Purchase of tickets constitutes your acceptance of ALL Ticket Sales Policies and Terms for Participation of events and acceptable behavior outlined at: https://www.internationalclubdc.com/About/TicketSalesPolicy.aspx

By purchasing a ticket, you agree to our NO CANCELLATIONS OR REFUNDS policy on tickets purchased FOR ANY REASON, including but not limited to severe winter storms, weather, government actions, health matters/restrictions, changes in travel plans, work or personal commitments, urgent unanticipated travel or event postponements/rescheduling at our sole discretion due to any factor beyond our control.

We expect anyone who interacts with International Club of DC Inc. staff, volunteers, vendors, a guest or any other individual present at an event to be respectful and polite, always. For the wellbeing of our community, we have a strict zero tolerance policy for anyone who would interact or communicate in a belligerent, disrespectful, or otherwise unreasonable manner (as determined by our sole discretion). Any such interaction will result in being banned from taking part in club activities. If such interaction occurs during an event, the person responsible for such behavior will be immediately escorted out with no refund. We simply have a policy of refusing to serve anyone who is rude and/or disrespectful. If there is ever an issue, please discuss it with us politely and we will do everything we can to assist you. If a participant is banned from taking part in events for any reason, any subsequent presence of that participant at any event of International Club of DC Inc. will be considered an act of trespass irrespective of whether the participant attends with a reservation or paid ticket. We may refuse to serve anyone for not adhering to terms outlined in our Ticket Sales Policy, including our policy that all ticket sales are nonrefundable.

We work diligently to present meaningful events to our members. As hard as we work, we are not perfect, and neither are our events. If you expect perfection, you will not find perfection at our events, as our events are organized by humans who are not perfect. If you attend an event, and wish something was different, please bring it to our attention politely during the event and we will do everything possible to address your concern. However, if during or after an event, you engage in excessive and/or unreasonable complaints of dissatisfaction (as determined by our sole discretion) where we conclude that your expectations can’t be served with our resources, we may, at our sole discretion refuse to serve you at future events and ban you from taking part in future events. We would not take such action without due consideration, but as a private organization, we reserve the right to refuse to serve in the future anyone we believe we are just not able to satisfy with the resources we have.

If the event is rescheduled due to a pathogen, government guideline, mandate, or action, as well as any other factor beyond our control including weather related postponements, any ticket purchased can be transferred to attend a future International Club of DC event by emailing us at [email protected] provided that we receive your notice within 48 hours after we notify you of such postponement. By purchasing a ticket, you agree and accept that NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED, and we reserve the right to reschedule an event at our sole discretion due to factors beyond our control. Since ticket processing fees as well as payments made to vendors and/or performers engaged for the event are nonrefundable, by purchasing a ticket, you agree that we are UNABLE TO OFFER REFUNDS for cancellation, nonattendance for ANY REASON, as well as rescheduling of the event at our sole discretion due to any factor beyond our control.

Tickets will only be released to the person who purchased the tickets upon presenting photo ID AND the credit card used to reserve the tickets. Tickets are nontransferable. For the security of the credit card holder, for certain events there will be a video record of each guest collecting tickets at the registration desk upon presenting photo ID with a signature collected for acceptance of the tickets.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will tickets be released to anyone other than the credit card holder who purchased the tickets.

All ticket orders we receive are subject to review and space availability. We reserve the right to not accept a ticket order we receive for any reason, including but not limited to the limited availability of space for certain events as well as the possible cancellation or postponement of the event along with circumstances due to errors and omissions. For example, if an event is close to being sold out, and we receive a ticket order for 10 reservations, when only 3 tickets are available, we will not be able to accept the reservation for 10 tickets due to the lack of space. In such a case, we will contact you as quickly as possible (within 24 hours, when possible) and void your transaction. In the event the payment has posted for an event where we are unable to accept your reservation due to space availability, we will immediately issue a full refund of your ticket cost.

We reserve the right to request written authorization with signature and validation by photo ID for certain ticket orders. If Written Authorization and Ticket Validation is needed we will contact you after we receive your ticket order. Please note that Written Authorization and Ticket Validation for certain ticket orders is requested for your own security so that we can validate the ticket purchase was made by the authorized cardholder as well as receive written affirmation with signature to pay for the tickets. This policy especially applies to out of town ticket orders as well as tickets orders amounting to a large sum. If we do not receive the requested validation information by the designated time, tickets are subject to cancellation and in such a case we will no longer accept payment by credit card and any payment must be submitted by check or money order.

Tickets will be available for you at the designated venue or meeting location for the event. All of our events are ticketless as your name will be on the guest list at the entrance. You can pick up your tickets by presenting your photo ID. Please note that tickets will only be released to the person who purchased the tickets upon presenting photo ID matching the name of the reservation and the credit card used to reserve the tickets so if you purchased more than one ticket, please arrive for the event together with your guest(s).

We are glad to transfer your tickets to someone else as long as you notify us of the name of the guest attending in your place at least 48 hours before the event so we can make the necessary arrangements to transfer your tickets. This is especially the case for Embassy events that require us to send a complete guest list to the embassy for security purposes. If you plan to sell or offer your tickets to someone else, you MUST contact as prior to doing so as it allows us to note the change of name(s) on the guest list. We are unable to admit someone else in your place unless you contact us at least 48 hours before the event.

When you submit a ticket order, please ensure that you provide us with valid and accurate information, including your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address as this information is used to autheticate your transaction as well as contact you in case we need to validate the transaction or obtain any additional information needed to process your transaction. This is expecially important for Embassy events that require a complete and accurate guest list of all the attendees, including the names of guests. Please note that any ticket orders submitted with invalid information are subject to cancellation. For example, if you submit a ticket order with an invalid phone number and we are unable to reach you to verify your transaction, we may cancel your ticket order due to not being able to verify the transaction.

Kindly note that events start on time and we are unable to offer refunds if you arrive late or at a location other than where the event is hosted. We unfortunately do not have control of traffic, parking, or other factors that may affect your timely arrival so we kindly ask that you allow sufficient time to reach the event on time. The starting time for events along with the correct address is always listed on the online event description.
