Rabbit & Rye · The Founding Circle

Patron Terms

Effective: November 1, 2026

These terms apply to your (the "patron") purchase and use of a Rabbit & Rye Founding Circle Founders' Package. They are subject to change from time to time by email or by posting an updated policy on the Rabbit & Rye website, provided that Rabbit & Rye will not materially decrease the value of a given benefit except as set forth herein.

IMPORTANT: This is a customer presale / hospitality-benefit program, not an investment offer. No equity, company membership interest or units, profit share, interest, cash dividend, or financial return is offered. Entry to the Founding Circle closes shortly before Rabbit & Rye opening night.

Program terms

Program nature: Founders' Packages are purchases of specified hospitality experiences, discounts, and recognition. They do not provide ownership, company membership interests or units, voting rights, profit participation, interest, cash dividends, financial returns, repayment, or investment returns of any kind.

Opening delay: Benefits that require the venue begin only after Rabbit & Rye opens for public service. If opening is delayed, Rabbit & Rye will provide a status update at least every 30 days after the originally announced opening date. If Rabbit & Rye has not opened for public service within 12 months after the patron's purchase date, the patron may elect a refund of the unused portion of the purchase price or continue to wait, subject to applicable law and any non-waivable rights.

Refunds: All Founders' Package purchases are final and non-refundable, except: (1) if Rabbit & Rye cannot provide a material purchased benefit and cannot provide a reasonably comparable substitute of equal value, the patron may receive a refund of the allocated value of the affected unused benefit. Please contact Rabbit & Rye for a list of benefit values according to your level; (2) if Rabbit & Rye has not opened for public service within 12 months after the patron's purchase date, the patron may elect a refund of the unused portion of the purchase price or continue to wait; and (3) any additional refund required by applicable law. The patron must affirmatively acknowledge the non-refundable policy before purchase. The package price is a one-time charge, not a recurring charge. Schedules, live programming, and product rollouts may change; that alone does not qualify for a refund.

Transferability: Each Founders' Package is issued to one named individual and is non-transferable, except that Rabbit & Rye may approve a one-time transfer in writing. Benefits requiring the patron's presence cannot be redeemed by another person without written approval.

Cancellation by Rabbit & Rye: If Rabbit & Rye cancels a confirmed experience or cannot provide a material purchased benefit, the patron may choose a rescheduled date or a reasonably comparable substitute of equal value. If Rabbit & Rye cannot provide the benefit and no reasonably comparable substitute of equal value is available or acceptable, Rabbit & Rye will refund the allocated value of the cancelled or affected unused benefit, subject to applicable law and final written terms.

Changes to menu or operations: Menus, brands, and specific products may change due to seasonality, availability, supplier changes, and licensing requirements. Rabbit & Rye may provide a reasonably comparable substitute. Core purchased benefits and the stated Founder's Happy-Hour Pricing rules may not be materially changed except as permitted by the final written terms and applicable law.

Taxes and gratuity: Unless expressly stated otherwise, package prices do not include taxes, gratuity, or service charges. Any applicable tax treatment will be determined with professional advice and disclosed before purchase.

Capacity and conduct: All experiences are subject to capacity, safety rules, responsible alcohol service, and applicable law. Rabbit & Rye may refuse service as required or permitted by law. Patrons and guests must comply with venue policies.

Entire terms: The final package terms, purchase receipt, and any signed event order will govern. Marketing summaries are not substitutes for the final terms. If any term is unenforceable, the remaining terms will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.

Opening, delays & refunds

Pre-opening purchase. A Founders' Package is a prepaid purchase of the specific benefits, goods, or services described for the selected tier. It is not an investment, an ownership interest, a loan, or a promise of financial return.

Opening date: To be announced. Rabbit & Rye's opening timeline has not yet been confirmed. Venue-dependent package benefits begin after opening and operational readiness. The only currently deliverable item is the digital Founding Circle Member plaque, intended for delivery within six months of purchase; an extension may be discussed if unforeseeable circumstances arise.

Founders' Package purchases are non-refundable except for the stated benefit-substitution and 12-month opening-delay exceptions below, and any additional rights required by law.

Significant opening delay. If Rabbit & Rye has not opened for public service within 12 months after the patron's purchase date, the patron may elect a refund of the unused portion of the purchase price or continue to wait. To request a refund, email info@rabbitandrye.com. Any rights required by applicable law remain unaffected.

Cancellation before opening. Founders' Package purchases are final and non-refundable, including before opening, except for the opening-delay exception above, the benefit-substitution exception below, and any additional rights required by applicable law. The patron must acknowledge this non-refundable policy before purchase. This is a one-time payment, not a recurring charge. Changes to anticipated schedules, live programming, menus, or product rollouts do not by themselves qualify for a refund.

If Rabbit & Rye cannot deliver a promised benefit. Rabbit & Rye reserves the right to substitute any program benefit listed above with one of equal or greater value, in Rabbit & Rye's sole discretion, upon reasonable notice to the patron. If Rabbit & Rye cannot provide a given benefit and cannot provide a reasonably comparable substitute of equal or greater value, the patron may receive a refund of the allocated value of the affected unused benefit. If Rabbit & Rye cannot open or deliver the package substantially as promised, the 12-month opening-delay provision above and applicable law apply.

Reservations and redemption. Experience-based benefits require advance booking and are subject to reasonable availability, disclosed blackout dates, licensing restrictions, and the written terms for that tier. Rabbit & Rye will provide a reasonable opportunity to book and redeem benefits. It will not use scheduling restrictions to defeat the promised benefit.

Refund method and timing. Approved refunds will be returned to the original payment method where practicable, within the period stated in the final policy and subject to payment-provider processing times. Statutory rights and any mandatory refund deadlines take precedence.

Changes and contact. Patrons will receive notice of material changes to package delivery. Questions or refund requests may be submitted to info@rabbitandrye.com.
