Modern Cake Society – Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Modern Cake Society (“MCS”). By joining our membership or purchasing any of our courses, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. We’ve kept them as friendly and clear as possible, so you know exactly what to expect.

 

1. Nature of Service

Modern Cake Society is an online membership and course platform created and operated by Zaza Marcelle Cake Design. We provide cake and pâtisserie education, business resources, templates, training videos, and related materials to help you grow your creative and professional skills.

 

2. Membership Plans & Payments

2.1 Membership Options

  • Caketisserie Club – 6-Month Commitment (ÂŁ97)
    Perfect if you’re mainly focused on cake skills without the added business extras. Includes:

    • Foundation Mastery – sponge, ganache, buttercream, and texture techniques.
    • Caketisserie Lab – patisserie-infused cake creations released once a month.
    • 6-month access – one upfront payment; no monthly billing.

  • All Access Lounge — Monthly (ÂŁ39.99 per month)
    A flexible, cancel-anytime option that unlocks everything the Society offers. Includes all Caketisserie Club features, plus:

    • Cake Biz Lab – quarterly workshops on client management, automations, and business essentials.
    • Guest Experts Corner – monthly masterclasses with industry pros.
    • Community & Live Events – forums and monthly live Q&A/roundtable sessions.
    • Resources – templates, guides, and tools to streamline your cake business.

  • All Access Lounge — 6-Month Plan (ÂŁ199.99)
    Our best-value option. Commit for six months and save big (about ÂŁ1.10/day). Includes everything in the monthly plan - at a discounted rate. Pay once, enjoy uninterrupted access for six months, with your price locked in for life.

2.2 Payment Terms

    • Payments are taken on the day you join, then automatically on the same date each month or six months thereafter, depending on your plan.

    • For monthly memberships, your subscription renews automatically each month until cancelled.

    • For 6-month memberships (Caketisserie Club at ÂŁ97 and All Access Lounge at ÂŁ199.99), your payment covers the full 6-month term upfront. These plans auto-renew every 6 months unless you cancel before your renewal date.

    • If a payment fails, our system will automatically retry every 3 days. If we still can’t process it, your membership may be paused or cancelled until payment is resolved.

    • Switching between plans:
      • From monthly to 6-month: possible with at least 3 days’ notice before your next billing date.
      • From 6-month to monthly: only possible once your current 6-month term ends.

    • Your membership rate is locked in for life as long as your subscription remains active, even if prices increase for future members.

3. Refund & Cancellation Policy

We want you to love being part of Modern Cake Society. Because members get immediate access to a library of premium content, our refund policy varies by plan.

3.1 Monthly Membership (ÂŁ39.99/month)

  • First 7 days – If you change your mind, just let us know and we’ll refund you in full, no questions asked.

  • After 7 days – No refunds are offered. You may cancel anytime to stop future payments, and your access will remain until the end of your billing cycle.

3.2 6-Month Memberships (Caketisserie Club at ÂŁ97 & All Access Lounge at ÂŁ199.99)

  • First 10 days – If you haven’t streamed, downloaded, or viewed any members-only content, you may request a refund.

  • After 10 days or once you’ve accessed content – We’re unable to offer a refund. With so much premium content available right away (recipes, patisserie-infused cake creations, and business resources), this is unfortunately our only way to avoid “binge and refund”
  • Your membership will continue for the full 6 months, and you’ll decide whether to renew at the end.

Why do we have different policies for each plan:

The monthly plan gives you a longer “no-questions-asked” refund window so you can try us risk-free. The 6-month options are discounted, so we limit refunds and check for content use to keep things fair for all members.

How to cancel within your refund period:
If you’re eligible for a refund, email us at [email protected] or use the cancellation option in your account (if available). Please include your full name, the email address linked to your account, and the date you joined.

 

3.3 Standalone Courses

  • You get instant lifetime access the moment you purchase.
  • No refunds are offered, as all content is delivered immediately.
  • Your purchase gives you - and only you - the right to use the course materials for personal learning or to improve your own cake business.
  • You may not share, resell, redistribute, or repurpose the content, nor use it to create competing products, services, or training. Doing so is a breach of these Terms.

3.4 Global Members

If you live outside the UK, you may have additional consumer rights under your local laws, which we will honour wherever applicable.

 

4. Intellectual Property & Usage Rights

All Modern Cake Society and Zaza Marcelle Cake Design classes, videos, templates, recipes, and materials are the result of years of learning and development.

Which is why, unless we have given written permission:

  • You may not resell, share, reproduce, or redistribute our content in any format.
  • You may not teach our content to people who have not purchased a relevant course.
  • You may not create competing products, courses, or services using our materials.

In short: Your purchase gives you alone the right to use the materials for your own cake projects or business growth, not to repackage, resell, or rebrand them as your own.

Anyone found reselling or exploiting our IP for financial gain may face legal action.
