3.          Scope

 

The Terms and Conditions apply to the Service that ZAPFLOOR provides via the Platform. ZAPFLOOR only acts as a facilitator between the Tenants and the Lessors and is therefore not a party to any agreement relating to the renting or leasing out of Spaces or the provision of goods and services by the Lessor to the Tenant. All agreements relating to the renting of Spaces and provision of goods or services shall be concluded directly between the Lessor and the Tenant.

 

ZAPFLOOR shall in no way be deemed to act as Tenant or Lessor. In addition, ZAPFLOOR cannot be regarded as a broker, insurer or executive agent. ZAPFLOOR is also not a direct or indirect representative of any Tenants or Lessors and does not act as broker, intermediary or similar.

 

At its sole discretion and at any time, ZAPFLOOR may expand the scope of its activities without prior notice.

 

4.          The Platform

 

The Platform is intended to serve as meeting place for Tenants and Lessors of Spaces for professional purposes. The Platform also gives Tenants the opportunity, inter alia, to reserve meeting rooms, order goods and services from the Lessor and consult contracts and billing data.

 

Use of the Platform is only possible if the User has an Account.  An Account for the Tenant on the Platform is created by ZAPFLOOR or the Lessor. The Tenant verifies the details of his/her Account and informs ZAPFLOOR when the Account contains incorrect data, such as the incorrect identity (first and last name, date of birth, gender) or active contact details (e-mail address and telephone number), enterprise number, registered office, etc. If the Account information is not correct and truthful, ZAPFLOOR cannot guarantee the quality of its Service.  The Lessor also confirms that it has obtained permission from the Tenant to share this information with ZAPFLOOR. The Lessor is obliged to update the Accounts it manages and to keep all information up to date, and is fully liable for all harmful consequences if it fails to do so. The Tenant acknowledges and confirms that he/she has given his/her consent to the Lessor or ZAPFLOOR to use his/her data for the creation of an Account.

 

Use of the Platform is only permitted for natural persons 18 years and older and with the legal capacity to enter into a contract and for companies, firms, enterprises, non-profit organisations and associations. The User guarantees that he/she and where relevant, the entity for which he/she concludes contracts, has the authority to do so.

 

The User accepts that the information that he/she voluntarily provides and/or for which he/she grants the Lessor permission to share with ZAPFLOOR can and shall be used in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

 

Insofar as the Platform allows, the User may update the information contained in his/her Account at any time. If the User wishes to stop using the Platform and remove his/her Account from the Platform, he/she can contact ZAPFLOOR via [email protected]. ZAPFLOOR will remove the User's Account and personal information from the Platform within a reasonable time and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

 

If the User violates the Terms and Conditions, other ZAPFLOOR rules or guidelines or any applicable law, ZAPFLOOR may suspend or delete the Account at any time without prior notice and without liability to the User.

 

Although ZAPFLOOR will make every effort that can reasonably be expected of it to ensure the proper functioning of the Platform, ZAPFLOOR cannot guarantee that the Platform will operate continuously at all times without any interruption or that it will run flawlessly on any device that is used to gain access to the Platform.

 

At any time, ZAPFLOOR may make corrections, adjustments, changes, improvements and make any other changes to the Platform, including adding to or ceasing to display or provide any content or function without having to notify and without being accountable to its Users. The User agrees and acknowledges that ZAPFLOOR is not liable for any errors or malfunctions that may occur in connection with the implementation of such changes.

 

5.          Costs

 

The Usage Costs depend on the services and goods ordered by the Tenant. The Usage Costs are either borne by the Lessor or by the Tenant, according to the pricing model chosen by the Lessor. If the Tenant is required to pay for the purchase of goods and/or services, this will be expressly stated on the Platform and the Tenant acknowledges that he/she shall bear and pay these costs in accordance with the payment terms set out in Article 6 of the Terms and Conditions of Use.

 

The Usage Costs are published on the Site and/or Platform. When the Tenant has ordered goods or services via the Platform, the Usage Costs connected with this are definitively due.

 

6.          Methods of payment

 

The Usage Costs are invoiced periodically to the Tenant by the Lessor. The specific payment terms and conditions for the Usage Costs are agreed between the Tenant and Lessor. Invoicing of the goods and services ordered by the Tenant will be automatic but will only be sent after approval by Lessor. Tenant shall make all payments of the Usage Costs directly to the Lessor.

 

The Tenants pay the Usage Costs via (i) payment provider Mollie (which provides various payment methods) (ii) a payment transaction with payment provider Twikey (iii) payment transaction with payment provider Stripe, (iv) payment transaction with payment provider PayPal or (v)  bank transfer..

 

When the User chooses to pay with Mollie, the User must create an account with Mollie; all transaction costs for the payments shall be borne by the User and the User agrees to the general terms and conditions of Mollie, which can be consulted at www.mollie.com/be/terms-conditions. When the User chooses to pay with Twikey, the User agrees to the general terms and conditions of Twikey, which can be consulted at www.twikey.com/nl/tc.html.

9.          Disclaimer

 

The Platform is only intended to facilitate the rental of Spaces and to offer Users the opportunity to order certain goods and services from the Lessor. ZAPFLOOR cannot guarantee or verify the accuracy of the information put on the Platform by the Users or the quality or content of the Spaces offered and goods and services provided by the Lessor.

10.       Limitation of liability
