✍️ SoFe Membership Terms & Conditions
Effective as of May 1, 2025
1. Membership Overview
The SoFe Membership is a travel savings and benefits program designed exclusively for women travelers who are part of The Solo Female Traveler Network (SoFe Travel). Membership grants early access to new trips, exclusive on-tour experiences, access to a private community space, and other perks.
By enrolling, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
2. Payment Terms
Membership requires an automatic payment of $200 USD per month into your personal travel fund.
Payments are not a fee; every dollar is credited toward future SoFe trips, private room upgrades, optional add-ons, and other eligible travel-related expenses.
Your $200/month commitment is locked in at the time you join.
If you miss a payment, a one-week grace period will be given. After that, your membership and associated benefits will be paused until payment resumes or your account is canceled.
3. Credit and Refund Policy
Funds paid into your travel account are non-refundable under all circumstances.
If you choose to cancel your membership, your accumulated travel credit remains valid for two (2) years from the date each payment was made.
Travel credit is transferable to another person at your written request.
Funds cannot be withdrawn as cash or applied outside of eligible SoFe offerings.
4. Booking with Travel Credit
Your travel fund acts as a standard payment method toward SoFe trip costs.
Credit may be applied toward:
Tour deposits and balances
Private room upgrades
Pre- or post-trip hotel nights
SoFe-arranged optional add-ons
If your balance does not fully cover the deposit or cost, you may pay the difference separately.
Availability of trips, upgrades, and add-ons is not guaranteed and may vary.
5. Trip Cancellations and Changes
Once travel credit is applied toward a booking, the standard SoFe Travel Terms & Conditions for tour bookingsapply.
If a tour is canceled by SoFe, your applied credit will be returned to your travel fund for future use. Refunds are not issued.
6. Membership Cancellation
You may cancel your membership at any time by submitting an email request to [email protected].
Cancellation requires two (2) weeks’ advance notice to avoid the next monthly payment.
Upon cancellation, you will immediately lose access to:
First access to tours
Member-exclusive experiences and perks
The private community platform
Insider virtual events
Your travel fund balance remains intact and available for eligible use within two years.
7. Community Access
Active membership is required to access the SoFe private online community and related member-only events.
If your membership is canceled or paused, your community access will be revoked immediately.
8. Special Tour Perks
Member-only experiences included in tours (such as private photo shoots, workshops, or special tastings) are only available to active members at the time of travel.
If you cancel your membership after booking but before your trip departs, you will forfeit access to exclusive member-only on-tour inclusions.
9. Changes to Membership Terms
SoFe Travel reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue membership benefits, structure, or terms at any time.
Members will be notified of any significant changes via email at least 30 days in advance.
Continued participation after updates constitutes agreement to revised terms.
