You agree that Slow Club is not liable if any Partner changes, alters, revokes, or refuses to honor any promotion, discount, or benefit advertised on this Website.

4.1 No contract will exist between us until both parties have signed a contract agreement, or you receive an email confirmation stating your active membership status.
5.1 Slow Club offers one membership type, and car storage for an additional fee. For details of the various annual Membership privileges, limitations and fees, please fill out our inquiry form or contact info@slow.club.
5.2 All Membership fees are payable in U.S. Dollars, including any applicable sales taxes where Slow Club is required to collect them. Fees can be paid via our Website or by Invoice using a credit card, debit card, or bank ACH. Payments are considered complete only when Slow Club has received cleared funds for the full amount due.
5.3 Prospective Members will not have access to Member-only Services until we've received full payment of the Membership fee.
5.4 All Memberships have contracted periods, with full payment due upfront before the contract's effective date. Your Membership begins on the effective date and remains active until the contract's end date. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and non-refundable.
5.5 We reserve the right, at our absolute and sole discretion, to limit the number of Members or to deny Membership—both initial applications and renewals—to any person for any reason.
5.6 We reserve the right to modify our membership fee policy at any time. Any changes will take effect immediately for new members and upon membership renewal for existing Members.
5.7 By creating an account on our Website or signing a membership or storage contract you agree to abide by these terms and conditions, as well as Slow Club's Club Rules.
6.1 Most in-house events for members will be free of charge. Guests may be subject to event fees at our discretion. Off-site events and certain special events may require a fee from members, guests, and those on the guest list. Event fees, when applicable, are determined on a case-by-case basis. Fees are displayed on the event invitation in U.S. Dollars, including sales taxes where applicable. We consider payments for events complete only when we've received cleared funds for all amounts due. We reserve the right to refuse admission to an event if payment hasn't been received before the event date.
6.2 For club-only Events, you must be a current and valid Member to attend, participate, and be added to the Guest List.
6.3 We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to limit attendance at any Event or to prevent any Member or Guest from participating—or continuing to participate—in any Event on reasonable grounds.
6.4 We reserve the right to cancel or change the date, time, program, or venue of any Event for any reason, including situations where the required number of participants hasn't been met by the applicable deadline. If you purchase ticket(s) for an Event, we'll use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you of any changes as soon as possible. You agree that it's your responsibility to inform anyone for whom you've bought tickets about any Event changes.
6.5 Our liability regarding Event cancellations or changes is limited to refunding any fees you've paid for that specific Event.
6.6 Most events have limited capacity, with priority given to Members. An invitation doesn't guarantee attendance. Members, their Guests, Users, and third parties are only confirmed for an Event after registering—unless we advise otherwise—and receiving an email confirming their place on the Guest List. As attendance is generally first-come, first-served, we encourage you to register for desired Events as soon as possible.
6.7 We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of Event information displayed on our Website or communicated to you. If we publish incorrect Event details, we'll strive to correct these errors and inform you as quickly as possible.
6.8 If you need to cancel your participation in an Event you've registered for, please notify us in writing as soon as possible so we can offer your spot on the Guest List to those on the Waitlist. If you're a Member with Guests attending, your cancellation will also cancel their attendance. If we don't have your Guests' contact information, it's your responsibility to inform them of the cancellation.
7.1 By attending any Event or visiting the club during normal business hours, you agree to conduct yourself in a responsible and respectful manner towards other attendees, the general public, and third parties. We do not assume responsibility for your actions or those of any other Member or attendee at any Event.
7.2 Members, Guests, and third parties attending Events or visiting the club during normal business hours must behave responsibly and appropriately. Those who fail to do so (for example, by acting in a drunken or disorderly manner) may be expelled, suspended, or prevented from continuing with an Event at our sole discretion. We may also terminate Membership or prevent attendance at future Events on these grounds. You acknowledge that venue owners/operators, sponsors, or other organizers may also refuse admission or stop participation in an Event for similar reasons. Slow Club does not serve alcohol, though alcoholic beverages are available. Members are solely responsible for their alcohol consumption and subsequent conduct.
7.3 By using this Website and/or attending any Event, you consent to the use of your photo, image, name, and voice in our social media and promotional materials. This consent extends to the websites, social media, and promotional materials of our affiliates, partners, sponsors, venue suppliers, food and beverage suppliers, and others with whom we do business or cross-promote.
If you choose to store your vehicle with Slow Club, the following terms apply:
8.1 Members must provide proof of vehicle ownership when dropping off their vehicle.
8.2 Customers are responsible for maintaining appropriate motor vehicle insurance coverage, including liability and full stated value physical coverage, from the Storage Effective Date until the agreement expires. The customer agrees that their insurers will waive all rights of subrogation against Slow Club LLC, the building owners, and the Storage Facility manager. If a customer fails to maintain appropriate insurance coverage for their vehicle(s) during this period, Slow Club will not be liable for any damage that would have been covered by the customer's insurance policy.
8.3 Member agrees to rent one or more vehicle parking spaces at Slow Club's facilities located at 5301 Edina Industrial Blvd Ste 7, Minneapolis, MN 55439 and/or 6600 City W Pkwy, Eden Prairie, MN 55344.
8.4 All charges must be paid in full before removing any vehicle from the property.
8.5 If the monthly rent and all other charges are not received in full by their required due date, the member will incur a late charge fee of $50 per instance, as outlined in the payment terms, in addition to the monthly rental charge. For payments not made within a 60-day period, Slow Club reserves the right to remove the vehicle from indoor storage. Slow Club is not liable for damage or theft of vehicles removed from storage due to non-payment. If payments remain outstanding for 90 days or more, Slow Club may consider the vehicle abandoned and place a mechanic's lien on it to obtain title.
8.6 Vehicle access for entry or exit requires an appointment with sufficient notice, as specified in the storage agreement.
8.7 The Member has inspected the space and its surrounding areas and deems them to be in satisfactory condition.
8.8 Members will only store property they legally own and will not store items claimed by or in which another person has an interest.
8.9 Slow Club will not be responsible for any damage to property or injury to Members or other persons, unless Slow Club intentionally causes such damage or injury. Members will be liable for any damage or injury not resulting from Slow Club's intentional conduct.
8.10 Members acknowledge that Slow Club does not and will not insure members' property. Each member is solely responsible for insuring their own property.
8.11 Members are not permitted to perform mechanical work on their vehicles while stored at Slow Club.
