They do not, by themselves, grant or regulate paid membership rights, ArtsDAO platform rights, Clubhouse access rights, event participation rights, renewal rights, refund rights, guest rights, or any other rights that are subject to separate terms accepted at the relevant time.

Access to any membership, Clubhouse, event, experience, partner benefit, or Digital Service may be subject to separate terms, eligibility criteria, availability, approval, payment, identity checks, House Rules, or other requirements.

4.2 Pricing and Fees

Any membership fees, admission fees, renewal fees, event fees, package prices, partner pricing, discounts, or other amounts displayed on the Website are indicative only and may be updated, corrected, withdrawn, or changed at any time.

These Website Terms are intended to govern use of the Website only and should not be interpreted as granting any membership, payment, platform, Clubhouse, or event rights.
