Supporting Partner Terms

These terms apply to a company that supports the Club in kind rather than in cash — a room, catering, equipment or a service.

They take effect when you complete the partner form on the Club's website, accept these terms and sign. Ticking the box and typing your name is your signature, and it binds the company you name as much as a signature on paper would.

Nothing here replaces the Membership Terms. A partner is not a member, and holds no member entitlement unless the Club admits it as one separately.

You choose what you offer and at what level, and the form records it. For a venue, the two levels are the room on its own, or the room together with catering — drinks and food.

Unless the form says otherwise, the commitment is one occasion per calendar year, for up to two hours, at no charge to the Club.

The Club gives you the expected headcount at least twenty-one days before the date and works with whatever room you make available for that number. The Club does not ask you to hold space you need, and will reschedule rather than ask you to displace a paying booking.

The Club treats what you provide as an in-kind contribution. The Club does not issue tax receipts and makes no representation about the deductibility of your contribution: whether and how you record it is a matter for your own accountant.

For a venue partner hosting a gathering, fifteen minutes of the slot are yours. You choose who speaks and what they present, within the Club's Code of Conduct.

Your name appears on the Club's partners page for as long as the partnership runs, in the circle that matches what you provide — and only once you have accepted. The Club does not name a venue as a host before the venue has said yes.

Your own team is welcome at the gathering you host, within the capacity you have set.

A gathering held on your premises runs under your house rules, your access and safety requirements, and your insurance. Tell the Club what those are and the Club will pass them on to the people attending.

Each of us remains responsible for its own people and for what it brings on site. The Club is responsible for the conduct of its members and guests at the gathering, and will make good any damage they cause.

If either of us has to cancel or move a date, tell the other as early as you reasonably can. Neither of us owes the other compensation for a cancellation.

Each of us may use the other's name to describe the partnership factually, and neither of us may use the other's name or marks to suggest an endorsement of a product, a price or a third party.

The Club publishes your logo only once you have given permission in writing, and displays it according to any brand rules you supply. Until then the Club writes your name in plain text — and the Club's own database refuses to store a logo against a partnership that is not signed.

Either of us may withdraw that permission at any time, in writing. The Club removes the logo at its next publication of the site and in any event within seven days.

This is not a contract for services, an agency, a partnership in the legal sense, a joint venture, or an employment relationship. Neither of us may commit the other to anything.

It is not exclusive. The Club may accept partners in the same sector, and you are free to support any other organisation.

The Club does not promise attendance numbers, business introduced, coverage, or any commercial outcome. What the Club promises is what this document says it gives, and nothing beyond it.

The partnership runs for twelve months from the date you sign, and renews for a further twelve months unless either of us says otherwise.

Either of us may end it at any time, in writing, without giving reasons. Your name comes off the partners page at the next publication of the site.

Ending the partnership does not undo an occasion already held, and does not entitle either of us to a refund or a payment, except where the section on fees says so.

The Club holds the details you give on the form to run the partnership, and handles them as set out in its Privacy Policy. Your signature record — the version of these terms, the name signed and the moment — is kept for as long as the partnership runs and for six years afterwards.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, and sit alongside the Terms of Use, the Code of Conduct and the Privacy Policy.
