Signed Membership Terms - Fight Chargebacks/Disputes

This thread was previously for adding Digital signatures, however after research it is not required to get a digital/wet signature to fight a charge back effectively.

We plan to instead update the subscription agreement acceptance to be more inline with card network rules for this type of billing. When the customer accepts these terms we will save a timestamp, IP address and screenshot of the action and automatically make this information available for fighting disputes.


In a further update we could also provide login/access/booking summaries in a simple download that could also be provided for disputes. According to the card networks proof of use is a more valid to win chargebacks than Proof of agreement of terms.

This will keep friction out of the sales flow whilst still protecting the business and making it easier to win chargebacks.

Later if this is successfully in winning more claims, responding to disputes could be automated completely based on how much information is available and the likelihood of winning the dispute.

    Hi All,

    We’re please to say that we now have digital signing for membership terms.

    We’ve given our membership terms builder a complete overhaul, no more uploading files for membership terms. Our new builder will create your terms for you based on your membership configuration.

    Our terms will give you the best defence against any disputed payments, we will collect a digital signature for every membership sign up, ensuring the member knows what they are buying AND give you a downloadable signed contract as evidence to use in the event of a dispute.

    We know this will reduce payments disputes and make terms more clear for members, without adding any friction to the checkout.

    We are currently testing this across 20% of locations around the globe, but if you would like to has this enabled at your club please just reply to this message!

    Kind regards,

    Isaac - Founder

        Hi @Doug Schulein that is enabled for you, just refresh your page.

        Please note you can only edit terms in the new design, so be sure to enable the latest design.

        You existing terms have been automatically moved over but to make full advantage of the feature I would recommend going to Settings > Memberships and choosing “Edit Terms”, then “Generate Default Template”.

        let me know if you have any questions at all!

        Kind regards,
