# Existing Vendors: Moving to Membership Plans

If you joined before membership tiers launched:
* **Signing the new agreement replaces your old one.** Your current pricing continues until your current term ends; then you choose a tier.
* **Want to switch now?** Check the **Early Transition** box on the signature page. Your new tier starts on the 1st of the next month, with no early termination fee and no lost deposit.
* **Prepaid balance:** any unused prepaid fees are credited to your Stripe account toward future Membership Fees.
* **Security deposit:** credited to your Stripe account when you transition. Deposits are no longer collected.
* **Leaving instead?** Finish your current term to keep your full deposit; ending early forfeits it.
These transition terms end on or around March 31, 2027.
