  • Terms of Use: https://taxley.com/terms-policies/use
  • Privacy Policy: https://taxley.com/terms-policies/privacy

1. Business-to-Business Membership

CentsableCEO™ is a standards-based leadership membership designed for business owners, founders, and executive decision-makers operating in a professional capacity.

Member represents and warrants that enrollment is made strictly for business purposes and not for personal, household, or consumer use.

The parties acknowledge that this is a business-to-business relationship.

Membership is educational and framework-based. It does not constitute consulting, legal advice, tax advice, accounting services, financial advisory services, bookkeeping, implementation services, or individualized professional advice unless separately contracted in writing.

Participation does not create a fiduciary, agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or professional-client relationship.

Member acknowledges that discussions are general in nature and that Taxley does not evaluate, audit, verify, or monitor Member-specific facts during sessions.

2. Membership Benefits

Active Membership includes:

  • Required 3-Day Founder/CEO Onboarding Intensive
  • Twelve (12) month CentsableCEO™ Membership
  • Thirty-six (36) Framework Sessions per year
  • Thirty-six (36) Office Hour Sessions per year
  • Annual 3-Day Founder/CEO Renewal Intensive (registration required; no additional tuition)
  • Written post-session framework briefs
  • Confidential executive decision forum
  • Eligibility for member-only tax resolution support (separate engagement required)
  • Access to CentsableCEO™ business vault
  • Eligibility to apply for CentsableCEO™ Certification (separate application, evaluation, and fee required)

2.1 Vault Access. Vault access provides visibility into Taxley’s business-in-a-box offerings only. It does not grant ownership, licensing, download rights, reproduction rights, distribution rights, or usage rights to paid Vault items unless separately purchased under independent written agreement.

Vault access terminates immediately upon expiration, cancellation, Suspension, or termination of Membership unless materials were separately purchased under an independent written agreement.

2.2 Certification Program. Certification eligibility does not guarantee admission, approval, credential issuance, tuition inclusion, testing, grading, or certification status. Admission is subject to separate application, qualification standards, tuition (if applicable), review, and written agreement.

All Framework Sessions and Office Hour Sessions are delivered live. No replays are provided. Cameras must be on for participation. This is a standards-based room. Participation and discretion are mandatory.

Access to Framework Sessions and Office Hour Sessions is conditioned upon completion of the required Founder/CEO Onboarding Intensive. Taxley retains sole discretion over program structure, sequencing, facilitation, staffing, scheduling, and program evolution.

3. Founder/CEO Seat Requirement

Enrollment requires purchase of a Founder/CEO Seat.

Additional Leadership Seats may be added after Founder/CEO enrollment.

Leadership Seats:

  • Must belong to the same company
  • Do not replace Founder/CEO responsibility
  • Are non-transferable except as expressly stated below
  • Are strictly non-refundable under all circumstances

4. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS FOR MEMBERSHIP

CentsableCEO™ Membership is an executive-level advisory and decision forum and does not include tax file management, document intake, compliance tracking, or Power of Attorney representation unless separately contracted.

Membership communication occurs through:

  • Scheduled sessions
  • Designated program platforms
  • Email communications as determined by Taxley

Membership does not require use of the Secure Client Portal for document uploads related to tax authority representation unless the Member separately engages Tax Resolution Support services.

Members acknowledge that response times may vary based on program structure and that Membership does not create continuous access, real-time advisory obligations, or case monitoring responsibilities.

5. Membership Term; Binding Commitment

Membership is a twelve (12) month contractual commitment beginning on the first day of the Member’s scheduled Founder/CEO Onboarding Intensive.

Membership runs continuously regardless of attendance, participation, internal staffing changes, business performance, or utilization.

This is not a subscription and not month-to-month.

If an installment plan is offered, it is a payment convenience only and does not alter the full contractual obligation.

Member acknowledges that fees reflect commercially reasonable pricing for reserved seat capacity, live facilitation, intellectual property access, and program availability.

6. Automatic Renewal

Membership automatically renews annually on the anniversary of the Member’s original Orientation start date unless renewal is disabled through the designated member portal prior to that date.

Member is solely responsible for disabling renewal. Failure to receive a renewal reminder does not relieve Member of responsibility to disable renewal.

Member expressly authorizes recurring annual charges to the payment method on file unless renewal is timely disabled.

Renewal pricing in effect at the time of renewal applies.

If Membership lapses and Member later re-enrolls, re-enrollment occurs at then-current pricing and under then-current terms.

7. Payment Terms; Late Fees; Acceleration

All fees are contractually committed upon enrollment.

If installment payments are offered:

  • Installments must be paid as scheduled.
  • Late payments incur a five percent (5%) late fee.
  • Failure to cure delinquency may result in immediate suspension.
  • Taxley may accelerate the remaining unpaid balance, which becomes immediately due without further notice.

Acceleration does not require additional notice beyond delinquency. Member agrees that acceleration is a reasonable remedy for breach.

Member waives any claim that acceleration constitutes a penalty or unenforceable liquidated damages.

Suspension does not pause or extend the Membership term.

All financial obligations survive suspension, termination, or expiration of Membership.

8. CANCELLATION; DEFERRAL; ACCESS REQUIREMENT

Cancellation must be submitted in writing no later than ten (10) calendar days before the applicable Registration Deadline for the enrolled cohort.

The “Registration Deadline” is the published deadline for the applicable cohort start date as listed on Taxley’s official website at the time of enrollment. Member acknowledges that the applicable Registration Deadline is disclosed at the time of enrollment and constitutes a material term of this Agreement.

If cancellation is timely submitted, Taxley will refund amounts actually received toward the Founder/CEO Seat less a non-refundable fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total contractual enrollment fee for the Founder/CEO Seat.

Member acknowledges that the twenty percent (20%) non-refundable amount constitutes a commercially reasonable reservation fee for seat capacity and onboarding preparation. The twenty percent (20%) non-refundable amount is calculated based on the full contractual enrollment fee, not the amount paid to date.

All Leadership Seats are non-refundable under all circumstances.

After the cancellation window closes:

  • All fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
  • The full twelve (12) month contractual obligation remains enforceable.
  • Installment obligations remain due.

Cancellation disables renewal only. It does not cancel the current term except as expressly permitted above.

Cohort Deferral Policy

If a Member does not attend the scheduled Founder/CEO Onboarding Intensive for the enrolled cohort, Member may request a one-time deferral to a subsequent cohort, subject to the following conditions:

  • Deferral request must be submitted in writing prior to the start date of the originally scheduled Onboarding Intensive.
  • Deferral is limited to one (1) transfer and must be to either the immediately following cohort or the next available cohort thereafter.
  • Deferral does not extend, pause, delay, or modify the twelve (12) month Membership term, which begins on the first day of the originally scheduled Founder/CEO Onboarding Intensive and remains contractually committed regardless of attendance.
  • Access to Framework Sessions and Office Hour Sessions is conditioned upon completion of the required Founder/CEO Onboarding Intensive.
  • If the published enrollment fee in effect at the time of the deferred cohort exceeds the Member’s original enrollment fee, Member must pay the difference prior to participation.
  • Failure to attend the deferred cohort results in forfeiture of enrollment without refund or credit. No further deferrals are permitted under any circumstances.

Taxley retains sole discretion to approve or deny deferral requests and may require written confirmation of the new cohort selection. Approval of a deferral does not create precedent or obligation to grant future requests.

9. Seat Transfers

Founder/CEO Seats and individual Leadership Seats are non-transferable.

For bundled Leadership Team Block Seats only:

  • One (1) internal seat transfer per membership year is permitted.
  • Transfer must remain within the same company.
  • Transfer does not extend the membership term.
  • Transfers must be requested in advance and require prior written approval from Taxley.

Taxley may deny transfer requests in its sole discretion if it determines the request is intended to circumvent seat limitations.

10. Certification

Eligibility to apply for CentsableCEO™ Certification is included with Active Membership.

Certification requires:

  • Separate application
  • Separate evaluation
  • Separate fee
  • Compliance with certification standards

Eligibility does not guarantee approval, credential issuance, or designation.

11. No Guarantees; Assumption of Risk

Taxley makes no guarantees regarding revenue, profitability, compliance posture, hiring outcomes, tax outcomes, growth, financing, investment, exit, or business performance.

Member acknowledges that business decisions inherently involve risk and voluntarily assumes all risks associated with participation and implementation.

Member retains sole responsibility for decisions and outcomes. Member agrees that participation is voluntary and undertaken at Member’s own business risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

All limitation of liability, indemnification, arbitration, venue, and governing law provisions in the Terms of Use apply.

Client agrees to indemnify Taxley against claims arising from:

  • Inaccurate disclosures
  • Non-compliance
  • Failure to act
  • Independent communications with tax authorities

13. Personal Guaranty

If enrollment is made by a business entity, the enrolling individual personally, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees payment and performance of all financial obligations under this Agreement.

Member acknowledges that this personal guaranty is a material inducement to Taxley’s acceptance of enrollment.

14. Suspension; Termination for Cause

Taxley may suspend or terminate Membership immediately, without refund, for:

  • Nonpayment
  • Unauthorized recording
  • Confidentiality breach
  • Intellectual property violation
  • Disruptive or harmful conduct
  • Circumvention of policies
  • Legal, reputational, or safety risk

Determinations regarding participation standards or violations shall be made in good faith and in Taxley’s sole discretion.

Termination does not relieve Member of any accrued, outstanding, or future financial obligations arising from the contractual term.

15. Entire Agreement 

This Agreement, together with the Terms of Engagement, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement governing CentsableCEO™ Membership.

Taxley’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Electronic acceptance constitutes a legally binding signature.
