House Rules
Our membership values
To make No One Home (NOH) a safe and welcoming place, we ask all our members, their guests and our teams to follow our standards of behavior.
They are:
Kindness and respect
We have created a place for inclusivity. No One Home (NOH) celebrates diversity. We do not judge on gender, race, religion, political views, sexuality or physicality. We expect our members and guests to do the same and consider the impact individual views and beliefs may have on others.
Positive interaction
Respect is fundamental. Our global network of members often share stories of kindness and connection they experience at No One Home (NOH) . We have a collective responsibility to ensure that racist, sexist, homophobic or any form of abusive language is not tolerated.
Decent behavior
A shared understanding of behavior is essential to creating a safe and welcoming time at the No One Home (NOH) . Having fun is always encouraged; being over-familiar or inappropriate is not. If you or your guests are found abusing alcohol or drugs in our location, behaving in a way that upsets other members, or harassing staff or other guests, action will be taken.
Share with us
We’re inspired by the diversity of our members; it helps us build a better No One Home (NOH) . If you have a negative experience, we ask that you let us know immediately, so we can take appropriate action. Speak to the manager on duty, anyone on the membership team, or contact us at membership@noonehome.com with the subject line “Something isn’t right” and the date the incident/issue occurred.

Every member binds themselves to abide by the rules, bylaws and regulations of No One Home (NOH) at all times upon acceptance as a member.

If a member is placed on suspension for any reason, No One Home (NOH) reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to charge and collect such member’s membership dues and fees during such period of suspension, should they so arise.
5. Membership Behavior Committee
Members who don’t follow these values and standards of behavior risk their membership being reviewed by the Membership Behavior Committee. This could result in your membership being suspended or revoked. Members are also responsible for ensuring that their guests follow these same rules, and if these are violated the same repercussions will apply to the member.
The process for this is as follows:
An incident involving a member or their guest(s) either happens at a No One Home (NOH) premises, an offsite event, or in circumstances that may affect our members.
The membership team reviews the incident and sources witness statements.
The membership of the member(s) involved is paused while this investigation is happening.
Once all the facts have been reviewed, the Membership Behavior Committee decides on a final decision.
This decision is communicated to the member(s) and they are either given a caution, or their membership is suspended or terminated. All decisions are absolute and final without ability to appeal.
In the event of any dispute arising as to the meaning or interpretation of these rules, the matter shall be referred to the Membership Behavior Committee who will decide on the status of a member's future use of the facility. This decision is final and without appeal. These rules shall be governed and construed in accordance with New York law and each member agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York, New York.

From time to time, No One Home (NOH) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, amend our House Rules in the best interest of our members, guests and/or employees. Please be aware that such amended House Rules shall apply to you at all times.
