Last updated: February 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Proud Partners! By accessing or using our website, mobile services, or membership program (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Proud Partners, located at 2017 E 4th St, Long Beach, CA 90814. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Services following any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Membership Program
Proud Partners offers the VIM (Very Important Mary) membership program, which provides members with exclusive benefits, perks, and experiences at our venue. The VIM program is structured across multiple membership tiers, each with its own set of benefits and pricing.
2.1 Membership Tiers
We offer several membership tiers, each with different levels of benefits and pricing. Current tier details, including pricing, benefits, and features, are available on our website and at our venue. Tier availability, benefits, and pricing are subject to change at our discretion, with reasonable notice provided to existing members.
2.2 Membership Duration & Auto-Renewal
Memberships are offered on a monthly or annual basis. Unless you cancel your membership before the end of your current billing period, your membership will automatically renew at the then-current rate for the applicable tier. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before any price changes take effect on your renewal.
2.3 Membership Benefits
Benefits associated with each tier are subject to change. We will notify members of any material changes to tier benefits via email or through our website. Some benefits may be subject to availability, capacity limits, or venue-specific restrictions. Benefits are personal to the member and may not be transferred, shared, or resold unless explicitly stated otherwise.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age to purchase a membership, participate in our membership program, or consume alcoholic beverages at our venue. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for membership enrollment and may be requested at any time during your visit. By enrolling in the VIM program, you represent and warrant that you are at least 21 years of age.
We reserve the right to refuse membership or service to anyone at our sole discretion.
4. Payment & Billing
4.1 Pricing
Membership pricing varies by tier. Current pricing is displayed on our website and at the venue. All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to applicable taxes and fees.
4.2 Payment Processing
Payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors. We do not store your complete credit card or payment information on our servers. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable membership fees to your selected payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
4.3 Refund Policy
If you cancel your membership within thirty (30) days of your initial enrollment or renewal, you may be eligible for a prorated refund for the unused portion of your membership period. Refund requests made after thirty (30) days will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. To request a refund, please contact us at proudpartners@centerlb.org.
4.4 Cancellation
You may cancel your membership at any time by contacting us via email at proudpartners@centerlb.org, by phone at , or in person at our venue. Upon cancellation, your membership benefits will remain active until the end of your current billing period. No partial-month refunds will be issued for mid-cycle cancellations outside of the 30-day refund window.
5. Opportunity Drawing
Proud Partners periodically conducts opportunity drawings (sweepstakes) for our members and guests. The following rules apply to all opportunity drawings conducted by Proud Partners:
- No purchase necessary. You do not need to purchase a membership or make any other purchase to enter or win an opportunity drawing. A free method of entry is always available.
- Eligibility: Entrants must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age and present at the venue or otherwise eligible as specified in the individual drawing rules.
- Entry: Each eligible person receives one (1) entry per opportunity drawing period. Members may receive one entry as part of their membership sign-up. Additional entries may be available as specified in individual drawing rules.
- Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each drawing.
- Drawing schedule: Unless otherwise specified, drawings are held weekly on Saturday nights during regular business hours. Specific times will be announced at the venue and on our website.
- Winner notification: Winners will be notified in person at the venue, by email, or by phone. Winners are responsible for responding within the timeframe specified in the individual drawing rules. Unclaimed prizes may be forfeited.
- Prizes are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and may not be redeemed for cash unless specified otherwise. Prize details, including estimated retail value, will be disclosed at the time of the drawing.
- Taxes: Winners are solely responsible for any applicable taxes on prizes received.
Specific opportunity drawings may have additional rules, which will be posted at the venue and on our website. In the event of a conflict, drawing-specific rules will prevail over these general terms.
