Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 15, 2022

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS UNLESS YOU OPT OUT, AS DETAILED IN THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION 9 BELOW. THIS SECTION, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRES YOU AND SPOT TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

These Spot User Terms of Service (the “User Terms”) govern your access to or use of the online and hybrid office space platform and services generally described at www.Spotvirtual.com and its associated services (online and offline), products, software, mobile applications, information, networks, distribution channels, components, APIs, and documentation (”Services”) offered or made available by Spot.xyz Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, or its parents, subsidiaries, and corporate affiliates (“Spot” "we" "us" or “our").

These User Terms and the Community Guidelines incorporated herein by reference, form a legally binding contract between you and us.

Review the Spot Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use of our services and products.

1. Who these terms apply to - read carefully!

You are subject to these User Terms (a “User”) if:

  • you are a “Guest” which is defined as any individual or entity that signs up for, or accesses a Spot account, or who attends, participates in, or interacts at, an Space. Examples include without limitation, individual Space attendees and speakers; or
  • you are a “Team Member” which is defined as any individual or entity that is affiliated with the Host (see below) and that uses or accesses the Services in any way. Examples include without limitation, Space managers, agencies, consultants, contractors (such as for A/V services), sponsors, and exhibitors.

The term “Host” refers to the company, entity, institution, organization, or individual who is the public facing “brand” of the virtual or hybrid office space (“Space”). A Host could be a company such as Jane Doe Corporation (fictional name), or an individual such as Jane Doe (also fictional).

If the Host enters into customer terms with Spot or other Spot customer agreement (including agreements provided to the Host via a referral partner), it is a direct customer of Spot.

If the Host is not a direct customer of Spot, it typically means that the Host acquired the right to use the Services via a third-party reseller or agency, in which case the Host’s use of the Services are governed by its agreement with that reseller or agency.

In each case above, the Host is subject to those separate customer and/or reseller or agency terms, and the Host’s Guests and Team Members are subject to these User Terms; provided however that if you are the individual who is both the Host and the named Spot account holder, these User Terms also apply to your use of the account and Services in your capacity as a Team Member.

1.1 Spot’s role

Spaces are organized and administered by the Host, not Spot. We are a third party providing the Services and its incorporated technology platforms (the “Platform”) to facilitate Spot Spaces taking place. For the purpose of this Agreement, the Services includes the Platform.

We are not responsible and cannot be held liable for any matters described in the Host Responsibility section (below).

1.2 Host’s responsibilities

The Host has full control over the running of any Space. This includes the member list, Guest list, invitee list, when Spaces are created and how they are configured, and what functionality and third-party integrations are available for use at each Space.

The Host is solely responsible:

  • if a Space is cancelled;
  • for how a Space is run;
  • for ticket and merchandise sales and donation handling;
  • for marketing activities related to the Space;
  • for promotions, contests, and sweepstakes offered in connection with the Space;
  • for informing Guests of any relevant policies and practices and securing agreements and consents with its Guests (e.g., marketing and personal data consents);
  • for any content produced or provided;
  • for any activities carried out in a Space; and
  • for monitoring and managing the conduct of Users.

Please contact the Host directly for any of the above matters. It is solely the Host’s responsibility to respond to and resolve any dispute between the Host and any Guest or Team Member. The Host may also block or revoke a User’s access to its Space at any time and in its sole discretion.

1.3 User Representation

In exchange for the benefits of the speedy, economical, and impartial dispute resolution procedure of arbitration, you and Spot mutually agree to give up our right to resolve disagreements in a court of law by a judge or jury, and, as described below, agree to binding and final arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.

You and Spot agree that this arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall survive even after these User Terms or any Services terminate.

9.3 Claims Covered by Arbitration

Other than the exceptions in Section 9.5, you and Spot agree that any disagreement, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these User Terms (including its enforcement, breach, performance, interpretation, validity, or termination), or your access to and/or use of the Spot services, or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the services (hereinafter, “Claims”), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration to the fullest extent allowed by law.

9.4 Delegation to Arbitrator

If there is a disagreement about the arbitrability of any Claim (including questions about the scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement), you and Spot agree that this threshold disagreement shall be delegated to the arbitrator (not a court) and that the arbitrator shall have initial authority to resolve such threshold disagreements.

9.5 Claims Not Covered by Arbitration

This arbitration agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims actions demanding $10,000 or less brought on an individual basis and within a small claims court’s jurisdiction; and (2) applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders, including those relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.  To the extent that either you or we elect to have a dispute resolved in small claims court after an arbitration is initiated, the party that initiated the arbitration agrees to dismiss or suspend the arbitration and seek to resolve the dispute in small claims court. You and we agree that any dispute regarding whether the dispute is properly within the jurisdiction of a small claims court shall be resolved by the small claims court in the first instance (unless it is unwilling to do so) and not the arbitrator or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including in the situation where an arbitration is already initiated and one party invokes the small claims court option.

9.6 Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and Spot agree to bring and resolve any Claims only on an individual basis, and not as a named-plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding. you and Spot acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or any other representative proceeding as to all Claims (hereinafter, “Class Action Waiver”). Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not preside over any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, unless you and Spot agree otherwise in writing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this arbitration agreement or the AAA Rules, specific disagreements about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of this Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If there is a final determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to certain claims brought on a class or representative basis, then those claims shall be severed from any remaining claims and may proceed in court, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to any remaining claims to the fullest extent possible.

9.7 Arbitration Rules, Procedures, and Costs

You and Spot agree that the arbitration shall be administered by the AAA before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA. The arbitrator will apply the terms of this arbitration agreement and the applicable AAA rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1–800–778–7879. If you are an individual person, the arbitrator shall apply the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are not an individual person, but are an entity or company, the arbitrator shall apply the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules.

If you are an individual person and bring a claim solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less: Spot will agree to pay for any filing, administrative, or hearing fees charged by the AAA. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, however, then the allocation of fees will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

If you are an individual person and bring a claim for monetary relief exceeding $10,000: The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules will govern payment of administrative or hearing fees charged by the AAA, including limiting your filing fee to $200. In addition, fee waivers or other forms of cost relief at the arbitrator’s discretion may be available. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, however, then the allocation of fees will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

If you are not an individual person: The AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules will govern payment of administrative or hearing fees charged by the AAA.

The arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions, including dispositive or summary judgment motions, brought by any party to the arbitration. The arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief, or outcome that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim, including awards of attorney’s fees and costs, in accordance with the law or laws that apply to the Claim. The arbitrator shall provide in writing to the parties the basis for any award or decision. Judgment upon any award rendered in such arbitration will be binding and may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction.

9.8 Severability

Except for the Class Action Waiver in Section 9.6 above, if any clause within this arbitration agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this arbitration agreement, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement will be given full force and effect.

9.9 Opt-out

If you are an individual person, you have the right to opt-out and not be bound by this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Spot—clearly indicating your intent to opt out of this arbitration agreement and including the name, phone number, and email address associated with your account—via email (legal@Spotvirtual.com). Your opt-out notice must be sent within 30 days of your agreement to these User Terms.

If you do not opt-out of this arbitration agreement within the 30-day period, you and Spot shall be bound by the terms of this arbitration agreement in full. If you opt-out of this arbitration agreement within the 30-day period, it will not affect any other, previous, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with Spot.

9.10 Pre-Arbitration Notification and Negotiation Process

Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Spot each agree to first attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any Claims covered in Section 9.2. This pre-arbitration negotiation shall be initiated by providing written notice to the other party—including a brief written statement describing the name, address, and contact information of the notifying party, the facts giving rise to the Claim, and the relief requested. You must send such written notice to Spot via email to legal@spotvirtual.com with “LEGAL NOTICE” in the subject line; Spot will send such written notice to the email address you have provided to Spot.

During this pre-arbitration negotiation, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties.

After a good faith effort to negotiate, if you or Spot believe a Claim covered in Section 9.2 cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
