Welcome to Venopi. We've developed an online marketplace to help you find great spaces and host exceptional events. We tried to make this Services Agreement easy to read and understand. Please take time to read it carefully as it governs your use of our platform to book and list spaces and services.

Importantly, this Agreement contains waivers of class actions and jury trials and an agreement to submit all claims and disputes to binding arbitration in Section 4 below. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Services Agreement, including those governing disputes in Section 4, you may not use our platform or services.

Services Agreement

This Venopi Services Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between Venopi, Inc. ("Venopi" or "we") and the person or entity that registered with Venopi ("user" or "you"). This Agreement describes the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Venopi marketplace to book or list spaces or other services through our website or web-app and governs your hosting spaces for other users; and establishes the obligations owed between you and Venopi, and between you and other users.

Throughout this Agreement, the term "Service" means the service allowing you to book spaces and services through our website or web-app (the "Platform"). The term Service does not include any services provided by third parties. The terms "Guest" and "Host" refer to the party Booking or Listing a Space, respectively.

A "Space" is the location or site that is made available to a Guest to use during specific times for a specific purpose (an "Event"), and subject to specific Fees and any site-specific terms or limitations. A Host may "List" a Space by providing certain details about the Space including availability, pricing, and terms or limitations of use; this posting about a Space is called a "Listing."

A Guest may "Book" a Space or Vendor Services by accepting the times, fees, and any additional terms (such as fees for Vendor Services) or limitations of the Listing. A "Booking" is (i) only the grant of a limited, temporary, revocable license to use a Space, and (ii) if applicable, a contract for Vendor Services, in the manner, for the time, and subject to all restrictions provided, subject to this Agreement, and as confirmed through the Platform. The scope of the use—including times, specific fees, and other additional terms or limitations—may also be included in or supplemented by a separate "Booking Agreement" that incorporates the terms and conditions of this Agreement and referenced policies. A Booking does not provide you a lease but only allows you limited access to use the Space or other service only as permitted in the Agreement and, as applicable, the Booking Agreement.

This Agreement is organized into 5 sections:

Section 1: General Terms includes general terms describing your Account including creating an account, accepting or making payments, and describing how we communicate with you.

Section 2: Platform and Service describes how you may and may not use the Platform and Service, and also describes how we use any data.

Section 3: Venopi Services establishes the obligations of Hosts, including how to List a Space and what is expected of any Space Listed through the Service; and the obligations of Guests, including Booking a Space, expected behavior, responsibility for payment of Fees, and Booking other services.

Section 4: Termination, Disputes, and Binding Arbitration describes termination or suspension of this Agreement or your Account, and the process of resolving any disputes. This section contains waivers of both class actions and jury trials, and an agreement to submit all claims and disputes to binding arbitration. Please read this section carefully before accepting this Agreement –you may not use the Platform or Services if you do not agree to this section.

Section 5: Additional Legal Terms provides additional legal terms including our ability to update this Agreement, disclaimers and limitations on our liability, and some specific terms for users outside of the United States. It also includes other documents governing your use of the Services including our Community Standards, Fees Overview, Privacy Policy, and Cancellation and Refund Policy.

If you have questions about this Agreement, please contact us. Your use of the Platform or Services constitutes your ongoing acceptance of this Agreement, as amended.

We are continuously improving the Platform or Service for all users and reserve the right to make changes in our discretion. Changes we make to the Platform or Service, including discontinuing certain features, affect all users and we try to minimize disruption to users. However, these changes may affect users differently. We are not responsible if any specific changes we make to the Platform or Service adversely affect how you use them.

1.2 Your Account

Before using the Platform or Services, you must create an account with Venopi ("Account") and provide us with information about yourself or your company. We may ask that you update your Account or provide additional or different information at any time. This includes requiring additional details about Spaces or payment information. Any employees, contractors, or third-parties opening a new or using an existing account (collectively, "Agents") represent and warrant that they have authorization to act on behalf of a person or entity they claim to represent; and if such authorization is not provided by the person or entity, such Agents acknowledge personal liability for all obligations and liabilities arising from or related to use of the Account by such Agents.

You are responsible for any actions taken on your Account using your Credentials whether or not authorized or taken by Agents to List or Book a Space or Vendor Service. You are solely responsible for the actions or communications of your Agents. We are not responsible for and disclaim all liability for use of your Account by your Agents.

When creating or using your Account, you may be required to provide information about yourself or your Space, or provide optional information or comment on other users' Spaces or Vendor Services including text, images, or videos (collectively, "Content"). You will only provide Content to us that you own or have authorization to provide, and ensure that Content is accurate and complete. You must keep any Content current, including your contact or payment information. We reserve the right, but shall not be obligated, to use public and private data sources to validate the accuracy of any Content. This may include validating your identity or business information, or verifying information about Spaces. You will provide us any additional information to verify the accuracy or completeness of any Content that you provide and we may condition your use of the Platform or Service on our ability to verify the accuracy and completeness of this Content. If you do not provide required Content to us as and when we request it, we may suspend or terminate your Account.

While we may provide information to help you understand certain obligations of using or Hosting Spaces, we are not authorized to provide and do not provide any legal advice. You are solely responsible for your compliance with Laws and may only use the Platform or Service in compliance with applicable Laws. If you are unsure how to comply with Laws, you should seek legal advice related to Listing or Booking a Space.

1.4 Fees and Taxes

(a) Fees, Overtime, and Deposits. You are responsible for payment of fees, expenses, and other amounts related a to Booking ("Fees"). Fees include amounts paid to Venopi, Hosts, and Vendors and as described in more detail on our Fees Overview. Venopi receives Fees for providing use of the Service and Concierge Services, and Hosts and Vendors receive Fees for Bookings. The specific Fees charged are presented when you complete, update, or cancel a Booking. Please review all Fees before completing a Booking to make sure you understand the Fees for the Booking, including our Cancellation and Refund Policy. You should contact Hosts or Vendors through the Platform before Booking if you don't understand the Fees listed. Please contact us if you have any questions about Fees or our Cancellation and Refund Policy.

A Booking provides a limited use of a Space or Vendor Service as described in the Listing and Booking Agreement, if applicable. If you use a Space or Vendor Service beyond the Booking you will be responsible for payment of additional Fees ("Additional Fees") as described on the Fees Overview. We may calculate the Additional Fees based on your exceeding the time (for example, a calculated hourly rate billed in 1 hour increments) or other costs associated with your exceeding the permitted usage of the Booking (for example, exceeding the number of Event attendees). You are solely responsible for any damage done to the Space or the Amenities by anyone attending or working at your Event. Hosts must notify us within 3 days of a Guest exceeding the permitted use of the Space and specifically request payment of Additional Fees. Any dispute regarding Additional Fees will be resolved as described in Section 4.3.

Certain Bookings may require you to provide a portion of prepaid Fees or a refundable amount ("Deposit") in advance. All Fees and Deposits, as applicable, will be identified prior to completing your Booking. If held by Venopi, at our option, Deposits may be credited to your Booking or returned when the Space is returned in acceptable condition and free of any material damage.

While we may facilitate the collection of Fees and Deposits for Hosts, once remitted to Hosts, we are not responsible for the return of Fees or Deposits to Guests, where applicable.

(b) Taxes and Fines. You are solely responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, penalties, and other costs imposed by any taxing authority or government agency related to Listing or Booking Spaces or Vendor Services including any sales or occupancy tax, indirect taxes such as valued added tax (VAT) or goods and services tax (GST), usage or permitting fees, duties, and other taxes imposed by municipalities, states, or governments through regulation, ordinance, law, or judicial or regulatory interpretation (collectively "Taxes"). Except as required by Law, Venopi will not calculate, track or pay Taxes or submit Tax reporting on your behalf. You are responsible for all Taxes owed for Booking or Listing a Space, or providing or using Vendor Services including, without limitation, accurate calculation of Taxes due, timely remittance of Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and maintenance of any required records and accounts.

You are also responsible for any penalties arising from your failing to comply with this Agreement including those issued by regulatory or taxing authorities, law enforcement, fire code or safety agencies, or other third parties; or that may be issued by us for losses we or users incur that are based on your failing to comply with this Agreement or misuse of the Platform, Services, Space, or Vendor Services (collectively, "Fines").

(c) Payment. You will timely and fully pay any Fees, Deposits, Taxes, Fines, or other amounts you owe under this Agreement. If you owe amounts and we are unable to receive payment through the Platform for any reason, then we may require that you pay through other means (such as direct debit or wire transfer). We may set-off any amounts owed to us through collection of funds that would otherwise be payable to you through the Platform. You are responsible for any costs or expenses associated with our recovering Fees, Taxes, or Fines owed, including our attorneys' fees or expenses. In our discretion, any late payments of more than 7 days may incur a late charge of up to ten percent (10%) and accumulate interest of ten percent (10%) per month until delinquency is resolved.

As a condition using Payment Processing, you must provide accurate and complete information about you and your business and you authorize us to share this information to Mollie. All bank and credit card information is sent directly to and stored with Mollie using their security protocols. Venopi does not store your payment information on its systems and shall not have any responsibility for the safety or security of that information. Your use of Payment Processing is conditioned upon your compliance with the Mollie Agreement, and if the Mollie Agreement is terminated by Mollie you may not be able to use the Platform, or have your Account suspended or terminated.

This includes details regarding use of any amenities, furniture, equipment, Host provided Vendor Services available at an additional charge, or fixtures that are part of or in the Space (collectively, "Amenities"). While it is important to communicate excitement and the benefits of your Space, the Description must be accurate and give potential Guests a reasonably good understanding of how they may use the Space for their Event.

3.2 Booking Spaces and Services - This section applies to Guests

Prior to Booking, you will need to provide payment information through the Platform. Booking Fees and any Deposit, if applicable, will be shown before you complete your Booking. You are responsible for all Fees and Taxes associated with the Booking. All Bookings are subject to our Cancellation and Refund Policy.

When you Book a Space, you are only provided a license to use the Space as described in the Booking and confirmed by the Host, subject to this Agreement and any Booking Agreement. A Booking does not provide you a lease or access or use of the Space beyond the specified time and Description.

(b) Conduct and Fees. You will comply with the Community Standards and any Booking Agreements throughout the Booking and use the Space or Vendor Service only as permitted or agreed upon and consistent with the Description, and assure that any attendees do the same.

3.3 Required and Supplemental Insurance

(a) Required Insurance. Every user will acquire and maintain all insurance as required by Law and suitable for you or your business. You are solely responsible for understanding and evaluating what insurance is appropriate to cover damage, loss, injury, legal liability, and other harm specific to you, your business, those attending the Event, third parties, the Space or Amenities, and deciding what coverage, limits and providers are appropriate for you.

We may, but are not required to, offer you the option to buy certain insurance provided through third parties for your Event through the Platform or Concierge Services. We cannot assure and expressly disclaim (i) any liability to you or third parties that any insurance offered or acquired to you through the Platform will appropriately cover or mitigate risks to you, your business, those attending the Event, third parties, the Space or Amenities, or (ii) endorsement of the quality, character or financial capacity of any insurance company offering insurance products through the Platform or Concierge Services.

(b) Supplemental Insurance. Venopi may, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain supplemental insurance policies providing limited supplemental protection of Hosts against liability to Guests, Event attendees or third parties for personal injury or property damage sustained by Guests, Event attendees or third parties (a "Host Policy"). Where we elect to provide a Host Policy, this does not cover damage to the Space or Amenities and does not eliminate or reduce your obligation to maintain insurance as provided in Section 3.3(a). Further, where provided, recovery under a Host Policy will be (i) available only where a Host fully complies with this Agreement, (ii) supplemental to any insurance maintained by Hosts, (iii) limited to the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the Host Policy, (iv) subject to the then applicable claims procedure established by Venopi and the issuer of the Host Policy, and (v) subject to a Host promptly notifying the Venopi support team of any potential claims.

3.4 Listing or Booking Agents - This section applies to Agents that List or Book Spaces on behalf of users

Except where agreed upon in writing by Venopi, if you List or Book as an Agent, you are directly responsible for complying with, and causing the user to comply with, the terms of this Agreement and any Booking Agreement. This includes the obligations stated in Sections 3.1 (for Hosts) and 3.2 (for Guests). In addition, upon our request, you will provide authorization from the party that you represent as Agent.

3.5 Vendor Services

You may have the ability to Book Vendor Services as part of your Booking or Event. Vendors are independent third-party contractors and are not affiliated with or under the control of Venopi. Hosts may also provide Vendor Services that can be Booked in addition to their Space. Vendor Services may be available to Book through the Platform or we may help you do so through Concierge Services. You understand that Vendor Services are provided by Vendors and not Venopi. We are not responsible for and disclaim all responsibility for and liability resulting from Vendors' actions or failure to act, for the nature or quality of any Vendor Services, and for any loss or injury you or others sustain arising out of or related to Vendor Services. You acknowledge that Venopi may be paid compensation by one or more Vendors in connection with a Booking of Vendor Services.

3.6 Concierge Services

We provide Concierge Services to help you coordinate Bookings of non-Host provided Vendor Services for your Booking or Event. Concierge Services may not be available in every city or region and we cannot guarantee that there will be Concierge Services available for specific Spaces or Concierge Services to fit your specific needs. Where provided, we will work with you to establish a budget and other requirements for your Booking that includes Concierge Services. We will try to identify Spaces or Concierge Services that meet those requirements and will submit any proposals to you for review and acceptance. If accepted, we will coordinate any communication and payments between you and the Host or Vendors resulting from the Concierge Services. When Concierge Services are added to your Booking, we will charge additional Fees for use of Concierge Services. You remain obligated to pay us any Fees for Concierge Services even if Vendor Services (other than Host provided Vendor Services) are confirmed or paid for outside the Platform.

As with all Bookings, Venopi is not responsible for and expressly disclaims all liability for Hosts' or Vendors' actions or failure to act, and for any loss or injury you or others sustain arising out of or related to Vendor Services.

All cancellations and any refunds that may be available to you are subject to our Fees Overview and Cancellation and Refund Policy.

4.2 Binding Arbitration

This section describes how disputes or claims arising under this Agreement between you and Venopi or between you and another user (not resolved through the process set forth in Section 4.3) will be resolved. It includes waivers to both a jury trial and your ability to join other plaintiffs as part of a class action. Please read this section carefully before accepting this Agreement—you may not use the Platform or Services if you do not agree to this section.

(a) Process for Arbitration. Subject to the exclusions provided in Section 4.2(b) and the process provided in Section 4.3, all disputes, claims, and controversies arising under or related to this Agreement between you and Venopi or between you and another user (if not resolved pursuant to Section 4.3 below) will be resolved through binding arbitration as follows:

(i) if the amount of the dispute, claim, or controversy is reasonably less than € 5.000 resolution shall be administered by an online arbitration provider of our choosing in accordance with their applicable arbitration rules and procedures effective at the time a claim is made. You consent to receive electronic service of process at the email associated with your Account. Where you are delinquent in responding to such process, you will be responsible for any attorney, court, or other fees associated with the delinquency. The party filing the User Dispute will be responsible for payment of any costs associated with that filing, including costs borne by Venopi. As a part of the User Dispute, you may also seek to recover these costs if you prevail.

(ii) if the amount of the dispute, claim or controversy is reasonably € 5.000 or more, resolution shall be before a single arbitrator and administered by a Mediation, Arbitration, ADR Services of our choosing. This includes but is not limited to any statutory or common law claims relating to breach, enforcement, or interpretation of this Agreement and any Booking Agreement. Any such arbitration will take place in the county where the Booked or Listed Space is located, unless you and Venopi mutually agree otherwise. The arbitrator will apply the substantive Laws of The Netherlands. All claims shall be subject to the our selected Mediation, Arbitration, ADR Services Streamlined Arbitration Rules. To initiate such an arbitration, a party will provide a written demand that states both the basis of the claim and the desired relief. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters, registered address, or primary address (for individuals or sole proprietors). Nothing in this Agreement affects the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Once arbitration is initiated as provided in Subsections (i) or (ii) above, the parties will share the costs of the arbitration, facilities, and arbitration reporters (as necessary) equally except as otherwise determined by the arbitrator. Each party will be responsible for its own attorneys' fees and legal costs. The arbitrator may award the prevailing party recovery of any of the costs of arbitration or legal fees as they see appropriate.

The arbitrator may provide for any monetary or other remedies that are available under applicable Law but may not modify the terms of this Agreement or any Booking Agreement. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned decision addressing the specifics of the dispute. The decision is binding and not subject to appeal. The parties will act promptly to respect the decision of the arbitrator, including payment of any amounts owed or taking of any action required.

Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(b) Certain Claims Excluded. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), the parties agree that any claims based on ownership or misuse of the other party's intellectual property—including patents, copyrights, or trademarks—may be brought before the state or Federal courts located in San Francisco, California. Either party may also seek provisional remedies for injunctive relief under such claims from a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Class Action and Jury Waiver. Each party agrees that any action or claim arising from or related to this Agreement or any Booking Agreement may only be brought on an individual basis and not part of a class action or consolidated arbitration, or join claims with other users or third parties. Further, each party expressly waives its right to a jury in arbitration and court, where permitted. You may opt-out of this class action and jury waiver described in Section 4.2(c) by emailing us at optout@Venopi.com within 30 days of your first use of the Platform or Services. You must include your name, phone number, physical address, and email address in your opt-out notice. This is your only mechanism for opting out of this Section 4.2(c) and failure to do so as described constitutes your consent to this waiver. If you choose to opt out of this Section 4.2(c), please note that all other provisions in this Agreement will remain intact and in full force and effect.

(d) Conflict of Rules. If any provision of this Section 4.2 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the reviewing court or arbitrator, as applicable, will interpret or revise the provisions only as minimally necessary to comply with Law. All the other provisions will remain enforceable and intact as written.

As a part of the User Dispute, you may also seek to recover these costs if you prevail. Any payments held by Venopi pending final resolution of a User Dispute shall be disbursed by Venopi as determined by Venopi, the arbitrator, or a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) User Disputes Under €25,000. After following the process outlined above, if the User Dispute relates to an amount reasonably less than €25,000, you agree to submit the User Dispute to binding arbitration as provided in Section 4.2(a)(i) above.
