How do I make a reservation for an American Club event?

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Reservations must be made no later than the date specified in the event description or invitation, and should be e-mailed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Space may be limited and reservations are on a first come, first served basis.

All reservations are fully binding unless cancelled prior to the final date given for registration.

Payment may required in one of several ways, depending on the nature of the event. For most Club events, you will be invoiced via email (those without email will be sent an invoice via post). Certain events, however, require payment at the door. In all cases, payment instructions will be clearly stated for each event.

   

What is the Club's cancellation policy?

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

The Club's standard cancellation policy is seven (7) days advance notice unless specified otherwise in the event information. Reservations are binding unless cancelled within the timeframe givecn for cancellation.

If you are unable to attend an event for which you are already registered and the cancellation period has passed, in most cases it is acceptable that you find someone else to go in your place. This will not be true in all cases, however, as in the example of events where security arrangements are required, such as at events held at the US Embassy. 

   

When do I have to pay for an event?

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Payment information is nearly always included in the event announcement.

Beginning in the spring of 2010, the Club began invoicing participants for most events (previously we nearly always required advance payment). Standard payment terms are 20 days, after which a reminder will be sent out requesting that you pay within 10 days. For each reminder required, a 50 SEK late payment charge will be assessed for administration costs.

If you have participated in an event however have not received an invoice as anticipated, please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your inquiry.

No payments will be accepted at the door unless specified, nor is our Club equipped to accept credit card payments.
