# Club Settings Reference

Every setting on a club's creation form and its Settings page, with its default, valid range, and whether changing it later reaches existing members and orders.

#### Changes that don't apply retroactively

CrushSuite doesn't cascade a club setting change onto records that already exist.

**Compliance Fees.** Turning this on doesn't add a fee to release orders that already exist — only new or manually re-saved orders pick it up. Turning it off doesn't remove a fee already recorded on an order.

**Membership Renewal Frequency.** Existing members' next billing date isn't recalculated on save. It takes one full billing cycle to propagate, because the new frequency is only applied when the next billing date is calculated after a successful charge. New signups pick it up immediately.

Settings CrushSuite reads live — **Club Name**, **Timezone**, **Visibility**, and **Allow Members to Skip Releases** — have no retroactive gap.

***

#### Archiving a club

**Archive Club** sits at the bottom of every club's **Settings** page, under **Danger Zone**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Archiving a club is permanent and cannot be undone. Every member's subscription contract is expired and their membership set to inactive, and neither can be reactivated.
{% endhint %}
