APPLYING FOR

Founding Signal — £1,500/year

Everything in Venue — plus a breathing, animated pin, full-bleed home-screen banners, push notifications, and native ticketing with QR issuance. Cap: 25 spots.

One form, then Stripe. We send the founding-partner brief + the mutual-commitment letter alongside the receipt. The letter is doctrinal — it names what we will and won't do with the partnership. Read it on this page before paying.

MUTUAL COMMITMENT LETTER · v1

Mutual commitment letter (v1)

By accepting this letter, the partner organisation and HOTMESS LONDON
(Smash Daddys Ltd) agree to the following ten clauses for the duration
of the founding-partner relationship:

  1. The partner is named on HOTMESS surfaces only with their explicit consent.
  2. HOTMESS does not aggregate, sell, or licence partner data to third parties.
  3. The partner may withdraw at any time with 7 days written notice.
  4. The partner's premises (where applicable) are added to the Pulse globe
     only after the partner has reviewed the geographic representation.
  5. The Tap-Pack hardware remains the partner's to use; HOTMESS does not
     remote-disable it short of a serious safety breach.
  6. The Founding Anchor postcode-exclusivity commitment is honoured for
     the founding year.
  7. The Letter of Partnership on HOTMESS letterhead records the partnership;
     it is not a regulatory, licensing, or insurance document.
  8. The partner agrees not to misrepresent the HOTMESS relationship
     (no "official partner of X" claims beyond what's been signed).
  9. Disputes are resolved first by direct conversation; escalation to a
     mutually-named third party only after good-faith conversation fails.
 10. Either party may renegotiate the relationship at the end of the
     founding year; the founding badge + permanent status survive renegotiation.

Canonical doctrine in docs/founder/vendors/commitment-letter.md. On checkout, acceptance is recorded as Stripe metadata commitment_letter_v1_accepted: true on the payment intent — durable next to the receipt.
