Terms and Conditions

Citizenship and related purchases · Version BYR-2026-10-27.1 · Effective 27 October 2026

These terms cover new purchases of Founder, Associate and Companion citizenship and related items through the Bron Yr Aur Bwtîc. Keep your order confirmation and the terms supplied with it. Updated terms do not retrospectively replace an earlier purchase agreement.

1. Who we are

Your purchases are provided by Bron Yr Aur Creative Micronation Ltd, company number 16438385. Our registered office is Unit 1 Dyfi Eco Parc, Machynlleth, SY20 8AX, United Kingdom. Contact the Government Administrative Office at [email protected] or by post at that address.

Bron Yr Aur is a creative micronation. Citizenship is participation in our creative community; it does not change legal nationality or grant immigration, residence or travel rights. A citizen ID, honorary title or community government role is not an official state identity document or public appointment. The Constitution describes our principles and aspirations and does not override the law or your consumer rights.

2. Applying and purchasing

You must be at least 17 and purchase citizenship for yourself. Use your own details and email address and complete the form attached to the product. If you already have an account, sign in with its email address; you do not need another identity for a renewal or additional purchase.

Check your answers, product, address and total before submitting your order. Contact us promptly about errors. We retain your dated agreement choices; no drawn signature is required.

We accept a citizenship order by activating the purchased membership after successful payment, or completion of an eligible £0 order, and send confirmation. An application, order acknowledgement or unsuccessful payment alone does not activate citizenship. The purchase date recorded on the order is used for the membership term. If you return to pay an old unpaid order, contact us before payment to confirm its dates or arrange a new order.

3. Tiers and renewals

  • Founder: £500 for lifetime citizenship, limited to 100 Founding Citizens. There is no scheduled expiry or recurring renewal fee.
  • Associate: one year from purchase. Choose the full price, including £0. The suggested £20 is not an additional base charge.
  • Companion: £125 for one year from purchase.
  • Quartz bundle: £199 including delivery of the Quartz item and three years of Companion citizenship from purchase. The Quartz edition is limited to 333 pieces.

These are one-time purchases, not automatically renewing subscriptions. Renewing the same limited-term membership before expiry adds the purchased term after the remaining term. Renewing after expiry starts a new term from the new purchase date. A different tier does not automatically convert another tier’s unused time or value. Your original “Citizen since” history is preserved.

The price displayed and agreed for your order governs that purchase. Prices may change for future orders. The applicable total, taxes and any permitted delivery charges are shown before payment. Optional extras require your choice. Included delivery is not replaced by an undisclosed surcharge.

4. Your account and digital credentials

After purchase, follow the account-access instructions, sign in to Your Citizen Space, review your details and upload your photograph if one is missing. Membership may be active before your digital ID is ready. ID issuance requires eligible membership, an assigned citizen number and a complete profile with a suitable photograph.

Your number and honorary title are managed by the team. Once a photograph is saved, contact us if it needs replacing. Report errors so we can correct them.

Eligible citizens can view their ID and download a verifiable image. Apple Wallet is optional and requires a compatible device. Wallet details may update when your record or membership changes. A downloaded image does not update itself; verification checks its authenticity and current status. Preserve the original signed image file: editing or screenshots can remove verification information.

These credentials identify a citizen record and are not independent proof of identity, age or nationality. An expired or cancelled membership must not be represented as active.

5. Benefits and developing services

Citizenship includes the citizen account, eligible digital ID, welcome letter and access to the Constitution. A separately promised personalised Certificate of Citizenship will be supplied through the portal when issued; it is a distinct deliverable and is not yet available merely because an ID is displayed.

Founders retain the recognition and Legacy Package described with their purchase, including the promised name engraving on one of the Three Standing Stones, physical ID, welcome letter and commemorative coin, and the stated community benefits. The current offer links the full Legacy Package to the 100-Founder and declaration milestone. Physical fulfilment dates have not yet been confirmed.

Hub, Guild, camera, virtual-tour, voting, event and other developing services are not all available now. We will distinguish available benefits from those still being prepared and publish practical arrangements as they are confirmed. Eligibility to apply for an event or creative stay is not a confirmed booking or a promise that every event is free.

Founder status has no scheduled expiry or renewal fee. Development, a delayed milestone or a change of supplier does not give us an unrestricted right to remove a purchased benefit. We remain responsible for commitments made with your order. If a promised item or service cannot be supplied as agreed, we will explain the position and provide the remedy required by law. Updates do not replace your rights or allow indefinite delay.

6. Physical items and delivery

The Quartz item is a natural piece on a branded wooden mount with a numbered brass inset. Natural pieces vary, but the supplied item must match its description. Any preparation and delivery estimate shown with your purchase forms part of the offer; we will not reinterpret a combined preparation-and-delivery estimate as dispatch time alone.

Where a different delivery time has not been expressly agreed before the order, goods must be delivered without undue delay and within the applicable statutory period, normally 30 days. A longer or milestone-based arrangement must be clearly agreed; an unconfirmed date does not remove your rights. Contact us if delivery is delayed, missing, damaged or incorrect. We remain responsible for our delivery obligations and will not require you to resolve them solely with the carrier.

Available destinations and delivery arrangements must be confirmed before accepting the relevant shipment. We will not charge an additional shipping or import-handling amount that was not agreed with you. Collection is by arrangement: wait for confirmation of the location and appointment before travelling. No collection opening hours or unconfirmed supplier deadline is promised by these terms.

7. Founder elixir and sound journey

Each eligible Founder may claim one 30ml Fire Elixir through the Bwtîc. Choose shipping, collection at the government offices or collection at Bron Yr Aur. The eligible bottle and delivery are included at £0. A contribution towards shipping is optional and may be £0; declining it does not affect eligibility.

If you cancel the claim before dispatch or change it to collection, we will return the unused shipping contribution in full. It is not treated as a non-refundable charitable donation. If a shipment cannot be fulfilled, contact us; statutory rights and appropriate remedies remain.

Your bottle’s personal QR is linked to your Founder account. After dispatch or collection, scan it, sign in and select “Unlock my sound journey” to listen or download. Ordering alone does not unlock the recording. Do not share your sign-in details with another person.

Physical readiness, collection appointments and product-use information will be confirmed separately. These terms make no medicinal claim and do not create an assumed hygiene-based exclusion from your rights.

8. Cancellation, returns and refunds

We do not offer discretionary membership refunds or a voluntary money-back guarantee. Your statutory cancellation rights and remedies are unaffected. This includes rights where goods, services or digital content are faulty, misdescribed or not supplied as agreed.

Online membership: where the statutory cooling-off right applies, you may cancel without giving a reason during the 14 days after the day the contract is made. Starting membership or issuing an ID does not mean a year or lifetime of services has been fully supplied.

Immediate access: checkout asks separately for your express request to start citizen portal services when your purchase is accepted. This does not waive your cancellation rights. We will not deduct for portal use from a valid statutory cancellation refund. General terms acceptance, profile completion, streaming or an ID download is not treated as a blanket digital-content cancellation waiver.

Goods: where the online cancellation right applies, notify us within 14 days after receiving the goods and return them within the following 14 days. You may inspect them as you would in a shop. Excess handling may affect the refund where the law allows. We do not assume that a branded or numbered item is legally personalised, or that the elixir is exempt simply because its checkout price is £0.

Return arrangements: we cover standard return postage for valid statutory goods returns. Contact [email protected] for a prepaid label, collection or return instructions. Our registered office is a contact address, not a confirmed parcel-return depot. Contacting us is not an additional condition for giving valid cancellation notice. If our instructions are delayed, we will not use that delay to defeat your rights.

Refunds due: we use the original payment method unless you agree otherwise and charge no refund, restocking or administration fee. Cancellable services are refunded without undue delay and within 14 days of notice. For goods, where we have not offered collection, we may wait for the goods or evidence of return; reimbursement is then due within 14 days of whichever arrives first. Standard outward delivery is included where required. An order priced at £0 has no purchase payment to repay; a separately paid shipping contribution is handled as above.

Renewals and bundles: a refund removes only the entitlement attributable to the refunded purchase; earlier paid membership and unrelated tiers are preserved. A required partial remedy is assessed against the actual contract and affected benefit. We do not automatically subtract several annual membership prices from a discounted bundle or apply an invented deduction formula.

After cooling-off: changing your mind alone does not create a discretionary membership refund. You retain remedies for breach, failure to supply and other rights which cannot be excluded. Closing an account or giving up citizenship is distinct from entitlement to a refund.

How to cancel: send a clear statement to [email protected] or our registered office, identifying you and your order. You may use the following form, but it is optional.

Optional cancellation form

To: Bron Yr Aur Creative Micronation Ltd, Unit 1 Dyfi Eco Parc, Machynlleth, SY20 8AX, United Kingdom; [email protected].

I/we give notice that I/we cancel my/our contract for the following goods or services:

  • Product/service and order reference:
  • Ordered on / received on:
  • Customer name(s) and address:
  • Date:
  • Signature(s), only if sent on paper:

Delete whichever wording does not apply. This optional form does not require a signature for an online citizenship application.

9. Retreat

The retreat is currently unavailable for new purchases. Existing bookings retain their agreed terms and applicable rights; an included Companion membership remains one year from its original purchase date. Before reopening, exact dates, inclusions, price basis, cancellation arrangements and any applicable travel protections will be supplied before payment. A past preferred-month selection must not be treated as confirmation of precise dates.

10. Fair participation and account security

Keep your sign-in secure and use your own credentials. Do not impersonate others, interfere with the service, or use it for threats, harassment or unlawful activity.

We will respond proportionately to a problem, explain the reason where lawful and give you an opportunity to respond or correct it. Immediate temporary restriction may be necessary to protect people or investigate a serious security incident or suspected fraud. Permanent termination requires a serious or repeated breach, not simply disagreement or criticism. Ask the Government Administrative Office to review a disputed decision. Restriction or closure does not extinguish remedies required by law.

11. Privacy and recognition

Our Privacy Policy explains citizen records, including birth dates, applications and photographs, retention and your rights. Accepting these terms does not opt you into marketing, a social-media welcome or a public listing.

Any Registry available to fellow citizens is behind authentication. Private birth dates, addresses and application answers are not directory fields. Public online display of your name and honorary title requires separate permission. Social welcomes, public online listings and promised Founder stone engraving are distinct uses.

Expired limited-term profiles, photos and application information are reviewed after the 12-month renewal window. Required transaction records, active lifetime memberships and justified exceptions are handled separately under the Privacy Policy.

12. Changes and problems

We will provide purchased services with reasonable care and skill. If we fail to meet the contract, contact us so we can put the problem right. Applicable remedies may include repeat performance, replacement, a price reduction or refund.

New terms for future orders do not automatically rewrite earlier purchases. We will not rely on “continued use” to impose a material reduction in agreed benefits. Necessary changes require a clear reason, reasonable notice where possible and the remedies required by law. Suppliers’ actions do not remove our responsibility to you.

Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including fraud or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Send complaints to [email protected]; we will consider them and explain our response. Mediation is not a compulsory step before exercising your rights.

These terms use the law of England and Wales without removing mandatory protections applicable in your country of residence or access to courts available under consumer law.
