1. Membership Club.
   (a) The Club. Ion Jets (the “Club”) is a private membership-based club. In exchange for the membership fee(s) referenced herein, the Club provides access to numerous services and benefits (collectively, the “Services”) that include, but are not limited to, sourcing and arranging private air travel, access to exclusive lifestyle and event offerings, discounted private aviation opportunities through social and shared flight opportunities, business development relationships, unique member benefits and partnership discounts and a member social page (the “Website”), to interact, engage with and/or manage membership features and the membership account.
   (b) Term; Initiation Fee and Annual Dues. Member hereby agrees to pay an initial one-time fee (the “Initiation Fee”) in the amount of $1,997 unless otherwise specified in a valid promotional offer and indicated as the amount of Payment Due under your Digital Join Order Summary. The Initiation Fee shall be paid by using an authorized credit card as more fully described below. The Membership term is for an initial period of twelve (12) months, or for promotional offers, the term set forth therein (the “Term”), commencing on the day (the “Effective Date”) Member agrees to the terms set forth herein, pays the Initiation Fee in full and provides a valid and authorized credit card to be kept on file. For so long as Member elects to participate in the Club, Member agrees to pay an annual fee (the “Annual Dues”) on each yearly anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that there shall be no Annual Dues for Member’s initial year of membership in the Club. The Annual Dues shall be set at $1997 for the second year of Member’s participation in the Club and are subject to adjustment thereafter. Neither the Initiation Fee nor Annual Dues paid by Member shall be refundable. The Term, and therefore Member’s participation in the Club, shall be automatically renewed and extended for successive one-year periods unless Member gives written notice to Ion Jets of its
   intention to terminate Member’s participation in the Club not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the membership year then in effect. Member hereby authorizes Ion Jets to charge the credit card on file for the Annual Dues on the first day of each renewal period.

   (a) Agency Appointment. Member hereby appoints Ion Jets as its authorized agent, in its sole capacity as Member’s agent (which may include appointing a sub-agent) to (a) arrange at the request of Member the provision of services under the Club, including, without limitation, to arrange on demand air transportation services with an Operator on behalf of Member and Member’s guests, , (b) execute any and all documents in connection therewith, including, without limitation, to execute on demand air transportation contracts on behalf of Member, and (c) take all actions necessary to coordinate such services on behalf of Member.
