1. PAYMENT METHODS: Submitting Reservations and Payments
Payments are by check or money order only. We do not accept credit cards, fax, email or telephone reservations. NOTE: We are UNABLE to receive Express Mail, Certified Mail, or Registered Mail or any mail that requires us to stand in postal lines.

Confirmed Reservations: YOUR CASHED CHECK IS YOUR CONFIRMATION. HOWEVER, IF YOUR CHECK DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CASHED BY THE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT, CALL TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND/OR DEPOSITED. Most likely you are included on the reservations list and in the attendance count(even if the transaction does not appear on your account at the time). So if in doubt, CALL to confirm that you are on the attendee list. NO-SHOWS CANNOT BE ROLLED-OVER. Paid reservations are non-refundable but are transferable to someone else on the date paid for only.

YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION: For our attendance list and for security purposes, you must list your contact phone number and the names of all guests who are paid for on your check. (If you do not provide us with a telephone contact number, we will not be responsible for any inconvenience you experience if we are unable to reach you in an emergency.)

For our attendance list and for security purposes, you must list your contact phone number and the full legal names of all guests who are paid for on your check (including yours). You should also indicate if you or your guests wish to use a performing or professional name on your name tags. Please note that if you do not provide us with a telephone contact number, you will be accepting full responsibility for our inability to notify you in case of a change in venue, a local or national emergency or other unforeseen emergency.

Box 2688, Hollywood, CA 90078. (Tel: 323-465-9800).

*A REQUIRED RESERVATION FORM is available in Adobe PDF format for you to conveniently display, print, complete and MAIL in with your check; however, in order to do so, you need to have Adobe’s free Acrobat reader installed on your computer. To access the reservation form, click HERE.

COMPANY CHECKS: If you are sending us a company check, please indicate for whom the reservation is to be made. If your check has more than one name printed on the check, please indicate for whom the reservation is to be made. In effect, always tell us in whose name(s) the reservation is to be made when you send in your check, including any "stage names" that you or your guests use.

Confirmed Reservations: YOUR CASHED CHECK IS YOUR CONFIRMATION. HOWEVER, IF YOUR CHECK DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CASHED BY THE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT, CALL TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND/OR DEPOSITED. Most likely you are included on the reservations list and in the attendance count(even if the transaction does not appear on your account at the time).

3. LATE RESERVATIONS: Mail, Phone and Walk-in Policy
By Mail: If you mail your check any time after the postmark deadline, it will be considered a "late" reservation, and your check should reflect the additional $5 charged for late reservations, making the check total $45. If your check is late and is made for only $40, you will be charged the additional $5 late fee when you arrive. We will not be responsible if you mail your check after the postmark deadline and we do not receive it in time to include you on our reservations list. (See information below on “pre-confirmed late reservations by phone.")

By Phone: Pre-confirmed Late Reservations
As a courtesy to people who wish to attend the breakfast but for whom it is too late to mail a check (even a "late" check), we have a good faith "Pre-confirmed Late Reservations List." To get on this list, you must speak with someone in our office to arrange to attend the breakfast, as there are certain guidelines. Pre-confirmed late reservations extend the final count and they are included in the final extended count we give to our venue and, therefore, are considered a firm commitment by you. The price for a pre-confirmed late reservation is $45, cash only. (See information below on “walk-ins”.)

A Word of Advice: Please do not make a "pre-confirmed late reservation" for someone for whom you will not be paying. If you will not be financially responsible for payment, have that individual call in their own reservation.

Walk-ins
If you attend a Hollywood Networking Breakfast® held at the Beverly Hills Country Club or the Wyndham Bel Age Hotel or Paramount Studios, without a reservation or a pre-confirmed late reservation (see above), the price will be $50 - cash only.

4. BOUNCED/RETURNED CHECKS:
There will be a $25 charge for every bounced or returned check. When you bounce a check, we not only incur bank charges, we also must pay for your breakfast. If your check is returned for nonpayment, you will be liable for bank fees, reimbursement of your breakfast and you will also be required thereafter to pay by money order (by mail), or cash only at the door, after having your reservation pre-approved. Note: If we receive a returned check from you, and you do not make good on the check plus the charges, you will not be allowed back into the breakfast. If we make a good faith late reservation for you and you do not honor it or make good on it, you will not be allowed back into the breakfast.

5. REFUNDS/TRANSFERS/ROLLOVERS:
When we make a commitment to our venue for a specific number of people and meals, we make that commitment based on your commitment to us. Our venue will not allow rollovers for no-shows, so we do not permit rollovers. Here are our guidelines:
• Reservations are non-refundable.
• A reservation may be transferred to someone else for the date paid for only.
• No-shows cannot be rolled over to another Breakfast.

LATE ARRIVALS – IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Breakfast is not guaranteed for late arrivals.

Whether you have an “on-time” or “pre-confirmed late” reservation, or you are a “walk-in”, if you arrive late at the breakfast, we cannot guarantee that there will be food available for you. Breakfast is served open buffet-style, where attendees may have more than one helping. Our venue replenishes our food supply, where necessary, up until 9 a.m. More than likely there will be food available after 9 a.m., but we can offer no guarantee.

If you are a late “walk-in” and you do not have an opportunity to eat, but still wish to hear the speaker, or stay to network, full walk-in rates will apply.

6. ATTIRE:
The Hollywood Networking Breakfast® has a strictly enforced DRESS CODE. Business casual attire required. We provide a professional setting, and we expect our attendees to respect our long-standing dress code. You will be refused entry and no monies will be refunded if you are not dressed appropriately. PLEASE no jeans, t-shirts, sweats, or inappropriate, provocative clothes allowed. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Look professional. Make an impression . . . a good one!

7. SECURITY MEASURES:
Due to heightened security measures, if you are not recognized as a breakfast regular, you will be required to show a valid and current photo identification, to be admitted to the breakfast. When sending in your check, you must list your full legal name as it appears on your I.D. You must also indicate if you wish to use a performing or professional name on your name tag. You are also asked to provide certain contact information with your reservation (see #1 above). We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

8. PARKING: $4 valet parking is available at the Beverly Hills Country Club. FREE parking is available in the back lot, located on Patricia, behind the tennis courts. There is NO PARKING PERMITTED on the residential side of the street at any time in accordance with Zoning Regulation Z.A.I. 1469.

$4 discounted valet parking is available at the Wyndham Bel Age Hotel. Side street parking is also available around the hotel.

9. NETWORKING TIPS:
It's great that you come to the Hollywood Networking Breakfast® to hear and make contact with the guest speaker. However, you should also consider attending because of the people whom a particular speaker might attract, whether the speaker is in your field of interest or not. Also, make it a priority to get the contact information of the speaker and others in whom you are interested before you leave. The breakfast is an extremely time consuming event and it is impossible to return phone calls about a past breakfast.

10. GUEST SPEAKERS:
Guest Speakers’ attendance is confirmed, schedule permitting, at the time of all publications and notifications. In the event our guest speaker is unable to attend, we reserve the right to provide a substitute speaker or initiate a different format (which might not include a substitute speaker) for that day/event. In any such situation, since our venue will still require full payment, our “no refund” and “no roll-over” policy for all reservations shall apply.

We DO NOT ALLOW ANY RECORDING DEVICES OF ANY TYPE AT THIS EVENT. Failure to comply will result in confiscation of the devise, ejection from the event, and prosecution for a violation of applicable laws.
