Customer Policies

Welcome to Nocturne Teas. Our goal is to provide an enjoyable, safe, and respectful environment for all guests. The following policies outline our customer terms regarding payment, conduct, and services. By visiting our establishment, making a purchase, or opening a tab, you agree to these policies.

Customer Information & Safety Notice

  • When opening a bar tab, Nocturne Teas may require a card pre-authorization to verify payment validity.

    When Pre-Authorization May Be Used

    Pre-authorization practices may vary depending on operational needs. While we do not always pre-authorize every tab, we reserve the right to do so at any time, including but not limited to the following circumstances:

    • During large events or high-traffic periods, when there is an increased risk of unpaid tabs

    • For large groups or parties, particularly when one individual intends to pay for multiple guests

    • On a case-by-case basis, based on prior experiences related to tab closure or payment completion from a particular guest

    • During periods when we temporarily or permanently reinstate broader pre-authorization practices for operational or security reasons

    The decision to pre-authorize a tab is made solely to ensure smooth service, reduce unpaid tabs, and protect both guests and staff.

    Important Notes About Pre-Authorization

    • A temporary hold may appear on your account, typically between $0.01 and $3.00 but it may be up to $250.00 for large parties. If the pre-authorization amount exceeds $10.00 you will be informed prior to the pre-authorization. You may also request to know the pre-authorization amount prior to providing your card for the pre-authorization.

    • This is not a charge

    • The hold will automatically adjust to your final bill total when the tab is closed

    • If a tab is not closed manually, it will be closed by staff at the end of the business day, in this event, the staff are authorized to add a gratuity of up to 20% of the unpaid tab, by allowing your card to be pre-authorized you are consenting to this gratuity

    • Release timing for unused holds is determined by your financial institution; delays should be directed to your bank, as processing times vary

    Why This Policy Exists

    Pre-authorization helps reduce card fraud, prevent unpaid tabs, and ensure efficient service—especially during busy or high-risk periods—while allowing us flexibility to adapt to changing conditions.

  • All open tabs are expected to be paid in full before leaving the premises.

    • If a guest departs without closing a tab, the pre-authorized card on file will be charged for the full balance plus any outstanding gratuity—all tabs walked out on will automatically have a 20% gratuity applied.

    • If the card on file declines, the account holder will be contacted and given 24 hours to complete payment.

    • Failure to resolve payment within 24 hours may result in a service ban and may be subject to a collection process.

    Walkouts directly affect our staff, who depend on tips and accurate sales reporting—thank you for your understanding and honesty.

    This policy is also publicly posted throughout our establishment, including directly in front of our register and card terminal. By entering our establishment and opening a bar-tab you are agreeing to the terms of this policy. If you do not wish to be subject to the terms of this policy please pay for your items immediacy upon receipt.

  • At Nocturne Teas, we want every guest to leave satisfied. While most of our products are perishable and cannot be returned once served, we handle all concerns with fairness and common sense.

    If you’re unhappy with a purchase for any reason:

    • Please speak with a bartender or manager right away. In most cases, we will replace your drink or product, provide a store credit, or issue a refund.

    • Our refund policy does not apply to items and food that is damaged or destroyed through intentional acts of malice by the end user.

    We believe in resolving issues kindly, promptly, and respectfully — please don’t hesitate to let us know if something isn’t right.

  • Item descriptionNocturne Teas gift cards are treated like cash and cannot be replaced if lost or stolen.

    • Gift cards cannot be redeemed for cash except as required by Florida law.

    • Balances never expire and can be used for drinks, retail merchandise, or events.

  • We want all guests to enjoy themselves while maintaining a welcoming environment.

    • Disruptive, aggressive, or intoxicated behavior may result in removal from the premises up to the extent of being permanently trespassed from the property.

    • We welcome outside food and drinks, however alcohol IS NOT PERMITTED on or near our premises. Any guest found bringing or consuming alcohol on or near the premises will be asked to leave.

    • Smoking or vaping cannabis (including THC, delta-8, or similar substances) is not permitted anywhere on our property — indoors, on the patio, or in the parking lot. This includes any device or product that emits a noticeable cannabis odor.

    • Tobacco products and nicotine vapes are allowed only in designated outdoor areas.

    • Illegal drugs are not permitted on or near the premises.

    • We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for behavior that compromises safety, comfort, or the respect of our guests and employees.

    1. Groups of three (3) or more:
      All players must have an open bar tab.

    2. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

    3. No food or drinks permitted on or near the pool table.
