Enrollment & Billing Disclosures

Version 4.0 · Effective 29 September 2026

This document records the disclosures presented to a customer at each stage of enrollment and billing, and the exact wording used. It is reproduced here so that the consent process can be reviewed in full.

1. How enrollment works

The VIP Club is sold as a discrete catalogue item named "VIP Club Membership." A customer joins by deliberate action: by ticking its own unticked opt-in box at checkout, or from the membership's own product page.

Controls applied at enrollment:

• The item is never pre-selected and is never added to a cart unless the customer chooses to join.
• The standard Add to Cart button on every product page adds only the product, and is labelled to say so. Buying a product never requires joining, and the membership is not presented as a discount, shipping option, or condition of purchase.
• There is no button on any merchandise page that bundles the membership into a product order. Merchandise pages sell merchandise only.
• Where the membership is offered, the recurring terms are shown in full, in the same size as the surrounding text, directly beneath the control that adds it: always visible, never collapsed and never behind a link.
• Consent to the recurring charge is captured by a dedicated, unticked checkbox that consents to the recurring charge and nothing else. It is not combined with acceptance of the Terms of Service, age confirmation, or marketing opt-in.
• At checkout, the same terms appear in three places — beneath the express payment buttons, beneath the Pay Now button, and beside the membership line in the order summary, where a checkbox the customer can untick removes the membership from the order before payment is authorised.
• Nothing elsewhere on the page contradicts the disclosure block.

2. The disclosure block, as displayed

• Before you join
• You'll be charged $29.99 today. After that, $29.99 every 28 days, until you cancel. There is no free trial.
• Your membership and your first $29.99 of VIP Credit start immediately. There is no waiting period.
• Each $29.99 charge adds $29.99 in VIP Credit to spend on anything in the store.
• Your VIP Credit never expires. Cancel and you keep it.
• Skip any cycle before your billing date and you won't be charged.
• If your credit reaches $59.98 unspent, we pause your billing automatically and email you.
• We email you three days before every renewal, with one-click links to skip or cancel.
• This will appear on your statement as MERRYJAMMIES.SHOP.
• Cancel any time — one form online, or call (470) 552-6061, answered by a real person 24/7.
• ☐ I understand I'm joining a membership that will charge my card $29.99 today and every 28 days after that, until I cancel.
• [ ADD VIP CLUB MEMBERSHIP — $29.99 TODAY ]

The same block, abbreviated to the price, the renewal date, the descriptor and the cancellation link, is repeated in the cart and on the checkout page beside the VIP line item.

8. Consent record retained

At enrollment we record, and retain for not less than three years (or one year after termination, whichever is longer): the timestamp of consent, the customer account, the version of the disclosure shown and the full text as rendered, the state of the consent checkbox and its exact label, the price and billing interval displayed, the order and subscription references, and the confirmation email with its delivery timestamp.

For each billing cycle we record the charge reference, the credit balance before and after, and every redemption.

Every cancellation request is logged with its timestamp, channel, completion status and confirmation email. The cancellation log is reviewed daily.
