Terms and Conditions of Membership

Last Updated: May 7, 2025

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your relationship with Telco Club ("Telco Club," “the Club,” "we," "our," or "us"), a Doing Business As (D.B.A.) entity registered in the State of New York. By applying for membership, accessing the platform, or using any of the Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not access the Services.

1. Legal Structure and Relationship

1.1 No Telecom Reseller Status. Telco Club is not a telecommunications carrier, reseller, or regulated utility. The Club is a private membership association offering certain telecom-related benefits to its members solely as ancillary perks of membership. Any resemblance to traditional telecom services is incidental to the Club's internal operations.

1.2 No Agency Relationship. Your membership in Telco Club does not constitute an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship with the Club or any third-party providers.

1.3 D.B.A. Disclosure. "Telco Club" is a D.B.A. registered in New York, and all agreements herein are enforceable against the entity operating under that D.B.A.

2. Membership Eligibility and Obligations

2.1 Minimum Requirements. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, legally competent, and reside in a jurisdiction where Club membership is not prohibited by law.

2.2 Right of Refusal. Telco Club reserves the absolute right to accept, reject, suspend, or revoke membership at its sole discretion, with or without cause and without obligation to provide explanation.

2.3 Non-Transferability. Memberships are personal, non-transferable, and non-assignable. Any attempt to assign or sublicense membership privileges shall be void ab initio.

3. Fees, Payment, and Billing

3.1 Membership Dues. Members agree to pay all dues, fees, and charges applicable to their chosen membership plan. Dues are non-refundable unless required by law.

3.2 Recurring Billing. Memberships may renew automatically and be subject to recurring billing. By enrolling, you authorize Telco Club to charge your designated payment method unless you cancel before the renewal date.

3.3 Fee Adjustments. We may modify pricing at any time. Any such changes will be communicated in advance and apply prospectively.

4. Use of Club Services and Number Access

4.1 Scope of Services. Membership may include access to Club-managed telecom functionalities such as:

  • Phone number parking,

  • Number port-in and port-out facilitation (at Club discretion),

  • Temporary assignment of numbers,

  • Basic account dashboard tools.

4.2 No Ownership of Numbers. All phone numbers associated with Telco Club remain the sole property of the Club. Members receive limited, revocable access to assigned numbers as part of their active membership but do not obtain any ownership or transferable rights.

4.3 Revocation of Access. We reserve the right to reclaim, reassign, or retire any Club-managed number at our sole discretion, including in cases of non-payment, policy violation, or membership termination.

4.4 No Guarantee of Availability or Porting Success. Use of telecom services is provided on an as-available basis. Telco Club does not warrant that any number, port request, or feature will be successful, timely, or uninterrupted. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by third-party carriers or systems.

4.5 Usage Charges; International Use. You acknowledge and agree that any telecommunications usage charges incurred through your use of Club-managed numbers or lines—including but not limited to international calling, international roaming, messaging, data usage, and carrier-specific fees—are your sole responsibility.

Telco Club:

  • Disclaims any duty to monitor or restrict your usage;

  • Will directly bill you for all such charges using your stored payment method or through manual invoicing;

  • May suspend services or refer unpaid charges to collections.

You use all Club resources with full awareness that overages and international charges may apply, and you waive any claims related to unexpected usage fees.

5. Account Security and Acceptable Use

5.1 Account Access. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and restricting access to your account.

5.2 Acceptable Use. You agree not to use Club Services for:

  • Illegal, fraudulent, harassing, or abusive purposes;

  • Impersonation or identity misrepresentation;

  • Circumventing carrier rules or regulatory frameworks.

5.3 Suspicious Activity. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access without notice if we detect suspicious, abusive, or unauthorized activity.

6. Termination of Membership

6.1 By Member. You may cancel your membership at any time via your dashboard. No refunds will be provided for any unused portion of a billing period.

6.2 By Telco Club. We may suspend or terminate your membership at any time for cause or convenience. Termination may be immediate and without prior notice in cases of violation, fraud, or non-payment.

6.3 Effects of Termination. Upon termination:

  • All rights to use Club resources cease;

  • We may reassign or retire your number without notice;

  • Outstanding balances remain payable and may be collected.

7. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

7.4 Cap on Liability. Telco Club’s total liability to you for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to the Club in the preceding three (3) months.

  • International calls,

  • Roaming,

  • Premium-rate numbers,

  • Overages.

You accept full financial responsibility for such charges, and agree to reimburse the Club upon invoicing or via automatic billing. We do not provide alerts or usage caps, and your use of the Services constitutes full acceptance of these risks.

7.6 Force Majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war, system failures, regulatory changes, or cyberattacks.

8. Privacy and Data

8.1 Data Collection and Use. Your data is handled per our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

8.2 Legal Compliance. We may disclose data to comply with legal obligations, subpoenas, or regulatory authorities, and shall not be held liable for doing so in good faith.

9. Binding Arbitration; No Court Actions

9.1 Mandatory Arbitration. You and Telco Club agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, your membership, or use of the Services (including but not limited to contract, tort, statutory, or equitable claims), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration.

You expressly waive your right to file a lawsuit in court, including participation in a class or representative action, and agree that the only forum for resolving disputes shall be private arbitration as set forth below.

9.2 Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) then in effect, and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).

  • The seat of arbitration shall be New York County, New York.

  • The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.

  • The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to determine arbitrability, jurisdiction, and the enforceability of this clause.

  • The arbitration shall be confidential, and neither party may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without prior written consent, unless required by law.

9.3 Costs and Fees. Each party shall bear its own legal fees. Arbitration costs shall be divided equally unless the arbitrator rules otherwise in accordance with applicable law or the AAA’s rules.

9.4 No Class or Collective Actions. All disputes must be arbitrated on an individual basis only. You and Telco Club agree to waive any right to participate in or bring a class action, collective arbitration, or any representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

9.5 Limitation Period. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the date the claim arose, or it is forever barred, unless a shorter limitations period applies under applicable law.

9.6 Enforceability. This arbitration clause shall survive the termination of your membership, your relationship with Telco Club, and the expiration of these Terms. If any portion of this clause is found unenforceable, the remainder shall still be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10. Miscellaneous

10.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Telco Club and supersede all prior agreements, representations, or understandings.

10.2 Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms shall remain enforceable.

10.3 No Waiver. Failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of future enforcement.

10.4 Survival. Any provisions intended to survive termination (e.g., indemnities, disclaimers, payment obligations) shall remain in full force.
