The PJCC does not provide any accident or health coverage for its members or guests. As a reminder all Center Members sign a waiver of liability upon joining the PJCC.

• Talk quietly en route to that appropriate spot.
• Cell phone use, photos, and videos are prohibited in the locker rooms.
• Only photograph, video, livestream, and video chat in areas where other people’s images will not accidentally or intentionally be used without their consent. The PJCC also may request modification or removal of any use of the image, face, voice, or likeness of a PJCC employee, member, or guest at our campus.

Throughout the year, photographs featuring PJCC programs are taken during various activities for publication. The PJCC reserves the right to use all photographs, for both print and online materials, anonymously and without compensation, unless prior written notification is received. Members and guests may not take photographs without first obtaining permission from the PJCC.

Parking/Neighbor Relations

In an effort to be sensitive to our neighbors, there is no parking allowed in neighboring apartment building lots or the Foster City Recreation Center parking lot. Cars may be towed if parked on private property. Disabled spaces are only for those legally disabled and displaying a DMV-issued placard. Motorcycles must be parked in a regular parking spot. For your safety and the safety of other pedestrians, please observe all speed limit and directional signs at all times on campus and parking lots, as you do on city streets. PJCC is not responsible for lost or stolen items or damaged vehicles, and we strongly recommend not leaving valuables exposed in parked cars.

Vehicles are not permitted to be parking in any of our parking lots for extended periods of time or overnight, that is not consistent with membership use or program attendance.  We reserve the right to extend no warnings on violations of this policy and membership and program participation may be revoked.

Insufficient Funds and Other Forms of Non-Payment

There is a $20 charge for any form of payment that is returned unpaid, including checks and electronic transactions.
