Meetup Agreement

This agreement is between Seth Wylie Services, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, and you, the individual participant. You must be 18 or older and able to enter this agreement. If an employer, organization, or anyone else pays for your subscription — whether for you alone or as part of a team — the agreement is still between you and me, and the obligations described here apply to you as the participant. The payer is not a party to it.

Throughout this agreement, "I," "me," and "my" refer to Seth Wylie Services, LLC — not to Seth Wylie individually. "You" and "your" refer to you, the participant.

The Society of AI Explorers is a slate of group conversations on video call, announced a month at a time on thewildedge.ai/sessions. Each session is one hour, facilitated, and focused on the topic described for it there. You register for the sessions you want; you show up; what happens emerges from the exchange among everyone in the room. My role is to make that exchange possible: preparation, facilitation, and attentive curation. I may or may not bring content to deliver to the group.

Your membership covers sessions across the whole slate. A Partial Membership covers two sessions a month. A Full Membership covers as many sessions as you like, plus high-level notes from sessions you missed and the other benefits described on thewildedge.ai. If you attend more than you're paying for, I'll ask you to bump up your membership.

Sessions are scheduled a month at a time and published on thewildedge.ai/sessions. You register for each session you want to attend through its Zoom registration link. Each session stands on its own — no prep beforehand, no homework after, no continuing threads between sessions.

If you miss a session, you miss it, apart from the notes Full Members receive; individual sessions don't carry over or get rescheduled for individuals or groups. Your membership gives you access to the sessions it covers for as long as they continue.

Sessions are transcribed, which helps me review and synthesize what happens across meetups. They are confidential under Section 06, and they may inform the anonymized patterns I write about publicly — but they are never published or shared.

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel 24/7 through Stripe's customer portal.

If using a discount coupon, your subscription may not require a payment method. If the discount later ends or the subscription would otherwise become paid, I will ask for your separate express consent before any charge.

If you cancel. You may cancel at any time through Stripe's customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you keep access through the paid period, and no partial-month refund is issued.

If I reschedule a session. If I cancel or move a session you've registered for to a time you cannot attend, you may email [email protected] within 14 days of the rescheduled session to request a pro-rata refund for that session. The refund is calculated as the monthly fee divided by the number of sessions your membership covers that month: two for a Partial Membership, and for a Full Membership, the number of sessions scheduled that month.

If I stop running sessions. I may stop running Society sessions altogether with at least two weeks' notice to all members. When I do, I end your membership and issue a pro-rata refund for the unused calendar days remaining in your current billing period.

If I end your participation. See Section 11.

Refunds are issued to your original payment method through Stripe.

Confidentiality in a group setting has two layers.

My obligation. What you share in a meetup is thinking material for me — I synthesize across sessions, notice patterns, and use what I learn to inform my own practice and writing. What I won't do is share anything in a way that identifies you personally.

In practice, that means: I may write or speak about patterns I notice across my facilitation work, but I remove names, identifying details, and anything specific enough that a reader who knows you could recognize you. If I want to quote you directly — in writing, marketing, or a conversation — I will ask your written permission first. I don't publish or share transcripts, recordings, or raw session content with anyone outside the room.

Two exceptions override the above: if I am legally compelled to disclose information (e.g., subpoena or court order), and if I reasonably believe you or someone else is at imminent risk of serious harm, including harm to self. If I ever believe I need to act on the second exception, I will tell you first unless doing so would increase the risk.

Participants' obligation. What you share in a meetup is heard by everyone in the room. Confidentiality toward other participants therefore depends on everyone in the room, not just on me. I ask all participants to follow Chatham House Rules: you may share what was discussed and what you learned, but you may not identify who said what or attribute specific contributions to specific people. This is a community norm I ask of participants. I cannot enforce it against other participants or guarantee that everyone will follow it.

These confidentiality obligations continue after your subscription ends and do not expire.

Participating in a meetup means showing up with a basic commitment to the shape of the space:

Respectful participation. Engage with other participants as peers in a shared conversation. Give others room to speak. Disagree substantively when you do; avoid personal attacks.

No solicitation. Meetups are not a place to promote events, products, services, newsletters, or causes — even relevant ones. If something is genuinely useful, share your experience with it, not a link.

Stay in the container. Each session has its own scope and focus, described on thewildedge.ai/sessions. I may redirect conversation that drifts into territory outside that scope — including therapy, legal advice, or other material the format is not designed to hold.

Confidentiality toward other participants. See Section 06.

Anything you bring to a meetup — what you share, the work you describe, the systems you are building — remains yours. Anything you produce during or after a meetup based on the conversation — prompts, configurations, notes, your own self-knowledge documents — also remains yours.

I treat your materials with care, and use reasonable measures to keep them confidential. My pre-existing facilitation methods, frameworks, and tools remain my intellectual property. Participating in a meetup does not transfer that methodology to you.

Meetups are collaborative. I bring facilitation, preparation, and care; you bring your effort, curiosity, and willingness to engage. I don't guarantee specific outcomes — your results will depend on what you do with the work.

AI tools are probabilistic and can produce errors, omissions, or confident-sounding mistakes. Anything we explore or build during a meetup — prompts, configurations, workflows, drafts, code, or scripts — is for your review and judgment before you rely on it. I don't guarantee that any specific AI tool will remain available or keep behaving the way it did in a session.

The tools and systems you build during or after a meetup run on your devices and under your control. You are responsible for how you use them, how you keep them secure, and anything that happens as a result of your use. If your use leads to a claim against me by someone else, you will be responsible for the costs I incur defending against that claim and for any damages I end up owing, except where the claim is based on my own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

Beyond what this agreement specifically says, I make no warranties — express or implied — about the meetups, any materials created during or after a meetup, or the AI tools we use. Nothing in this paragraph limits any protection that Massachusetts law (including chapter 93A) does not allow me to disclaim.

My total liability to you for anything arising from this agreement is limited to the amount you have paid in your current monthly billing period. I am not liable for consequential, incidental, or indirect losses. Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or claims under Massachusetts General Laws chapter 93A.

There are three ways this engagement can end.

You cancel. You may cancel at any time through Stripe's customer portal, effective at the end of your current billing period. See Section 05.

I stop running sessions. I may stop running Society sessions altogether with at least two weeks' notice to all members. I issue a pro-rata refund for the unused calendar days remaining in your current billing period. See Section 05.

I end your participation. I may end your participation at any time, for any reason. This can take the form of removing you from a single session or ending your membership entirely. I will tell you in writing when I end your membership, and I will issue a pro-rata refund for the unused calendar days remaining in your current billing period.

"Written notice" under this agreement means an email — from me, to the email address associated with your subscription; from you, to [email protected].

If circumstances beyond either party's reasonable control — such as serious illness, natural disaster, internet or platform outages, or government action — prevent a session from happening, I will reschedule the session for the group at the next feasible time, or offer an alternative. If the disruption continues for more than sixty days, either of us may end the engagement under Section 11.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Before any legal proceedings, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve disputes through direct conversation. If direct conversation does not resolve the dispute within thirty days, both parties agree to attempt non-binding mediation with a mutually agreed mediator before pursuing litigation. Any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall take place exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts, and both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. While we are in direct conversation or mediation under this section, the statute of limitations on any related claim is paused from the date either of us sends written notice of the dispute until thirty days after mediation ends or until one of us withdraws from mediation in writing, whichever comes first. We will share the mediator's fee equally, unless we agree otherwise at the time.

If any provision of this agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Any invalid provision shall be interpreted or reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and to preserve the original intent of the parties. This agreement is binding upon and will benefit the parties and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

This document is the entire agreement between us about your membership and your participation in sessions, and it replaces any earlier conversations, emails, or proposals on the same subject. I may update these terms from time to time; the version in effect is always the version posted at this URL. Material changes will be communicated to active subscribers by email at least thirty days before they take effect. You may cancel before any material change takes effect if you disagree with it. Continued participation after a material change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

Any notice under this agreement should be sent by email: from me, to the email address associated with your subscription; from you, to [email protected]. Neither of us may assign this agreement to someone else, except that I may assign it to a successor entity that takes over my practice. If I don't enforce a provision in one instance, that doesn't mean I've given up the right to enforce it later. Section headings are for convenience and don't affect interpretation.

I am an independent contractor. Nothing in this agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between us.

You accept this agreement by buying a membership and indicating on the checkout page that you agree to these terms. Updates to these terms are handled as described in Section 15. By buying a membership and indicating your agreement, you are signing this agreement electronically; your electronic acceptance has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under the federal ESIGN Act and the Massachusetts Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
