These Terms, together with the ‘acceptable use policy’ for the Soho Works Members’ Site (accepted upon first accessing the Members’ Site), form the entire agreement between you and Soho Works.

 

Where your local site is located in the United Kingdom you will be deemed to contract with Soho Works Limited, a company incorporated in England with company number 09625884 whose registered office is at 180 Strand, London WC2R 1EA. Where your local site is located outside the United Kingdom each Member contracts with the Soho Works company that looks after your local site.

 

By joining Soho Works, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or that you are at least 21 years old if your local site is located within North America), that you have the necessary legal capacity to enter into legally-binding contracts under applicable law, and where you are contracting on behalf of a company, you are properly authorised to bind the company to these Terms.

Membership of Soho Works will be one of the following membership types as selected by you as part of the application process, each with varying benefits and access as detailed below:

‘OFF-PEAK PLUS’: access all day on Mondays, Fridays and weekends and from 5pm on Tuesdays to Thursdays. In addition, ‘off-peak plus’ members will receive all the benefits of a standard Soho Works member.

‘LOCAL WORKS’: access to a local workspace only. In addition, ‘local works’ members will receive a one week access pass to visit the Soho Works spaces in North America, as well as all of the benefits of a standard Soho Works member. Please note, membership price will vary by location.

‘EVERY WORKS’: access to all of our Soho Works spaces around the world.

‘DESK’: a private workspace dedicated to you plus access to all shared spaces. Includes lockable storage.

‘OFFICE’: includes memberships formerly referred to as ‘Loft’ memberships, a private secure office dedicated to your team. Includes access to the rest of the shared space.

‘AFTER HOURS’: evening access to the shared spaces for you/your team. Includes use of hot desks from 5pm on weekdays and weekends. Excludes usage of storage spaces and access of daytime events. Only available in the UK.

Names and membership types are subject to change and may be location dependent. Exact opening and closing times are also location dependent.

 

For the purposes of these Terms, “Member(s)” shall mean the member(s) whose details you included as part of the application process). In the case of Office memberships, you shall be responsible for notifying these Terms to your team Members and ensuring compliance with them.

 

Teams should notify Soho Works promptly, and within one week, when there are any changes to the team’s Members.

 

All memberships are non-transferrable and team memberships may only be used by the persons named by the team. Membership cards will be confiscated if found being used for access by anyone other than the applicable Member, and the misuse of membership cards will be taken into consideration upon any request to renew a membership.

 

Members are entitled to work from desks and workspaces designated within their membership type. Break-out areas are available for use by all members. For the avoidance of doubt we may reconfigure the space layout at any time.

 

All Members are required to attend an induction session, which will be arranged by the local Membership Manager when you first join.

 

Should you wish to change your membership type we will try to make every endeavour to accommodate the request, but any change is subject to availability and the prior agreement of Soho Works. Any agreed change to your membership type may require you to resubmit an application and accept the then current Terms.

 

You must enter your payment details into the Soho Works Members’ Site. By providing your payment details, you accept and consent to your card or bank account being charged with membership fees through our online Soho Works Members’ Site, both on joining and periodically thereafter as set out herein. Please see clause 25 below for further information about how your information is collected and used.

 

You agree to notify Soho Works as soon as reasonably practicable if changes are made to any payment details associated with your Soho Works account by updating the information on the Soho Works Members’ Site.

 

Membership fees are charged in accordance with the payment plan selected as part of the application progress. Membership fees may be subject to an increase at any time.

 

Any reduction or other discount to the membership fees as compared with the rate set out during the application process is applicable for the set period which has been agreed with the Membership Manager, after which the rate will revert back to that set out during the application process.

 

Unless otherwise agreed by the Membership Manager, membership fees are payable monthly in advance and will be charged on the first day of each month (or where the first day of the month is not a business day, the next following business day). Where the membership start date does not falls after the first day of a month but before the 15th day of a month, pro-rated membership fees for the remainder of the month as well as the membership fees for the subsequent month shall be payable on the membership start date. Where the membership start date falls after the 15th day of a month, the pro-rated membership fee for the month the Member joined shall be charged on the first day of the next month, along with the Member’s full membership fee for that particular month.

 

Charges will apply for use of facilities that exceeds or is additional to that included in your membership. Any such additional charges will be charged to your Member account in accordance with the rates set out on Soho Works Members’ Site. Charges to your Member account will be invoiced on the 1st of each month or when you reach a threshold of £1,000 (or local currency equivalent) of charges, whichever occurs first. You must contact the Membership Manager as soon as possible and within one month of the invoice date if you notice any discrepancy in the additional charges invoiced to you. Payment will be automatically taken from the credit/debit card or bank account details you have provided within three business days of the date of the invoice.

 

Failure to pay any membership fees or monthly charges within 5 days of you being notified of the overdue payment will result in late fees being applied. Soho Works reserves the right to charge interest on any overdue amount at a rate of 6% per annum. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount.  Continued payment delinquency will result not only in suspension of your Soho Works membership but will also result in suspension of your Soho House membership or your Soho Friends Membership and denied entry to Soho Works sites, houses or studios until payment has been made, with potential membership termination.

 

Upon joining Soho Works as a Desk, or Office member, a security deposit equal to six (6) weeks of Membership fees will be payable unless Soho Works confirms otherwise. Deductions may be made against the security deposit as permitted under these Terms.  The security deposit (less any deductions) will be returned to you without interest within sixty (60) days following the end of your membership.

 

MEMBERSHIP COMMENCEMENT

A membership is only considered confirmed once these Terms have been accepted, and the security deposit (where applicable) and first month’s pro rata membership fee, identification documents and all monthly payment details have been received and verified. Acceptance of your membership will be confirmed to you by email, together with confirmation of the date selected by you during the application process as the date on which your membership will commence (your ‘start date’).

 

You are entitled to cancel your membership prior to your membership start date if notice of cancellation is received by the date which is fourteen (14) days prior to your membership start date (‘cancellation date’), in which case you will be entitled to a full refund of any sums paid by you to secure your membership. If notice to cancel is received after the cancellation date (but before your start date), you will only be entitled to a 50% refund of any sums you have paid.

Members must rectify any damage caused to Soho Works property and may be charged the costs incurred by Soho Works to make good any damage. Where applicable, any such charges may be deducted from your security deposit.

 

On leaving Soho Works, a member of the Soho Works team will conduct a ‘moving-out inspection’, which may take place when you are not present.

On the final day of your membership you must vacate your workspace by 6pm unless you have agreed alternate arrangements with the Membership Manager.

 

SPACE NOT TIMELY AVAILABLE

Soho Works will not be liable if it is unable to make any designated space available by the start date, nor will such inability affect the enforceability of these Terms. These Terms shall remain in full force and effect, provided that: (i) the failure to provide access to the space does not last longer than two (2) months; and (ii) at Soho Works’ sole discretion it will either (a) provide you with reasonable alternative office accommodation (which may or may not be within a Soho Works building) during such period and charge your membership fee or (b) not charge you the membership fee during the period such space is not available to you. Following the two (2) month period set forth in (i) above, you may terminate your membership by giving seven (7) days’ prior notice to Soho Works.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause, if the delay in providing such space is due to your actions or inactions or due to changes in or work to any part of the premises requested by you, Soho Works will not be subject to any liability related to such delay nor will such delay affect the validity of these Terms and Soho Works shall have no obligation to provide you with the benefits described in subsections (a) and (b) of this paragraph and you shall not be entitled to terminate these Terms in accordance with this clause and you shall remain liable for the payment of the membership fees from the start date.

Where a Member that has entered into these Terms is organized or incorporated in the United States of America, the Member agrees to submit any and all Disputes (as defined below) to binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms. Arbitration shall be before JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services), www.jamsadr.com, in accordance with the arbitration rules of JAMS then in force, by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules. The arbitration will be an individual arbitration and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be New York, United States of America.

 

EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE DEFINITION OF DISPUTES BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS.

 

Where a Member that has entered into these Terms is organized or incorporated outside of the United States of America, in accordance with the International Chamber of Commerce commercial arbitration rules then in force, by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules.  The place of arbitration shall be London, England. Any claim which is not subject to arbitration pursuant to this paragraph shall be adjudicated exclusively in the English courts.

 

25.3 PROCEEDINGS; JUDGMENT

The proceedings shall be confidential and in English, the award rendered final, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In any action, suit or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief awarded, the prevailing party’s reasonable legal fees and other fees, costs and expenses in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, as well as any appeal or petition, the collection of any award or the enforcement of any order, as determined by the arbitrator(s) or court, as applicable. These Terms shall be interpreted and construed in the English language.

 

25.4 CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Any proceeding to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither any Member nor Soho Works will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected proceedings. The parties agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or any consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Soho Works are a party to the proceeding. The Members agree to giving up their right to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim against Soho Works including any right to class arbitration or any consolidation of individual arbitrations.

 

Except as described below, the term “Dispute” as used herein means any dispute, claim, or controversy between a Member and Soho Works regarding any aspect of your relationship with Soho Works, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including without limitation fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal, statutory or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of these Terms, except for the scope, enforceability and interpretation of the Arbitration provision and Class Action Waiver.

 

However, “Disputes” SHALL NOT include claims that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, or any claim for public injunctive relief, i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting alleged unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public. Such claims may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
