Terms of Use

Acceptable Website Use

You may use this website for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes, including learning about our restaurant, events, Card Lounge and social poker experiences, and contacting us about a reservation.

You must not misuse the website, attempt to gain unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, interfere with its operation, scrape content using automated means without permission, or use the website in a way that infringes another person’s rights or applicable law.

Age and Eligibility

Content concerning poker, the Card Lounge and related events is intended for adults aged 18 years and over. You must meet all age and identification requirements that apply at the venue. We may request valid identification and refuse entry or participation where eligibility cannot be verified.

Our poker experiences are promoted as in-person social entertainment. Nothing on this website is an invitation to participate in unlawful gambling, and guests must comply with venue rules and all applicable laws.

Bookings and Cancellations

A booking request is not confirmed until you receive confirmation from us. Availability, session times, menus, pricing, minimum spends, group sizes and event formats may change. Additional booking, cancellation or deposit conditions disclosed during the reservation process form part of these terms.

Please provide accurate and current information when making a booking. Contact us as soon as possible if your plans change. We may modify or cancel a booking where reasonably necessary because of safety, operational requirements, events beyond our control or a breach of these terms, and will communicate available options where practicable.

Venue Conduct

Guests must behave respectfully toward staff, other guests and venue property, follow reasonable staff directions, and comply with responsible service, safety and house rules. We may refuse service or entry, or require a guest to leave, where permitted by law, including for unsafe, disruptive, abusive or unlawful conduct.

You are responsible for damage caused by you or members of your party, subject to applicable law.

Website Content and Availability

We aim to keep website information accurate and current, but photographs, menus, availability, prices and descriptions are indicative and may change without notice. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, secure or free from errors.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial or gambling advice. Before relying on information that is important to your visit, please confirm the details with our team.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its text, branding, graphics, photographs, layout and other content are owned by or licensed to The Fortunate Forte and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view and temporarily download website content for personal use. You must not reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell or commercially exploit it without our prior written permission.

Third-Party Links and Services

This website may link to third-party booking, mapping, payment, social media or other services. Those services are operated independently and are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party websites or services merely because we link to them.

Privacy

Our collection and handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. By submitting a booking or enquiry, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorised to provide any information relating to other members of your party.

Liability and Consumer Rights

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights available under the Australian Consumer Law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website. You remain responsible for your personal belongings and for making decisions appropriate to your own circumstances while visiting the venue.

Changes and Governing Law

We may update these terms from time to time by publishing the revised version on this page. Changes take effect when published. Your continued use of the website after an update means the revised terms apply to that use.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Australian state or territory in which The Fortunate Forte operates, and disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of its courts, subject to any rights you have under applicable law.
