1. This Agreement

1.1 Nature of this agreement: This agreement is the commercial equivalent of an agreement for accommodation(s) in a hotel. The whole of the Center remains in Regus’ possession and control. THE CLIENT ACCEPTS THAT THIS AGREEMENT CREATES NO TENANCY INTEREST, LEASEHOLD ESTATE OR OTHER REAL PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE CLIENT’S FAVOUR WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCOMMODATION(S). Regus is giving the Client the right to share with Regus the use of the Center on these terms and conditions, as supplemented by the House Rules, so that Regus can provide the services to the Client. This agreement is personal to the Client and cannot be transferred to anyone else. This agreement is composed of the front page describing the accommodation(s), the present terms and conditions and the House Rules.

1.2 Comply with House Rules: The Client must comply with any House Rules which Regus imposes generally on users of the Center. The House Rules vary from country to country and from Center to Center and these can be requested locally.

1.3 Duration: This agreement lasts for the period stated in it and then will be extended automatically for successive periods equal to the current term but no less than 3 months (unless legal renewal term limits apply) until brought to an end by the Client or by Regus. All periods shall run to the last day of the month in which they would otherwise expire. The fees on any renewal will be at the then prevailing market rate.

1.4 Bringing this agreement to an end: Either Regus or the Client can terminate this agreement at the end date stated in it, or at the end of any extension or renewal period, by giving at least three months written notice to the other. However, if this agreement, extension or renewal is for three months or less and either Regus or the Client wishes to terminate it, the notice period is two months or (if two months or shorter) one week less than the period stated in this agreement.

1.5 Ending this agreement immediately: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Regus may put an end to this agreement immediately by giving the Client notice and without need to follow any additional procedure if (a) the Client becomes insolvent, bankrupt, goes into liquidation or becomes unable to pay its debts as they fall due, or (b) the Client is in breach of one of its obligations which cannot be put right or which Regus have given the Client notice to put right and which the Client has failed to put right within fourteen (14) days of that notice, or (c) its conduct, or that of someone at the Center with its permission or invitation, is incompatible with ordinary office use.

If Regus puts an end to this agreement for any of these reasons it does not put an end to any outstanding obligations, including additional services used and the monthly office fee for the remainder of the period for which this agreement would have lasted if Regus had not ended it.

1.6 If the Center is no longer available: In the event that Regus is permanently unable to provide the services and accommodation(s) at the Center stated in this agreement then this agreement will end and the Client will only have to pay monthly office fees up to the date it ends and for the additional services the Client has used. Regus will try to find suitable alternative accommodation(s) for the Client at another Regus Center.

1.7 When this agreement ends the Client is to vacate the accommodation(s) immediately, leaving the accommodation(s) in the same condition as it was when the Client took it. Upon the Client’s departure or if the Client, at its option, chooses to relocate to different rooms within the Centre, Regus will charge an Office Restoration Service fee to cover normal cleaning and testing and to return the accommodation(s) to its original state. This fee will differ by country and is listed in the House Rules. Regus reserves the right to charge additional reasonable fees for any repairs needed above and beyond normal wear and tear. If the Client leaves any property in the Centre Regus may dispose of it at the Client’s cost in any way Regus chooses without owing the Client any responsibility for it or any proceeds of sale. When a Client vacates its accommodation(s) invariably Regus continues to receive the Client’s mail, faxes, telephone calls and visitors. In order to professionally manage the redirection of the Client’s calls, mail, faxes and visitors Regus charges a one-time Business Continuity Service. This service lasts for three months after the end of the date of this agreement. If in the event that there are no calls, mail, faxes or visitors this service will not be applied. This fee is located in the house rules.

If the Client continues to use the accommodation(s) when this agreement has ended the Client is responsible for any loss, claim or liability Regus incurs as a result of the Client’s failure to vacate on time. Regus may, at its discretion, permit the Client an extension subject to a surcharge on the monthly office fee.

1.8 Employees: While this agreement is in force and for a period of six months after it ends, neither Regus nor the Client may knowingly solicit or offer employment to any of the other’s staff employed in the Center. This obligation applies to any employee employed at the Center up to that employee’s termination of employment, and for three months thereafter. It is stipulated that the breaching party shall pay the non-breaching party the equivalent of one year’s salary for any employee concerned. Nothing in this clause shall prevent either party from employing an individual who responds in good faith and independently to an advertisement which is made to the public at large.

1.9 Client Representation of Regus Employees: Throughout the duration of this agreement, Client agrees that neither Client, nor any of Client’s partners, members, officers or employees will represent, or otherwise provide legal counsel to, any of Regus’ current or former employees in any dispute with, or legal proceeding against, Regus, or any of Regus’ affiliates, members, officers or employees.

1.10 Notices: All formal notices must be in writing to the address first written above.

1.11 Confidentiality: The terms of this agreement are confidential. Neither Regus nor the Client must disclose them without the other’s consent unless required to do so by law or an official authority. This obligation continues after this agreement ends.

1.12 Applicable law: This agreement is interpreted and enforced in accordance with the law of the place where the relevant Centre is located. Regus and the Client both accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of such jurisdiction. If any provision of these terms and conditions is held void or unenforceable under the applicable law, the other provisions shall remain in force. In the case of Japan all arrangements will interpreted and enforced by the Tokyo District Court, and in the case of France, any dispute regarding this agreement will be settled by the relevant courts of the Paris jurisdiction.

1.13 Enforcing this agreement: The Client must pay any reasonable and proper costs including legal fees that Regus incurs in enforcing this agreement.

2. Services and Obligations

2.1 Furnished office accommodation(s): Regus is to provide the number of serviced and furnished office accommodation(s) for which the Client has agreed to pay in the Center stated in this agreement. This agreement lists the accommodation(s) Regus has initially allocated for the Client’s use. The Client will have a non-exclusive right to the rooms allocated to it. Occasionally Regus may need to allocate different accommodation(s), but these accommodation(s) will be of reasonably equivalent size and Regus will notify the Client with respect to such different accommodation(s) in advance.

2.2 Office Services: Regus is to provide during normal opening hours the services, if requested, described in the relevant service description (which is available on request).

Regus cannot guarantee that a particular degree of availability will be attained in connection with the Client’s use of Regus’ network (or the internet). The Client’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the remedy of such failure by Regus within a reasonable time after written notice.

7.1 The extent of Regus’ liability: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Regus is not liable to the Client in respect of any loss or damage the Client suffers in connection with this agreement, with the services or with the Client’s accommodation(s) unless Regus has acted deliberately or negligently in causing that loss or damage.

Without limit for personal injury or death;

 

 

Up to a maximum of £1 million / USD$2 million / €1.3 million (or local equivalent) for any one event or series of connected events for damage to the Client’s personal property except in Turkey where it will be up to a maximum of the monthly office fee over the current term;

8.1 Taxes and duty charges: The Client agrees to pay promptly (i) all sales, use, excise, consumption and any other taxes and license fees which it is required to pay to any governmental authority (and, at Regus’ request, will provide to Regus evidence of such payment) and (ii) any taxes paid by Regus to any governmental authority that are attributable to the accommodation(s), including, without limitation, any gross receipts, rent and occupancy taxes, tangible personal property taxes, stamp tax or other documentary taxes and fees.

8.2 Service Retainer/Deposit: The Client will be required to pay a service retainer/deposit equivalent to two months’ of the monthly office fee (plus VAT/Tax where applicable) upon entering into this agreement unless a greater amount is specified on the front of this agreement. This will be held by Regus without generating interest as security for performance of all the Client’s obligations under this agreement. The service retainer/deposit or any balance after deducting outstanding fees, the Business Continuity and Office Restoration Service and other costs due to Regus, will be returned to the Client after the Client has settled its account with Regus and funds have been cleared.

8.4 The Client will be charged an office set up fee per occupant. Fee amounts are located in the House Rules which can be requested at anytime.

8.5 Late Payment: If the Client does not pay fees when due, a fee will be charged on all overdue balances. This will differ by country and is listed in the House Rules. If the Client disputes any part of an invoice the Client must pay the amount not in dispute by the due date or be subject to late fees. Regus also reserves the right to withhold services (including for the avoidance of doubt, denying the Client access to its accommodations(s)) while there are any outstanding fees and/or interest or the Client is in breach of this agreement.

8.6 Payment : Regus is continually striving to reduce its environmental impact and supports its clients in doing the same. Therefore Regus will send all invoices electronically (where allowed by law) and the Client will make payments via an automated method such as Direct Debit or Credit Card, wherever local banking systems permit.

8.7 Insufficient Funds: The Client will pay a fee for any returned check or any other declined payments due to insufficient funds. This fee will differ by country and is listed in the House Rules.

8.8. Regus will increase the monthly office fee each and every anniversary of the start date of this agreement by a percentage amount equal to the increase in the All Items Retail Prices Index, or such other broadly equivalent Index which Regus substitutes provided that if the foregoing increase is not permitted by applicable law, then the monthly office fee shall be increased as specified in the House Rules. This will only apply to agreements that have an original start and end date constituting more than a 12 month term. Renewals will be renewed as per clause 1.3 above and only those renewals with a start and end date constituting a term of over 12 months will have the same increase applied.

8.9 Standard services: The monthly office fee and any recurring services requested by the Client are payable monthly in advance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these recurring services will be provided by Regus at the specified rates for the duration of this Agreement (including any renewal). Specific due dates will differ by country and are listed in the House rules. Where a daily rate applies, the charge for any such month will be 30 times the daily fee. For a period of less than a month the fee will be applied on a daily basis.

8.10 Pay-as-you-use and additional Variable Services: Fees for pay-as-you-use services, plus applicable taxes, in accordance with Regus’ published rates which may change from time to time, are invoiced in arrears and payable the month following the calendar month in which the additional services were provided. Specific due dates will differ by country and are listed in the House Rules.

8.11 Discounts, Promotions and Offers: If the Client benefited from a special discount, promotion or offer, Regus may discontinue that discount, promotion or offer without notice if the Client breaches these terms and conditions or becomes past due on two or more occasions.
