No Pro-Rated Refunds: If you choose to cancel your membership mid-term, you will continue to have access to your benefits until the end of your current billing cycle. No partial or pro-rated refunds will be issued for "unused" months.

If you joined via our website, a one-step cancellation link is available in your Member Profile. Notice Period: To avoid being charged for a subsequent term, cancellation must be submitted at least three (3) business days before your next scheduled renewal date. Automatic Renewals: For annual memberships, the Society will send a renewal reminder via email 15–45 days before your account is charged. 3. Three-Day "Cooling Off" Period New members have the right to cancel their membership contract without penalty within three (3) business days of the initial purchase. To exercise this right, you must contact the general manager via the official Society support email within this 72-hour window. 4. Event & Ticket Policies Broadway & Third-Party Tickets: All sales for Broadway performances, comedy shows, or external events are strictly non-refundable. Once the Society has purchased a ticket on your behalf, we cannot offer a refund or exchange. The Society Table: Reservations for dinners and luncheons must be canceled at least 48 hours in advance. Failure to show for a confirmed reservation may result in a "No-Show Fee" or temporary suspension of dining privileges. 5. Conduct & The "Friar's Rule" The Society reserves the right to terminate any membership without refund if a member’s conduct is deemed contrary to the spirit of camaraderie, including but not limited to harassment, unauthorized sharing of the Membership Directory, or "unloving" behavior that violates our creed.
