Prior to the last day of the Commitment Term, this Agreement may not be terminated by Member Company in whole or in part, including that Member Company may not terminate individual office space(s) within the Office Space or downgrade the Office Space (i.e., transfer to an office space with a lower Capacity). Any such purported termination by Member Company between the Effective Date and to the last day of the Commitment Term shall not be effective and shall constitute a breach of a condition of this Agreement by Member Company. In the event that WeWork terminates the Agreement on the basis of such purported termination and breach by Member Company, the parties agree that the damages to WeWork would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the only way to truly compensate for such loss would be for Member Company to pay to WeWork an amount equal to (i) the Membership Fee Obligations, plus any other payment obligations due by Member Company to WeWork for the remainder of the Term, (ii) any amounts expended by WeWork at Member Company’s request to prepare or modify the Office Space for Member Company’s use, including with respect to IT/AV/Security installations and any related restoration costs, and any WeWork Work Expenses and WeWork Work Restoration Expenses (if applicable), and (iii) any reimbursement of fees paid by WeWork to a broker in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee shall be due within thirty (30) days after WeWork provides written notice that the Termination Fee is due. The parties agree that the Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty because, among other reasons, (i) the Termination Fee is a reasonable approximation by the parties of the actual damages likely to be sustained by WeWork in the event of a termination under this section, and (ii) given WeWork’s business model and type of services offered, the execution of an agreement with another member company would not adequately compensate WeWork for its loss of the value of this Agreement. The Service Retainer shall be applied to set off such Termination Fee, and WeWork reserves the right to pursue additional rights, claims, or remedies in its discretion.
   
d. Termination by Member Company at the end of the Commitment Term or during any Rollover Renewal Term. If Member Company intends to terminate this Agreement effective as of the last day of the Commitment Term or during any Rollover Renewal Term, Member Company is required to serve WeWork advance notice of such termination in accordance with the Notice Period set out in the Membership Details Form (the “Termination Notice”). If Member Company does not serve the Termination Notice, the Agreement shall be automatically extended as set forth in Section 7(a) until Member Company does serve the appropriate Termination Notice. The monthly Membership Fee shall cease to accrue, and the termination will be effective on the later of (i) the last Regular Business Day of the calendar month at the end of the Notice Period; and (ii) the last day of the Commitment Term or the Rollover Renewal Term, as applicable.
   
e. Termination or Suspension by WeWork. WeWork may withhold Services or immediately terminate this Agreement: (i) upon breach of this Agreement by Member Company or any Member which has not been remedied within ten (10) days of receipt of a notice from WeWork of such breach; (ii) if any outstanding fees are still due after WeWork provides notice to Member Company which have not been paid within ten (10) days of receipt of a notice from WeWork; (iii) if Member Company or any of its Members fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the WeWork Member Network ToS, the WeWork Data Connection & Internet Access ToS, the WeWork Privacy Policy, or any other policies or instructions provided by WeWork or applicable to Member Company; (iv) in connection with the termination, expiration or material loss of WeWork’s rights in the Premises; or (v) at any other time, when WeWork, in its sole discretion, sees fit to do so. In the event of termination pursuant to Section

 

 General Terms & Conditions – 13
 

 

 

7(e)(i)-(iii), WeWork shall be entitled to the Termination Fee described in Section 7(c). The Termination Fee shall be due within thirty (30) days after WeWork provides written notice that the Termination Fee is due, and the parties agree that the Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty for the same reasons as described in Section 7(c). In the event of termination pursuant to Section 7(e)(iv)-(v), WeWork shall be immediately entitled to any amounts due and outstanding hereunder.

   
  An individual Member will no longer receive the Services and is no longer authorized to access the Premises upon the earlier of (x) the termination or expiration of this Agreement, (y) Member Company’s removal of such Member from the Member List, or (z) WeWork’s notice to Member Company that such Member violated this Agreement and is no longer permitted to utilize the Services. WeWork may withhold or terminate Services of individual Members for any of the foregoing reasons; in such circumstances this Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the exclusion of the relevant Member.
   
f. Removal of Property; Mail after Termination. Prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Member Company will remove all Member Company property from the Office Space and Premises, including any property of its Members or guests. After providing Member Company with reasonable notice, WeWork 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; notwithstanding the foregoing, Member Company shall be responsible for paying any fees reasonably incurred by WeWork in connection with any removal, handling, or storage of any Member Company property. Member Company hereby waives any claims or demands regarding such property or the handling or disposal of such property. WeWork shall have no implied obligations as a bailee or custodian, and Member Company hereby indemnifies WeWork and agrees to keep WeWork indemnified in respect of any claims of any third parties related to such property. Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, WeWork will not forward or hold mail or other packages delivered to Member Company.
   
g. Survival. Sections 1, 3(h), 3(i), 4 (to the extent any payments remain outstanding), 7(c), 7(f), 9, 10, and 13, and all other provisions of this Agreement reasonably expected to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement will do so.
   
8. DISCLAIMERS
   
a. Video Surveillance. For security reasons, WeWork may, but has no obligation to, regularly record certain areas in the Premises via video, provided that such areas will not include the Office Space (except for portions of the periphery of the Office Space that may be incidentally captured by the recordings).
   
b. Mail and Packages. To the extent WeWork provides mail and package services as part of this Agreement, WeWork shall not be liable for any mail or packages received without a WeWork employee’s signature indicating acceptance.

a. Indemnification.

LOCAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS – UNITED STATES

 

All references to “Sections” or “Clauses” herein refer to the Sections and Clauses of the General Terms and Conditions. In the event of inconsistency between the General Terms and Conditions and these Local Terms and Conditions, these Local Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

 

1. Registered Address. The parties acknowledge that the registered address restrictions outlined in Section 3(g) are not applicable to Premises in the United States.
   
2. ACH Authorization. To the extent Member Company’s payment method is by ACH/direct debit, Member Company authorizes WeWork to initiate ACH transactions on a recurring basis for amounts owed pursuant to this Agreement. Such authorization will remain in full force and effect until Member Company either (i) changes their form of payment method or (ii) notifies WeWork in writing that Member Company revokes this authorization with seven (7) regular business days’ notice. Member Company is required to provide an appropriate form of payment at all times during the Term.
   
  Additional Services. Member Company acknowledges and agrees that third-party partners of WeWork may contact Member Company to offer additional services after the execution of this Agreement. Member Company may opt out of further communications with such third-party partners by contacting WeWork and is not under any obligation to meet with such third-party partners or purchase such services.
   
3. ADDITIONAL INSURANCE TERMS. Member Company understands and acknowledges that if Member Company fails to obtain insurance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, WeWork will suffer damages that are difficult to determine and accurately specify. Accordingly, if Member Company does not have the requisite commercial general liability insurance (the “Required CGL Insurance”) in place at any time during the Term, or if Member Company fails to provide proof of insurance as requested by WeWork, WeWork shall be entitled to charge Member Company a monthly surcharge equivalent to $15 multiplied by the Capacity of the Office Space per month (the “Missing Insurance Fee”) which shall be added to Member Company’s invoices and paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until Member Company provides WeWork with proof that it holds the Required CGL Insurance. The parties agree that the Missing Insurance Fee is a reasonable approximation of the actual loss likely to be suffered by WeWork in the event Member Company does not have the Required CGL Insurance in place and does not constitute a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of the Missing Insurance Fee is not an alternative to Member Company procuring the Required CGL Insurance and or complying with its other obligations pursuant to this Section of the Agreement. WeWork reserves the right to pursue additional rights, claims or remedies in WeWork’s discretion.
