3.1 The table below sets out the types of Workspace Listings, Marketplace transactions and payment models available on the Marketplace.

4. LISTING TYPES
4.1 The Platform enables You to list Workspace on the Marketplace under two listing types:
4.1.1 Quotable: a Workspace Listing which is not available to book online via the Marketplace but is available for Customers to submit Enquiries; and
4.1.2 Bookable: a Workspace Listing which is available for Customers to book via the Marketplace
4.2 By publishing Listings to the Marketplace, You acknowledge that Customers may submit Enquiries in respect of Quotable Workspaces and make Booking Requests in respect of Bookable Workspaces.
Terms applicable to all Listings
4.3 You warrant that: (a) You are authorised to list the Workspace on the Platform; (b) You are legally entitled to grant Workspace Agreements and Workspace Bookings; (c) each Workspace may lawfully be accessed and used by a Customer, and there are no restrictions that would prevent, or restrict a Customer's ability to access and use the Workspace in accordance with the terms of their applicable Workspace Agreement or Workspace Booking; (d) the Workspace Fees included in the Listing reflect the same price that You offer to customers who approach You directly to book or enquire about Your Workspace; and (e) any consent, or agreement of any third party (including in respect of any landlord or superior leaseholder) required in order for a Customer to access and use the Workspace have been obtained, and will be maintained for the duration of the Workspace Agreements and Workspace Bookings.
You agree that We may market all Workspaces on partner and affiliate websites that market office space to potential office users. We are not responsible for the content, availability, functionality or performance of any third party websites.
You acknowledge and agree that in providing the Platform, We are acting as an intermediary providing promotion, lead generation and booking services for listed Workspaces. We (or Our Personnel) cannot be held liable and You release us of any liability for any failure of a Customer to comply with the terms of their Workspace Agreement or Workspace Booking. We will however provide such support and assistance as We determine is reasonable in respect of Your enforcement of the terms of any Workspace Agreement or Workspace Booking relating to non-compliance by a Customer, where You would not be able to enforce such terms without Us or Our support or assistance.

For clarity, in such case: (i) these Terms shall terminate and cease to apply in respect of any Workspace Agreements that are not Continuing Agreements; (ii) any Worka Fees shall continue to be due to Us from You in respect of any Introductions made by Us during the term of these Terms that result in a Workspace Agreement that is subject to the Off Platform Payment model; (iii) We shall not have any obligation to generate leads, refer Enquiries to You, conclude Workspace Bookings or otherwise perform any of our other obligations hereunder; and (iv) no further Workspace Agreements subject to the Monthly Payment model or Workspace Bookings may be entered into or agreed following the date of such termination notice.
15.2 Termination for Cause. If these Terms are terminated by Us for cause (being any reason other than for convenience pursuant to Section 15.1 above, upon Us giving You Legal Notice): (i) if at the time of such termination there are any Workspace Agreements subject to the Monthly Payment model in force or booked but which have not yet commenced, We shall have the right to cease to act as Your payment collection agent under Section 7.2 and You shall make alternative arrangements with the relevant Customer in respect of the relevant Workspace Agreement; (ii) if at the time of such termination there are any Workspace Bookings in force or booked but which have not yet commenced, We shall have the right to terminate such Workspace Bookings; (iii) any Worka Fees shall continue to be due to Us from You in respect of any Introductions made by Us during the term of these Terms that result in a Workspace Agreement that is subject to the Off Platform Payment model; (iv) We shall not have any obligation to generate leads, refer Enquiries to You, conclude Workspace Bookings or otherwise perform any of our other obligations hereunder; and (v) no further Workspace Agreements subject to the Monthly Payment model or Workspace Bookings may be entered into or agreed following the date of such termination notice.
15.3 Suspension. We shall have the right on immediate Legal Notice to You to suspend the performance of any or all of Our obligations under these Terms (including to cease acting as Your agent pursuant to Section 7) (in whole, or in part (including in relation to individual Workspace(s)) if: (i) You are in breach of Your obligations to Us as regards any payment provisions; (ii) You are in breach of Section 7.4; (iii) We receive any claim or allegation that any of the Content or Partner Data infringes on the rights (including the Intellectual Property Rights) of any third party; (iv) continued performance of any of Our obligations under or in connection with these Terms would or may result in Us being in breach of any requirements under applicable law; or (v) in the event of a Workspace Transfer (as defined below). If We suspend the performance of Our obligations as regards acting as Your payment collection agent under Section 7.2, We shall have the right to terminate any Workspace Booking which requires Us to act in such role.
15.4 Termination due to Workspace Transfer. Nothing in these Terms is intended to prevent or restrict Your ability to sell or transfer any interest or rights You have in any Workspace (whether freehold ownership or leasehold rights) to any third party new owner(s) (a "Workspace Transfer"), which You reserve the right to do at Your discretion. However, You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Workspace Transfer, We may not be able to continue to perform Our obligations in respect of any Workspace Agreement subject to the Monthly Payment model or Workspace Booking for the relevant Workspace (as We will not have the required contractual relationship with the new owner(s) and such new owner(s) will not have undergone Our Workspace provider onboarding process) and accordingly these Terms will cease to apply in relation to such Workspace on such event (and in total, if the Workspace Transfer relates to all Workspaces You have listed on the Platform). We shall endeavour to assist with the transition of these Terms to the new owner(s) of the relevant Workspace subject to the Workspace Transfer such that any then-current bookings You have via the Platform can be retained and transferred to the new owner(s), and accordingly, You acknowledge and agree that: (i) You shall promptly inform us upon the event of a Workspace Transfer; and (ii) We shall have the right to retain and use any Partner Data for the purposes of a smooth transition and onboarding of the new owner(s). If You have other Workspaces listed on the Platform that are not subject to the Workspace Transfer, these Terms shall continue in force in relation to those other Workspaces.
15.5 Consequences of Termination. On termination of these Terms for any reason, subject to the continuation of these Terms pursuant to Section 15.1:
15.5.1 We may immediately end Your use of and access to the Platform;
15.5.2 each party shall return or destroy, and (in each case) make no further use of any materials and other items (and all copies of them) belonging to the other party, including the other party's Confidential Information (except that We may retain: (i) Partner Data in accordance with Section 15.4 above; (ii) any personal data in accordance with the terms of Schedule 2 and Our Privacy Policy; and (iii) reasonable professional records of Your use of the Platform (including Content and Confidential Information) for the purposes of internal audit, litigation and/or to comply with applicable laws);

- in complying with obligations or requests imposed by any competent supervisory authority or regulator;
implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure, such measures to be appropriate to the harm which might result from any unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage or theft of the personal data and having regard to the nature of the personal data which is to be protected. These measures are set out in Section 3 of this Schedule;
have in place a contract with any service provider or sub-contractor that contains terms which are substantially similar to those in this Schedule and as are required by CCPA and, for the avoidance of doubt, where such service provider or sub-contractor fails to fulfil its obligations under the contract or CCPA, We will remain fully liable to You for the fulfilment of those obligations;

ensure that personnel required to access the personal data are under a binding duty of confidentiality in respect of such personal data;

You acknowledge that access to a service provider’s or sub-contractor’s premises or to information about a service provider’s or sub-contractor’s previous independent audit reports is subject to agreement from the relevant sub-processor, and that We cannot guarantee access to that sub-processor's premises or audit information at any particular time, or at all.
