Plan clarity

Understand the offer, the cost, and the Black Card mapping without decoding a long sales page.

Free stays free. Premium remains annual. Founding Member remains monthly. Elite remains invite-only. This page only clarifies the decision and the next action.

What happens after checkout
  1. 1. Complete secure checkout for the selected plan.
  2. 2. Payment is verified and the plan entitlement is mapped to the account.
  3. 3. Black Card tier mapping follows the current membership configuration.

If checkout is canceled or interrupted, no new entitlement is granted. Cancellation stops future renewals under the active billing cadence.

Black Card mapping

Your membership plan determines your Black Card tier.

Premium includes Standard. Founding Member includes Signature. Elite remains a high-touch invite-only tier and is not self-serve checkout.
