Membership Terms

Professional membership pays for the platform and community functions: a professional profile, needs and offers, personal recommendations of relevant contacts with your consent, messaging under the connection and consent rules, offers and requests, and the voluntary tools Get to know yourself, My map and My next step. Partner offers are available under each partner's own terms. Coaching, mentoring sessions, workshops and events, and individual expert services are not automatically included in or paid by the subscription; access, booking and payment depend on each offer.

Business membership includes up to 3 named employees and 4 coworking days per month per person in a partner space, not in a club of our own. Partnership includes communication about published offers and requests after the post owner approves a contact request; personal networking is available through a separate membership. Student access includes self-discovery tools, posts, and events specifically opened to students, but not personal matching with Professional members. COWONDER Credits are planned and in development; they are not an active or guaranteed membership benefit. A detailed list of benefits is available on the Membership page.

Membership is by application. A person from the team reviews every application; a short online interview normally follows, which the team may skip for people it has already met. We reserve the discretion to accept or decline without explanation. After approval we send an email invitation; approved members get immediate free platform access until the planned billing start on 1 January 2027. An application creates no payment obligation and is never billed automatically.

The following rules apply only to paid membership, which starts only after we present the package, price and terms and you accept them.

• Membership is billed in advance (monthly or annually, depending on tier).
• Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 14 days before renewal.
• Prices are in EUR, including VAT where applicable.
• Unused monthly allowances (hours, days) do not roll over into the next month.

You may cancel at any time from your dashboard or by email. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we do not refund unused periods except where required by law.

Cowonder has no club or spaces of its own. Where membership includes use of a partner space, access is personal, non-transferable and subject to that partner's rules. Cowonder reserves the right to restrict such access in cases of house-rule violations, inappropriate behavior, or outstanding payments.

Cowonder may suspend or terminate membership without refund in cases of (a) serious or repeated breaches of the Community Guidelines, (b) misrepresentation, (c) abuse of the platform or a partner space, (d) non-payment.

These terms may be updated. Members will be notified of material changes at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the membership after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
