Terms of Use

The terms and conditions stated herein (collectively, the “Terms of Use” or the “Agreement”) constitute a legal agreement between you (“you”, “You” or the “User”) and DESKPASS CORPORATION (“Deskpass”, the “Company”, “us”, ”we”, or “our”), and govern the use of the website (the "Site"), any Deskpass mobile device software applications (the "Application"), and any related services (together with the Site and Application, the "Service") made available by Deskpass at www.deskpass.com. By accessing, using or participating in the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. We may modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use, including the pricing terms, at any time. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you must cease using the Service. If we change these Terms of Use, we will post a notice that we have made changes to these Terms of Use on the Site for at least 7 days after the changes are posted and will indicate at the bottom of the Terms of Use the date these terms were last revised. Any revisions to these Terms of Use will become effective on the earlier of (i) the end of such 7-day period or (ii) the first time you access or use the Service after such changes have been posted. If you do not agree to abide by these Terms of Use, you are not authorized to use, access or participate in (or continue to use, access or participate in) the Service.

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OR ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES, BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (UNLESS YOU FOLLOW THE OPT-OUT PROCEDURE) AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION TITLED “ARBITRATION” BELOW TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES WITH DESKPASS.

These Terms of Use include a general release by you of all claims for damages against us that may arise out of, in connection with, or with respect to, your use of the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you are agreeing to this general release. Some states prohibit such general releases. If your state prohibits general releases, this paragraph will not apply to you, but the remainder of these Terms of Use shall remain applicable to the maximum extent provided by law.

1. Service

In these Terms of Use, Space (“Space” or “Spaces”) refers to the Host's physical location, including entry and access areas, and any common areas, as applicable, which are reserved or accessed through the Service. Users that reserve or otherwise schedule time in a Space on the Service are referred to as Guests (“Guest” or “Guests”) and Users that offer a reservation or otherwise make available their Space through the Service are referred to as Hosts (“Host” or “Hosts”). Spaces are provided by independent third parties, the Hosts, not by the Company.

You should understand that Hosts are also required to agree to additional terms and conditions relating to the provision of services to Users; and such additional terms and conditions will be provided by the Company directly to Hosts in the course of the registration process or otherwise as determined by the Company.

THE SERVICE COMPRISES AN ONLINE PLATFORM THROUGH WHICH HOSTS MAY CREATE LISTINGS FOR SPACE , AND USERS AND GUESTS MAY LEARN ABOUT AND BOOK SPACES DIRECTLY WITH THE HOSTS, AS WELL AS MANAGE OTHER USERS WHO ARE PART OF THEIR TEAM. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT DESKPASS IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN HOSTS AND GUESTS, NOR IS DESKPASS A REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT OR INSURER, EVEN IF GUESTS AND HOSTS USE THE SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW) FOR THEIR AGREEMENT. DESKPASS HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF HOSTS, GUESTS AND OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE OR ANY SPACES, AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IN THIS REGARD TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT, NO PORTION OF THE FEES WILL DEEMED TO BE COMPENSATION FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, AS BROKERAGE FEES.

The Service may provide Users the ability to reserve spaces through a variety of reservation and billing programs, including but not limited to pay-as-you-go, subscription, and as part of a Team (the "Team"), managed by one or more managers (the "Team Manager(s)") where invited Users are grouped into a Team account. The Team Account is subject to the same Terms as Users.

The Service enables the User to pay for space use (the “Space Reservation”) that may include hourly, daily, weekly or monthly charges (the “Space Use Charge”).

The Service may charge Users and Hosts fees for use of the Service, including subscription, reservation, service, and late fees, as communicated to User by the Service.

The service may provide subscriptions with a certain number of day pass credits per month valid between the Space’s open and closing times (“Credit” or “Credits”) to select Spaces in exchange for specified monthly membership fee (each, a “Membership” or a “Subscription”).

You understand that the Membership has a monthly cycle (the “Cycle”), and that, unless otherwise agreed, the monthly Cycle applicable to the Service begins and renews as of the monthly calendar date on which the Service was initially acquired (e.g. if You acquire Service as of the 5th of the month, the Membership will last until the end of business on the 4th of the following month). Additional terms applicable to such Membership may be detailed on the Site. Each Membership will be valid for one calendar month, and can be used only to make reservations at Spaces on days Spaces are open and have available reservations.

Deskpass may choose, at its sole discretion, to offer rollover Credit features for unused Credits, as noted in the Membership descriptions, rolling select unused Credits into the following month, transferring them during plan changes, setting caps on how many unused credits may be saved, or expiring unused credits over time. The Service does not include any guarantee of any minimum number of reservations, and Deskpass may elect to offer or rescind any of the foregoing Credits at any time..

Company may choose to offer Guest Credit features that enable You to assign a limited number of Your Credits to a Guest who will be subject to this Agreement by accepting your invitation. Guest Credits are assigned to specific persons, and may not be reassigned to another person by You or your guest.

Memberships are put on hold if the monthly fee is not paid or cannot be charged due to a billing Cycle, and any unused Credits you may have accumulated from previous subscription Cycles may not be usable by You until the billing issue is resolved and your Subscription is reinstated. Company may cancel your account and delete any unused Credits you may have accumulated after a period of time determined by Company in the course of resolving a billing issue. No refunds will be provided for unused Credits; any unused Credits are forfeited upon cancellation of Your Deskpass Membership.

If You are a company or similar entity, and You purchase a Deskpass Subscription for an employee of Yours, You agree that each such Deskpass Subscription will be assigned to a specific employee, and cannot be reassigned to any other employee. No Deskpass Subscription can be assigned to non-employees absent the specific agreement of the Company.

No refunds will be made for partial Deskpass Membership Cycles – all cancellations apply to and take effect as of the end of the applicable monthly Deskpass Membership Cycle. Deskpass Membership charges will automatically renew on a monthly basis unless terminated by the User in advance of the end of the Cycle, which prevents Membership renewal at the end of the Cycle.

2. Accounts; Registration Data; Account Security

In order to make a reservation in a Space, or to offer a reservation, or otherwise make available your Space to another User through the Service, you must register for a User account.

In connection with registering for, using or participating in the Service (whether as a Guest and/or Host), you agree to (i) provide accurate, current and complete information about you and your organization as requested by Deskpass (“Profile” and "Registration Data", respectively); (ii) maintain the confidentiality of your password and other information related to the security of your account; (iii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data and any other information you provide to Deskpass, to keep such information accurate, current and complete; and (iv) be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place through your account.

3. Guests

In order to be able to use the Service, Guest first needs to sign up with the Company, which you can do through the Website or through the Application. When signing up, you are obligated to provide the Company with your personal information, name, email, image, credit card data (which will be held and processed by our third party payment provider, further details of which are set out in the paragraph below and in our Privacy Policy), on occasion your mobile telephone number, and for security, users may be able to elect to scan upload their government ID to verify their identity and have access to specific Spaces. The ID verification data is kept with a separate service provider and is voluntary.

Upon successful completion of your sign-up with the Company, you will be provided with a personal account (an “Account”), accessible to you by a password of your choice. You agree to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date account information, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to access and use the Service or Spaces.

As further described in the Privacy Policy, the Company uses a third-party payment processor (the Payment Processor) to link your credit card account to the Service. The processing of payments or credits, as applicable, in connection with your use of the Service and Spaces will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer in addition to this Agreement. The Company is not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor.

4. Hosts

Use of the Service by Hosts is also governed by our Host Terms located at www.deskpass.com/legal/host-terms (the “Host Terms”), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference. By using the Service as a Host, you are agreeing to be bound by, and consent to the terms of, the Host Terms.

5. Agreements Between Guests and Hosts

By making a reservation for a Space via the Service, each Guest acknowledges and agrees that it is entering into an agreement directly with the applicable Host, the terms of which are located at www.deskpass.com/legal/space-use-license (the “Space Use License Agreement”) and which include any and all additional terms, conditions and policies provided by the Host relating to the use of such Space, including building security procedures, IT access and use procedures, maximum occupancy limitations and other terms or procedures provided by the Host (the "House Rules” and, together with the Space Use License Agreement, as applicable, the “Space License Agreement”).

The following terms shall apply to all Service Terms, specifically also the Space Use License Agreement, in accordance with the applicable Registration Data, Profile, Space, Guest, and Host.

For Reservations:

  • the “Agreement Time” shall mean the date and time the reservation is booked through the Service;

  • a “Minimum Fee” may apply;

  • the “Host” shall mean the Host and the Host’s email and address shall have the values set by the Host in the Host’s Profile as of the Agreement Time;

  • "You" or “Guest” shall mean the Guest and the Guest’s email and address shall have the values set by the Guest in the Guest’s Profile as of the Agreement Time;

  • the “Space” shall be the space the Guest reserves by making a reservation through the Service;

  • the “Maximum Occupancy” shall be the value set by the Host in the Profile for the Space as of the Agreement Time;

  • the “Building” shall be the Building in which the Space is located as set by the Host in the Profile for the Space as of the Agreement Time;

  • the “Term” shall be the term of the reservation specified by the Guest and authorized by the Host;

  • the “Desk, Meeting, And Office Fee(s)” shall be set by the Host in the Profile for the Space as of the Agreement Time;

  • Deskpass may charge Users and Hosts a “Service Fee(s)” for providing the Service and for processing reservations and charges, as well as late fees for past due balances, as communicated to You through the Service and as set forth in the Host Onboarding Terms;

  • the Subscription, Desk, Meeting, And Office Fee(s), Service Fees, and late fees together shall be the “Fees”;

In the event of any conflict between the Space License Agreement and these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use shall govern and control.

While Deskpass is not a party to the Space License Agreement between a Guest and a Host, a Guest’s use of the Service is dependent upon such Guest’s compliance with the Space License Agreement. Consequently, as a Guest, you agree to abide by, and cause your employees, agents, guests, invitees, contractors, directors, shareholders, members and representatives to abide by, the Space License Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the House Rules and the Space Use License Agreement, as applicable, the terms set forth in the House Rules shall control. Any acknowledgement and acceptance of the Space License Agreement, as well as of any applicable House Rules, by a Guest as a part of making a reservation establishes an agreement directly between the Guest and the applicable Host. The Hosts, not Deskpass, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed reservation and making available any Spaces reserved through the Service. Guests, and not Deskpass, will be responsible for complying with the applicable Space License Agreement and performing their obligations under any such agreements. Deskpass is not a party to those agreements, and Deskpass disclaims any and all liability arising from, related to or in connection with any such agreements. Deskpass does not act as an insurer or as a Guest’s or Host’s real estate broker.

Deskpass may, but has no obligation to, monitor disputes between you and any other Users relating to the Service.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Deskpass IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IN ANY MANNER FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH ANY OTHER USERS, GUESTS, HOSTS INCLUDING ANY SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENTS THAT YOU ENTER INTO. Deskpass DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS BY HOSTS OR IN ANY COLLECTIONS (AS DEFINED BELOW), OR THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY SPACES. YOU HEREBY RELEASE Deskpass FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING FROM RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH TRANSACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS, INCLUDING ANY SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENTS THAT YOU ENTER INTO, LISTINGS ON THE SITE, COLLECTIONS SENT TO YOU BY ANOTHER USER AND THE QUALITY, HABITABILITY, CONDITIONS OR SUITABILITY OF ANY SPACE.

You hereby acknowledge that you are aware of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

With full awareness and understanding of the above provisions, you hereby waive any rights you may have under Section 1542, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.

6. Payment

You agree to the Fees and charges and other pricing terms applicable to your use of the Service as specified in these Terms of Use and as otherwise communicated to you through the Service, including any applicable Service Fees. All Fees and charges paid by Users in connection with the Service are non-refundable, except as expressly stated otherwise in these Terms of Use. Deskpass may change the Fees and Service Fees at any time in its sole discretion.

You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes associated with your use of the Service.

In exchange for your use of the Service, you agree that Deskpass will process payments on your behalf and be the Host’s limited payment collection agent, and the Fees paid shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Host.

For Memberships, Deskpass will process payment for the monthly fee on the first day of the Cycle.

For Space Reservations, Deskpass will process payment for the applicable reservation within 2 hours after the reservation ended. You will be charged the Fees for the total time reserved, as set forth in the offering for the Space. Any changes you make to your reservation after it is made may result in an adjustment to the Fees for the reservation subject to the Cancellation Terms (defined below). In the event you use the Space for longer than the amount of time you booked for your reservation, the applicable Host may adjust the Space Use Charge for your reservation based on your actual use of the Space. If you believe a change to your Space Use Charge made by a Host was in error, you may request a refund by providing notice to Deskpass through the Service. Deskpass may provide you a full or partial refund, after a thorough review with the Host, as determined at Deskpass’s sole discretion. Additionally, any associated Fees may also be partially or fully refunded solely at Deskpass discretion.

Upon any change to a payment method or each reservation request, Deskpass may seek authorization of Your selected payment method via credit card or bank authorization to verify Your payment method, ensure the reservation cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge, however, it may reduce Your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing Cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in Your account, You may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing Your debit or check card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.

7. Credit Card Information and Charge Processing

Payment details you provide will be encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology before they are submitted over the internet. Payments made on the Service are made through our payment gateway provider, Stripe, Inc. (www.stripe.com). You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to Stripe which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorizing payment. Information which you supply to Stripe is not within our control and is subject to Stripe's own privacy policy and terms and conditions. Deskpass access to credit card information and payments are limited to the access described in the Privacy Policy.

Credit card payment processing services are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms and/or by using any credit card processing services via the Service, User agrees to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time.

Guest must maintain a valid credit card on file in order to maintain a Deskpass Membership and use the Service. By providing such information and using the Service, User understands and agrees that Deskpass (and/or the third party service provider, as applicable) may process charges for payments so initiated by the User in accordance with the Fees and rates that are then in effect.

Each User will indemnify, defend, and hold Deskpass harmless from any breach of credit or debit card processing and/or issuing agreements, and/or violation of applicable law.

8. License Agreement

Deskpass may use temporary authorized holds on your credit card to verify your payment method. When you create a Deskpass account, update your payment method, or make a reservation, you may see a pending transaction on your payment method, an Authorization Hold. This is not an extra charge, it’s a temporary authorization hold used to verify your payment method. The hold will never actually process, but may show up as "pending" on your bank statement. If you see a pending amount, it will be removed by your card issuer, usually within 3-5 business days, and your card will never actually be charged. Once your card is successfully charged, Deskpass immediately releases the hold. Please contact your bank for more information about their authorization timeframes and policies.

If you are a Host, you acknowledge that Deskpass accepts payments from Guests as a limited collection agent for the Host and that Deskpass’s obligation to pay the Host is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Guests. Deskpass does not guarantee payments to Hosts for amounts that have not been successfully received by Deskpass from Guests.

Deskpass may collect a Deposit on behalf of the Host and hold it for the benefit of the Guest and Host during the term of the reservation pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Space License Agreement.

Any reservations that are cancelled by the Guest or by the Space at the Guest's request are subject to the Cancellation Terms.

9. Cancellation Terms

Cancellations of any Space License Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Space License Agreement (the "Cancellation Terms").

  • a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;

  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;

  • identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;

  • your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address;

  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

  • a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you believe that your User Content that was removed after we received a notice of copyright infringement is not actually infringing, or that you have the necessary rights to post your User Content, please send us a counter-notice containing the following information:

  • your physical or electronic signature (with your full legal name);

  • identification of the User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the User Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

  • a statement that you have a good faith belief, under penalty of perjury, that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content; and

  • your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of the alleged infringement.

If we receive a counter-notice, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the person alleging copyright infringement and inform that person that we may replace the removed User Content in ten business days. Unless the original person alleging copyright infringement files an action seeking a court order against the User Content Host, member or User, the removed User Content may be replaced, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Deskpass’s sole discretion.

Filing a counter-notification may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership. Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process.

We reserve the right to remove User Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice and at our sole discretion. In appropriate circumstances, Deskpass may also terminate a User's account if the User is determined to be a repeat infringer.

Deskpass shall not be liable to You or any third party for any claim or liability of any kind that arises from Users’ interactions with any Hosts or with any other third party organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Service. This includes, but is not limited to, any claim or liability arising from or associated with: The ability of Users to access a Host’s facilities; the conditions at or the use of a Host’s facilities; any services, food, or other aspects or features of a Host’s facilities; the delivery of goods and services in general, the content or subject matter found on the Service or any website, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with listings on the Service. In addition, Deskpass shall not be liable for any damage or loss of any kind caused by Users when such Users access or use any Space or associated facilities.

You understand that Deskpass is not a Host, and that Deskpass is not responsible for the quality or security of Space(s) or services provided by Hosts. By using the Service and/or by accessing any Space(s) You acknowledge and agree, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives and/or assigns that you are aware of, and that You expressly assume, any and all of the risks associated with using the Service and accessing Space(s), which may include, but are not limited to, property damage, illness and bodily injury or death. Hosts, not Deskpass, are responsible for maintaining applicable ADA compliance and update their ADA status on their profile hosted within Deskpass’s Service platform.

Hosts agree that their sole recourse for any Claim of any kind caused by or arising from Users’ access to or use of Spaces (or Host’s facilities in general) will be against such User(s) or applicable third party(s); and further, Hosts hereby waive any recourse against Deskpass for any such Claims.

24. Limitation of Liability - Australian Consumer Law

If you are a "consumer" for the purposes of the Australian Consumer Law, certain guarantees may be conferred on you and certain rights and remedies may be conferred on you which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.

26. Governing Law; Arbitration

THIS SECTION INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND AN AGREEMENT THAT ALL CLAIMS WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY (AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING). PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BY FOLLOWING THE OPT OUT PROCEDURE DESCRIBED BELOW.

27. Informal Process First

You agree that if you have any dispute with Deskpass relating in any way to these Terms of Use or from access to or use of the Service, you will first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.

28. Arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”)

If we are unable to resolve the dispute informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of, in connection with or relating to these Terms of Use by binding arbitration. If you are an individual you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days of the first of the date you access or use the Service by following the procedure described below.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the dispute is resolved by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Deskpass are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

If you intend to seek arbitration, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must first send written notice to Deskpass of your intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Deskpass should be sent by emailing the Notice to [email protected].

The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. The arbitration will be administered by the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) under the CPR Rules for Administered Arbitration by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in the County of Cook, State of Illinois, United States.

Each party will be responsible for paying any CPR, administrative and arbitrator fees (other than the initial filing fees) in accordance with CPR Rules, except that Deskpass will pay for your reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000 and is non-frivolous (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the Service.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Deskpass and you are an individual, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending an email to: [email protected] within 30 days of the first of the date you access or use the Service.

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS GUEST IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND DESKPASS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute will be governed exclusively and irrevocably by the laws of the State of Illinois and the FAA without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or your state or country of residence, and will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in Cook County, Illinois, United States. You consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

29. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Deskpass harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of, related to, or in connection with any User Content you post or distribute on or through the Service, your use of or participation in the Service, your interactions with other Users of the Service, and any violation of these Terms of Use, the Space License Agreement, the Host Terms or of any law or the rights of any third party. Deskpass reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, in which event You will assist and cooperate with Deskpass in asserting any available defenses and will remain financially responsible for such liability.

30. General

These Terms of Use, the Host Terms, and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Deskpass regarding the use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements between you and Deskpass relating to your use of the Service. The failure of Deskpass to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use, or the Host Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms of Use or the Host Terms is determined to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions. You may not assign, transfer or delegate in any manner these Terms of Use or the Host Terms or the rights and obligations hereunder or thereunder to any third party.

31. International and Other Jurisdictions

Accessing the Service is prohibited from territories where such content of service is illegal. If You access the Service from other locations, You do so at Your own initiative and risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws. Access and use of the Service is limited to the United States.

32. Electronic Delivery/Notice Policy and Consent

By using the Service, You consent to receive from Deskpass reasonable communications including notices, agreements, legally required disclosures or other information in connection with the Service (collectively, "Contract Notices") electronically. Deskpass may provide such electronic Contract Notices by posting them on the Service. If You desire to withdraw Your consent to receive Contract Notices electronically, You must discontinue Your use of the Service.

33. Integration and Severability

This Agreement between You and Deskpass with respect to the Service supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between You and Deskpass with respect to the Service. If any provision of the Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

34. Miscellaneous

Deskpass shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Deskpass’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including ‘line-noise’ interference). The terms of the Agreement are personal to You, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by You except with Deskpass's prior written consent. Deskpass may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Agreement and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. All notices under the Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service. No forbearance or failure by Deskpass to enforce any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof or an amendment to this Agreement. No action by a Host or statement by any person other than the President of Deskpass shall operate to amend the terms of this Agreement. To the extent there is an inconsistency between the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service shall govern.
