Who you are. References to “you,” “your” and similar words in these Terms refer to the individual or entity registering for any Services and agreeing to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, authority, and consent to bind such entity to these Terms.

For the avoidance of doubt, references to “Services” in these Terms refer to your access to and use of our online member network, member-­‐only events, offerings, and space in coworkHERS and certain other related services and features we provide.

“Services” do not include, and we are not involved in or liable for, the provision of products or services by third parties (“Third Party Services”) that you may elect to purchase in connection with your Membership, such as group health insurance, parking, gym memberships or payroll services. Third-Party Services are provided solely by the applicable third party (“Third Party Service Providers”) and pursuant to separate arrangements between you and the applicable Third Party Service Providers. These Third-Party Service Providers’ terms and conditions will control with respect to the relevant Third Party Services.

Some features of the Services may be subject to Additional Terms, which will be posted with those features or otherwise communicated to you. We will consider your use of those features as your acceptance of the applicable Additional Terms, and those Additional Terms will be incorporated in these Terms by this reference.

How we might change our Services or these Terms. The availability and scope of the Services, as well as the availability and scope of benefits we offer in relation to Third Party Services, are subject to change from time to time at our sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that our Premises, and the Services we may offer at any of our Premises, are also subject to change from time to time. From time to time, we may also make modifications, deletions, or additions to these Terms and will provide you with notice of changes to these Terms or to Services that apply to you, by emailing the last email address provided by you in your profile or by posting a notice on the coworkHERS Network. Most changes will be effective immediately upon notice, except that pricing and fee changes will be effective upon your next subscription period. If you don’t agree with the changes, you may cancel your Membership at any time, but note that there are no refunds for early cancellation.

Creating Your Membership

Passwords and pin codes. Do not reveal your account password or share your pin code or other access device or credentials to anyone else (or let them use your account), and don’t make any copies of any keys, keycards, or other means of entry to our Premises (each, an “Access Device”). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and the security of your Access Device. You must promptly notify us if you suspect your password or Access Device has been compromised. Access Devices remain our property, and you must return them immediately upon termination or expiration of your Membership. You may be charged a replacement fee for any lost or damaged Access Devices.

Linking to a company. During the registration process, you may identify a Company (defined below) with whom your profile is associated. Alternatively, your individual profile may have been created by an authorized representative of your employer or other entity for which you provide services (a “Company”), and your profile will be associated with such a Company. You agree that you will not falsely represent your association with any Company, impersonate any third party, or otherwise submit or present any false or misleading information to us or the coworkHERS community. In the event your relationship with the Company in your profile changes or ends, you agree to promptly update your profile to reflect this, you may submit a request to do so at [email protected]. If your Membership is provided by a Company, you may lose access to the Services upon termination or change in the status of your relationship with such Company. If you are an authorized representative of an entity receiving the Services, you hereby warrant and represent to us that (a) you have the proper authority to create, terminate and maintain the company account and to add and remove individual members to and from the account and (b) you have obtained all necessary consent from any applicable individuals for the creation of their accounts and the processing of individual information within and outside of the US. You agree to indemnify us for any loss we may suffer as a result of any breach of these warranties and representations.

Paying for Your Membership

By signing up for a coworkHERS Membership, or any other Services (including any Service Packages or Daily Desk or Conference Room reservations) and providing your payment information, you agree to pay us the recurring or nonrecurring fees associated with the particular Services you are purchasing, as displayed to you at the time you create your account and/or sign up for the relevant Services, or as updated by us from time to time upon notice to you. You acknowledge and agree that the payment method provided by you will be automatically charged the fees and any other amounts you may incur or be liable for (including for damages caused to any of our Premises or property) in connection with the Services. Only a single payment method may be used at any given time to make payments for all Services you purchase in a single transaction. You must keep your payment information up-­‐to-­‐date and accurate. Recurring fees, which may include recurring membership fees (“Membership Fees”) and any other recurring fees you have agreed to in connection with the Services will be charged on the first (1st) of each month unless we notify you otherwise. Overage fees and other non-­‐recurring fees will be charged within thirty (30) days of you accruing such fees. If payment for your 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 in the coworkHERS membership packet. Your use of the Services may be immediately suspended, and eventually terminated, if we are unable to charge your payment instrument for any reason. When we receive funds from you, we will first apply the funds to any balances which are in arrears and to the earliest month due to first. Once past balances are satisfied, any remaining portion of the funds will be applied to current fees due. The fees applicable to your account may be subject to modification from time to time, and such modifications will become effective upon your next subscription period. Your continued use of the Services following notice of any such modifications, and through the next payment date, constitutes your agreement to such modified fees. You may at any time cancel your account as set forth below if you do not agree to any modified fees. If we have charged you VAT (Value Added Tax) and if, according to law, the Services provided by us to you pursuant to these terms are at any time found to be exempt from VAT, then we will credit the VAT charged to you and collected by us. In addition, in such an event, the fee charged to you will be retroactively increased by an amount equal to the VAT amount that is to be credited to you. Such credits and accompanying fee increases will offset each other and the total amount paid to us by you will remain the same.

Pets. You may only bring pets into the Premises with proof of vaccination for such pets in a form satisfactory to us. You must accompany your pet at all times unless it is in an enclosed space that you have reserved. You will be responsible for any injury or damage caused by any pet you or any of your employees, invitees, or guests bring into any Premises. We will not be responsible for any injury to any pets. We reserve the right to restrict any member’s or other individual’s right to bring a pet into the Premises at any time at our sole discretion.

Account termination. If you fail, or if we suspect that you have failed, to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms, or at any other time when we in our reasonable discretion see fit to do so, we may, at our sole discretion, restrict your access to your account and the Services and/or terminate your account with immediate effect and possibly without prior notice to you. In addition, we may decline to renew your subscription for any or all Services at the end of your subscription period for any reason or for no reason. We may also at any time terminate your account and/or Membership. You can cancel your account with a 30-day notice by submitting a request to [email protected]. Please note that if your individual account was created by a Company, (a) an authorized representative of such Company may at any time terminate your individual account by contacting us, and (b) we may terminate your account, even if the Company’s account remains active, and even if you continue to be employed or engaged by such Company. Cancellation will be effective on the last day of the month following the 30-day notice of cancellation. For example, if you cancel on March 1st you will owe for the month of March and your membership will end on March 31st. If you cancel after March 1st (for example March 15th) you will owe payment for both March and April and your membership will end on April 30th.

If any provision of these Terms and/or any feature-­‐specific guidelines, terms, or rules that may be posted or provided to you are held to be unenforceable, then that provision is to be interpreted either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by law) or disregarding it (if not). If an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this paragraph, the rest of these Terms and/or any feature-­‐specific guidelines, terms, or rules that may be posted or provided to you are to remain in effect as written, and the unenforceable provision is to remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under these Terms at any time for any period will not be construed as a waiver of such rights, and the exercise of one right or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy.

Nature of these Terms. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, these Terms in no way shall be construed as to grant you any title, lease, easement, lien, possession, or related rights in our business, Premises, or anything contained in our Premises. These Terms create no tenancy interest (including any security of tenure), leasehold estate, or other real property interest. Neither party will in any way misrepresent our relationship.
