputational issue that reflects poorly on the group

  • Breaching the trust or safety of other members

In such cases, termination may be immediate and no refund will be issued.

5. Attendance & Participation

  • Members are expected to attend group sessions regularly and actively contribute.

  • Extended absence (more than 3 weeks without communication) may result in forfeiting your spot in the group.

  • Members should give notice if they’re unable to attend a session.

6. Privacy & Confidentiality

  • What is shared in a Synergy group stays in the group. All members agree to maintain confidentiality unless explicit permission is given to share.

  • Breaching confidentiality is grounds for immediate termination.

7. Group Structure & Facilitator Rights

  • Synergy reserves the right to restructure, reschedule, or reassign groups as needed to ensure optimal group dynamics and effectiveness.

  • Facilitators may introduce guests, new members, or rotate session formats to support the growth of the group.

8. Marketing & Media

  • By joining Synergy, you grant us the right to use group photos, testimonials, and recordings (if applicable) that may feature you, unless you request otherwise in writing.

9. Changes to Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. Members will be notified of changes and continued participation implies acceptance of the revised terms.
