Katalyst Terms & Conditions


 

MEMBERSHIP TERMS

 

Katalyst Consulting, LLC, is a Florida Limited Liability Company (“Katalyst” or “we”). Katalyst sponsors live and virtual events and hosts its website https://thedames.co/ and Facebook and other social media pages (collectively referred to as the “Website”) on which Members may create unique personal profiles in order to post content, view and download content, and interact with other Members.

 

These Membership Terms (“Terms”) are intended to address all relevant aspects of your membership in Katalyst, including your use of the Website. If you do not agree to comply with these Terms, you should not apply for membership in Katalyst and you should resign your membership and stop all use of the Website.

 

These Terms contain your legal rights and obligations, read them carefully.

 

MEMBERSHIP; VISITORS

 

If you are not a Member of Katalyst, you are considered a Visitor. Visitors to this Website and/or to Katalyst events will be subject to and must comply with these Terms. A Member is a natural person who has registered with Katalyst, been accepted for Membership, and paid all applicable fees. Members are also subject to and must comply with these Terms.

 

ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBERSHIP

 

Membership in Katalyst is by approval only. A prospective Member must meet the criteria set by Katalyst and submit a truthful and accurate membership application. Prospective Members must also be at least 18 years of age.

 

Katalyst will consider each application for the following minimum criteria:

 

  • Prospective Members who own a business that focuses on consulting, contract-based work or coaching; AND

  • Prospective Members who are a fit for Katalyst culture.

 

Katalyst may modify the membership criteria at any time, at its sole discretion. Katalyst may also conduct ongoing or periodic self-reported revenue verification for its Members, at its sole discretion.

 

Katalyst does not admit Members who are with companies that engage in multi-level marketing, networking marketing, or similar companies (“MLM”s). Most people who join MLMs make little or no money. Some of them lose money. In some cases, people believe they have joined a legitimate MLM but it turns out to be an illegal pyramid scheme. Katalyst does not have the resources to determine whether your MLM company is legitimate or not. It is therefore the policy of Katalyst to exclude all such companies. If Katalyst determines that your company fits this description, your membership will be denied and/or terminated.
