By electronically accepting this Agreement, clicking "I Agree," electronically signing this Agreement, or otherwise accepting membership in Film Global, the Member acknowledges that the Member has read, understands, and agrees to be legally bound by this Agreement.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Film Global is a private membership organization dedicated to advancing the future of film through investment, philanthropy, and meaningful industry connections. Membership is a privilege, not a right, and remains subject to Film Global's continuing approval and the terms of this Agreement. Membership Dues purchase membership only. They do not constitute an investment and do not provide any ownership interest, equity, voting rights, profit participation, carried interest, revenue sharing, or other financial interest in Film Global, any affiliate, any investment vehicle, or any film or entertainment project. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Club communication, event, presentation, educational program, website, or other material constitutes an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. Any investment opportunity that may be introduced through Film Global will, if offered at all, be offered separately through its own governing documents and only to persons who independently satisfy all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Film Global is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial planner and does not provide investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. Members are solely responsible for conducting their own independent due diligence and consulting their own professional advisors before making any investment decision.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL NOTICE

Membership automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless cancelled before the applicable Renewal Date in accordance with this Agreement. The annual Membership Dues will be charged to the Member's payment method on file or otherwise billed on each Renewal Date unless membership is cancelled before renewal. Members will receive any renewal reminders required by applicable law together with instructions for cancelling membership.

2. Membership and Admission

2.1 Nature of Membership

Film Global is a private membership organization dedicated to advancing the future of film through investment, philanthropy, and meaningful industry connections. Membership is a personal, revocable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive privilege granted by Film Global. Membership does not create any ownership interest, equity, voting rights, partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, fiduciary relationship, or other legal or economic interest in Film Global or any affiliated entity. Membership entitles the Member only to those Membership Benefits that Film Global elects to make available from time to time. No Member is entitled to any particular event, introduction, Opportunity, educational program, speaker, service, or other Membership Benefit unless expressly determined by Film Global. Membership is a privilege and not a right.

2.2 Eligibility and Admission

Admission to Film Global is by invitation or approval only. As conditions of membership, an applicant may be required to:

  • qualify as an Accredited Investor;
  • complete Film Global's membership application;
  • provide requested information or supporting documentation;
  • complete any identity verification, accreditation, know-your-customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, or other compliance review;
  • satisfy Film Global's membership standards; and
  • receive final approval from Film Global.

Film Global may accept, reject, defer, condition, suspend, revoke, or terminate any membership application or membership at its sole discretion, with or without cause and without any obligation to provide an explanation.

2.3 Member Representations

The Member represents, warrants, and agrees that:

  • all information provided to Film Global is complete, accurate, and not misleading;
  • the Member will promptly notify Film Global of any material change to such information;
  • the Member satisfies all eligibility requirements established by Film Global;
  • the Member will comply with this Agreement and all policies, standards, and rules adopted by Film Global from time to time;
  • neither the Member, nor, if applicable, any beneficial owner of the Member, is subject to applicable economic or trade sanctions or located in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions, except as disclosed to and approved by Film Global; and
  • the Member understands that continued membership is conditioned upon ongoing compliance with this Agreement.

2.4 Membership Approval

Membership becomes effective only after:

  • Film Global approves the Member's application;
  • the Member accepts this Agreement electronically or otherwise;
  • all requested documentation has been received;
  • any required compliance reviews have been completed; and
  • the applicable Membership Dues have been paid.

Until each of the foregoing conditions has been satisfied, no applicant shall be deemed a Member or entitled to any Membership Benefits.

2.5 Good Standing

A Member remains in good standing only while:

  • complying with this Agreement;
  • paying all Membership Dues when due;
  • continuing to satisfy Film Global's membership standards; and
  • remaining eligible for membership under Film Global's policies.

Film Global may determine whether a Member remains in good standing in its reasonable discretion.

2.6 Non-Transferability

Membership is personal to the approved Member and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, shared, sublicensed, or otherwise conveyed, voluntarily or involuntarily, without Film Global's prior written consent. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Agreement is void and may result in suspension or termination of membership.

2.7 Accredited Investor Verification

Film Global may verify a Member's Accredited Investor status for membership eligibility purposes through self-certification, third-party verification, financial documentation, or any other verification process it deems appropriate. Verification for membership purposes does not constitute verification for any securities offering. Participation in any Opportunity may require separate accreditation verification, suitability review, subscription documentation, or other legal requirements established by the applicable issuer or investment vehicle. Membership does not guarantee eligibility to participate in any Opportunity.

2.8 No Right to Continued Membership

Membership remains subject to Film Global's continuing approval. Film Global may suspend, restrict, decline to renew, or terminate membership whenever it determines that doing so is consistent with the best interests of the Club, its Members, or its mission. No Member has any vested or continuing right to membership beyond the applicable Membership Year.

3. Membership Dues, Term, and Renewal

3.1 Membership Dues

The annual Membership Dues shall be the amount established by Film Global from time to time. Unless otherwise approved in writing by Film Global, Membership Dues are payable in full before a Member is admitted to the Club or granted access to any Membership Benefits. Film Global may, in its sole discretion, offer promotional pricing, installment payment options, multi-year memberships, corporate memberships, founding memberships, lifetime memberships, or other pricing arrangements without creating any obligation to offer similar terms to any other Member.

3.2 Membership Term

Membership begins on the Effective Date and continues for an initial Membership Year. Unless cancelled, suspended, terminated, or not renewed in accordance with this Agreement, membership automatically renews for successive one-year Membership Years.

3.3 Automatic Renewal Authorization

By accepting this Agreement, the Member expressly authorizes Film Global to:

  • automatically renew the Member's membership each Membership Year;
  • charge the Member's authorized payment method on file or otherwise invoice the Member for the applicable Membership Dues on each Renewal Date;
  • communicate renewal reminders and billing notices electronically; and
  • continue such renewals unless the Member cancels membership before the applicable Renewal Date.

The Member acknowledges that these automatic renewal provisions constitute a material part of this Agreement.

3.4 Cancellation by Member

A Member may cancel membership at any time by:

  • using Film Global's Membership Platform;
  • sending written notice to Film Global's designated membership email address; or
  • any other cancellation method made available by Film Global that is no more burdensome than the enrollment process.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, cancellation becomes effective at the end of the then-current Membership Year. To avoid renewal charges, Film Global must receive the cancellation before the applicable Renewal Date. Membership Dues already paid are non-refundable except as otherwise required by applicable law or expressly provided by Film Global.

3.5 Non-Renewal by Film Global

Film Global may elect not to renew any membership by providing reasonable notice before the applicable Renewal Date. Non-renewal shall not constitute termination for cause and shall not entitle the Member to any refund except as required by applicable law.

Film Global may modify:

  • Membership Dues;
  • membership categories;
  • Membership Benefits;
  • billing procedures;
  • payment methods;

for future Membership Years by providing notice as required by applicable law. If the Member does not wish to renew under the revised terms, the Member's sole remedy is to cancel membership before the applicable Renewal Date.

  • suspend the Member's access to Membership Benefits;
  • notify the Member of the unpaid amount;
  • require payment by an alternative payment method;
  • charge any applicable returned payment or chargeback fees permitted by law; and
  • suspend or terminate membership if the default is not timely cured.

The Member remains responsible for all reasonable collection costs, including attorneys' fees where permitted by applicable law.

Membership Dues are exclusive of any applicable taxes imposed by governmental authorities, all of which are the responsibility of the Member.

3.9 Payment Methods

Film Global may accept payment by ACH, wire transfer, credit card, debit card, digital wallet, check, or any other payment method approved by Film Global. Film Global may require particular payment methods for certain membership categories or transactions.

3.10 No Refunds

Except as required by applicable law or expressly approved by Film Global, Membership Dues are fully earned when paid and are non-refundable. This applies regardless of:

  • resignation;
  • cancellation;
  • suspension;
  • termination;
  • failure to attend events;
  • dissatisfaction with Membership Benefits;
  • relocation;
  • travel disruptions;
  • force majeure events; or
  • the Member's decision not to participate in Club activities.

  • billing notices;
  • receipts;
  • membership updates;

Participation in any Opportunity may require the execution of separate subscription agreements, operating agreements, partnership agreements, investment management agreements, confidentiality agreements, side letters, or other legal documentation. Such documents shall govern the applicable investment and shall control in the event of any inconsistency with this Agreement. Acceptance as a Member does not entitle any Member to participate in any Opportunity.

5.5 Independent Due Diligence

Each Member is solely responsible for conducting such legal, financial, tax, accounting, operational, commercial, regulatory, and investment due diligence as the Member considers appropriate. Members acknowledge that they are solely responsible for evaluating:

  • the merits and risks of any Opportunity;

  • appreciation;
  • exit opportunities;
  • liquidity;

Where applicable, Members are solely responsible for ensuring that they satisfy all eligibility, accreditation, suitability, legal, regulatory, tax, and other requirements applicable to any Opportunity. Film Global may request information regarding such eligibility but assumes no responsibility for independently verifying a Member's qualifications except to the extent it elects to do so for its own purposes.

5.11 Conflicts of Interest

Film Global, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors, owners, contractors, sponsors, and related parties may have financial, business, ownership, advisory, management, investment, compensation, or other interests relating to an Opportunity that differ from those of a Member. Such persons may receive management fees, advisory fees, carried interest, equity interests, compensation, expense reimbursements, referral compensation where legally permitted, or other economic benefits in connection with Opportunities. Members acknowledge that such interests may create actual or potential conflicts of interest and agree that no such relationship shall, by itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement.

5.12 Regulatory Compliance

Members agree to comply with all applicable securities laws, anti-money laundering laws, sanctions laws, export control laws, anti-corruption laws, and other applicable legal and regulatory requirements relating to any Opportunity. Film Global may decline, restrict, suspend, or terminate participation in any Opportunity whenever it reasonably believes such action is appropriate to comply with applicable law or protect the Club or its Members.

5.13 Reservation of Rights

Film Global reserves the right to establish, modify, suspend, or discontinue any policies, procedures, eligibility requirements, diligence processes, investment review processes, or participation requirements relating to Opportunities at any time. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Film Global to continue any investment-related activity or maintain any particular investment program.

6. Board of Advisors

6.1 Establishment

Film Global may establish one or more advisory bodies, including a Board of Advisors, Investment Committee, Industry Council, or other advisory committees, to support the Club's mission and activities.

Film Global has no obligation to establish or maintain any advisory body.

6.2 Composition

Film Global may appoint, remove, replace, or modify the composition, size, qualifications, responsibilities, leadership, or structure of any advisory body at any time and in its sole discretion.

Film Global retains sole authority over all operational, business, membership, and investment-related decisions.

6.4 Investment Committee

If Film Global establishes an Investment Committee or similar body, its role may include reviewing, evaluating, discussing, or providing recommendations regarding potential Opportunities. The existence of an Investment Committee does not create any obligation for Film Global to:

  • review any Opportunity;
  • present any Opportunity to Members;
  • recommend any investment;
  • conduct any particular level of due diligence; or
  • make Opportunities available to any Member.

Recommendations made by an Investment Committee are advisory only and do not constitute investment advice or recommendations to Members.

6.5 No Fiduciary Duty

Members acknowledge that advisors serve the Club and not any individual Member. No advisor owes any fiduciary, advisory, investment, agency, or other duty to any Member solely by virtue of serving on an advisory body.

6.6 Compensation

Advisors may receive compensation, expense reimbursement, equity, Membership Benefits, profit participation, carried interest, honoraria, or other consideration as determined by Film Global. Film Global has no obligation to disclose the terms of any advisor compensation arrangement except as required by applicable law.

6.7 Conflicts of Interest

Advisors may maintain independent business, investment, philanthropic, or professional relationships that differ from or compete with the interests of Members. Advisors may invest in, advise, manage, finance, own interests in, or otherwise participate in Opportunities or other businesses introduced through or related to Film Global. The existence of such relationships shall not, by itself, constitute a conflict requiring disclosure to Members except as required by applicable law.

6.8 No Reliance

Members shall not rely upon:

  • the identity or reputation of any advisor;
  • the participation of any advisor;
  • any statement or opinion expressed by an advisor; or
  • the existence of any advisory body,

as evidence of the quality, safety, suitability, or expected performance of any Opportunity, event, Membership Benefit, or activity. Each Member remains solely responsible for making independent decisions and conducting independent due diligence.

6.9 Reservation of Rights

Film Global may establish, dissolve, suspend, reorganize, rename, combine, divide, or otherwise modify any advisory body at any time without notice. No Member has any right to the continued existence, composition, or participation of any advisor or advisory body.

Membership in Film Global provides access to Confidential Information that is valuable to Film Global, its Members, advisors, speakers, sponsors, partners, and other participants. The Member shall maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and shall use such information solely for legitimate membership purposes and in accordance with this Agreement. The Member shall exercise at least the same degree of care used to protect the Member's own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

Nothing contained in this Agreement grants the Member any ownership interest, license, or other right in or to any Confidential Information except the limited right to use such information as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

8.9 Injunctive Relief

The Member acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information may cause immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone may be inadequate. Accordingly, Film Global shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting bond except to the extent required by applicable law.

8.10 Survival

The Member's confidentiality obligations shall survive the suspension, expiration, non-renewal, or termination of membership and shall continue until the applicable Confidential Information no longer qualifies as Confidential Information under this Agreement or applicable law.

If a Member wishes not to appear in promotional materials, the Member may notify Film Global in advance of the applicable event. Film Global will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor such requests but cannot guarantee that incidental appearances will not occur.

9.6 Third-Party Intellectual Property

Certain Membership Benefits may include intellectual property owned by speakers, sponsors, filmmakers, publishers, partners, or other third parties. Nothing in this Agreement grants the Member any rights in such third-party intellectual property beyond those expressly authorized by the applicable owner.

9.7 Reservation of Rights

All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by Film Global and its licensors. No implied license shall arise under this Agreement.

10. Suspension and Termination

10.1 Suspension

Film Global may suspend a Member's membership or restrict access to any Membership Benefits immediately, with or without prior notice, whenever Film Global reasonably determines that such action is appropriate to:

  • protect the Club or its Members;
  • investigate a potential violation of this Agreement;
  • address non-payment of Membership Dues;
  • comply with applicable law;
  • protect the security, integrity, or reputation of the Club; or
  • otherwise further the legitimate interests of Film Global.

During any period of suspension, Film Global may restrict or revoke access to events, the Membership Platform, Opportunities, communications, or any other Membership Benefits.

10.2 Termination by Film Global

Film Global may terminate a Member's membership at any time, with or without cause, by providing notice to the Member. Without limiting the foregoing, grounds for termination may include:

  • violation of this Agreement;
  • failure to pay Membership Dues;
  • material misrepresentation;
  • unlawful conduct;
  • conduct inconsistent with the standards or interests of the Club;
  • misuse of Confidential Information;
  • misuse of Membership Benefits;
  • conduct that may reasonably be expected to harm Film Global or its Members; or
  • any other reason that Film Global reasonably determines makes continued membership inappropriate.

Termination shall become effective on the date specified in Film Global's notice unless otherwise stated.

10.3 Resignation by Member

A Member may resign membership at any time by providing notice in accordance with this Agreement. Resignation does not relieve the Member of any obligations that accrued before the effective date of resignation, including any payment obligations. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly approved by Film Global, Membership Dues previously paid remain non-refundable.

10.4 Effect of Suspension or Termination

Upon suspension or termination, Film Global may immediately revoke or restrict the Member's access to:

  • Membership Benefits;
  • the Membership Platform;
  • Club events;
  • Opportunities;

  • any other services or resources provided through membership.

Film Global may investigate any alleged violation of this Agreement. The Member agrees to cooperate reasonably with such investigation, provided that nothing herein requires the Member to waive any legal right or privilege. Film Global may make decisions based upon the information reasonably available to it and shall not be obligated to conduct any particular investigation before taking action under this Agreement.

10.8 Reinstatement

Following suspension or termination, Film Global may, in its sole discretion, reinstate a former Member upon such terms and conditions as it determines appropriate. No person whose membership has been suspended, terminated, or allowed to lapse has any right to reinstatement.

10.9 Reservation of Rights

The rights and remedies set forth in this Article are cumulative and may be exercised individually or in combination. Film Global's decision to suspend, terminate, decline to renew, or otherwise restrict membership shall not limit any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement or applicable law. The failure or delay by Film Global to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

This Agreement, the Member's membership, all Membership Benefits, all Club activities, any Opportunity, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to any of the foregoing shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Member's membership, Membership Benefits, Club activities, the Membership Platform, any Opportunity, or the relationship between Film Global and the Member shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator in Denver, Colorado, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.

  • Confidential Information;
  • Club Information;

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Member and Film Global agree that all disputes shall be brought solely in an individual capacity. Neither party shall bring, participate in, recover through, or serve as a representative in any class action, collective action, consolidated action, representative action, private attorney general action, or similar proceeding.

14.4 No Waiver

No failure or delay by Film Global in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy.

14.5 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
