Description of the Services

The Applications and other services on the Site (the “Services”) are provided on a platform whereby i) a Studio may post details of a space (the “Space”) that may be available for use by a Booking Creative, ii) Studios and Booking Creatives (together called the “Users”) may communicate with each other regarding the Space, and iii) a Booking Creative may book the Space, at an agreed upon price, and subject to any other agreed upon terms set out in the Space Details and Booking Request. SpaceforArts does not:-

  1. own, operate, provide, license, lease, rent, sell, resell, manage, or otherwise control any Space outside of its private offices located in the United States;
  2. perform background checks of any Users; or
  3. conduct any inspections of Spaces.

SpaceforArts does not endorse any Users or any Space. Rather, SpaceforArts’ sole responsibility is to make available a neutral communication platform, subject to these Terms, through which Studios can notify details of Spaces and Booking Creatives can book and rent Spaces from Studios.

SPACES

Adding and Managing Spaces

As a Studio, you may add Spaces through the Services and describe Spaces you would like to make available for Booking Creatives to use, as set out in the relevant Space Details for each Space. At a minimum, the Space Details for a Space must include the following: location, size, and availability of the Space; all applicable charges inclusive of any taxes; permitted and prohibited uses of the Space, and any restrictions under applicable Laws, including but not limited to planning/zoning laws or restrictions and covenants, conditions and restrictions, that are applicable to any Space; rules concerning utility use; limitations on personal property allowed in a Space by a Booking Creative; requirements by a Booking Creative to have any necessary insurance (e.g., employer’s liability, public liability, general commercial liability, etc.); the disposition of any personal property left in any Space by a Booking Creative; and any additional special rules, terms or conditions with which a Booking Creative must comply. You may not use the Services to make any Space available for sale, residential use or lodging purposes, or criminal or otherwise illegal activities.

By adding a Space, you represent, warrant and agree as follows:

  1. all information provided in connection with the Space Details is accurate, truthful, current, and complete;
  2. the applicable Space is fully insured for the purposes set out in the Space Details, and has been and will continue at all applicable times to be properly maintained and free of all safety hazards;
  3. your addition of the Space Details will not violate any agreements you have with third parties, any applicable Laws, or any other third party rights;
  4. you are, and will continue at all times while using the Services to be, compliant with all Applicable Laws, tax requirements, and any other rules, regulations, and agreements that may apply to the Space included in the Space Details (including applicable insurance policies and approved planning and land use laws); and
  5. you have the full right to list the Space for use by a Booking Creative for the purposes described in the Space Details, including (if you are not the landowner/feeholder), having obtained permission in writing from your landlord, any superior landlords and the feeholder of the relevant Space and/or such permission as may otherwise be required by the terms of your occupation/use of the Space. Studios may edit the details of or remove their Space(s) in the Applications at any time prior to a Studio confirming the Booking of a Space. If SpaceforArts chooses to remove details of a Space, it has the right but not the obligation to remove such details at its sole discretion, at any time and without needing to give notice.

Studios must list a day rate for Spaces (defined as 10 hours).

Booking and Confirming Spaces

As a Booking Creative, you may issue a Booking Request for a Space through the Services by selecting the desired Booking date(s), and by also submitting your payment information by connecting your Stripe account to your SpaceforArts account. By booking a Space using the Service, you represent, warrant and agree as follows:

  1. any payment information you supply is true and complete;
  2. charges incurred by you will be honored by payment through your Stripe account, and there are sufficient funds to honor the total transaction amount;
  3. that you will pay the stated price due for the Space (“Transaction Amount”) and any applicable taxes, even if you are unable to use the Space during the time reserved;
  4. that you will not make any alteration in, or permit any alteration to be made to, any Space; and
  5. that subject to your having been notified by the Studio of the approved planning use for the Space and any formal regulations applicable to the use of the Space, you are, and will continue at all times while using the Services and the Space to be, compliant with all applicable Laws, tax requirements, any other rules, regulations, and agreements that may apply to the Space included in the Space Details (including applicable insurance policies) and any house rules published by the Studio, and that you agree to any terms and conditions set out in the Space Details.

As a Studio, you will confirm any reserved Spaces within three calendar days of the Booking Request, or the Booking will be automatically declined. The Studio may not change any terms set forth in the Space Details after confirming a Booking Request from the Booking Creative who has reserved a Space on the basis of the previously published Space Details, including any prices or payment terms. After the Studio has confirmed a Booking, then the Booking Creative will be charged the full Transaction Amount through Stripe, plus the “Transaction Fee” defined below. SpaceforArts charges a 10% fee (the “SFA Fee”) on the full Transaction Amount. Stripe charges a 3% fee on the Transaction Amount (the “Transaction Fee”) on all transactions.

SpaceforArts reserves the right to terminate a Studio for any two or more failures to timely confirm a reservation. SpaceforArts reserves the right to terminate a Booking Creative for any chargeback or declined payment authorization.

Unless otherwise stated in the Space Details, the start and end time of each Booking is inclusive of all setup time as well as tear down or cleanup time.

Required Insurance

As a Booking Creative, once you book a Space you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any people or property associated with the Space for the activities that you will conduct. As a Studio, you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any people or property associated with the use of the Space by the Booking Creative.

SPACEFORARTS:

Each Studio, Booking Creative and any other user of the Services is solely responsible for selecting, obtaining and understanding its required insurance and assuring that such insurance is adequate to protect the User and any other person who uses the Services.

Processing Payments

Payment processing services for Users are provided by Stripe and 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 or continuing to operate a SpaceforArts account, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of SpaceforArts enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide SpaceforArts accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize SpaceforArts to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

Taxes

Taxes on Transactions Concerning Studios and Booking Creatives

As a User, you are solely responsible for all taxes under applicable Law with respect to your transactions hereunder including, without limitation, any value added taxes, and sales and use taxes imposed with respect to any transactions, as well as income and/or corporation and/or local taxes and/or other taxes payable in relation to such transactions. SpaceforArts may not, and does not, offer any Tax-related guidance to Users of the Services. The Studio shall be responsible for ensuring that the Transaction Amount is sufficient to cover all applicable Taxes, fees or other amounts assessed or imposed by any governmental (including local governmental) authority, which may be imposed on the Studio in relation to or arising out of the transaction payment.

Taxes on Transactions with SpaceforArts

Unless otherwise specified, the SFA Fee due SpaceforArts is exclusive of taxes, fees or other amounts assessed or imposed by any governmental authority (other than taxes imposed on SpaceforArts net income). You will pay or reimburse SpaceforArts for all such taxes, fees or other amounts attributable to you immediately upon demand or provide certificates or other evidence of exemption.

CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY

CANCELLATIONS BY BOOKING CREATIVES

After a Booking is confirmed by a Studio, if the Booking Creative cancels the Booking earlier than five (5) days in advance of the Booking start time, the Booking Creative will be liable for a Cancellation Fee equal to 10% of the Transaction Amount plus the SFA Fee and the Transaction Fee.  The Booking Creative must notify SpaceforArts at help@spaceforarts.com of such cancellation within three (3) calendar days after such cancellation to request a refund of the balance of any Transaction Amount paid by the Booking Creative for the cancelled booking, less the amounts for which the Booking Creative is liable. In such case, the Studio will promptly refund the Booking Creative the Transaction Amount received from the Booking Creative for the cancelled Booking, less the Cancellation Fee and SFA Fee.

CANCELLATION FIVE CALENDAR DAYS OR FEWER BEFORE BOOKING START TIME. Any Booking cancelled by a Booking Creative later than five (5) calendar days prior to the start of the Booking start time is non-refundable and the Booking Creative will be charged the entire Transaction Amount and the Transaction Fee. In such case, the Studio will keep the entire Transaction Amount less the SFA Fee, and SpaceforArts will retain its SFA Fee.

CANCELLATIONS BY STUDIOS

As a Studio, you may reject a Booking request from a Booking Creative, in which case the Booking Creative will not be liable for payment for such Booking. If a Studio fails to confirm a Booking request from a Booking Creative within 3 calendar days, the transaction will be cancelled, in which case the Booking Creative will not be liable for payment for such Booking.

The cancellation of a confirmed Booking by a Studio requires intensive logistical support and can impact the high standard of service by which SpaceforArts’ marketplace operates. As such, in the event of any cancellation of a confirmed Booking by a Studio, SpaceforArts reserves the right to impose penalties on the Studio’s account, including publishing an automated review indicating a cancelled Booking, and suspending or terminating the Studio’s account.

A cancellation of a confirmed Booking by a Studio must be made with at least seven calendar days’ notice to the Booking Creative and SpaceforArts. If such notice is given by the Studio, the Studio shall refund to the Booking Creative all amounts paid by the Booking Creative for the Booking, including the Transaction Fee and SpaceforArts will return any SFA Fee paid on such transaction.

If a Studio cancels a confirmed Booking and gives notice of cancellation later than seven days prior to the Booking start time, then the Studio shall refund to the Booking Creative all amounts paid for the Booking, including the Transaction Fee, and shall also be liable for the SFA Fee.

General

SpaceforArts reserves the right to make adjustments to its cancellation and refund policy from time to time in accordance with the notice provisions for changes set out in this Agreement.

Overtime

In the event a Booking Creative occupies a Space, or causes a Space to be occupied by anyone or anything, in excess of the time specified in the applicable Booking, the Booking Creative will be subject to additional charges as set out in the relevant Space Details (“Overtime Charges”). If a Booking Creative has stayed beyond the time of his or her or its Booking, the Studio must notify the SpaceforArts team via email at support@spaceforarts.com within three (3) business days after the Booking Creative has discontinued use of the Space and relate the circumstances of the Booking Creative’s use of the space under the Booking, including the name of the Booking Creative, any relevant and then-applicable Space Details, the date and time of the agreed-upon Booking as well as the time by which the Booking Creative overstayed the Booking. Failure by a Studio to comply with the preceding sentence will result in the claim for Overtime Charges being forfeited. If the Studio provides timely notice hereunder, the Booking Creative will be liable for Overtime Charges stated in the Space Details, which shall be payable by the Booking Creative to the Studio, and may be charged to the Booking Creative’s Stripe account, within seven business days after the Studio’s notice to SpaceforArts.

Damages

As a Booking Creative, you are solely responsible for

  1. leaving each Space and any property provided in the condition it was provided to you;
  2. your own acts and omissions, and the acts and omissions of your guests and invitees, with respect to each Space you Book;
  3. paying the Studio in full to repair or replace any damage that occurred while you or your guests or invitees were using a Space.

As a Studio, you must contact SpaceforArts within three business days at support@spaceforarts.com in the event of any alleged damage by a Booking Creative and provide evidence (including, without limitation, a walkthrough report and photographs or video or other physical or documentary evidence) of such damage and reasonable estimates to repair such damage or replace damaged property. SpaceforArts will contact the Booking Creative regarding the claimed damage and, as a Booking Creative, you must respond to any such claim within three business days. In the event a timely claim is made, SpaceforArts will work to resolve the dispute. The Booking Creative will be responsible for payment to the Studio for any and all damage. SpaceforArts reserves the right, without the obligation, to suspend or terminate any Studio’s right to use the Services in the event the Studio fails to communicate in a timely manner regarding any damage to any Space or provides any false or misleading information with respect to such damage, or to suspend or terminate any Booking Creative’s right to use the Services in the event the Booking Creative fails to reimburse the Studio for any damage caused by the Booking Creative. SpaceforArts has no obligation to any Studio to reimburse for any property damage, injury, or other liability resulting from or caused by the Booking Creative or the Booking Creative’s guests or invitees, or for any other reason.

Inappropriate Conduct

If you, as a Studio, permit a Booking Creative to use a Space or, as a Booking Creative, make use of a Studio’s Space and thereby become aware that such other User has engaged in inappropriate or illegal behavior (such as committing an act of violence or theft), you must immediately report the User to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. In addition, you must notify SpaceforArts immediately at support@spaceforarts.com. Although SpaceforArts reserves the right to terminate the accounts of any such User, your notice will not obligate us to take any action beyond that required by law or otherwise cause us to incur any liability to you, any other User, or any third party.

Dispute

If a dispute arises between a Studio and a Booking Creative following the confirmation of a Space reservation, which dispute the claiming party would like SpaceforArts to investigate, the claiming party must notify SpaceforArts at help@spaceforarts.com within three business days of the alleged disputed incident and detail the circumstances of such disputed incident and provide all available documentation including, without limitation, a walkthrough report and photographs or video or other physical or documentary evidence concerning the dispute. SpaceforArts shall have no obligation to take any action on any disputes submitted after such three-day period. If SpaceforArts receives timely notification of a dispute, SpaceforArts will make commercially reasonable efforts to review the dispute, independently contact the Studio and Booking Creative to investigate the dispute, and if warranted, mediate the dispute and try to resolve the matter quickly and amicably.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND SPACEFORARTS TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH BOTH PARTIES CAN SEEK RELIEF. You and SpaceforArts agree to arbitrate any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or related to this Agreement or the Services, except that neither you nor SpaceforArts is required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU AND SPACEFORARTS FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and SpaceforArts agree as follows:

  1. you will each notify each other of any dispute within 30 days of when it arises and attempt informal resolution before any demand for arbitration;
  2. any arbitration will occur BOSTON, MA, U.S.A.; and
  3. arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS (or its successor or a similar organization if JAMS is not available). The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. Except as expressly provided herein, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law, and the award and determination of the arbitrator will be binding upon the parties and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will equally share the fees and expenses of the arbitrator unless the arbitrator determines to apportion fees and expenses differently. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE APPLICATIONS, AND NEITHER YOU NOR SPACEFORARTS will commence against the other a class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“opt out”) by sending SpaceforArts a written opt-out notice (the “Opt-Out Notice”) to support@spaceforarts.com within 30 days after the date you accept this Agreement for the first time. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number, and email address. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply.

Class Action Waiver

Any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and SpaceforArts agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Termination/Access Restriction/Miscellaneous

SpaceforArts reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Site and the related services or any portion thereof at any time, without notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and you hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of courts in Massachusetts in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation, this section.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and SpaceforArts as a result of this agreement or use of the Site. SpaceforArts’ performance of this agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this agreement is in derogation of SpaceforArts’ right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by SpaceforArts with respect to such use. If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.

Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the User and SpaceforArts with respect to the Site and Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the User and SpaceforArts with respect to the Site and Services. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. It is the express wish to the parties that this agreement and all related documents be written in English.
