Virtual Office, Day Office and Coworking Terms of Service

Welcome to Ripple Coworking! This agreement (the “Agreement”) describes the terms on which Ripple Coworking offers you virtual office, day office and/or coworking services within Ripple Coworking offices located in the Facility you chose.

By selecting “accept” and purchasing a virtual office or coworking plan (referred to as “Services”) or otherwise signing an agreement in writing that incorporates this Agreement by reference, you agree to and accept this Agreement and the policies and terms linked to or otherwise referenced in this Agreement. If you do not so agree, you should decline this Agreement, in which case you are prohibited from purchasing these services from us.

Contracting Parties

If you are purchasing Services at the Flagler Beach location, you enter this agreement with Ripple Coworking, Inc. only. If you are purchasing Services in the Daytona Beach location, you are entering into this agreement with Ripple Coworking Daytona, Inc. only. The entity you are contracted with will be referred to in this agreement as Ripple Coworking.

Term

Services will commence on the date of your purchase and, except for Coworking or Day Office day passes, will continue on a perpetual month-to-month basis until terminated by either you or Ripple Coworking upon written notice to the other party received one month prior to the first day of a calendar month, or by Ripple Coworking in the event of your Default (as defined below). The period beginning the date this Agreement commences until the termination by either party as described above shall be referred to as the “Term”. For the purposes of this Agreement, written notice received by Ripple Coworking from you after the first day of the Month will be considered received on the first of the next month.

Contracts Signed after the 1st of the Month

Services other than Coworking or Day Office day passes run on a calendar month cycle. In the event any contract is entered into on any day other than the first day of the calendar month, the earliest that it would be terminable is the last business day of the next month. For example, (i) if a contract commenced on (i) March 5 on a month-to-month basis, the initial term (and therefor the earliest date to terminate the agreement) would end on April 30; or (ii) on June 15 on for a one-year Term, the initial term (and the earliest date to terminate the agreement) would end on July 30 the next calendar year. Client is required to pay a fee for the first full month up front, and during the second month, the fee shall be pro-rated to reflect the days under contract during the first month.

Services

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, Ripple Coworking will grant to you a license for the non-exclusive use of the following member privileges (the “Member Privileges”), as applicable to the Service you have selected:

the Member Privileges described for the Service you have subscribed;

Google Business Listing and Virtual Office; Local Office Plan

Due to changes in Google’s policies regarding virtual offices and Google Business (formerly Google My Business) listings, members with virtual office plans will no longer be able to establish or maintain a Google Business local listing. Instead, virtual office clients must upgrade to a “Local Office” plan. Rates for the Local Office are listed here: https://ripplecoworking.com/rates/

Members desiring a local business presence using Ripple Coworking’s facilities can subscribe to a Local Office plan. In addition to the Services, this plan will include:

Members who desire the additional features of the Waist High and higher virtual office plans can add these services to their account. Additional fees apply.

SCHEDULE B

Conference Room, Day-Office & Coworking Policy

Minimal Rental Periods. Conference rooms are available in 30 minute intervals, starting on each hour and half hour. The minimum rental period for a day-office workspace is a full day (9:00 A.M. to 5:30 PM). These are the smallest units that your account will be charged for each such services. Advanced reservations for coworking usage during Business Hours is not necessary for subscribers of a coworking plan, but is required for Day Office usage.

How to Make a Reservation. Reserve space through Ripple Coworking’s online member portal.

Cancellation Policy. Making and canceling conference room, day office and coworking workspace reservations is your responsibility. Ripple Coworking Reception is not permitted to make reservations on your behalf.

If you do not cancel a reservation within one business day, you will be responsible for the cost of the entire reservation. For example, if your reservation is for Friday at 10:00 A.M., if you cancel prior to Thursday at 10:00 A.M., then your account will not be charged for the reservation, but if you cancel after this time, your account will be charged for the entire reservation.

Because your reservation makes the space unavailable for other Ripple Coworking clients, you will be responsible for conference room and day-office workspace charges whether you use the space or not, and whether or not it is ultimately used by another client.

Notices sent to Reception after hours will be considered received at 9:00 A.M. on the next business day.

Billing Policy. Your account will be charged for the greater of (i) your entire reservation, regardless of whether you leave early, or your visitors show up late (or not at all), or (ii) actual usage (if your usage goes beyond the reservation time and the room or workspace is available for a longer period of time), with a minimum additional charge starting with the smallest billing unit for the space used.

Relocation & Re-booking Policy. Ripple Coworking reserves the right to relocate your meeting to a different conference room to maximize the efficiency of conference room usage, like, for example, to free up time to accommodate a multi-party meeting. All clients benefit from this policy from time-to-time, so your cooperation and flexibility is greatly appreciated.

If your reserved conference room is vacant for more than 30 minutes, unless you notify a staff member of your intention to use your reserved conference room time, we reserve the right to make the conference room available to other clients; however, you will still be responsible for the cost of your reservation.

Miscellaneous Rules

Leave conference rooms, day office space and coworking space cleaner than the way you found it. Clean up after yourself and your guests. Remove all trash and push in chairs. If you cannot clean up after yourself, tell the Receptionist and a Ripple Coworking staff member will do it for you. A fee of $25 will be charged on your next invoice. If you leave a mess anywhere in the Facility and don’t arrange for clean-up, you will be billed $50 on your next invoice.

Reserve enough time for your meetings. If your meeting runs long and conflicts with someone else’s conference room or day office reservation, you will be asked to leave the space. If you are asked to leave a space, please do so immediately.

Don’t “Jump In” an empty conference room or workspace without a reservation. Make a reservation, or you will be asked to leave.

Conference rooms are not to be used as your second office. Conference rooms are to be used for client and staff meetings only, not for individual use to work on projects that can be done at your desk. Some Ripple Coworking clients rent workspaces from which they cannot have client meetings. We are happy to rent you a larger office (even on a temporary basis) if your current space is too small to accommodate your needs.

Take care not to double book conference rooms. Read the calendar carefully and do not double book. You will be responsible for the cost of the double booked conference room.

Book your conference room and day offices early. As soon as you schedule a meeting or know you need a day office, book the conference room and/or day office. Conference rooms are readily available if you book them a few days in advance. Wait until the day of your meeting and you may find yourself booked out of a room. If all Day Offices listed on the member portal are booked, Ripple Coworking may, in its sole discretion, make an available office temporarily rentable for day office use. Contact Reception in these cases.

If there is an issue with someone else conflicting with your reservation, see the Ripple Coworking receptionist and we will handle the situation. Don’t handle this yourself. Let us be the bad guy–we’re OK with it.

Be mindful of your neighbors when working in the coworking space. The coworking space is intended to be a quiet workspace. Please be considerate of members and guests privacy, safety and confidentially. Please keep cellular phones on quiet mode, keep the volume of in-person conversations at a low level, and only take phone calls in designated call areas. Your guests are not permitted to use or meet with you in the coworking space. You are not permitted to use speakers or speakerphones in the office.

Compliance with Operating Standards. Your use of the conference rooms is further subject to the Operating Standards discussed above.
