The Support Tier Shelf

1. What membership includes.

The Support Tier is how readers support the author's work.

While your membership is active you get: (a) the advanced features of thelogfile.com as they are built and released to members; and (b) access to the I am AI door, to read and listen as chapters are released, on the door's own Terms of Access.

Door access carried by a membership ends when the membership ends, unless you also bought the one-time access.

Features of the site that are free when you join stay free; membership never walls off what is free today.

2. No promised features.

Advanced features arrive as they are built.

No specific feature, release timing, or permanence of any feature is promised.

We may add, change, or retire member features; if we retire one, that alone does not create a refund, and you may cancel before your next renewal.

2A. Tier-first content: early standing, not exclusivity.

New installments of the author's public serialized work may appear in the Support Tier first and be published openly later.

What your membership buys on that work is early standing: you read or hear it during the period before it opens, if and when the author releases it to the tier first.

It does not buy permanent exclusivity.

The author may later publish any tier-first installment openly, to everyone, free, at his sole discretion, and no length for the early period is promised; it may be short or long.

That later open publication is the design of the tier, not a change to it: it is not a breach of these terms, it does not entitle you to a refund, and nothing you accessed early is taken from you by it, because early access was the benefit.

This section covers the author's public serialized work; it does not promise that the I am AI door's content will ever be published openly, and it does not change the door's Terms of Access.

3. Price, billing, renewal.

$5 monthly or $50 yearly, USD, charged through Stripe when you join and on each renewal date until you cancel.

Any tax that applies is shown at checkout before you pay.

If we change the price, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, and it will apply from your next renewal after that notice; cancel before then and you are never charged the new price.

If a renewal payment fails, your membership ends at the end of the period already paid for.

4. Cancellation.

Cancel any time in your account settings, online, without contacting us.

We email a confirmation.

Cancellation stops future charges and takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for; member features and membership-carried door access run until that date and then end.

If you also bought the one-time access to the I am AI door, that access is not affected by cancelling your membership and continues under its own terms.

5. Refunds.

Except where the law requires one, we do not refund partial periods: a cancelled membership runs to the end of its paid period rather than refunding the remainder.

We will always refund a duplicate or erroneous charge.

6. The door's own terms still govern the door.

The I am AI door may itself end under its Terms of Access (the lifetime bounds stated there).

If it does, your membership continues for the site's other features, and membership dues are not refunded for the loss of the door.

The door's refund for an author-decision ending applies to one-time purchasers of door access, not to membership dues.

7. Changes to these terms.

We may update these terms for future periods; material changes will be notified by email with how to cancel, and the version in effect when a period starts governs that period.

8. Seller and contact.

Membership is sold by Chad Kovac.

The charge will appear on your statement as THELOGFILE.COM.

Questions: chad@thelogfile.com.

Florida law governs.

You must be 18, or joining with a parent or guardian's consent, and authorized to use the payment method.
