• Right of refusal: We reserve the right to refuse entry or service, and to ask any guest to leave, at our discretion and consistent with applicable law. Grounds include failure to meet the dress code, intoxication, inability to produce valid identification, disorderly or unsafe conduct, harassment of guests or staff, and violations of these Terms.

5. Founders Club Membership

The Founders Club is a limited, application-based membership program. The following terms apply in addition to the rest of these Terms.

• Application and approval: Membership is by application and is granted at our sole discretion. Submitting an application does not guarantee membership. Applicants must be 21 or older.

• Dues and automatic renewal: Founding membership is $188 per month, billed monthly to the payment method on file. Your membership automatically renews each month and your card is automatically charged until you cancel. By joining, you authorize these recurring charges.

• Cancellation: Membership is month-to-month and requires sixty (60) days' written notice to cancel. Notice must be sent to howdy@darlinhenderson.com. Dues continue to be charged during the notice period, and membership benefits remain active through the end of that period.

• Refunds: Membership dues are non-refundable, including for unused months and for partial months following cancellation.

• Price changes: The founding rate is fixed for founding members for as long as the membership remains continuously active. We will provide at least 30 days' notice before any change to dues, and you may cancel under the notice terms above.

• Benefits: Membership benefits, including reserved entry, guest allowance, the private founders' menu, partner experiences, and artist series access, are described on our website and may be modified, substituted, or discontinued. Reserved entry is subject to availability and to venue capacity, and is not a guarantee of admission on any given night.

• Not a security or ownership interest: Membership is a personal, revocable license to receive the benefits described. It conveys no ownership, equity, security, or other interest in 2929 HattenLuke Hospitality Group LLC or in any of its venues, and no right to any share of revenue or profit.

• Non-transferable: Membership is personal to you and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or shared. Membership cards remain our property and must be returned or destroyed on termination.

• Suspension and termination: We may suspend or terminate a membership for non-payment, for conduct that violates these Terms or our house rules, or for any conduct that endangers guests or staff. If we terminate a membership for cause, dues already paid are not refunded. If we discontinue the program entirely, we will refund any dues paid for the month in progress.

• Failed payments: If a payment fails, we may suspend benefits and retry the charge. Membership may be terminated if the balance is not cured within 30 days.

• Cancellation: Private event and buyout cancellations must be made at least 14 days in advance to avoid additional fees. The specific cancellation schedule will be stated in your event agreement, which controls if it conflicts with this section.
