Terms & Conditions

The Outdoor Club Portugal is an independent, community-driven club for premium open-fire cooking, built for international expats across Portugal.

This preview demonstrates our member community, gatherings and reservation workflows ahead of our launch. All product reservations are subject to final confirmation by a club advisor.

Adding a product to your reservation cart does not constitute a binding purchase. It registers your interest and places you in line for first allocation when stock becomes available.

A club advisor will contact you to confirm specifications, delivery logistics, and final pricing before any payment is processed.

The Pitmaster Table is a peer-to-peer social cost-sharing network. The Outdoor Club Portugal provides the technology to connect hosts and guests but is not responsible for the preparation, conduct, or conditions of private residential events.

Hosts and guests agree to the liability disclaimer presented during event creation and booking confirmation.

The Outdoor Club Portugal charges guests a platform service fee on top of the cost-share price set by the Host; this fee is never deducted from the Host's payout. The Host always receives 100% of the cost-share price they set for their event.

During the launch offer — until 30 June 2027 — the platform service fee is 0%. Tables created from 1 July 2027 onward carry a standing platform service fee of 10%, added on top of the Host's cost-share price and paid by the Guest. Tables created during the launch offer keep the 0% fee, also for dinners after 30 June 2027.

Because a Pitmaster Table booking is for a catering/leisure service tied to a specific date, it is exempt from the standard 14-day right of withdrawal under Portuguese and EU consumer law (Decreto-Lei n.º 24/2014, Article 17(1)(k), transposing Directive 2011/83/EU). By completing a booking, the Guest acknowledges this exemption.

After a gathering takes place, each confirmed Guest will receive a link to confirm that the event took place as booked and, optionally, to rate the Host. A Guest's cost-share is treated as earned by the Host once the gathering has been held; a Guest who believes the event did not take place as booked has 3 days from the event date to raise this through the confirmation link so it can be reviewed.

The Host's payout is released once every Guest at the table has responded, or 3 days after the event date, whichever happens first. If a Guest does not respond within that 3-day window, the gathering is treated as having taken place as booked, the Host's payout proceeds, and the Guest's cost-share is final.

Payouts of the full cost-share amount are transferred to the Host's verified bank account via SEPA credit transfer through our payment partner, Stripe Connect, once released under the paragraph above. This includes the cost-share of seats cancelled late by a Guest under section 5.

A Guest can withdraw a seat request at any time before the Host confirms it. The Guest's card is not charged, and the temporary hold is released.

A Guest who cancels a confirmed seat 48 hours or more before the start time shown on the listing receives a full refund of the amount paid, including any platform service fee, to the original payment method. Refunds are issued automatically and usually reach the card within 5–10 business days.

A Guest who cancels less than 48 hours before the start time, or does not attend, is not refunded. Because the Host has usually already bought and prepared food for the table, the Guest's cost-share is paid to the Host as if the Guest had attended, together with the payout for the rest of the table. Any platform service fee is not refunded.

A seat freed by a cancellation may be offered to another Guest. This does not change the cancelling Guest's refund position.

If a table is cancelled by the Host or by The Outdoor Club Portugal, every Guest who paid is refunded in full, including Guests who had cancelled late, and no payout is made to the Host for that table.

The 48-hour period is counted back from the start time of the table as shown on its listing.

To receive payouts, Hosts must complete a one-time identity verification process (name, date of birth, address, tax identification, and bank account details) through our payment partner, Stripe. An event cannot be published until this verification is complete.
