1. I certify that I am at least 21 years old, not already a member of Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery (the Co-op), and that the information I have provided above is complete and correct.
2. I agree to be bound by the policies and bylaws of the Co-op, and understand that they are subject to change through processes set forth therein.
3. I understand that while purchase of a membership unit represents an equity investment in the Co-op, it is not a security. Membership units in the Co-op are not transferable and do not appreciate in value. Further, dividends will be paid on a patronage basis, and issued at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
4. I agree to maintain a valid electronic and physical address with the Co-op. I understand that should I not do so, my membership may be terminated by the process set forth in the Co-op's Articles and/or Bylaws.
5. I agree to receive communications from the Co-op electronically and through the United States Postal Service.
6. I acknowledge the voting rights afforded to Active Members and understand that proxy voting is prohibited.
7. I understand that my membership is redeemable only upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Co-op's Articles and Bylaws.
8. I understand that as a member in the Co-op I consent to take into account, in the manner and to the extent required by federal and state tax law, the patronage refund received from the Co-op.
9. I understand that the price of a membership unit may change, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. Should the price change, I will not be expected to pay any additional funds, nor will I receive any refund. Further, all membership benefits ancillary to those set forth in the Co-op's Articles and Bylaws are elective and may be changed, suspended, or cancelled at any time.
10. I understand that my membership funds are subject to risks inherent in any start-up enterprise, as well as unique risks associated with operating in a heavily regulated industry. Such risk may result in the loss of part or all such funds. Membership equity investments are subordinate to all other debts of the Co-op. Understanding these risks, I agree to release the Co-op from any liability associated with the loss of all or part of my membership payment.
