Terms and Conditions

Chapter 01

Using the website

Thegildedodds.com is provided to help visitors learn about The Gilde Dodds restaurant, card lounge, card room, offline poker experiences, events and reservation pathways. Please use it carefully, lawfully and with consideration for other visitors.

You may browse and use the website for personal, genuine planning and information purposes. You must not use the site in a way that is unlawful, misleading, harmful, or likely to interfere with its operation or another person’s use of it.
Please do not attempt to disrupt, bypass, overload or misuse website features, including any reservation or enquiry pathway. Information supplied through those pathways should be complete, accurate and current to the best of your knowledge.
Website information is prepared to assist visitors, but it may be updated as venue arrangements, programmes or operational details change. If a detail matters to a planned visit, event or gathering, please check the information provided through the relevant reservation or enquiry route.
We do not represent that every item of website content will remain continuously current or available. Visitors should avoid relying on a page alone where a confirmation or event-specific communication is relevant to their arrangements.

Chapter 02

Reservations and poker-session enquiries

Restaurant reservations and poker-session enquiries are requests for consideration. They help The Gilde Dodds understand the experience you are seeking, but they are not confirmed arrangements unless the venue confirms them through the relevant pathway.

Please provide details that are relevant to your request, such as the nature of the visit, the arrangement you are considering and any information needed for the venue to assess it. Accurate information supports clear communication and considered planning.
Confirmation and practical arrangements may be communicated through the relevant reservation or enquiry pathway. Space, staffing, programme needs and other operational considerations can affect whether an arrangement can be accommodated.
If your requested arrangement changes, please raise that change as early as practicable through the appropriate pathway. This does not impose a fixed timeframe; it simply allows the venue to consider the updated information in context.

Group and event arrangements

Private gatherings, card events, dining arrangements and social entertainment may require details to be agreed separately. The information relevant to one gathering may not apply to another.
Venue arrangements can depend on available space, staffing, the proposed programme and operational needs. Any information supplied for a particular arrangement should be read together with the communication relevant to that arrangement.

Chapter 03

Venue conduct and participation

The Gilde Dodds is intended to be a considerate, face-to-face setting for dining, social card entertainment and shared venue experiences. Visitors help create that atmosphere through respectful conduct and attention to reasonable venue guidance.

Conduct

Please treat other guests, staff and the venue with respect in the restaurant, card lounge, card room, at poker tables and in shared spaces. Conduct that unsettles, misleads or unreasonably disrupts others is not consistent with the intended environment.
Visitors should follow reasonable directions from venue staff or hosts that relate to safety, comfort and operations. These directions may be adapted to the particular space, event or service taking place.

Card activities

Offline poker, live poker, card-room sessions, poker tables and social poker gatherings are face-to-face, social card experiences. Their format, seating, timing and participation guidance may vary according to the event or arrangement.
Where a host or staff member provides instructions for a session or card event, guests should observe those instructions. Not every table or session is available at every time, and venue information for a particular arrangement may include additional practical guidance.

Hospitality

Quality food and drinks are part of the shared hospitality experience. Where practical, visitors should communicate relevant requests or needs through the appropriate reservation or enquiry pathway so the information can be considered in planning the visit.
Requests are considered in the context of the relevant service and venue arrangements. Visitors should not assume that a particular item, ingredient, service detail or preference will be available unless it is confirmed for their arrangement.

Chapter 04

Events, food and drinks

Themed card events, refined dining, food and drinks, and social entertainment may involve details that are specific to an occasion. Please rely on the information supplied for the relevant arrangement rather than assuming that one event or service description applies to all visits.

Event and service information

Event format, participating hosts, timing, seating, menu availability and use of venue spaces may change where appropriate. A change does not necessarily affect every arrangement, but it may mean that the most relevant information is the communication issued for the occasion concerned.
Before attending an event or planned gathering, visitors should review any event-specific or confirmation information that is made available. This helps ensure expectations about the occasion are based on the current arrangement rather than a general website description.

Chapter 05

Content, materials and external services

The written content, visual material, design elements and identifying materials on The Gilde Dodds website and connected venue materials are presented for visitors to view in connection with the venue and its experiences.

You may view the site and share a link to it for ordinary personal purposes. You should not copy, adapt, republish or use site content or venue materials in a misleading way, or in a way that suggests approval or association where this has not been given.
Permission may be required before reusing material beyond ordinary personal viewing. This includes written descriptions, design elements, identifying materials and other content that is recognisably connected with The Gilde Dodds.

Site content: Information, text, layout and design elements made available through the website.
Venue materials: Materials that identify, describe or represent The Gilde Dodds and its venue experiences.

Your material

If a website pathway allows you to submit information or material, please do not submit anything unlawful, harmful or misleading. Only provide information that is relevant to the request or arrangement you are making.

External links

If the website links to an external destination, that destination may operate under its own terms and privacy practices. Visitors should review those materials before using an external service.

Chapter 06

Privacy and communications

Personal information supplied through reservation or poker-session enquiry pathways is addressed through the privacy information made available on this site. These terms provide a high-level framework only and do not replace that separate privacy information.

Please provide accurate information that is relevant to your enquiry, reservation or venue arrangement. Avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through general website pathways.
Detailed information about how personal information is handled is set out in the site’s Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy should be read with these terms when you use a pathway that involves providing personal information.

Communications

Relevant replies or updates may be sent in connection with an enquiry, reservation request or confirmed venue arrangement. Please check the details you provide so that communications can relate to the right request or arrangement.
This section concerns operational communications connected with a visitor’s request or arrangement. It does not describe a broader communications programme or replace information set out in the Privacy Policy.

Chapter 07

Availability and responsibility

Website access, venue operations, restaurant service, card lounge use, card-room sessions and events can be affected by changing circumstances. The Gilde Dodds will communicate relevant arrangements where appropriate, but visitors should understand that some details may change or be interrupted.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, website content and venue information should be understood in the context of the relevant arrangement and its current communications. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the website or that every planned experience, session or event will proceed exactly as first described.
Venue arrangements may be changed, postponed or affected by operational circumstances or factors outside the venue’s reasonable control. This is not intended to remove any rights that apply to visitors under applicable law.
Visitors should make decisions about a planned visit using the most relevant information available to them. Where a confirmation or event-specific communication exists, it is generally more useful than a broad website description for that particular arrangement.

Chapter 08

Changes to terms

These terms may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, venue experiences or the way arrangements are described. Visitors should review this document periodically, particularly when their plans or the information relevant to an arrangement changes.

Updated terms may apply after they are published on the website, subject to applicable law. Continued use of the site or venue-related pathways after an update may be treated in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances of that use.
If a current arrangement is supported by more specific information or communication, that information should be considered alongside these terms. An update to general website terms does not automatically answer every practical question about an individual visit, event or enquiry.

Chapter 09

General provisions

These terms are intended to provide a clear, plain-English framework for website use and venue-related experiences at The Gilde Dodds. They should be read reasonably, in context and together with any information that is specifically relevant to a visitor’s request or arrangement.

Where a provision of these terms is limited by applicable law, it should operate only to the extent permitted by that law. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude, restrict or modify rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
These terms do not create a guarantee that a particular website feature, venue arrangement, restaurant service, card-room session or event will be available. They explain the general basis on which visitors may use the website and participate in venue-related pathways and experiences.
Any question about a particular arrangement should be considered using the information supplied for that arrangement. This document remains a general framework rather than a replacement for applicable law or any rights that apply to visitors.
