Effective date: September 2, 2026
Plain-English summary: Founding Member is an annual subscription to Aurelo Gold at a locked-in rate of $50 per year. It is not a one-time payment for lifetime access. You will be charged $50 every year on your renewal date until you cancel. As long as you stay subscribed, your price never goes up, even if we raise Gold prices later. You buy it in the app through the App Store or Google Play, and you cancel it there too.
1. Overview
During Aurelo’s launch quarter (the three months beginning on the date Aurelo becomes publicly available, or until the program cap of one hundred (100) participants is reached, whichever is sooner), Aurelo is offering a limited Founding Member program. The exact window is published on getaurelo.app and in the App when the program opens.
These Founding Member Program Terms supplement and form part of the Aurelo Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the general Terms of Service, these Terms control with respect to the Founding Member program.
2. What You Get
As a Founding Member, you receive:
- A Gold subscription at the locked-in price of $50.00 per year. This is the recurring annual subscription rate.
- Protection from future Gold price increases. Even when Aurelo raises the standard Gold subscription price in later years, your annual renewal price stays $50.00, provided your subscription remains continuously active.
- All Gold tier features as they exist now and as they evolve over time.
- A Founding Member badge on your Aurelo profile. The badge records when you joined, so you keep it even if your subscription later ends.
3. What This Is — and What It Is Not
THE FOUNDING MEMBER PROGRAM IS A RECURRING ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION. IT IS NOT A ONE-TIME PAYMENT FOR LIFETIME ACCESS. YOU WILL BE CHARGED $50.00 EVERY YEAR ON YOUR RENEWAL DATE UNTIL YOU CANCEL.
“Locked-in pricing for life” means that your subscription price is locked at $50.00 per year for as long as you remain continuously subscribed. It does not mean:
- That you have paid up your subscription forever.
- That you can cancel and later resubscribe at the locked-in rate.
- That your subscription will never end.
If your subscription lapses for any reason, whether by your cancellation, by failed payment, or by any other interruption, your locked-in rate is forfeited. If you later wish to resubscribe, you will pay the then-current standard Gold subscription rate, not $50.00. Your Founding Member badge is not affected; it stays on your profile. Aurelo will not run a second Founding Member cohort, and there is no path to restore the locked-in rate after lapse.
4. Eligibility and Cap
To enroll as a Founding Member, you must:
- Be eligible to use Aurelo under the general Terms of Service (Section 4).
- Purchase the Founding Member subscription in the Aurelo app during the program window.
- Have a valid payment method on file with the App Store or Google Play.
The program is capped at one hundred (100) total participants. Once one hundred (100) Founding Member subscriptions have been sold, the program closes. Any attempted purchase after the cap is reached will fail and no charge will be made.
Aurelo will not run a second Founding Member cohort. Aurelo will not extend the window. Aurelo will not increase the cap.
5. Billing
Founding Member subscriptions are purchased and billed as an in-app purchase through the Apple App Store or Google Play, using the payment method on file with that store. Aurelo never sees or stores your card details.
Billing terms:
- You will be charged $50.00 at the time of initial purchase.
- Your subscription renews automatically each year on the anniversary of your initial purchase, at $50.00 per year, until you cancel.
- Apple and Google send their own renewal reminders under their store policies.
- Applicable taxes are calculated and added by the store at the time of charge.
6. Cancellation
You may cancel your Founding Member subscription at any time, in the store that sold it to you:
- iPhone or iPad: Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions, then Aurelo, then Cancel Subscription.
- Android: Google Play, then Menu, then Subscriptions, then Aurelo, then Cancel.
Aurelo cannot cancel a store subscription for you, because Aurelo does not control the billing relationship. If you have trouble finding the setting, email support@getaurelo.app and we will walk you through it.
Cancellation is effective at the end of your current paid period. You keep Gold access through that date. No refunds are issued for partial periods, except where required by applicable law.
Cancelling forfeits your locked-in $50.00 rate. If you later resubscribe, you will pay the then-current standard Gold rate. Your Founding Member badge stays on your profile.
7. Refunds
Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Apple and Google under their own policies, not by Aurelo. Request one through the store that sold you the subscription. Aurelo cannot issue, approve or decline a store refund. Where applicable law gives you a refund right, that right is unaffected by this section. If your Founding Member subscription is terminated by Aurelo for cause, such as a material violation of the Terms of Service, Aurelo will not issue a separate refund.
8. Failed Renewals
If your annual renewal payment fails, for example because your card expired or your bank declined the charge, the store handles the retry under its own billing-grace policy and will contact you to update your payment method. Aurelo suspends Gold access at the end of your current paid period if the renewal cannot be completed.
If the store completes the renewal within thirty (30) days of the original renewal date, your locked-in $50.00 rate is preserved and your subscription continues uninterrupted. If thirty (30) days pass without a successful payment, your subscription is treated as cancelled and your locked-in rate is forfeited. Your Founding Member badge is not affected.
9. Aurelo Discontinuation
If Aurelo permanently discontinues the Gold subscription tier or shuts down the service, your Founding Member subscription will end and no further charges will be made. Aurelo will provide as much advance notice as practicable. Aurelo’s obligation in such an event is limited to a pro rata refund of the unused portion of your most recent annual payment, where required by applicable law.
10. Founding Member Status Is Personal and Non-Transferable
Founding Member status is tied to your Aurelo account. It is non-transferable. You may not sell, gift, or assign Founding Member status to another person. If your account is closed, your Founding Member status ends with it.
11. Disputes
Disputes related to the Founding Member program are governed by the dispute resolution provisions of the Aurelo Terms of Service (Section 15), including the binding individual arbitration clause and the class action waiver.
12. Changes to These Terms
Aurelo may update these Founding Member Program Terms from time to time. For material changes, Aurelo will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice by email. Material changes that would adversely affect your locked-in price or the core benefits described in Section 2 will not apply to your Founding Member subscription as long as it remains continuously active. Other material changes (such as updates to the cancellation procedure or to billing-administration mechanics) take effect for all Founding Members on the stated effective date.
