Membership payments

Resident Members pay a pro-rated fee for the remaining days of the current month when they join, followed by automatic monthly payments paid in advance by credit card on the first day of each month.

Private Office Resident Member Deposit: In addition to a pro-rated membership fee for the initial month of service, Resident Members with private offices must pay one month’s membership fee (“Member Deposit”) to cover any unpaid fees at the end of the membership. 

 Where applicable, Membership Deposits will be returned within 30 days of the member’s cancellation effective date of the Membership Agreement provided 1) member has no outstanding balance to NCRC, 2) member provided at least thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation of the Membership Agreement, and 3) Member has returned all NCRC property, including, but not limited to, keys to offices and fobs for building access. If a member fails to meet any of the requirements within 30 days of the member’s cancellation of the Membership Agreement, member will forfeit the Member Deposit. 

Billing and Payment: All members are required to pay in full the cost of membership on or prior to the first day of the month. The cost of membership may be prorated for new resident members joining in the middle of the month. The member is billed monthly in advance based on their membership plan. Also included are any variable charges such as add-on fees. Payment is required on the first of the month for that period. Payments received after the 10th of the month shall be subject to a $25 late fee regardless of membership level. Payments more than 30 days late will result in a suspension or cancellation of the membership until the account is paid in full. Payment for drop-in usage must be paid in advance or on the day of use.

Membership Options, Services and Fees: Current fees and benefits for membership, meeting rooms and other add-on services are shown and selected by members in the member mobile app and may be updated at any time.
