TERMS OF SERVICE – SPACE PARTNER

Last updated: December 1, 2020

Welcome to Upflex!

Upflex, Inc.(“us”, “we”, or “Upflex”) enables owners and/or operators of workspaces (each, a “Space Partner”) to offer for booking or otherwise make available its workspaces, which include without limitation, desks, meeting rooms, individual offices and partial, full or multiple floors (collectively, “Spaces”) for use by users who book the Spaces, either as individuals or through corporate accounts (collectively, “Guests”). The listing of Spaces by Space Partners, and access to and booking of Spaces by Guests is completed through the Upflex dashboard on the website located at http://upflex.com (the “Site”) or through the Upflex mobile application and application program interface (the “Mobile Application”), and requires registration for an account (as described in Account Registration below). Together, the Site, the Mobile Application, and all associated services, including but limited to providing Spaces through the Site and the Mobile Application are referred to as the “Service”). “Users” includes any user of the Service, including both Guests and Space Partners.

These terms and conditions (these “Space Partner Terms”) govern a Space Partner’s use of the Service  made available by Upflex. By accessing, using, or participating in the Service as a Space Partner, you agree to be bound by these Space Partner Terms and our Privacy Policy located at https://upflex.com/legal/privacy-policy/. Please read them carefully.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant Upflex all permissions and licenses provided in these Space Partner Terms. A company or entity member is responsible for the compliance of each of its individual members (e.g., its employees, contractors, property managers, and other service providers). You agree to respond promptly and completely to requests from Upflex for additional information that Upflex deems necessary to determine your authority to act on behalf of a company or organization. Upflex may suspend or terminate your access, and your company or organization’s access to the Service (including, but not limited to, removing Spaces you have listed) and your account if Upflex has reason to believe that you are not authorized to act on behalf of the company or organization for whom you claim to be acting in connection with the Service.

Upflex may change these Space Partner Terms from time to time. Changes will be effective when Upflex posts updated Space Partner Terms at this location or within the applicable Service and the “Last updated” date set forth above will be updated accordingly. Your continued access or use of the Service after such posting confirms your consent to be bound by the updated Space Partner Terms. Any revisions to these Space Partner Terms will become effective the first time you access or use the Service after such changes have been posted. If you do not agree to abide by these Space Partner Terms, you are not authorized to use, access or participate in (or continue to use, access or participate in) the Service.

These Space Partner Terms require the use of arbitration to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.

THE SERVICE COMPRISES AN ONLINE PLATFORM THROUGH WHICH A SPACE PARTNER MAY CREATE LISTINGS FOR SPACES, AND GUESTS MAY LEARN ABOUT AND BOOK SPACES DIRECTLY WITH THE SPACE PARTNER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT UPFLEX IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN SPACE PARTNERS AND GUESTS, NOR IS UPFLEX A REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, OR INSURER. UPFLEX HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF GUESTS, SPACE PARTNERS, AND/OR OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE OR ANY SPACES, AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IN THIS REGARD TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOUR TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND INTERACTIONS WITH ANY OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE (INCLUDING ANY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN A GUEST AND A SPACE PARTNER), INCLUDING TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND INTERACTIONS INITIATED THROUGH THE SERVICE, ARE SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH USERS, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND INTERACTIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE SPACE PARTNER TERMS, NO PORTION OF THE FEES WILL DEEMED TO BE COMPENSATION FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE.

 

ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into legally binding contracts to access and use the Service and/or register an Upflex Account (defined below). By accessing or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a contract.

 

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

In order to use certain features of the Service, you must register for an account (“Upflex Account”) and provide information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) that you are not located in a country that is subject to U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (d) you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Once you have created your Upflex Account, you will have access through the Service to your “Space Partner Portal”, which will allow you to list Spaces, manage Space profiles, enroll in the Upflex SafeSpaces program, manage inventory, manage notifications regarding Spaces, view booking history, and access the help center.

You may delete your Upflex Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on our Site or within the Mobile Application. Upflex may terminate or suspend your Upflex Account in accordance with Termination and Suspension below.

 

SPACE LISTINGS

Through the Service, Space Partners may list a variety of Spaces, including desks, meeting rooms, private offices, and Hubs (a “Hub” is a private office for multiple Guests that may occupy partial, full, and/or multiple floor(s)). For each Space listed, Space Partner must (i) provide complete and accurate information about your Space (e.g., listing description, location, amenities, and availability); (ii) disclose any requirements that apply to use of a Space, including additional rules, regulations, check-in requirements; (iii) meet the insurance requirements set forth below; and (iv) provide any other pertinent information requested by Upflex. Any images used in your Space listings must accurately reflect the quality and condition of your Space. You are responsible for keeping your listing information (including availability) up-to-date at all times.

Hub listings must include any Hub-specific terms and conditions that Space Partner requires Guests to comply with, including access procedures and restrictions, limitations of use, occupancy, included amenities and furniture, Hub-specific rules and regulations, and required security deposit. Hub terms and conditions must provide Upflex with the right to sublicense the Hub and a representation and warranty from the Space Partner that it can sublicense the right to use the Hub upon the terms and conditions included in the Hub listing.

When you accept or have pre-approved a booking request by a Guest, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with the Guest and are required to provide your Space(s) to the Guest as described in your Space listing when the booking request is made.

The placement and ranking of listings in search results on the Service may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as location, User search parameters, User requirements, Space Partner requirements, availability, reviews and ratings, customer service and cancellation history, type of Space, and/or ease of booking.

You represent and warrant that any Space listings you post, and any Space you actually provide to a Guest, will: (a) not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties; (b) comply with these Space Partner Terms; (c) comply with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and other rules and regulations, including all rules relating to health and safety; and (d) have obtained all required permits, licenses, insurance coverage, and registrations. As a Space Partner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who are present at the Space.

 

INSURANCE

Space Partner shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain and keep in force at all times when it has Space(s) listed through the Service, maintain and keep appropriate insurance for each Space, including (a) commercial general liability insurance, including premises/operation liability, contractual liability, third-party property damage, and claims for personal injury and/or death, with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Space Partner CGL Policy”); employer’s liability and worker’s compensation insurance to the extent required by applicable state laws; and any other insurance required by law. The Space Partner CGL Policy must include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Upflex and include Upflex as an additional insured. Please review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Guests (and their invitees, if applicable) while working at your Space.

 

SPACE FEES

CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS, AND REFUNDS FOR SPACES OTHER THAN HUBS 

Space Partners and Guests are responsible for any changes to a booking that they make through the Service, including payment of any additional fees, services charges, and/or taxes associated with such changes. Guests can cancel an accepted booking at any time. If a Guest cancels an accepted booking at least 24 hours in advance, Upflex will refund any applicable fees. If a Guest cancels an accepted booking less than 24 hours in advance, there will be no refund of applicable fees. If a Space Partner cancels a confirmed booking, the Guest will receive a full refund of applicable fees for such booking within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. In some instances, Upflex may allow the Guest to apply the refund to a new booking, in which case Upflex will credit the amount against the Guest’s subsequent booking at the Guest’s direction. Space Partners may only cancel a confirmed booking if the Space is rendered unusable, the amenities listed as available at the Space at the time of booking are no longer available, or with at least 30 days’ advance written notice so as to not inconvenience Guests.

In certain circumstances, Upflex may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking and make an appropriate refund. In such circumstances, the Guest will receive a full refund of applicable fees for such booking. If a Guest cancels a confirmed booking or Upflex determines that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and such cancellation necessitates a refund to the Guest in accordance with these Space Partner Terms, the Space Partner agrees if the Space Partner has already received payment for such booking, Upflex will be entitled to recover the amount of such refund from Space Partner, including by offsetting such refund amount out from any future payments due to Space Partner.

 

CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS, AND REFUNDS FOR HUBS 

Space Partners and Guests are responsible for any changes to a booking that they make through the Service, including payment of any additional fees, services charges, and/or taxes associated with such changes. The termination rights for each Hub are established by the Space Partner and set forth in the Space Partner Portal or as otherwise agreed to in writing between Upflex and Space Partner.

 

RATINGS AND REVIEWS

Within a certain time frame after completing a booking, Guests and Space Partners can leave a public review and submit a rating about the other party. Ratings and reviews by Guests and Space Partners must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language. Ratings and reviews must specifically adhere to the guidelines set forth in Prohibited Activities below. Users are prohibited from manipulating the ratings and reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative review about a Guest or Space Partner. Ratings and reviews reflect the opinions of individual Guests and Space Partners and do not reflect the opinion of Upflex. Ratings and reviews are not verified by Upflex for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.

TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN GUESTS AND SPACE PARTNERS FOR BOOKING SPACES

Upflex offers the Service as a platform to connect Space Partners and Guests and to facilitate the booking of Spaces between the Space Partners and Guests. You understand and agree that Upflex does not act as an insurer or as a Guest’s, or as your, contracting agent or real estate broker.

As a Space Partner, you agree to abide by the following Space Partner policies:

  • You are solely responsible for maintaining the Space in safe condition and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, including all applicable building requirements.

Both Guests and Space Partners may submit feedback to the Service following the completion of a Space booking.

To ensure proper payment, Space Partner must provide and maintain accurate contact and payment information associated with its account, and shall keep complete and accurate records regarding Space usage by Guests. Upflex may audit such records upon reasonable notice to confirm proper payment hereunder and otherwise confirm compliance with this Agreement.

If applicable law requires any warranties with respect to the Site and/or Mobile Application, all such warranties are limited in duration to 90 days from the date of first use. THE DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UPLEX DOES NOT CONTROL AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS YOU ENCOUNTER THROUGH OUR SERVICE. YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT OTHER USERS, GUESTS, AND SPACE PARTNERS MAY NOT BE WHO THEY CLAIM TO BE. WE DO NOT PERFORM BACKGROUND CHECKS ON OUR USERS, GUESTS, OR SPACE PARTNERS, NOR DO WE GUARANTEE THAT OUR USERS, GUESTS, OR SPACE PARTNERS’ PROFILES OR ACCOUNT INFORMATION IS ACCURATE. WE DO NOT ENDORSE, SUPPORT, OR VERIFY THE FACTS, OPINIONS, OR RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR USERS, GUESTS, OR SPACE PARTNERS. IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN USERS, WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE, MEDIATE, OR INDEMNIFY ANY PARTY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UPFLEX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IN ANY MANNER FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF YOUR TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, BOOKINGS, AND INTERACTIONS WITH ANY OTHER USERS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. UPFLEX DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS BY SPACE PARTNERS, OR THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY SPACES. YOU HEREBY RELEASE UPFLEX FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, OBLIGATIONS, OR LIABILITIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO SUCH TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS, LISTINGS ON THE SITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION, COLLECTIONS SENT TO YOU BY ANOTHER USER AND THE QUALITY, CONDITIONS OR SUITABILITY OF ANY SPACE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER UPFLEX NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICE OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (A) THESE SPACE PARTNER TERMS, (B) FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT, (C) FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS, OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE, INTERACT, OR MEET AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, OR (D) FROM SPACE PARTNER’S LISTING OF A SPACE OR SPACES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT UPFLEX HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Except for our obligations to pay amounts to Space Partners in accordance with these Space Partner Terms, in no event will Upflex’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Space Partner Terms and your use of the Service exceed US$100. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Upflex and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

 

LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE SPACE PARTNER TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
