Membership terms

The essentials

• Founding Membership costs US$15, paid once. It is not a subscription and no further payment is ever taken.
• It runs from the day you join to 30 April 2029, the end of Season One.
• You have 14 days from joining to change your mind and receive a full refund.

1. What membership includes

• The right to reserve places on Season One voyages
• Your Founding Member number, recorded on the club register
• First access to every Atelier drop
• Access to the members' community as it opens

Membership is provided by UIE Ltd. It gives you the right to reserve voyage places while places remain; it does not guarantee that a place will be available in a particular month. Members are numbered in the order they join.

2. Joining and payment

You must be 18 or over. Your membership starts when your payment is taken, and we email you a confirmation with your member number. The price at checkout is the whole price. Prices are in US dollars; your card provider sets the exchange rate.

3. Your right to change your mind

You may cancel within 14 days of joining, without giving a reason, for a full refund. Tell us by email at reservations@obsidianvoyages.com or by any other clear statement. We refund the card you paid with within 14 days.

If you reserve a voyage place within those 14 days you are asking us to begin the service straight away. You may still cancel your membership, and if you do we cancel and refund in full any voyage reservation made with it.

4. After the 14 days

The join fee is not refundable after 14 days, except where the law says otherwise or as set out below. If we cannot run Season One, we refund your join fee in full.

5. Personal to you

Membership is personal and cannot be transferred or sold. A voyage reservation can be transferred only to another member, as the reservation terms explain.

6. If we end your membership

We may end a membership that is used to resell places, or for serious misuse such as abusive behaviour towards our crew, our team or other members. We tell you why in writing, and we refund the join fee.

7. What membership is not

Membership is a club service. It is not an investment, a share, a loan or an ownership interest in the yacht or in UIE Ltd, and it earns no return.

8. Our responsibility to you

We provide membership with reasonable care and skill. If it is not as described you are entitled to have it put right or to a price reduction. We do not exclude or limit our liability where the law does not allow it, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, and for your legal rights as a consumer.
