Stay Sketchy paid tiers are recurring memberships. You are charged today, and your membership renews automatically, monthly or yearly depending on the plan you pick, at the price shown, until you cancel. You can cancel anytime online in your Stay Sketchy account or from the manage subscription link in your receipt emails. Canceling stops future charges and takes effect at the end of your current paid period.
The paid tiers (Sketchy Friends Listing, Featured Friend, and Friends of Stay Sketchy) are memberships run by Stay Sketchy. Each tier’s perks are listed on the upgrade page at staysketchy.com/upgrade. Perks are delivered while your membership is active and paid.
When you join, you authorize Stay Sketchy and its payment processors (beehiiv and Stripe) to charge your payment method automatically on a recurring basis: monthly plans renew every month, yearly plans renew every year, starting from your join date, until you cancel. You will get a receipt for each charge. If a payment fails, the processor may retry it, and your paid perks may pause until the payment goes through.
If a tier price ever changes, we will email you at least 30 days before the new price takes effect, and the new price only applies from your next renewal after that notice. Exception: Founding Supporters, the first 25 Friends of Stay Sketchy members, keep $12.95 a month for as long as their membership stays active without lapsing. If it lapses and you rejoin later, the lock is gone and the current price applies.
You can cancel anytime, for any reason, with no cancellation fee. Because you signed up online, you can cancel online: in your Stay Sketchy account settings or through the manage subscription link in your beehiiv emails. You can also email [email protected] and we will help. Canceling stops all future charges.
Your perks stay active until the end of the period you already paid for, then your card comes off the Sketchy Friends page and paid access ends. Except where the law requires it or the guarantee in section 5 applies, charges already paid are not refunded, and an envelope that has been paid for and mailed is not refundable.
Send your name, links, and hashtags after joining and your Sketchy Friends card goes live within 3 days. If it does not, email us and your first month is refunded. This guarantee covers the card listing only.
Envelopes ship the first week of the month. To get that month’s envelope, you must be an active paid member by the last day of the previous month, and we must have your current mailing address by that same deadline (the intake form is sent right after you join). Join or update your address after the deadline and your first or next envelope is the following month’s.
Your envelope is mailed to the address you gave us. You are responsible for keeping it current by the deadline in section 6. If an envelope arrives damaged, or does not arrive within 15 days of the ship week, email [email protected] within 30 days and we will resend it once. We are not responsible for mail sent to an old or wrong address you gave us.
Your card shows the name, links, and hashtags you send us. You are responsible for them being accurate and yours to share. Keep them current by emailing us anytime. Stay Sketchy can edit or remove a card, link, or hashtag that is broken, misleading, or not a fit for the page. Listings are visibility, not a promise of traffic, sales, or income. No results are guaranteed.
Featured Friend and Friends of Stay Sketchy include one Professor Review per membership month. Slots are limited because Matt records every review himself; if a month fills, your review moves to the next month and we will tell you.
By sending a website, images, video, or a physical piece for a review or showcase, you give Stay Sketchy permission to show and discuss it in Instagram reels and stories, newsletter posts, and the Sketchy Friends page, with credit to you. Friends of Stay Sketchy members can choose private written notes instead of a public review.
One rule stands: a physical piece mailed in is a gift to Matt. It becomes his, it will be shown with credit, and it will not be shipped back. Do not mail anything you need returned.
After six paid months on Friends of Stay Sketchy, members get one Friends hat, free. One hat per member. The hat is a membership gift and is never sold.
The monthly Supporter Spotlight and the lucky envelope drawing are Stay Sketchy’s picks. They are perks of membership, not promised outcomes, and every active member is eligible each month.
If these terms change in a way that affects your price or your main perks, we will email you before the change takes effect for your membership. Continuing your membership after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
