4.3 BuzzyClub Ambassador Program

BuzzyClub also offers an Ambassador Program, providing members with the opportunity to receive discounts, perks, or other benefits by successfully referring a specified number of new members to the BuzzyClub platform. The Ambassador Program is designed to reward members for their efforts in promoting BuzzyClub and expanding its community. 

BuzzyClub currently offers Ambassadors a cash compensation for successfully referring members that maintain their subscription for a minimum of 60 days. Compensation is determined based on a tiered referral program as follows:

1. Bronze Level: Refer 1-2 members and receive 10% of the first month’s paid fee.

2. Silver Level: Refer 3-10 members and receive 15% of the first month’s paid fee.

3. Gold Level: Refer 11+ members and receive 20% of the first month’s paid fee.

Ambassadors maintain their tiered ambassadorship level dependent on the number of current BuzzyClub members. Ambassadors must also successfully refer a new member within 12 months of the last successful referral to maintain their ambassadorship. Should an Ambassador reach 12 months and 1 day without a new, successful member referral, the Ambassador will move to the lowest Ambassador level currently available. 

BuzzyClub reserves the right to update or modify the terms and conditions of the Ambassador Program at any time, without prior notice. Any changes to the Ambassador Program terms will be effective immediately upon posting on the BuzzyClub platform or other means of communication deemed appropriate by BuzzyClub.

5. Pause or Termination of Membership:

5.1 Can Members Pause their Membership

If members find themselves in need of a temporary break from monthly payments while still wishing to maintain their membership with BuzzyClub, we offer a membership pause option for up to two months per calendar year. This allows members to temporarily suspend their monthly payments without canceling their membership altogether.

It's important to note that if a member was enrolled in a discounted membership at the time of pausing, BuzzyClub reserves the right to remove the discount when the membership resumes. This means that upon the resumption of membership after the pause period, the membership fee may revert to the standard monthly rate applicable at that time.

BuzzyClub requires that members provide a minimum of 30 days notice before requesting a membership pause. This advance notice allows us to process the pause request and adjust the member's account accordingly.

During the membership pause period, members will temporarily lose access to BuzzyClub's resources and services. However, members can rest assured that their membership status and account information will remain intact, and they will be able to resume full access to BuzzyClub upon the end of the pause period.

Members are responsible for initiating the membership pause request through their BuzzyClub account or by contacting our customer support team. BuzzyClub reserves the right to deny or modify membership pause requests at its discretion.

By utilizing the membership pause option, members acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions outlined above, including the potential removal of discounts upon membership resumption and the requirement of 30 days notice before pausing membership.

5.2 What Are the Guidelines for Termination of Membership

BuzzyClub reserves the right to terminate or suspend a member's access to the platform for any violation of these terms and conditions, including but not limited to non-compliance with payment obligations, unauthorized use of BuzzyClub's resources, or any behavior deemed inappropriate or detrimental to the community.

Members may terminate their membership at any time by canceling through the BuzzyClub platform. To cancel membership, members can navigate to their account settings and follow the designated cancellation process outlined on the platform. Upon cancellation, members will no longer have access to BuzzyClub's resources and services. Please note that members will not be reimbursed for the current month if they quit during the billing cycle, but they will not be charged for the following months. If Members wish to pause their membership, they are required to reach out to BuzzyClub a minimum of 30 days prior to the proposed pause date.

Please note that any discounted membership rates enjoyed by members are subject to become void upon cancellation. If a member cancels their membership and later decides to return to BuzzyClub, the discounted rate previously applied may no longer be available, and the membership rate will revert to the standard rate applicable at the time of rejoining.

BuzzyClub reserves the right to modify or discontinue any discount offerings at its discretion. Members will be notified in advance of any changes to discount rates or promotional offers.

By accepting these terms and conditions, members acknowledge and agree to the termination and cancellation policies outlined above, including the potential voiding of discounted rates upon cancellation and the process for terminating membership through the BuzzyClub platform.
