  2. Our Reserved Rights. We are entitled to access your Office Space, with or without notice, in connection with our provision of the Services, for safety or emergency purposes or for any other purposes. We may temporarily move furniture contained in your Office Space. We reserve the right to alter your Office Space, provided that we will not do so in a manner that substantially decreases the square footage of your assigned Office Space or related amenities. We may also modify or reduce the list of Services or furnishings provided for your Office Space at any time. The Services may be provided by us, an affiliate or a third party.
  3. Office Space Not Timely Available. If we are unable to make the Office Space available by the Start Date for any reason, including due to (i) changes in construction plans, delays in obtaining permits, or any other obstacles in procuring space in any Premises, or (ii) delays caused by you or by changes requested by you, we will not be subject to any liability related to such inability, nor will such failure affect the validity of this Agreement. In this event, except as set forth in this Agreement, you will not be obligated to make payments of the Membership Fee until the Office Space is made available to you.
  4. YOUR MEMBERS
  5. Updating the Member List. Only those individuals set forth on the Member List will be deemed to be “Members” and entitled to the benefits described in this Agreement. Your Members will be able to begin using, accessing, and/or receiving the Services on the later of (i) the Start Date or (ii) the date we confirm the addition of such individual to the Member List. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the Member List, the first version of which is attached to this Agreement. Your Primary Member may make changes to your Member List via the Primary Member’s “Member Management” tool on the IdeaSpace Member Network. To add new Members to your Member List in excess of the number allocated on the Membership Details form, you must have your Primary Member send an email, from the Primary Member’s email account on file with IdeaSpace, to the email address specified at the bottom of the Membership Details form. The email requesting the change must include the name(s) and email address(es) of the departing and new Member(s) and the effective date of the change. The changes will not take effect until we confirm that we have received the email and have accepted and applied the change, in our sole discretion. A Member will no longer be allowed access to the Services upon the earlier of (1) the termination or expiration of this Agreement; (2) your removal of such Member from the Member List or (3) our notification to you that such Member will be removed from the Member List, for example if such Member violated this Agreement. If the number of Members or other individuals regularly using your Office Space exceeds the number allocated on the Membership Details form, you will be required to pay the then current additional fee as set forth on IdeaSpace.london/faq. In no event will the number of Members exceed 1.5 times the number of desks in the Office Space, regardless of additional fees paid; however affiliated members with active Membership, Hot Desk, and/or separate Dedicated Desk Memberships using desks outside of the Office Space will not count towards this limit. We reserve the right to further limit the number of Members allowed at any point.
  6. Changes to or Removal of Primary Member or Authorised Signatory. An Authorised Signatory generally has the sole authority to make changes to or terminate this Agreement. A Primary Member will generally serve as IdeaSpace’s primary contact regarding matters that involve your Members, the physical Office Space or the Premises. We will be entitled to rely on communications to or from the Authorised Signatory or Primary Member as notice to or from the applicable Member Company. However, an Executive Officer of the applicable Member Company (“Executive Officer”) will have the authority to override the request of an Authorised Signatory or Primary Member, as applicable, provided that we receive such a request within 24 hours following such Authorised Signatory’s or Primary Member’s request. We will be entitled to request reasonable information to confirm that an individual claiming to be an Executive Officer truly is one and to exercise our discretion in determining whether a particular position constitutes an “Executive Officer.” An Executive Officer will also have the authority to remove or replace the individual serving as the Authorised Signatory and/or Primary Member. Unless we receive instructions from the Authorised Signatory or Executive Officer, if the individual designated as the Primary Member ceases to provide services to the Member Company or ceases using the Office Space regularly, we will use our reasonable judgment in designating a replacement Primary Member.

  8. Payments Due Upon Signing. Upon submitting a signed and completed Agreement, you will be obligated to deliver to us, in the amount(s) set forth on your Membership Details form, (i) the Service Retainer and (ii) the Set-Up Fee.
  9. Membership Fee. During the Term (defined below) of this Agreement, we will process payment for your Membership Fee and other then-outstanding fees, in advance, monthly and no later than the fifth (5th) business day of each month. You shall be responsible for having the necessary funds available in your payment account as of the first (1st) day of the month. The Membership Fee set forth on the Membership Details form covers the Services for only the number of Members indicated in the Membership Details form. Additional Members will result in additional fees as set forth on IdeaSpace.london/faq.

On each anniversary of the Start Date (including during any Commitment Term) the Membership Fee will be subject to an automatic three percent (3%) increase of the previous year’s Membership Fee. Following any Commitment Term, we reserve the right to further increase or decrease the Membership Fee at our sole discretion upon sixty (60) days’ prior notice to you.

  1. Invoices; Financial Information. IdeaSpace will send or otherwise provide invoices and other billing-related documents, information and notices to the Primary Member, unless a different Billing Contact is indicated on the Membership Details form. Change of the Billing Contact will require notice from the Authorised Signatory in accordance with this Agreement.
  2. Overage Fees. Each month, you will receive a certain number of credits for conference room use, copies, printouts and other products and services we may offer from time to time, as specified on the Membership Details form. These allowances may not be rolled over from month to month. If these allocated amounts are exceeded, you will be responsible for paying fees for such overages. The current overage fee schedule is listed on IdeaSpace.london/faq. All overage fees are subject to increase from time to time.
  3. Late Fees. If payment for the Membership Fee or any other accrued and outstanding fee is not made by the tenth (10th) of the month in which such payment is due, you will be responsible for paying the then-current late charge. The current late fee schedule is listed on IdeaSpace.london/faq.
  4. Form of Payment. We accept payment of all amounts specified in this Agreement solely by the methods we communicate to you during the sign-up process or from time to time during the term of this Agreement. You are required to inform us promptly of any changes to your payment information. Only a single payment method may be used at any given time to make payments under this Agreement.
  5. Outstanding Fees. When we receive funds from you, we will first apply funds to any balances which are in arrears and to the earliest month due first. Once past balances are satisfied, any remaining portion of the funds will be applied to current fees due. If any payments remain outstanding after we provide notice to you, we may, in our sole discretion, withhold Services or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5(d).
  6. No Refunds. Except as provided in Sections 5(b) and 5(e) of this Agreement, there are no refunds of any fees or other amounts paid by you or your Members in connection with the Services.
  7. TERM AND TERMINATION
  8. Term. This Agreement will be effective when signed by both parties (“Effective Date”); provided that we have no obligations to provide you with the Services until the later of (i) the date on which payment of your Service Retainer and first month’s Membership Fee has cleared or (ii) the Start Date. If the Start Date is a Regular Business Day, you will be entitled to move into the Office Space after 11:00 (in the Office Space’s time zone) on the Start Date. If the Start Date is not a Regular Business Day, you will be entitled to move into the Office Space after 11:00 (in the Office Space’s time zone) on the first Regular Business Day after the Start Date. Unless otherwise set forth on the Membership Details form, following the Commitment Term, this Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis (any term after the Commitment Term, a “Renewal Term”). The Commitment Term and all subsequent Renewal Terms shall constitute the “Term”. If no Commitment Term is indicated on your Membership Details Form, the default Commitment Term shall commence on the Start Date and end one (1) month after the Start Date. This Agreement will continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement.
  9. Cancellation Prior to Start Date by You. You may cancel this Agreement prior to the Start Date upon delivery of notice to us. If you terminate more than one (1) full calendar month prior to your Start Date, you may be entitled to a refund of your Set-Up Fee, less any applicable charges, expenses or deductions; however, you will not be entitled to a refund of your Service Retainer. If you terminate within one (1) full calendar month prior to your Start Date, you will not receive any refund of your Set-Up Fee or Service Retainer.
  10. Termination After the Start Date by You; Changes in OfficeSpace. Except as set forth in this section, you may terminate this Agreement by delivering to us the IdeaSpace Exit Form (“Exit Form”) at least one (1) full calendar month prior to the month in which you intend to terminate this Agreement (“Termination Effective Month”). The termination will become effective on the last Regular Business Day of the Termination Effective Month; provided that this Agreement is not terminable during the Commitment Term. During the Commitment Term, if you deliver an Exit Form to IdeaSpace at least one (1) full calendar month before the end of the Commitment Term, you may terminate the Agreement as early as the last Regular Business Day of the Commitment Term. Any Exit Form delivered to IdeaSpace during the Commitment Term but less than one (1) full calendar month before the end of the Commitment Term shall become effective in accordance with the rest of this Section 5(c). For instance, if you would like to terminate this Agreement on the last Regular Business Day of April, the last opportunity to deliver the Exit Form to us would be on March 31. The Exit Form needs to be completely filled out and signed by the Authorised Signatory. You will not be entitled to pro ration with respect to the last month’s Membership Fee. For instance, if you vacate your Office Space before the last Regular Business Day of April, you will still owe us the full Membership Fee for the month of April. On the last Regular Business Day of the month, you must vacate the Office Space no later than 16:00. Changes in Office Space, to the extent you have already occupied a different Office Space, will also require compliance with the termination obligations set forth in this Section 5 for the Office Space being vacated.
  11. Termination or Suspension After the Start Date by Us. We may withhold Services or immediately terminate this Agreement: (i) upon breach of this Agreement by you or any Member; (ii) upon termination, expiration or material loss of our rights in the Premises; (iii) if any outstanding fees are still due after we provide notice to you; (iv) if you or any of your Members fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the IdeaSpace Member Network Terms of Service, our Wireless Network Terms of Service, or any other policies or instructions provided by us; or (v) at any other time, when we, in our reasonable discretion, see fit to do so. You will remain liable for past due amounts, and we may exercise our rights to collect due payment, despite termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  12. Service Retainer. The Service Retainer will be held as a retainer for performance of all your obligations under this Agreement and is not intended to be a reserve from which fees may be paid. In the event you owe us other fees, you may not rely on deducting them from the Service Retainer, but must pay them separately. We will return the Service Retainer, or any balance after deducting outstanding fees and other costs due to us, to you by ACH within thirty (30) days (or earlier if required by applicable law) after the later of (1) the termination or expiration of this Agreement and (2) the date on which you provide to us all account information necessary for us to make such payment. Return of the Service Retainer is also subject to your complete performance of all your obligations under this Agreement, including any obligations applicable following termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  13. Removal of Property Upon Termination. Prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement, you will remove all of your, your Members’, and your or their guests’ property from the Office Space and Premises. After providing you with reasonable notice, we will be entitled to dispose of any property remaining in or on the Office Space or Premises after the termination or expiration of this Agreement and will not have any obligation to store such property, and you waive any claims or demands regarding such property or our handling of such property. You will be responsible for paying any fees reasonably incurred by us regarding such removal. Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, we will not forward or hold mail or other packages delivered to us.
  14. Deregistration of Registered Address. You may not use an address provided by us as your registered address unless you have received our prior written consent. If, following the receipt of such written consent, you are using an address provided by us as your registered address, or you change your existing registered address to a registered address provided by us, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, you shall complete the deregistration of such address with the relevant local authorities within 30 days of the date of such termination or expiration, and shall provide to us an original updated business license for our review and verification. For each whole or partial calendar month after such 30 day deadline has elapsed that you have not deregistered the registered address and provided to us proof of the same in the form of an updated business license, you agree to pay a percentage of your Membership Fee as follows: for the first whole or partial calendar month, 50%; for the second calendar month, 100%; for the third calendar month and each calendar month thereafter, 150%. Such fees may be deducted from your Service Retainer or separately charged to you, in our sole discretion. In the event that such fees are insufficient to compensate us for our losses incurred due to your breach under this Section 5(g), we shall be entitled to recover such excess losses from you.
