Club Rules and Charter

Purpose of the Club

Champions Social Club is a social club that features dining, cocktails, social interaction, special member programming and events, games, casual workspaces, and facilities for special events (collectively, “Special Events”). Our primary concern is the well-being of our Members and their ability to enjoy the Club.

Club Rules 

Member agrees at all times to abide by these and other posted Club rules. The following Club Rules are intended to promote a positive and safe experience for everyone associated with the Club. We consider these policies to have the force of bylaws, and we intend to enforce them by sanctioning Members and guests who violate them and, in certain cases, terminating Members’ and guests’ access to the Premises.

Dues, Fees, and Other Payments 

Memberships are available on a monthly basis. Prices and terms for Memberships may vary from time to time, and the Club reserves the right to change them at any time in its sole discretion. Expired Memberships will not be recognized; expired Memberships must be renewed and paid in full to restore access to the Club. Other usage fees may be charged from time to time for various amenities and activities at the Club. The Club does not provide Member house accounts, charge accounts, or the like. All Membership fees and usage fees must be paid in full by cash, credit card, or debit card at the point of sale.

Hours

The Club hours will be posted on the Club’s website and may be subject to change. The Club may be closed for a specified period or for public holidays, cleaning, maintenance, or any other reason Club Management deems to justify temporary closure, with notice to Members whenever possible.

Dress Code

The Club encourages a smart dress code and relies on its Members to ensure their guests remain stylish and put-together while visiting the Club. Clean, fashionable sneakers will be accepted, but only if worn with appropriate attire. Jeans are permitted, as long as the jeans are not dirty, torn, or scruffy. Any Member or their guests who does not appear sufficiently well presented may be refused entry. Please note that any decision regarding the suitability of a Member’s appearance will be at the discretion of the Club Management.

Dining Reservations

Tables will be issued at the discretion of the Restaurant Manager. Only Members may make dining reservations. Reservations should not be canceled on less than 24 hours’ notice. Reservations are strongly encouraged. Reservations may be forfeited if a Member is 15 minutes or more past the reserved time. There is no guest limit in the case of a dining reservation or a Member-sponsored private event reservation, depending on the space availability.

Guests

The rights of Members to invite guests to the Club are limited as stated in this Charter. Each Member may bring up to three guests into the Club. Additional guests may be permitted as part of a reservation at the Club restaurant or as part of a booked private event or as approved by Management in advance. On occasions, a circumstance may require limiting the number of guests, which shall be communicated to the Members. Members shall ensure that their guests are aware of the Club Policies stated in this Charter. Members are responsible for the conduct of their guests and for any unpaid Club charges of their guests. Guests must register with the Club receptionist upon arrival at the Premises. Members must be present with their guests at all times.

Children

Only Members’ children, who are 21 years or older are permitted at the Premises and only when accompanied by their parent Member. Members are responsible for the behavior of their children. Children of Members shall be deemed guests. Persons under the age of 21 years will not be permitted into the Club, except as follows: (a) by prior arrangement with the Club Management, accompanied children may be permitted to attend previously arranged Special Events; or (b) when accompanied by their Member parent, during designated weekend meal periods and/or special club events.

Hosting Events

Members may host Special Events in designated areas of the Premises, working with the Club’s special events manager to arrange dates, times, food, beverage and other aspects of the event. Hosting Members shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Special Event agreement with the Club, which shall be in addition to the terms and conditions of this Charter. From time to time, the Club or selected portions of the Club may be designated as private event spaces. Notice shall be given to Members regarding use of the entire Club for a private event booking.

Transactions

Payment may be made by cash or credit card and shall be settled at the time of purchase. An automatic gratuity may be added to all food and beverage service. 

Philosophy Regarding Club Staff

We have carefully selected an experienced, high-quality team of employees at the Club. Their primary focus is the comfort and the positive experience of our Members. We expect our Members to treat Club staff with appropriate respect and dignity. If a Member or guest has an issue with any employee of the Club, the matter shall be addressed directly to the General Manager. A Member may at no time employ a Club Staff Member without prior written permission of Club Management.

Alcohol Policy

We expect all Members to moderate their usage and refrain from disruptive behavior as a result of their consumption of alcoholic beverages. We reserve the right to refuse to serve alcoholic beverages to any Members or guests who appear to be intoxicated. Alcoholic beverage service at the Club will comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including minimum drinking age laws. No food or beverage may be brought in or removed from the premises without the express approval of Club Management.

Non-Smoking Premises

Smoking is not permitted inside the Premises. Members and guests wishing to smoke cigarettes or cigars must restrict such activities to areas designated by Club Management.

Anti-Harassment Policy

Sexual harassment or unwanted sexual advances toward members and/or staff of either sex will not be tolerated, nor will harassment of any kind. Any Member who is disturbed by any of the conduct described above is urged to report such matters to Club Management (General Manager or Director of Membership and Communications), or to any Club Manager on duty.

Illegal Drugs

Illegal drugs are not permitted on the Premises at any time. Any Member found consuming or bringing illegal drugs onto the Premises, or whose guest is found engaging in such acts, will be ejected from the Premises, will be reported to the police, and may have their membership terminated.

Photo Consent, Waiver, and Release 

Consent to Use of Likeness.  Members consent, give permission, and agree that the Club has the right to film, video, or photograph member events and/or activities for use, transmission, copying, publishing, copyrighting, distribution, or publishing in connection with our membership programming, promotions, public relations, and any other commercial/business purposes, without reservation or limitation and without pay or any other consideration.  Members waive any right they may have to inspect and/or approve the finished product or the use to which it may be applied.  

Special Events.  Each special event host (“Host”), subject to the approval of the Club’s Event Manager in charge of the Special Event, will have discretion to determine the policies applicable within the confines of the Special Event venue. Members and guests attending a Special Event must receive Club Management permission before recording, photographing, videotaping, publicizing, mentioning the Special Event in news media (live, print, or digital), social media, or otherwise publicly identifying or describing the Special Event, the Host, or its attendees.

Phone Use

Calls from Mobile Phone.  Mobile phone etiquette is extremely important to our Members. In the interest of respect of our Members’ dining experience, mobile phone usage in the Main Dining Room is not permitted. The Club has provided locations for you to take that call in privacy.

Permitted Use of Devices.  Texting and the quiet use of apps on mobile phones are permitted in all areas of the Club at all times (except apps with voice or sound effects that may disturb other Members or guests). Computers and other non-telephone devices (such as tablets) may be used during the day in all areas except the Main Dining Room, but must be put away by 6:00 pm, when Club social activity becomes our focus.

Confidentiality 

The Club respects the confidentiality of Members’ personal information and takes steps to preserve such confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Club will cooperate with law enforcement investigations, court orders, and subpoenas in their requests for information that may otherwise be confidential at the Club’s sole discretion consistent with applicable law.
