NEW LEAF may provide you with access to office space, work stations, Internet access, office equipment, meeting space, knowledge resources, and other services as NEW LEAF may provide from time to time (collectively, “Services”). The Services at all times are subject to the TOU.
Membership commitments can be made for a month, a quarter, or a year. Members are responsible to pay for the entire length of their selected Membership commitment period and must pay at the beginning of each period. Read below for additional specific details regarding each payment option.
Upon signing this contract, you are committed to the chosen Membership commitment period and are responsible for the entire payment. Early termination is not an option. No refunds will be given if you choose to terminate involvement with NEW LEAF before the Membership commitment period is complete.
Your choice to terminate a membership agreement must occur 30 days prior to the start of the next payment period for all three of the membership payment commitments (monthly, quarterly, annual). If notice of termination occurs less than 30 days prior to the start of the next payment period, you are responsible for the cost of the next payment period. The membership agreement will be terminated and your payments will halt if and only if NEW LEAF is notified of termination 30 days prior to the next period.
Failure to submit payment upon the start of a payment period will result in early termination of your NEW LEAF membership.
Month
Memberships must be paid at minimum in monthly installments, with the first installment paid upon the signing of this contract and each subsequent installment paid by the first of every month. If membership begins before or after the first of the month, the monthly rate will be prorated depending on when the initial day of involvement occurs.
Annual
Annual payments can begin at any time throughout the year. Annual memberships will begin upon the signing of this contract and last until the same date the following year. Membership can be renewed if each subsequent installment is paid by the membership start date each following year. Annual payments receive a 10% discount every year.
Acceptable forms of payment include cash, credit card, personal or business checks, or money orders. Checks may be payable to New Leaf Initiative. Payment can be delivered in person or by mail to:
New Leaf Initiative 243 South Allen Street Suite 337 State College, PA 16801
