Home Games | Membership Terms

VERSION: 1.3

1. Scope

These terms apply only to the Home Games program of APC, which consists of commercially hosted and residentially hosted poker games. Other APC operations, such as the Bar League or online activities, may be subject to different membership terms.

2. Event Access

Every membership includes the right to attend to up to four (4) commercially hosted Home Games per month.
APC may offer additional commercially hosted Home Games when demand and scheduling allow.
Members may also receive invitations to residentially hosted Home Games. No guarantees are made regarding frequency or availability of residential events.
Seating is offered on a first-come basis, and capacity limits may apply.

3. Refund Policy

APC offers a 100% refund guarantee.
- Members who have not yet played a Home Game since registering will receive a full refund, no questions asked.
- Members who have played games may still request a refund, subject to a deduction of $5 per game attended. Example: A member who purchases a $30 membership, attends 3 Home Games, then requests a refund will receive $15 back ($30 – $15).
This refund policy also applies, with appropriate adjustments, to future membership packages such as bulk discounts.

4. Transparency & Member Rights

APC maintains a commitment to transparency in all financial matters. This includes, but is not limited to, poker prize pools, sponsor contributions, advertising revenue, merchandise sales, charitable initiatives, and operating expenses.
While APC reserves flexibility in the format and frequency of disclosures, members will always have access to a clear and accurate account of Club finances.
Members also have the right to raise concerns directly with senior officers of the Club, including the corporate board, without restriction.

5. Eligibility

Membership is open to individuals 18 years and older.
Memberships are issued on a personal basis and cannot be transferred or shared.

6. Membership Periods & Fees

Memberships are available in seasonal packages (currently 6 months, with additional options introduced at APC’s discretion).
Fees must be paid in full at registration.

7. Guest Access

Only registered members may participate in Home Games.
Guest play and free trials are not permitted.
The one-month membership option ($10), combined with the refund policy, provides a low-cost way to try the Home Games program.

8. Member Responsibilities

Members are responsible for keeping their contact information up to date.
Members must respect posted start times and locations.
Government-issued ID may be requested at registration or entry.

9. Conduct & Discipline

Members are expected to act with integrity and respect at all times.
Any action deemed harmful to APC, its members, or its reputation may result in warning, suspension, or termination of membership.
Decisions of the Club Manager are final.
Terminated memberships are not entitled to a refund. (In practice, APC may issue refunds at its discretion in cases other than cheating or violence.)

10. Privacy & Use of Information

APC collects basic information (name, email, phone) for membership and administration only.
Members may choose a display name for public use.
Real first and last names may be published in protected areas of the APC website (visible to members only).
No other personal information will be shared outside APC staff and directors.

11. Liability Waiver

Participation in APC events is at the member’s own risk.
APC and its venues are not responsible for personal injury, loss, or damage to property, except where required by law.

12. Amendments

APC reserves the right to update or amend these membership terms.
Changes made will take effect immediately; updated terms will be in force as soon as the change is reflected in the rule book present at an applicable event, and/or once it has been posted publicly on the APC website.
Although APC will always attempt to give notice, members are responsible for following changes in terms.
