With a free membership you can register for dinners and communicate afterward with those you've dined with.

With a paid membership you can do what free members do, plus view the profiles of those registered for upcoming dinners, and purchase packages of discounted dinner-for-six credits, which can bring registration fees as low as $11 per dinner instead of the usual $16.

In addition, you will be responsible for the cost of your own food and drink at the restaurant. To help facilitate this we arrange in advance for the restaurants to provide separate checks to everyone in attendance. You will be ordering off the menu and your cost will reflect your actual purchases. Estimated costs as shown on the restaurant details pages are just that, estimates from Zagat.com, and represent their estimate of the cost for one person's dinner with one drink, tax, and gratuity.

Occasionally we offer other special events with varying prices. Dinner-for-six credits cannot be used for this purpose. For these events as long as you cancel by 48 hours prior (unless otherwise specified for that event) you will receive a refund less a $5 service charge. See the cancellation policy for more details.

While we make significant efforts to enforce this policy consistently, among all participants, there is no guarantee that every participant has provided age verification, or that the provided documentation has not been altered. Providing altered age verification is grounds for account deactivation and forfeiture of all fees paid.

Photos deemed unacceptable will be removed from the site and you will be required to upload an acceptable replacement prior to registering for events. Examples of unacceptable photos include, but are not limited to, those in which you are undressed or scantily clad, shown performing violent or sexual acts, or any photo otherwise found to be inappropriate by us.

Cancellations are done via the website, in the same manner that you register for a dinner. Visit the specific event details page, either via the link on the main schedule, or via "My Account - Current Registrations", and click "Cancel Registration" at the bottom of the page. You will be immediately removed from the dinner and issued a cancellation receipt email. If you do not receive the email or would otherwise like to ensure that the cancellation completed successfully, visit "My Account" and click "Current Registrations". Only dinners that you are still registered for will be listed.

If you cancel more than 48 hours before a dinner you will receive a dinner-for-six registration fee credited back to your account, which can be used to register for a future dinner of your choice.

The 1st time you cancel less than 48 hours before a dinner you will forfeit the dinner credit used or registration fee paid.

The 2nd time you cancel less than 48 hours before a dinner you will forfeit the dinner credit used or registration fee paid AND forfeit one additional dinner credit AND your account will be suspended for two weeks.

The 3rd time you cancel less than 48 hours before a dinner you will forfeit the dinner credit used or registration fee paid AND forfeit two additional dinner credits AND your account will be suspended for one month.

The 4th time you cancel less than 48 hours before a dinner your account will be permanently deactivated and you will forfeit any remaining membership or dinner credits on your account.

If you cancel less than 24 hours before a dinner, the resulting penalty and/or suspension will be doubled.

No-Shows - If you do not show up at a dinner that you are registered for, or arrive at the restaurant and then leave without joining our group, or arrive at the dinner more than an hour late, and do not at least call us in advance to notify us of your status, then your account will be permanently deactivated and you will forfeit any remaining membership or dinner credits on your account. Things happen, we understand this, but please at least call so we can attempt to mitigate the damage to the dinner for the other participants. Doing so also means the difference for you between a cancellation and a no-show on your record.

Exceptions - The only exception to the cancellation and no-show policy will be for emergencies supported by written documentation. In these cases, you will still forfeit the one dinner credit used or registration fee paid, but you will not be subject to the additional penalties, and the cancellation or no-show will not count on your cancellation record.

Forfeited dinner credits will be deducted from your dinner credit balance. If you do not have sufficient dinner credits in your account, you will be required to purchase credits to pay the penalty before your account will be removed from suspension.

Suspended accounts will forfeit any paid membership for the period of suspension. Upon suspension, any future dinner registrations will be cancelled, and the resulting dinner credits will be returned to your account for future use.

You may remove one cancellation from your history by registering for and attending three dinners in a row without cancelling. You will not be refunded for any penalties or forfeited membership, but you will move up one level, reducing future penalties if you should need to cancel under the deadline again. This may be repeated as necessary to remove additional cancellations.

The goal of the cancellation and no-show policy is to ensure the success of our dinners for the participants who do attend. Please show your fellow members the common courtesy of following through and help make this a fun experience for all involved.

To request a refund mail a certified letter to Tasty Dining Networks, 4224 Glencoe Ave., Unit A, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, and include your name, user name, telephone number, and mailing address. Please allow up to 30 days for processing and mail.

Filing a chargeback with your credit card company is not an acceptable method of obtaining a refund. If you file a chargeback with your credit card company you will be in violation of our terms and conditions, and as such will forfeit your right to a refund. All chargebacks will result in immediate deactivation of the users account and dispute through our credit card processor. In the event that we do not recoup the funds in this manner, the account will be turned over to a collection agency, and ultimately to small claims court if necessary. We have a clearly defined refund policy designed to maximize the experience of all participants. Complying with this policy is the only way to qualify for a refund.

To be eligible for a refund, as a result of cancelled dinners (see item 7 above), your profile must meet these guidelines and must have met them during the time that you were registered for the dinners.
