A Guardian membership is not a subscription. It is a position. Join a community built around something worth protecting, and put your money where the mountains are.
Guardianship is a long-term relationship with place. Guardian membership proceeds support preservation programs across the regions Planet 5 works in, from coffee-growing communities in the Himalayan corridor to mountain wildlife partnerships in East Africa.
In return, Guardians receive preferred pricing across the catalog, early access to limited editions, priority on Origin Expedition waitlists, and quarterly dispatches from partner regions. Membership compounds in value the longer you hold it.
Every level supports preservation programs. Each one returns more of the brand to the member.

Guardians get preferred access across the entire Planet 5 universe: art, coffee, and expeditions.
Guardian membership fees go directly to mountain ecosystem preservation, the farmers, communities, and land that Planet 5 works to protect. Not to overhead. Not to us. To the mountains.
"Guardians aren't donating to charity. They're collecting art, drinking exceptional coffee, and funding a model that proves preservation and prosperity thrive together."
Dirk Collins · Co-Founder, Planet 5A quick reference for how memberships are billed, changed, and cancelled. Full terms appear in the Member Agreement.
Billing and Renewal
Guardian memberships renew automatically. Monthly Guardians are billed each month on the joining date. Annual Guardians are billed each year on the same date, at the rate published at the time of renewal. Members who maintain continuous Guardianship keep their original rate. Collector's Circle is a one-time payment with no renewal.
Cancellation
Cancel from your Member account whenever you choose. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and benefits remain active through that date. Current monthly and annual periods are non-refundable. Collector's Circle is fully refundable within thirty days of purchase, and non-refundable thereafter.
Changing Your Level
Upgrades take effect right away, with the price difference prorated against the current period. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal date, so the current tier's benefits continue through the period already paid. Unredeemed annual benefits from a higher tier must be claimed before the downgrade takes effect or they are forfeited.
Redeeming Your Benefits
Annual Guardian prints must be claimed within the membership year and do not roll forward. The Guardian rate applies to one-time purchases and to the Everest Coffee Subscription, and is not combinable with promotional discounts. Origin Expedition credits apply at booking, are non-transferable, and may not be redeemed for cash.
About Lifetime Membership
Lifetime means for as long as the member maintains the membership under these terms, and for as long as Planet 5 operates as an active brand. The Collector's Circle is limited to one hundred founding members. Memberships are non-transferable and cannot be passed to heirs or sold to another party.
Gift Memberships
Gift memberships are issued as redemption codes that the recipient activates through their own Guardian account. Gifts cannot be exchanged for cash, applied retroactively to a current membership, or transferred once redeemed. If the recipient already holds a Guardian membership, the gift extends their current term by the gifted period.
