EC Membership Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 15 July 2026

These EC Membership Terms & Conditions (“Membership Terms”) govern applications for, payment of and participation in the Entrepreneur Circle membership programme operated by Entrepreneur Circle Pte. Ltd.


By submitting a membership application, making payment, selecting the acceptance checkbox or participating as an EC member, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Membership Terms.

1. About EC

Entrepreneur Circle (“EC”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a relationship-driven business community that supports ongoing connection, collaboration, learning and participation among business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs.

Organisation details:
  • Legal entity name: Entrepreneur Circle Pte. Ltd.
  • UEN: 202350752W
  • Address: Centennial Tower, 3 Temasek Avenue, #21-00, Singapore 039190
  • Email: queries@entrepreneur-circle.com

EC membership provides access to the EC community and selected membership benefits. It does not constitute an investment, partnership, employment arrangement, franchise or guarantee of business results.

2. Membership Eligibility and Application

Membership is intended for individuals who are aligned with EC’s relationship-first approach and who wish to participate constructively in the EC community.

Applicants must provide accurate, complete and current information during registration and payment.

EC may contact an applicant to clarify information submitted in the application.

EC reserves the right to accept, decline, pause or request further information regarding a membership application where reasonably necessary to protect the community, its members or its operations.

Submitting an application or payment does not by itself guarantee continuing membership where:

  • false, incomplete or misleading information has been provided;
  • payment cannot be verified;
  • the applicant is not aligned with EC’s community principles;
  • the applicant has engaged in inappropriate, unlawful or disruptive conduct; or
  • EC reasonably determines that membership is unsuitable.

Where EC declines an application after receiving payment, EC will determine the appropriate payment reversal or refund arrangement, subject to applicable law and any payment-processing charges that cannot reasonably be recovered.

3. First-Year Membership Fee

The first-year EC membership fee is:

S$188 for one year

The fee is a one-time payment for the applicable first-year membership period unless otherwise stated at checkout.

The price displayed at checkout is the amount payable for the membership product selected. Any applicable taxes will be handled according to EC’s tax obligations and the information displayed at the point of payment.

Membership becomes active only after:

  1. the membership application has been submitted;
  2. the applicable membership fee has been received and verified; and
  3. EC has confirmed the membership.

The membership period normally begins from the date EC confirms activation, unless EC communicates a different commencement date.

4. Payment Methods

Available payment methods may include:

  • online payment through EC’s authorised payment processor; and
  • PayNow or another approved manual payment method.

Online payments are generally recorded automatically after successful processing.

PayNow and other manual payments remain pending until EC verifies receipt of the funds.

Members must use the payment instructions shown at checkout and provide an identifiable payment reference, such as their registered name or email address.

EC is not responsible for delays caused by:

  • an incorrect payment reference;
  • payment to an incorrect account;
  • incomplete bank-transfer information;
  • payment-processing interruptions;
  • mismatched registration and payment details; or
  • circumstances outside EC’s reasonable control.

A payment submission or bank-transfer screenshot does not by itself constitute confirmation that funds have been received.

5. Payment Verification and Membership Activation

After payment has been verified, EC may send the member:

  • payment confirmation;
  • membership onboarding information;
  • the EC Member Business Profiling Survey;
  • information about EC activities and member opportunities; and
  • other operational communications connected to the membership.

Members should use the same email address for their membership application and payment wherever possible.

Using different email addresses may create separate contact records or delay payment matching and membership activation.

EC may request reasonable supporting information where a payment cannot be matched to an application.

6. Membership Benefits

Membership benefits may include access to selected:

  • EC community activities;
  • member communications;
  • networking and relationship-building opportunities;
  • workshops, discussions or business sessions;
  • member rates or privileges;
  • collaboration opportunities;
  • EC-hosted initiatives; and
  • EC Credit, where applicable.

 

The exact benefits, event schedule, availability and format may change over time.

Membership does not guarantee:

  • referrals;
  • sales;
  • revenue;
  • customers;
  • partnerships;
  • speaking opportunities;
  • event participation;
  • investment;
  • funding; or
  • any specific commercial outcome.

 

All business relationships, introductions and collaborations remain subject to the independent judgment of the parties involved.

7. EC Credit

Eligible first-year EC memberships may include up to S$500 in EC Credit, subject to the rules, eligibility requirements and usage conditions communicated by EC.

EC Credit:

  • is a participation benefit within the EC ecosystem;
  • is not cash;
  • is not a cash rebate;
  • is not a refund of the membership fee;
  • is not a stored-value payment account;
  • cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money;
  • is not transferable to another person or organisation;
  • cannot be sold, assigned or pledged;
  • has no value outside eligible EC activities; and
  • may only be applied in accordance with EC’s stated conditions.

Unless EC states otherwise for a particular activity, EC Credit may be used to offset up to 30% of the applicable fee for eligible EC-hosted events or activities.

The remaining amount must be paid using an accepted payment method.

EC Credit cannot be claimed merely by holding membership. Its availability and use may depend on genuine participation, attendance, contribution or other eligibility conditions determined by EC.

EC may specify:

  • which activities are eligible;
  • the amount that may be applied;
  • the validity period;
  • attendance or participation requirements;
  • redemption procedures; and
  • circumstances in which EC Credit expires or is forfeited.

Unused EC Credit is not refundable and cannot be converted into cash when membership ends or expires.

EC may correct any EC Credit balance created through an administrative, technical or calculation error.

8. Events, Activities and Additional Fees

Membership does not automatically include free entry to every EC event, programme or activity.

Certain events or services may require:

  • separate registration;
  • an additional participation fee;
  • approval or eligibility;
  • a minimum attendance commitment; or
  • acceptance of event-specific terms.

Event dates, venues, speakers, formats and programmes may change due to operational requirements or circumstances outside EC’s reasonable control.

Where reasonably necessary, EC may:

  • reschedule an event;
  • change the venue;
  • replace a speaker, facilitator or programme item;
  • change an in-person activity to an online or hybrid format; or
  • cancel an activity.

Any refund, credit, transfer or replacement arrangement for a separately paid event will be governed by the specific terms communicated for that event.

9. Member Responsibilities and Conduct

Members are expected to contribute to a respectful, constructive and relationship-first environment.

Members must not:

  • harass, threaten, discriminate against or intimidate another person;
  • engage in unlawful, deceptive or fraudulent activity;
  • make false or misleading representations;
  • misuse another member’s personal or business information;
  • send excessive or unwanted promotional messages;
  • scrape, harvest or distribute member contact information without permission;
  • pressure members into transactions or commitments;
  • misrepresent an affiliation with EC;
  • use EC’s name, branding or events without approval;
  • disrupt EC events, groups or communications;
  • publish confidential discussions without permission; or
  • behave in a manner that may materially harm EC or its community.

Members remain responsible for conducting their own due diligence before entering into any commercial arrangement with another member, speaker, supplier, sponsor or participant.

EC does not endorse or guarantee the products, services, claims, professional qualifications or conduct of individual members merely because they participate in EC.

10. Suspension or Termination of Membership

EC may warn, restrict, suspend or terminate a membership where a member:

  • breaches these Membership Terms;
  • fails to make a required payment;
  • provides inaccurate or misleading information;
  • misuses EC platforms, events or member information;
  • engages in conduct that threatens the safety, trust or integrity of the community;
  • repeatedly disrupts EC activities;
  • infringes EC’s intellectual property; or
  • exposes EC or other members to significant legal, reputational or operational risk.

 

Where appropriate, EC may first provide the member with an opportunity to clarify or correct the matter.

Immediate suspension or termination may occur where EC reasonably considers the issue serious or urgent.

Upon termination:

  • access to member-only benefits may end;
  • unused EC Credit may be forfeited;
  • the member must stop presenting themselves as an active EC member; and
  • obligations relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, liability and data protection will continue where applicable.

11. Cancellation and Refunds

Membership fees support access to the EC community, administration, onboarding and membership benefits.

Except where required by applicable law or expressly approved by EC in writing, membership fees are generally non-refundable after membership has been activated.

A request to cancel should be submitted in writing to:

queries@entrepreneur-circle.com

A cancellation request does not automatically entitle the member to:

  • a full or partial refund;
  • a cash payment for unused benefits;
  • a refund of unused EC Credit;
  • transfer of membership to another person; or
  • an extension of the membership period.

EC may review exceptional circumstances individually.

Nothing in these Membership Terms excludes any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Membership Renewal

Membership does not renew automatically unless EC clearly states otherwise and the member has authorised recurring payment.

Before the membership period ends, EC may invite the member to renew.

Renewal may be subject to:

  • the renewal fee applicable at that time;
  • updated membership benefits;
  • updated EC Credit arrangements;
  • continued compliance with these Membership Terms; and
  • any updated membership criteria.

 

EC will communicate the applicable renewal terms before requesting payment.

Payment of a renewal fee constitutes acceptance of the Membership Terms in effect at the time of renewal.

13. Personal Data and Communications

EC may collect, use and disclose personal data for purposes reasonably connected with:

  • processing membership applications;
  • verifying identity and payments;
  • administering memberships;
  • maintaining member and contact records;
  • providing membership benefits;
  • organising activities and events;
  • sending operational notices;
  • responding to enquiries;
  • improving EC’s services;
  • managing safety, compliance and disputes;
  • generating internal member profiles or recommendations;
  • facilitating relevant introductions where appropriate; and
  • complying with legal or regulatory obligations.

This may include information submitted through application forms, payment forms, surveys, event registrations, communications and participation records.

EC will handle personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable Singapore data-protection requirements. Singapore’s PDPA governs organisations’ collection, use and disclosure of personal data for legitimate and reasonable purposes.

Operational membership communications may include payment confirmation, onboarding instructions, event information, account notices and changes affecting membership.

Marketing communications will be managed in accordance with applicable consent and communication-preference requirements.

Members may contact EC regarding their personal data or communication preferences at:

queries@entrepreneur-circle.com

14. Member Profiles, Introductions and Business Information

Information submitted through the EC Member Business Profiling Survey may be used to help EC understand:

  • the member’s business;
  • current positioning;
  • business goals;
  • collaboration interests;
  • support needs; and
  • potential relevance to EC initiatives.

EC may use automated tools, including AI-assisted systems, to organise or prepare draft internal summaries based on information supplied by the member.

Such summaries:

  • are intended to support EC’s internal understanding and service delivery;
  • may require human review;
  • should not be treated as professional legal, financial, tax or investment advice; and
  • may contain limitations or inaccuracies arising from incomplete information.

Members are responsible for reviewing any information they provide and notifying EC of material inaccuracies.

EC is not required to make an introduction, recommendation or commercial opportunity merely because a member has completed a profile.

15. Intellectual Property and Use of EC Materials

All rights in EC’s:

  • name and logo;
  • website content;
  • event formats;
  • presentation materials;
  • reports;
  • surveys;
  • templates;
  • community resources;
  • photographs and videos;
  • training materials; and
  • other original content

remain with EC or the relevant rights holder.

Membership does not transfer ownership of EC’s intellectual property.

Members may use materials provided to them only for their own personal or internal business purposes unless EC gives written permission for wider use.

Members must not reproduce, resell, distribute, modify or commercially exploit EC materials without permission.

16. Photography, Recording and Event Content

EC events may be photographed, filmed or recorded for documentation, community updates, publicity and promotional purposes.

Where reasonably practicable, EC may notify attendees that photography or recording is taking place.

Members who do not wish to be prominently photographed or recorded should inform the EC team before or during the event.

Members must not record private discussions, presentations or participants where doing so would breach confidentiality, privacy or event rules.

17. Third-Party Services and External Links

EC may use third-party providers for:

  • payment processing;
  • email delivery;
  • customer relationship management;
  • forms and surveys;
  • event registration;
  • website hosting;
  • video conferencing; and
  • other operational functions.

Use of those services may also be subject to the provider’s terms and privacy practices.

EC is not responsible for the independent acts, omissions, availability or security of third-party services beyond what EC can reasonably control.

Links to external websites or services are provided for convenience and do not necessarily constitute endorsement.

18. Disclaimer and Limitation of Responsibility

EC provides a community and participation environment. Information shared through EC is general in nature.

Members should obtain appropriate professional advice before making significant business, legal, tax, financial, employment or investment decisions.

To the extent permitted by law, EC is not responsible for:

  • business decisions made by members;
  • losses arising from transactions between members;
  • representations made independently by a member or third party;
  • expected referrals or opportunities that do not arise;
  • indirect, incidental or consequential losses;
  • interruption caused by third-party platforms;
  • events beyond EC’s reasonable control; or
  • loss resulting from a member’s failure to conduct reasonable due diligence.

Nothing in these Membership Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

19. Changes to Membership and These Terms

EC may update:

  • these Membership Terms;
  • membership benefits;
  • operational procedures;
  • event formats;
  • EC Credit arrangements; or
  • related policies

 

where reasonably necessary.

Material changes will be communicated through appropriate channels, which may include email, the EC website or member communications.

Updated terms will apply from the stated effective date.

Changes will not retrospectively remove rights that have already accrued where doing so would be unlawful.

20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Membership Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore.

Members should first contact EC in good faith to try to resolve any concern informally.

Notices or disputes should be sent to:

queries@entrepreneur-circle.com

If the matter cannot be resolved informally, the parties may consider mediation or another appropriate dispute-resolution process before commencing formal proceedings.

The courts of Singapore will have jurisdiction, subject to any applicable rights or remedies that cannot be excluded.

21. General Provisions

If any part of these Membership Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

A failure by EC to enforce a provision immediately does not waive EC’s right to enforce it later.

These Membership Terms, together with any incorporated policies and specific event or offer terms, form the agreement governing EC membership.

Where a specific event, programme or offer has additional terms, those specific terms apply to that event, programme or offer. If there is an inconsistency, the more specific terms will apply to the relevant matter.
