Monthly Plan

Monthly Membership Terms

Automatic Billing

When you purchase a monthly membership, you authorize The Blake Collective, LLC to charge your payment method the rate you agreed to at the time of purchase, automatically every month, beginning on the date of your initial purchase and repeating every 30 days until you cancel. Your membership renews automatically. You will not receive a separate reminder before each charge.

Pricing

Your monthly rate is the rate displayed at checkout at the time of your purchase. We reserve the right to increase pricing for new members at any time. If we increase the price for existing members, we will provide advance notice. Your locked-in rate applies as long as your membership remains active and uninterrupted.

How to Cancel

You are responsible for canceling your membership. Cancellations must be completed inside your member portal at shortcut.theblakecollective.com. You have direct access to cancel at any time from within your account. We do not accept cancellation requests by email or social media message.

When you cancel, your access continues through the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again after that date. We do not prorate partial months.

Refund Policy

We do not offer refunds on monthly membership charges. Once a payment has processed, it is non-refundable. This applies to your initial payment and all renewal charges, regardless of whether you have logged in or used the membership during that billing period.

It is your responsibility to cancel before your next billing date if you no longer wish to be charged. If you believe a charge occurred in error, contact us at [email protected] and we will review it.

Lifetime Plan

Lifetime Access Terms

What "Lifetime Access" Means

A lifetime purchase grants you access to The Shortcut for the lifetime of the program. This means as long as The Shortcut exists and operates as an active membership, you have access. You will never be charged again.

In the event that The Shortcut is discontinued, we will provide reasonable advance notice to all lifetime members. Lifetime access does not extend to any other products, memberships, or programs offered by The Blake Collective, LLC.

One-Time Payment

Your lifetime membership is a single one-time payment at the rate displayed at checkout. There are no recurring charges, renewal fees, or additional costs to maintain your access. This option may not be available forever and the price may increase or the lifetime option may be removed entirely at our discretion.

Refund Policy

We do not offer refunds on lifetime membership purchases. All sales are final.

If you have a question or concern about your purchase, reach out to us at [email protected] and we will do our best to help.

Access & Your Account

Your Own Account Requirements

Some tools and workflows referenced inside The Shortcut require you to maintain your own account or subscription with a third-party platform. It is your responsibility to obtain and maintain any accounts required to use the tools Steph references. We are not responsible if a workflow or prompt does not function because you do not have the required third-party access.

AI Output Responsibility

You are solely responsible for how you use AI tools in your own business. AI tools generate outputs based on probabilistic models. Those outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or incomplete information. You agree that you are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving any AI-generated output before relying on, publishing, or acting on it. We make no guarantee regarding the accuracy, legality, or reliability of AI-generated outputs produced using any prompt or workflow shared inside this membership.

Affiliate Program

Overview

The Shortcut offers an affiliate program that allows approved participants to earn commissions by referring new members. Participation in the affiliate program is subject to the terms in this section as well as any additional affiliate program policies we maintain. By participating in the program, you agree to these terms.

Commission Structure

Monthly plan: Affiliates earn 30% of each monthly payment for as long as the referred member remains active. Commissions are recurring — you continue to earn each month the referred member stays subscribed.

Lifetime plan: Affiliates earn a one-time commission of 30% of the lifetime purchase price. No recurring commissions apply to lifetime referrals.

Application & Approval

Participation in the affiliate program requires an application. The Blake Collective, LLC reserves the right to approve or reject any application in its sole discretion, with no obligation to provide a reason for rejection. Acceptance into the program does not guarantee continued participation — we may terminate affiliate status at any time, with or without cause.

Commission Payments

Commissions are calculated on the net amount collected by The Blake Collective, LLC after any applicable fees, and are not paid on refunded, reversed, or charged-back transactions. We reserve the right to deduct previously paid commissions from future payments if a referred transaction is subsequently reversed or refunded.

We reserve the right to modify the commission structure at any time. Changes will apply to new referrals made after the change takes effect. We will provide reasonable notice of any commission rate changes.

Affiliate Conduct

As an affiliate, you agree to promote The Shortcut honestly and accurately. You may not make false, misleading, or exaggerated claims about the membership, its features, or expected results.

You are required to comply with all applicable FTC disclosure requirements and clearly disclose your affiliate relationship when promoting The Shortcut. Your statements must always reflect your honest and truthful experience and opinions.

Use of Brand Materials

We may provide you with approved promotional materials, graphics, and copy for use in promoting The Shortcut. You may only use materials we have explicitly provided or approved. You may not modify these materials or use The Blake Collective or The Shortcut branding in any way that is inaccurate, derogatory, or inconsistent with our brand standards. This license terminates immediately upon termination of your affiliate status.

No Commissions on Own Purchases

You are not entitled to earn commissions on your own purchases or on purchases made by immediate family members using your affiliate link.

Independent Contractor

Affiliates are independent contractors, not employees, partners, or agents of The Blake Collective, LLC. You have no authority to make commitments or enter into agreements on our behalf. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes on commissions you earn.

Termination & Forfeiture
