ENCODED Membership uses a simple, transparent billing system designed to make your experience smooth from day one.


Here’s exactly how billing works, based on our official Terms of Service.


1. Your First Payment Includes Two Parts

🔹 Activation Fee — $1,500 (one-time)

This covers your full onboarding experience, including:

  • Your Frequency Mapping Activation

  • Personalized setup of your ENCODED System

  • Your Frequency Imprinting Blueprint

  • Support to help you successfully implement the daily routines

This fee is charged once, at the moment you enroll, and is non-refundable.

🔹 Membership Fee — $249/month

Your membership begins immediately after checkout and includes:

  • Access to the ENCODED System

  • Monthly shipment of the ENCODED Anchor Journal

  • Access to the Frequency Network (The Grid)

  • Continued upgrades, tools, and evolving features

  • Web app access + future mobile app

  • Ongoing support

Your first monthly membership charge is processed at the time of enrollment.


2. Membership Is Billed Every 30 Days

ENCODED Membership renews automatically every 30 days based on the date you joined.

Example:


If you join on March 10, your next billing date is April 9.

This cycle repeats unless you cancel before your next renewal date.


3. Billing Through Stripe

All payments are securely handled by Stripe, including:

  • Your Activation Fee

  • Monthly Membership charges

  • Payment method updates

  • Failed payment retries

Stripe ensures banking-level security and encryption.


4. Updating Your Payment Method

You can update your credit card or payment method anytime inside your Member Dashboard. Changes take effect immediately for future billing cycles.


5. What If Your Payment Fails?

If a payment fails (expired card, insufficient funds, etc.):

  • Stripe will automatically retry the payment

  • You’ll receive email notifications to update your payment method

  • Access to membership will pause after 7 days if unresolved

Once your payment method is updated, membership access is restored automatically.


6. Cancellation Policy

You can cancel anytime before your next billing date.

  • Your membership remains active through the end of the current billing cycle

  • No prorated or partial refunds

  • Activation Fees are non-refundable

  • Cancelling stops future monthly charges

A separate article will cover the full cancellation process.


7. Price Changes

If membership pricing ever changes, you’ll be notified before your next billing cycle.
Continuing your membership after notification implies acceptance of the new pricing.


Summary

Billing is simple:

  • $1,500 Activation Fee (one-time, due at sign-up)

  • $249 per month (billed every 30 days)

  • Automatic renewals until cancellation

  • Payment managed securely through Stripe
