Effective Date: February 01, 2025 (updated on March 08, 2025)

These Terms of Service ("Agreement") govern your participation in the MBAide membership program ("Membership"). By joining and using the MBAide platform, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms:

1. Membership Benefits

1.1 Premium Membership Benefits
As a Premium Member, you receive access to the following services:

Full access to the MBAide platform: Unlock all resources, tools, and networking opportunities.
Profile Promotion: Your profile will be promoted on the platform and social channels to increase visibility. Additionally, we may use your information to promote our services, showcasing your expertise as part of our offerings.
Client Matchmaking: Up to two free client matchmaking services per month. Additional client matchmaking services will be available at a fee or the fee may be waived at the discretion of L’Associare, as outlined below. As part of our Premium Membership, MBAides will gain priority consideration for client matchmaking services. We aim to connect you with the right opportunities that align with your expertise and goals. While we strive to provide 1–2 client introductions per month depending on demand and availability, we are committed to ensuring quality matches that benefit both you and the clients. Our focus is on fostering meaningful, value-driven connections that help you grow your professional network and freelance career.
LinkedIn Profile Reviews: Premium members are entitled to up to two quarterly LinkedIn profile reviews per paid subscription year. The first review is available immediately upon activation of a paid Premium subscription. To qualify for the second review, members must maintain paid Premium membership for at least three consecutive months. LinkedIn reviews must be used within the 12-month subscription period and do not roll over to subsequent subscription years. Additional reviews are available at a fee.
Personalized Support: Once a month, receive a 20-minute session for one-on-one guidance when faced with a business challenge.
Exclusive Access: Participate in mastermind sessions, coaching opportunities, premium training, and virtual events.

1.2 Basic Membership Benefits

Basic Members have access to limited features, including:

2. Membership Fees and Payments

2.1 Premium Membership Fees

The Premium Membership subscription fee is billed monthly on a recurring basis. Payments are due on the designated billing date. Members can request to switch from a monthly to an annual subscription at any time. The update will take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. However, if members do not complete the enrollment for the annual plan, their monthly subscription will continue as usual. For annual subscriptions, the membership will automatically renew annually unless the member opts to switch to a monthly plan before the renewal date.

Premium Members are entitled to the following free services:
