The offer, without ambiguity. If a detail is not confirmed, we will say so.

888 SOCIETYBY APPLICATION ONLY

What exists today?

Available now: online applications, the Council of Eight and the public Charter roll. Confirmed with a date: Chapter I · Los Angeles opens March 8, 2027; venue pending. Planned — subject to final confirmation: gatherings, member pages, introductions and private tools.

02

What is the rhythm of the Society?

03

Can I pay and become a member?

05

Is this an MLM?

No. Membership is a private community service. The active referral program is one level only: no downlines, no teams and no pay for recruiting referrers. No income is promised or projected. A signed Referral Agreement governs eligible members.

06

What is the Council of Eight?

Available now: eight named honorary and advisory chairs, 001–008. James Fritz is Founder and Seat 001. The Founder retains final authority. A chair is not ownership, a vote or a purchasable seat.

08

Can I apply directly for II° or III°?

Available now: choose any of the three degrees in your application. A preference is not admission. Your written invitation states the degree, price, term and confirmed benefits before you sign your membership agreement.

09

Does every member receive a personal link?

Planned — subject to final confirmation. Member profile (planned). Your profile is optional. You choose whether to create one and what it shows (for example, company, role and a short bio).

We do not sell or share your profile information. See our Privacy Policy. Every degree includes that link; degrees differ by profile depth, never by whether the link is included.

10

Is a member page a separate website?

No. A planned member page sits inside the private member area of 888society.club. It is visible only to signed-in members, never to the public, and it is not indexed by search engines. Nothing is shown until you turn your profile on. A basic, full or signature profile is not an independent website or a service from another ecosystem brand. You can edit, hide or delete it at any time. We do not sell or share your profile information. See our Privacy Policy.

11

Are Council or chapter roles paid?

The Council is honorary and advisory. A new chapter’s Seat 001 is honorary, revocable and conferred by the Founder. It carries no ownership, vote or pay. No paid role is offered on this site.

12

Do I need an invitation to apply?

Available now: the application is open. You do not need an invitation to submit it. Membership itself requires a written invitation after review and conversation.

13

Who is accepted?

The Council of Eight reviews every application personally, considering character, contribution, work and fit with the Code. Admission is not guaranteed; a referral or degree preference does not replace the review.

14

What are Pods?

Planned — subject to final confirmation: smaller groups for accountability and shared progress. Their format, access and schedule have not been confirmed.

15

May I apply from outside Los Angeles?

Yes. Applications are available now. Be candid about travel and attendance. Other listed cities are unopened; no local opening or benefit is implied.

17

May I pitch my business?

No. The room is not a sales floor. Contribution, discretion and consent govern the conversation. No member is owed an introduction, client, transaction or outcome.

Planned — subject to final confirmation. Eligibility, limits and use will be stated in writing if included in your confirmed benefits. No guest access is promised here.

21

What is expected of a member?

Build, contribute, keep your word and respect the room. The Code of Eight governs conduct. Breaching the Code can mean losing the room, under the applicable written agreement.

22

Can I change degrees?

Degree changes, availability and any applicable charges are defined by written confirmation from the office and the agreement. No automatic upgrade, downgrade or price adjustment is promised. Member profiles remain planned.

23

What does the first-year price cover?

The degree, term and confirmed benefits in your written invitation and agreement. Planned features are not confirmed benefits. Membership never bundles another ecosystem brand’s services or investment access.

24

How does the referral program work?

Active for eligible I°+ members in good standing when dues are collected, under a signed Referral Agreement: 15% of eligible collected first-year dues and 10% of eligible collected renewal dues. One level only. Public recommendations must disclose, in the same message, the material connection with 888 SOCIETY, including any possible referral reward. No income is promised.

25

What are renewal, cancellation and refund terms?

Membership runs in 12-month terms and renews each year when you pay your annual renewal invoice (I° $2,000 · II° $4,000 · III° $8,000). No card is kept on file and there is no automatic charge. We send your renewal notice and invoice 30 days before your renewal date; if it isn't paid by your renewal date, your membership simply ends, with no penalty or further obligation. Dues may change only at renewal, with written notice 30 days before your renewal date, and you can decline by not renewing. You can cancel anytime by emailing corp@888society.club, with no reason needed; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current 12-month term, and your access continues until then. We confirm every cancellation in writing. The $888 initiation fee is non-refundable, and annual dues are non-refundable once paid, including dues paid in advance before your term or the March 8, 2027 opening begins, except as your signed membership agreement expressly provides (including if the opening is delayed or membership benefits are not made available) or as required by law. See Terms §4

26

What is the 888 Scholarship?

Planned — subject to final confirmation. It is proposed and not yet active. No award, amount, eligibility rule or application date has been confirmed.

27

Does a Charter number grant permanent access?

No. This rule concerns the 80 founding numbers, 009–088, not the Council or the 800 general seats. Founding numbers 009–088 are personal to their original holders. They cannot be transferred or inherited, and are never reassigned to another person. An inactive member has no access or membership benefits. The original holder may request reactivation at any time, subject to the Society’s requirements, good standing and the current written agreement. Benefits resume once reactivation is confirmed and the required dues have been paid. Payment, renewal and termination terms are set out in your signed membership agreement and in Terms §4.

28

What are the proposed welcome insignia?

Planned — subject to final confirmation: a lapel pin is proposed for every degree; The Table adds a medallion; The Head Table adds a signet ring. The sets are cumulative. Images show design concepts, not finished inventory. Final objects, materials, availability and delivery will be confirmed in writing. The insignia are not part of the offer unless your written invitation or signed membership agreement lists them. No precious-metal content or monetary value is promised.
