Founders Shop Disclosure.

Founders Shop is a proposed premium participation and promotional-placement tier. Participating shops may receive expanded profiles, additional storytelling, imagery, booking links, and prominent placement.

Payment, sponsorship, or Founders status does not automatically establish that a shop is the “best,” licensed, award-winning, or objectively superior. Factual claims and credentials remain subject to separate support and review.

The anticipated introductory price is $40 per month, subject to a final written offer, features, availability, and terms before enrollment. No shop is enrolled or charged merely because it appears in the public directory.
