Terms and Conditions

OPUS MEMBERSHIP TERMS & CONDITIONS

Effective Date: March 2026 Last Updated: May 2026

Welcome to OPUS. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your membership with OPUS Community Ltd ("OPUS") and the use of our members-only app (“App”). By applying to become a member, you agree to be bound by these Terms should your membership be approved by us. Please read them carefully.

1. MEMBERSHIP OVERVIEW

1.0 Eligibility & Discretion

Membership is subject to approval and ongoing review by the OPUS team. OPUS reserves the right to accept, decline, or revoke membership at any time based on alignment with community values and contribution.

1.1 Individual Membership Only

Membership is non-transferable and granted to the individual named at sign-up. Co-founders, colleagues, or team members must join separately. One login, one member.

1.2 Minimum Commitment

All memberships carry a six (6) month minimum commitment (“Minimum Commitment”). This applies from your membership start date regardless of participation level.

1.3 Payment Terms

Membership is billed monthly (unless otherwise agreed) and auto-renews. Payments are made in local currency and may vary by region. If a payment fails, OPUS will continue to retry. After 14 days of non-payment, access is suspended. After 30 days, your membership will be terminated. If your membership is terminated, you must reapply and receive written approval from the OPUS team before rejoining.

1.4 Termination

To terminate your membership, provide 30 days' written notice and complete either an exit call or written feedback. Any such termination may only take effect on or after the first day after the Minimum Commitment has expired. No refunds are given for mid-cycle terminations, unless due to OPUS error. You are responsible for keeping your contact and billing information accurate at all times.

1.5 Pausing Membership

You may pause your membership for up to 3 months per year, subject to approval. Requests must be for legitimate reasons (e.g. health or relocation) — not for holidays or convenience.

1.6 Membership Suspension

OPUS reserves the right to temporarily suspend membership access where necessary, including but not limited to:

• late or failed payments
• investigation of potential breaches of these Terms
• behaviour that may impact the safety or experience of other members

During suspension, access to OPUS spaces, platforms, and events may be restricted until the matter is resolved.

1.A Member Data Responsibility

Members are responsible for keeping their personal data accurate and up to date at all times, including contact information, billing details, and profile information, and their primary country of residence provided through OPUS platforms. Failure to do so may impact the delivery of services and communications.

Members must promptly notify OPUS of any changes to their country of residence or primary location. OPUS reserves the right to adjust membership access, benefits and applicable fees based on a member’s declared location.

By maintaining an active membership, members confirm that all information provided, including their location, is accurate and truthful. Failure to do so may impact the delivery of services and communications, and may result in adjustments to membership terms or access.

2. CHANGES TO TERMS

2.0 Changes to Membership Fees

OPUS may adjust membership fees at any time. Any fee increase of more than 10% will be treated as a substantial change (see 2.2). OPUS also reserves the right to apply modest increases to account for inflation, business costs, or service enhancements.

2.1 Updates

OPUS reserves the right to modify these Terms, pricing, or member benefits at any time. We’ll notify you at least 30 days before changes take effect.

2.2 Substantial Changes

If a change materially impacts your membership (e.g. >10% price increase), you may terminate within 30 days without penalty. Annual members will be refunded pro rata.

2.3 Acceptance

Continued use of OPUS services after updates = acceptance of new Terms.

3. CONDUCT & COMMUNITY VALUES

3.1 Our KODE of Conduct

By joining OPUS, you commit to our KODE — a shared code of behaviour that defines how we show up for each other, and for the mission:

3.2 Behavioural Standards

Members agree to treat all information shared within the community — whether through OPUS events, platforms, or communications — as confidential, unless express permission is given.

In all spaces (digital + physical), we ask that you:

• Be concise and constructive
• React with an emoji, don’t reply, unless it adds value
• Respect house rules (quiet zones, fair meeting room use)
• Represent OPUS well — in tone, action, and energy

We may issue reminders to encourage more considered contributions in our digital spaces. Misuse of channels (e.g. excessive self-promotion, disruptive behaviour) may result in warnings or moderation.

3.3 Violations & Disciplinary Action

We operate on a strike system:

• First violation: warning
• Second violation: suspension or removal
• Serious breach (e.g. harassment, discrimination, spam): immediate removal

OPUS reserves the right to remove any member and to terminate its membership without refund if conduct is harmful to the community.

3.4 Community Integrity

OPUS may take action where a member’s behaviour undermines the experience of other members or the integrity of the community, even where such behaviour does not constitute a formal breach of these Terms.

Actions may include warnings, moderation of participation, temporary suspension, or termination of membership.

4. USE OF SPACES, EVENTS & PLATFORMS

4.1 OPUS House

Use of OPUS House is subject to fair usage. Meeting rooms cannot be booked back-to-back or for more than one hour without team approval. Members must respect designated zones (e.g. Silent Room = silent). Any misuse of the space, disruption to other members, or disregard for house guidelines may result in warnings or temporary suspension of access.

4.2 Partner Venues

When accessing partner venues (e.g. Old Sessions House), members agree to comply with those venues' Terms & Conditions and codes of conduct. OPUS is not responsible for the behaviour of partner venue staff or other guests and is not liable for breaches that occur outside of OPUS-operated spaces.

4.3 Events & Guests

Most events are included in membership. Select experiences (international trips, retreats, supper clubs) may require additional payment. Guests may attend only when explicitly permitted. You’re responsible for your guests’ behaviour during any such event.

4.4 Event Participation

Members participate in OPUS events, activities, and experiences at their own risk.

Attendance at events may be subject to availability, location, or capacity, and OPUS reserves the right to limit access to events where necessary to maintain the quality of the experience.

OPUS may remove individuals from events where behaviour is considered inappropriate, unsafe, or disruptive. If you are unable t attend an event, please notify us promptly. If you cancel your attendance at an event for which a participation fee has been charged, we will refund you at our discretion. We will not refund you if we have not been able to reallocate or fill your spot. Please note that any deposits paid for event attendance are non-refundable in any event.

4.5 Photography & Media

OPUS may capture photography, video, or recordings at events and community gatherings.

By participating in OPUS events or activities, members consent to the use of such materials picturing the relevant member by OPUS and grant OPUS a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, publish, alter and modify such materials for community communications, marketing, and promotional purposes in connection with the event or membership in print and digital media formats throughout the world (“Permitted Activities”) Each member agrees to OPUS storing copies of such materials for as long as necessary to fulfil the Permitted Activities. Members who do not wish to appear in such materials should notify the OPUS team in advance where possible.

4.6 WhatsApp & App Use

Use of WhatsApp and our digital platform is a privilege. No unsolicited pitching, selling, or irrelevant self-promotion. Members may not send mass marketing emails or add fellow members to email lists without clear prior consent. We may temporarily remove members from channels without full termination for misuse.

You acknowledge and agree that OPUS may use third party machine learning, deep learning, and other artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies, including statistical learning algorithms, models (including large language models), neural networks, and other AI tools or methodologies, all software implementations of any of the foregoing, and related hardware or equipment capable of generating various types of content (including text, images, video, audio, or computer code) based on user-supplied prompts (“AI Technology”) to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as part of the OPUS App or Whatsapp communications. OPUS shall not use, and shall not permit any third party to use, any of your personal data to train, validate, update, improve, or modify any AI Technology for itself or for the benefit of any other person or entity, without your prior written consent.

This is where you create your OPUS.
