Membership Terms & Conditions

This Membership Terms & Conditions ("Agreement") is a binding contract entered into by and between the undersigned individual or entity ("Member") and 5D PROGRAM LTD, having its principal place of business at 128 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX ("Company").

By enrolling in the 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program Membership ("Membership"), the Member agrees to be bound by the following terms and conditions:

Membership Access and Duration:

The Membership grants the Member full access to the 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program content, including but not limited to the Deal Maker Roadmap, industry reports, case studies, webinars, workshops, and any associated resources, for the specified duration of the Membership sign-up period.

The Membership is effective from the date of enrolment and remains active for the period specified in your enrolment email (“the Membership Period”). The date of enrolment is the date that you pay the agreed Membership Fee.

Fees, Right to Cancel and Non-Refundable Membership

The membership fee for the Membership Period is set out in your enrolment email and is payable immediately.

If you use finance to pay the Membership Fee, you are responsible for taking independent financial and legal advice to ensure that the finance terms and arrangements are suitable for you.

If you have enrolled to pay the membership fee as an individual, then clauses 6-9 apply. If you have enrolled to pay the membership fee as a company clauses 6-9 do not apply and there is no cooling off period.

Non-corporate subscribers have 14 days after the date of enrolment as set out in clause 2, during which you may change your mind and request a full refund of your Membership fee (“the Cancellation Period”). This right to cancel during the Cancellation Period is conditional upon you not having participated in the 5D Private M&A Group and/or viewed any of the program material including but not limited to the Deal Maker Roadmap, webinars, workshops, access to the 5D Private M&A Group, and any other program materials.

If you view any content and/or actively participate in the 5D Private M&A Group during the Cancellation Period, you lose your right to cancel your Membership and obtain a refund of the Membership Fee.

If you access any of the 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program content before the expiration of the 14 days’ cancellation period, you will be required to pay the full Membership Fee to 5D PROGRAM LTD even if you seek to cancel your membership within the 14 day period. Once you have accessed any content your membership fee is non-refundable.

If you wish to change your mind and cancel your membership during the 14 days’ cooling-off period before you have accessed any of the 5D Private M&A Group material, any request to cancel must be submitted in writing via email to [email protected]. The date and time of the refund request will be based on the email timestamp.

Once you access the 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program content, you will have unrestricted access to the Deal Maker Roadmap, a comprehensive and proprietary guide providing education, insights, and guidance pertaining to mergers and acquisitions.

If the Membership Fee is not paid on time, we reserve the right to withhold access to the 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program content, until such time as any overdue payments are paid. Notwithstanding, access to the 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program content is withheld, the Membership Fee remains due and owing.

Members using finance/installments are responsible for their chosen provider's terms and remain liable for full payment.

The Xchange Access:

The Membership grants the Member access to the 5D Xchange, an interactive and collaborative networking platform tailored for M&A professionals. This includes the ability to watch back content from live events, such as Zoom calls and training sessions, within the 5D Xchange.

The 5D Xchange access is subject to the terms and conditions outlined by 5D PROGRAM LTD and the 5D Xchange platform.

Access to Private 5D M&A Facebook Group:

The Membership includes access to the private 5D M&A Facebook Group, which allows Members to connect, share insights, and engage with other Members in the 5D M&A community.

The Member agrees to abide by the group rules and guidelines set forth by the administrators of the Facebook group.

Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure:

The Member agrees to maintain strict confidentiality and non-disclosure of all proprietary and confidential information obtained as part of the Membership, including the Deal Maker Roadmap, Rewind Portal content, 5D Xchange discussions, and any other proprietary resources provided.

The Member shall not reproduce, distribute, or share any confidential materials without explicit written consent from 5D PROGRAM LTD.

Exclusion of One-on-One Consultations:

Membership in the 5D Program entitles individuals to group membership benefits exclusively. It does not inherently include one-on-one consultations with Dee Ludlow or the program team.

Should members desire one-on-one consultations with Dee Ludlow or the team, such services will be offered at an additional cost and will require a separate contractual agreement.

Hot Seat:

In relation to the "Hot Seat," this includes a 45-minute call with Dee Ludlow or senior team in which a form must be submitted to be considered. This time is used to help the client structure a deal, to ask any questions they may have around a deal they may currently be working on.

The "Hot Seat" works on a first-come, first-served basis, and each member can have a maximum of one "Hot Seat" per month.

Membership Behaviour:

All members must behave respectfully towards our staff and officers. We adopt a zero tolerance policy towards abusive or harassing behaviour and in the case of such behaviour we reserve the right to terminate your membership with immediate effect and without any refund of your Membership Fee which you will forfeit.

Termination:

Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within 14 days of receiving written notice of the breach.

Notice:

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by prepaid first-class post, fax, or email to 5D PROGRAM LTD at its registered office above or by email to [email protected].

Assignment:

The Member may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of 5D PROGRAM LTD.

Force Majeure:

Neither party shall be liable to the other for any failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement which is due to an event beyond the control of such party, including but not limited to any Act of God, terrorism, war, political insurgency, insurrection, riot, civil unrest, act of civil or military authority, uprising, earthquake, flood, pestilence or disease outbreak, lock down or any other natural or man-made eventuality outside of the party's control.

Data Protection:

The parties agree to comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations concerning the processing of personal data under this Agreement.

How we use any personal data you give us is set out in our Privacy Notice.

Other Important Terms Apply To The Membership Agreement

5DP Group Ltd can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your service. We'll tell you in writing if this happens and we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under this Agreement.

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. We may not agree. Membership privileges are non-transferable and may not be assigned or transferred to any other individual or entity without prior written consent from 5D PROGRAM LTD.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.

By enrolling in 5D PROGRAM LTD’S 5D Mergers & Acquisitions Program Membership, the Member acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement.
