You apply, we review, we charge your card only if accepted. You can cancel until a week out for a full refund. Behave according to the Code of Conduct, accept that Doubles isn't a guarantee of romance, and we're square.
01 Definitions.
To save you re-reading the same nouns twice — here's what we mean when we use these words.
02 Eligibility & application.
To apply for and attend a Doubles event, you must be:
- At least 21 years old.
- Single — meaning not currently in a committed relationship or marriage. We trust you to define this honestly.
- Able to enter binding agreements in your jurisdiction.
The application is not a ticket. Submitting an application is a request to attend. We review every application against the curation of the room and respond within 48 hours. We may decline applications for any lawful reason. We do not, and will not, decline applications on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or other protected characteristics.
You're applying to a curated room. We can say no, but never for a reason we couldn't say out loud.
The friend you bring.
Doubles requires you to bring one friend who also meets the eligibility criteria above. Your friend must complete their own questionnaire. We evaluate each guest independently — your acceptance does not guarantee your friend's, and vice versa.
03 Payment & fees.
Each Doubles event has a per-person fee, communicated at the time of application. For Vol. 01, the fee is $145 per person. The fee covers catering, beverage, venue, programming, and production.
- Card capture, not card charge. When you apply, we collect payment details but do not charge them. No money moves until you and your friend are both confirmed.
- Confirmation triggers charge. Once both halves of the doubles pair are accepted, both cards are charged simultaneously, in full, for the event fee.
- If either side is declined, no card is charged and no obligation is created.
You won't be charged until your friend is also confirmed. We don't take money speculatively.
All fees are in US dollars. Payment processing is handled by our payments provider — Doubles does not store full card numbers on our own systems. See our Privacy Policy for details.
04 Cancellations & refunds.
You may cancel at any time before the event, with the following refund schedule:
- More than 7 days before the event: 100% refund, no questions asked.
- 2 — 7 days before: 50% refund. The other 50% goes to the catering deposit, which is non-recoverable by that point.
- Inside 48 hours: No monetary refund — but you may transfer your seat to another single who meets eligibility, subject to our review and approval.
If Doubles cancels.
In the rare event we cancel a Doubles night (act-of-god, venue failure, illness in the team), we will issue a 100% refund to every confirmed guest within five business days, and we will offer first-priority confirmed seats at the next volume.
Cancel a week out? Full refund. Cancel the night before? You can send someone else, but you can't get the money back.
05 Conduct & removal.
Attendance at a Doubles event is conditional on adherence to the Code of Conduct, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
We reserve the right to remove any guest from a Doubles event, with no refund, for material violation of the Code of Conduct. We also reserve the right to decline future applications from any guest who has been previously removed or warned.
Our enforcement framework — three levels: a quiet word, a formal warning, or removal — is described in §07 of the Code of Conduct. We exercise enforcement at our reasonable discretion, applied consistently to all guests regardless of standing or seniority.
06 Liability & venue.
Doubles is a social event. We make no guarantees about who you'll meet, whether any romantic connection will result, or what the rest of your life will look like afterward. We promise a beautifully produced evening with carefully curated people — what happens between you and another guest is your responsibility, not ours.
Venue conditions.
Doubles events take place in private residences. By attending, you agree to:
- Treat the venue and its contents with reasonable care.
- Comply with any house-specific instructions communicated by Doubles staff (shoe removal, restricted areas, parking).
- Accept responsibility for damage you cause to the venue or its property.
Indemnification.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Doubles, LLC, our hosts, and our employees are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your attendance — including but not limited to emotional, romantic, professional, or reputational outcomes. Our total liability to you, for any cause, is limited to the amount you paid for the event.
We host a great party. We can't promise it'll change your life, and we can't be sued if it doesn't.
07 Intellectual property.
The Doubles name, logo, the "Doubles, not solos." tagline, the doubles.singles website design, and all related branding are the property of Doubles, LLC. You may not reproduce them for commercial use without our written permission.
Photography & recordings.
Photos and recordings of the event — including the Volley fireside chat — are the property of Doubles, LLC. We may use them for marketing, retrospective coverage, and the Doubles Dispatch newsletter. We will not publish recognizable images of any specific guest without their explicit consent.
If you appear in a photo we wish to use, we'll email you for approval at the address on file. You may opt out at any time, including retroactively — we will replace the image and remove past instances within thirty days.
08 Changes & contact.
We update these Terms occasionally as Doubles evolves. Material changes — anything affecting your payment, refund rights, or obligations — will be emailed to current applicants and confirmed guests at least 14 days before they take effect.
This version of the Terms supersedes any prior version. By continuing to use the Site or attending a Doubles event after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
