If you sign up for an Original Crew membership, you accept these terms, conditions, limitations and requirements.

Original Crew is a premium membership in Hook Hand Rum and offers three tier levels of pricing and subsequent benefits and rewards

1. Navigators: This is the highest tier level and is a one time payment for sustained benefits without additional payments.

• First Mate: The second tier level has an annual fee and receives benefits for one year from payment.

• Swabbie: The lowest tier level  has an annual fee and receives benefits for one year from payment.

All tier levels within Original Crew receive the opportunity for benefits ranging from free to discounted offerings depending on the tier level. The program is designed to give members experiences with Hook Hand Rum that the general consumer may not have access to. These benefits will fall into one of four types.

1. Access to HHR Sponsored events and in some cases non sponsored events.
2. Status as a Hook Hand Rum VIP Guest
3. Gifts of rum and merchandise every year
4. Chance to participate in curated adventures

However there are no guarantees as to which benefits are offered at what level and at what time and they can be changed at any time without notice.

By purchasing a Membership you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Who can join

Anyone can join who is 21 years of age or older. To join you must purchase a membership on the Hook Hand Rum website. https://hookhandrum.com

Each membership has a price that will be paid in total or on an annualized fee. There are no monthly payment options.

To join as a Navigator, you will receive a coin that is numbered uniquely and given to you for your lifetime membership. These coins cannot be replaced, so if they are lost you must contact Hook Hand Rum at john@hookhandrum.com to be given future options for benefits and access. We do not guarantee that you can continue in the program if you have lost your coin.

How does it works

Members of Original Crew will receive a login registration with password. This will allow the member to gain access to Crew’s Quarters, a page on the Hook Hand Rum website that houses all things Original Crew. Members can gain access to event calendars in Crew’s Quarters as well as get discount codes for events and merchandise. 

A member must have their login and password to gain access to Crew’s Quarters. There may be different versions of Crews Quarters that align with the tier level in Original Crew.

When does it start

Membership begins immediately upon purchase. There are no points to earn or additional expenditures to begin receiving benefits. The Original Crew coin will be shipped directly upon joining so you would have to wait until you receive your coin before you can be recognized for access and participation in some benefits.

First Mate and Swabbie memberships begin immediately upon purchase and access to Crew’s Quarters is available to all tiers immediately upon completion of membership purchase

Can you quit your membership

The Navigator program is a one payment so as far as we are concerned it is for life. The First Mate and Swabbie programs are paid on an annual basis and must be renewed each year to continue. To stop your membership you can choose to not renew for First Mate and Swabbie programs. For Navigators we would ask that you return your coin and we will close your membership. If you choose to close your membership and return your coin we will refund on a prorated basis what is remaining on your membership minus any benefits you have received or taken advantage of.

Can you get a refund

There are no refunds in this program, all sales are final. You may maintain membership through the time that has been paid. 

What laws govern this program

We are a California Corporation and this program falls under the jurisdiction of the laws of the State of California.
