COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS
1) To act as an introduction service and to set up dinner parties and
other social events (up to 40 per annum) with associate companies.
2) To notify the member of all events which the company in its own absolute
discretion thinks the member may be interested in attending. The company
guarantees a minimum of six invitations (although in practice most members
will be offered in excess of 20 per annum). It is not the company’s
practice to hassle members. If a member fails to respond to three consecutive
invitations, the company will wait to hear from that member before offering
further invitations.
MEMBERS OBLIGATIONS

code is best described as smart casual. The member acknowledges that the

order before attending his first event.
3) To pre-pay for all the events which the member wishes to participate.

party, he must do so prior to seven days before the start time of the
event to obtain a full refund, Cancellations between 72 hours and one
week will only be entitled to a 50% refund. Cancellations of less than
72 hours prior to a dinner/lunch party or less than three weeks prior
to a special event such as the annual cruise cannot be refunded. Theatre
type trips will only be refunded if the company can secure the ticket
with another member. When a member agrees to attend an event, either verbally
or otherwise, he will be bound to pay for that event unless the appropriate
cancellation notice is given.
4) To behave with decorum and propriety at any event organised by the
company. The company reserve the right to expel from an event any member

members. Such behaviour may result in termination of membership with no
refund.

of merger or reconstruction.

share these records with a third party.

affect statutory rights which a member may have enabling him to claim
against a third party responsible for such loss, damage or injury other
than the company.

months thereafter that he will obtain written permission from Out &

he arranges without written permission from Out & Out.

membership may be immediately terminated without prejudice to the company’s
