1. Where these Terms apply

These Terms cover the Services offered by Us to You and exclude all other terms and conditions to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms contain the whole agreement between the parties relating to the Services and supersede all previous agreements.

You warrant that You are authorised to list the Workspace on Our Site and legally entitled to grant Customer Licences of such Workspace.

Each Introduction of a Customer to You by Us is covered by these Terms and any contract entered into between You and the Customer due to Our introduction will result in an obligation to pay Us a Instant Fee.

These Terms shall be terminable with immediate effect by either party on the giving of written notice to the other.

2. Listing

We agree to list details of Your Workspace on Our Site. We can’t guarantee the volume of Customers who will visit the Site, however, We hope that You will find the listing gives You a sufficient platform to raise Your profile and generate demand.

In order that We can run this platform successfully, You agree that You will

use all reasonable endeavours to accept or reject any Introduction within 2 Business Days of notification by Us;

not unreasonably reject any Introduction or refer any Introductions to a third party without Our prior written consent; and

be responsible for conducting timely Customer viewings/tours of the Workspace with the Customer.

You may (or We may do so on Your behalf) upload Content to Our site to list the Workspace however, in doing so, You:

agree to comply with the standards set out in Our Acceptable Use Policy to ensure that we have a safe Site;

agree that We have the right to use and edit any Content provided by You, including but not limited to changing descriptions, editing images, removing content and branding, changing format and layout;

You warrant that You have full legal title to the Content and the receipt and use of the Content by Us shall not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

3. Instant Fee

It’s important to Us to work together in an open and transparent way: when We Introduce a Customer to You, and You enter into a Customer Licence with the Customer, You are required to notify Us as soon as You enter a Customer Licence as that is when the Instant Fee will be due to Us.

The Instant Fee is payable up front in full. We will raise an invoice to You for the Instant Fee (plus any Tax) based on the term of the Customer Licence and You agree to pay Us using an Acceptable Payment Method by the Due Date.

In an Event of Insolvency or termination of these Terms by either You or Us, all Instant Fees will be immediately due and payable in full. If You enter into a Customer Licence following termination with a Customer Introduced by Us prior to or following termination, a Instant Fee shall be due and payable by You as if these Terms continued to apply.

We appreciate things don’t always go to plan, so if the Customer Licence is terminated early for any reason, We will credit a proportion of the Instant Fee to You based on the unexpired term of the Customer Licence. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this credit will be applied against Your account and set off against future invoices.

4. Marketing

We reserve the right to market all Workspace on partner and affiliate websites that market office space to potential office users. We are not responsible for the content or availability of any third party websites.

As a result of working with many Workspace operators around the world, We collect a lot of useful market data and intel on Workspaces.
