Terms and Conditions

Terms for the house

These Terms and Conditions guide use of the Chance and Hearth website and engagement with information about ember-lit dining, venue discovery, the card room, poker tables, offline poker, Texas Hold’em tournaments, and high roller experiences. Please read them before using site content or arranging an in-person visit. The website is an information and contact pathway only; every poker-related experience described here is conducted strictly in person at the venue.

For a question about these terms, contact the venue directly at [email protected]. This page is intended to make the relevant expectations easy to find and understand.

01 / Website use

Acceptance and appropriate website use

The site is designed to help visitors understand the Chance and Hearth venue world. Use it carefully, respectfully, and as a source of current venue-facing information.

  1. Acceptance of terms

    By continuing to use the Chance and Hearth website, you indicate that you accept these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the website and do not rely on its content for your intended visit. These terms concern website use and venue information; they do not create a remote participation service.

  2. Lawful and respectful use

    Please use the website lawfully, accurately, and in a way that does not interfere with access for other visitors. Do not attempt unauthorised access, disrupt normal operation, introduce harmful material, or use site content in a misleading way. We ask that enquiries and information supplied to Chance and Hearth remain relevant, respectful, and suitable for a venue-focused conversation.

  3. Information-led venue discovery

    The website helps visitors discover Chance and Hearth, including ember-lit dining, the card room, poker tables, offline poker programming, Texas Hold’em tournaments, high roller experiences, and venue discovery. Attendance and participation take place at the physical venue. Offline poker experiences are conducted strictly in person, and no website page provides gameplay or remote participation.

02 / At the venue

Venue visits, dining, and card room conduct

Chance and Hearth is a shared setting. A considered approach helps preserve the composed atmosphere across dining, discovery visits, and the card room.

  1. Shared venue atmosphere

    Guests are asked to contribute to a respectful and considerate environment across ember-lit dining, venue discovery visits, and shared public areas. Please be mindful of staff and other guests, and allow each space to retain its intended rhythm. This expectation is about courtesy and care for the house, not a list of additional entry or access conditions.

  2. In the card room

    Card room and poker table etiquette

    Visitors using the card room or approaching poker tables should follow on-site direction and respect the pace, space, and participation of others. This applies to offline poker, Texas Hold’em tournaments, and high roller experiences alike. Each of these occasions is conducted strictly in person, and venue guidance helps keep the setting calm, clear, and considerate for everyone present.

  3. Staff direction and safe access

    Please follow reasonable directions from Chance and Hearth staff concerning venue access, shared spaces, event flow, and the comfort of other visitors. These directions support a composed experience across dining and card room settings. They are intended to help visitors move through the venue with consideration for the people and spaces around them.

03 / Participation language

Offline poker, clearly stated

Chance and Hearth poker, offline poker, Texas Hold’em tournaments, high roller experiences, poker tables, and card room activity are conducted strictly in person at the venue. Website content is informational: it helps visitors understand the setting and make direct contact, but it does not create an online participation environment or provide any form of remote play.

Meaning of buy-in

On this website, “buy-in” means a chips-only table allocation for an in-person table setting. The term should be understood only in that defined context whenever it appears in connection with Chance and Hearth.

04 / Information

Content accuracy and availability

We aim to make venue information useful and clear while recognising that practical arrangements can change.

  1. Informational content

    Chance and Hearth aims to keep website information useful and clear. Descriptions of ember-lit dining, the card room, poker tables, and venue discovery are provided for general information and to support an informed visit. They should be read as a guide to the venue rather than as a promise that every detail will remain unchanged in every circumstance.

  2. Changes to programming and venue details

    Practical details relating to offline poker, Texas Hold’em tournaments, high roller experiences, dining, and venue arrangements may change. Before attending, please confirm current details directly with Chance and Hearth. Poker programming remains strictly in person at the venue, and direct confirmation is the best way to clarify a detail that matters to your intended visit.

  3. No reliance beyond direct confirmation

    When a detail is important to your intended venue visit or participation, use direct confirmation from Chance and Hearth. This is especially helpful for event flow and on-site arrangements. A concise enquiry to [email protected] can help you check the current information before you attend.

05 / Site material

Intellectual property and linked resources

Site material and any external destinations should be approached with the same care as the rest of this document.

Chance and Hearth material

Personal, informational use

Website text, imagery, design elements, and brand material associated with Chance and Hearth are provided for personal, informational use unless permission is obtained. Please do not copy, republish, or misuse material in a way that suggests affiliation or creates a false impression about the venue. This provision concerns original site material and the venue’s visual identity as presented here.

External resources

Convenience, where provided

If links to third-party websites are provided, they are included for convenience. Chance and Hearth does not control the content or terms of those destinations. Before using an external resource, review its own information and conditions. The presence of a link does not change the scope of these Terms and Conditions or create responsibility for another website.

06 / Privacy and updates

Privacy, communications, and term updates

Dedicated policy pages provide further information, while this section explains the practical expectations around communication and returning to these terms.

  1. Privacy and cookies

    For information about how the website handles relevant information and cookie choices, please read the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Those pages are the appropriate place for policy detail. This provision is a clear signpost, rather than a replacement for the information contained in those dedicated documents.

  2. Direct communications

    If you contact Chance and Hearth, please provide accurate and respectful information relevant to your question or intended in-person venue visit. Enquiries may relate to dining, the card room, poker tables, offline poker, Texas Hold’em tournaments, high roller experiences, or venue discovery. Keeping an enquiry focused helps the venue respond with useful information about the physical setting you intend to visit.

  3. Updates to these terms

    Chance and Hearth may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. When returning to the website, please review the current page so you can understand the terms that apply to your ongoing use. Continued use of the website is subject to the terms currently published here.
