Last Updated: June 2019

Splacer Inc. (“Splacer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) welcomes you.  We provide you access to our tools and services (our “Services”) through our website located at www.splacer.co (the “Site”) subject to these Terms of Use, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you.  By browsing the public areas of the Site or by accessing and using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use and the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, this “Agreement”).  If you do not agree to any of these terms, then you are not permitted to use the Site.

THE SECTIONS BELOW TITLED “BINDING ARBITRATION” AND “CLASS ACTION WAIVER” CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.  PLEASE READ THEM.

Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Use shall have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.

1.        DESCRIPTION AND USE OF SPLACER

We provide Visitors and Registered Users with access to the Site as described below.  

Visitors.  Visitors, as the term implies, are people who do not register with us, but want to explore the Site.  No login is required for Visitors.  Visitors can: (i) view all content and access all publicly-available features and functionality on the Site; (ii) subscribe to Splacer communications, alerts, and other notifications; and (iii) contact us.

        

Registered Users.  Registered Users can do all the things that Visitors can do, and: (i) access non-public features and functionality available only to Registered Users; (ii) create, access, manage, and update their own personal accounts on the Site; (iii) post listings, comments, reviews, and other content on the Site and/or interact with other Registered Users of the Site (all content and information provided in connection with the foregoing is collectively referred to herein as “Registered User Content”); and (iv) provide or book third-party event spaces through Splacer (“Spaces”). Splacer is under no obligation to accept any individual as a Registered User and may accept or reject any registration in its sole and complete discretion.  In addition, Splacer may deactivate any account at any time, including, without limitation, if it determines that a Registered User has violated this Agreement.

A Registered User may be either a Space Provider or an Event Organizer:

A “Space Provider” is a Registered User who chooses to create an account through which the Registered User may offer and provide Spaces through Splacer.

An “Event Organizer” is a Registered User who chooses to create an account through which the Registered User may request and/or book Spaces through Splacer.

If an Event Organizer is interested in reserving a Space on a particular date and during a particular period of time (an “Event” and, the date of such Event, the “Event Date”), the Event Organizer may request a quote from the applicable Space Provider.  All such quotes must be provided through Splacer, although some communication between the Event Organizer and the Space Provider may take place off-Site in order for the parties to negotiate details and tour the Space, subject to our non-circumvention rules and obligations as set forth in Section 4 below.  As further detailed in Section 4, Event Organizer may not book or pay for its Event offline or through any mechanism other than through Splacer.  

2.        RESTRICTIONS ON USE

  • You will let us know about inappropriate Registered User Content of which you become aware.

We have the right, but not the obligation, to review and reject or remove any Space listing or other Registered User Content that, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms of Use in any respect.  We also reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to deny you access to the Site, or to any portion of the Site, without notice.

3.        SIGN-IN NAME; PASSWORD; UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS 

If you wish to become a Registered User, you will be prompted to create an account, which includes a sign-in name (“Sign-In Name”), a password (“Password”), and perhaps certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”).  When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information.  Each Sign-In Name and corresponding Password can be used by only one Registered User.  You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your Sign-In Name, Password, and Unique Identifiers, as well as for any use, misuse, or communications entered or payments made through the Site using one or more of them.  You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Sign-In Name, or change any Unique Identifier.  We reserve the right to delete or change your Password, Sign-In Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason and shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage caused by such action.  Splacer will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of your account.

4.        NO CIRCUMVENTION

You acknowledge and agree that the Site and Splacer’s Services are designed to facilitate booking transactions.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Registered User, whether an Event Organizer or a Space Provider, circumvent Splacer in order to transact with another Registered User it has met via Splacer to book an Event at a Space that is listed on the Site. Although Event Organizers and Space Providers may communicate off-Site about an Event booking, including, without limitation, for purposes of offering a physical tour of the Space, once the parties decide to transact (i.e., once Event Organizer decides to book the Space in question), the parties must bring the transaction back to Splacer and follow the prescribed steps to consummating the transaction, including payment of all fees hereunder.  

Splacer reserves the right to monitor all Registered Users’ activity on the Site or using the Services, including, without limitation, communications by and between Event Organizers and Space Providers, in order to monitor compliance with the foregoing non-circumvention requirements.  If Splacer determines that any Registered User is in violation of this Section 4, it reserves the right to immediately close your account with the Site, deny you future access to the Site, and remove any Space listings you may have on the Site.

5.        FEES, PAYMENTS, AND AUTOMATIC RENEWALS

Some of our Services may be free of charge.  However, charges do apply if you sign up for any of our various subscription plans (“Subscriptions”) or membership packages (“Memberships”) described on the Site. In such a case, you hereby agree that our third-party payment processors may immediately authorize your credit card (or other approved facility) for payment for any Subscriptions or Memberships ordered under your Password on or through Splacer.

As set forth more fully in Section 3 above, you must keep your password strictly confidential. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Password, and you agree to be personally liable for all charges incurred under your Password. Your liability for such charges shall continue after termination of this Agreement.

If you have a question about a Subscription or Membership on your credit card statement, please use the “Contact Us” section of the Site to contact customer service. In connection with any Subscription or Membership, all sales are final, and we do not accept returns or exchanges, unless otherwise provided in the applicable agreement between you and Splacer in connection with such Subscription or Membership. Subject to Section 14, all payments made to us are non-refundable.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR A SUBSCRIPTION (MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, ANNUALLY, OR OTHERWISE), YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNTIL YOU CANCEL IT.  YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SITE, AND THE CANCELLATION WILL TAKE EFFECT AT THE EXPIRATION OF THE THEN-CURRENT TERM.

We may modify the fees at any time by posting such modification on the Site, and any such modification shall go into effect thirty (30) days after it is so posted.

The Services may require data access, and the provider of such data access (e.g., network operator, wireless carrier, etc.) for the device through which you access the Services may charge you data access and other fees in connection with your use of the Site and Services, including, without limitation, wireless carrier messaging and other communication, messaging, and data fees and charges, as applicable.  You shall be responsible, at your sole cost and expense, for obtaining and paying for wireless access, and under no circumstances will Splacer be responsible for any such data access fees or charges in connection with your use of the Site or Services.

6.        INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Site contains material, such as software, text, graphics, images, designs, sound recordings, audiovisual works, and other material provided by or on behalf of Splacer (collectively referred to as the “Content”).  The Content may be owned by us or third parties.  The Content is protected under both United States and foreign laws.  Unauthorized use of the Content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.  You have no rights in or to the Content, and you will not use the Content except as permitted under this Agreement.  No other use is permitted without prior written consent from us.  You must retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the original Content on any copy you make of the Content.  You may not sell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense, or modify the Content or reproduce, display, publicly perform, make a derivative version of, distribute, or otherwise use the Content in any way for any public or commercial purpose.  The use or posting of the Content on any other website or in a networked computer environment for any purpose is expressly prohibited.

If you violate any part of this Agreement, your permission to access and/or use the Content and the Site automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any copies you have made of the Content.

The trademarks, service marks, and logos of Splacer (the “Splacer Trademarks”) used and displayed on the Site are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of Splacer.  Other company, product, and service names located on the Site may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks,” and, collectively with Splacer Trademarks, the “Trademarks”).  Nothing on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use the Trademarks, without our prior written permission specific for each such use.  Use of the Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless establishment of such a link is approved in advance by us in writing.  All goodwill generated from the use of the Splacer Trademarks inures to our benefit.

Elements of the Site are protected by trade dress, trademark, unfair competition, and other state and federal laws and may not be copied or imitated in whole or in part, by any means, including, but not limited to, the use of framing or mirrors.  None of the Content may be retransmitted without our express, written consent for each and every instance.

7.        REGISTERED USER CONTENT

As noted above, the Site provides Registered Users the ability to post and upload Registered User Content.  You expressly acknowledge and agree that once you submit your Registered User Content other than Secret Listings (as defined below), it will be accessible by others, and that there is no confidentiality or privacy with respect to such Registered User Content, including, without limitation, any personally identifying information that you may make available.  It is also understood and agreed by you that you shall have no expectation of privacy with respect to information that you exchange with other Registered Users via the Site’s messaging functions.  For the avoidance of doubt, the content of such messages between you and other Registered Users may be monitored by Splacer for compliance purposes as set forth in Section 4 above, but will not be disclosed to other Registered Users or made publicly available.  YOU, AND NOT SPLACER, ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REGISTERED USER CONTENT THAT YOU UPLOAD, POST, E-MAIL, OR OTHERWISE TRANSMIT VIA THE SITE, AND YOU WILL INDEMNIFY US IN RESPECT OF ANY LOSS, LIABILITY, CLAIM, OR DAMAGE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY US IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH REGISTERED USER CONTENT.

You retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in and to your own Registered User Content.  You do, however, hereby grant us and our sublicensees a non-exclusive, royalty-free, freely sublicensable, perpetual license to modify, compile, combine with other content, copy, record, synchronize, transmit, translate, format, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise use or exploit (including for profit) your Registered User Content and all intellectual property and moral rights therein throughout the universe, in each case, by or in any means, methods, media, or technology now known or hereafter devised.  You also grant us and our sublicensees the right, but not the obligation, to use your Registered User Content, your Sign-In Name, name, likeness, and photograph in connection with any use of the related Registered User Content permitted by the previous sentence and/or to advertise and promote the Site, Splacer, the Services, and our other products and services.  Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that uses of your Registered User Content, name, likeness, and photograph permitted by the foregoing rights and licenses may include the display of such Registered User Content, name, likeness, and photograph adjacent to advertising and other material or content, including for profit.

If you submit Registered User Content to us, each such submission constitutes a representation and warranty to Splacer that such Registered User Content is your original creation (or that you otherwise have the right to provide the Registered User Content), that you have the rights necessary to grant to Splacer the license to the Registered User Content as set forth above, and that it and its use by Splacer and third parties as permitted by this Agreement does not and will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property or moral rights of any person or contain any libelous, defamatory, or obscene material or content that violates this Agreement.

In addition, if you are a Space Provider and you submit Registered User Content in the form of a Space listing, your submission constitutes a representation and warranty to Splacer that you have the full right, power, and authority to offer the Space for rent through Splacer and to collect money in connection with the rental of the Space through Splacer.  

8.        SECRET LISTINGS

Splacer offers certain perks and offerings to Event Organizers who have Memberships or who have otherwise achieved status on the Site.  One such perk is the ability to view a private internal database of Space listings that is not otherwise accessible to the public including other Registered Users of Splacer (“Secret Listings”).  Secret Listings are unique Spaces that are made available on a private basis only to preferred Event Organizers and members.  Space Providers do not have the option to list their Spaces on the Secret Listings database without Splacer’s prior approval.  Generally, Secret Listings are hand-picked by the Splacer team, though occasionally Splacer will consider Spaces proposed by Space Providers for the Secret Listings database.  If you are a Space Provider and would like to offer your Space as a Secret Listing, you may email Splacer with your request at info@splacer.co.

Secret Listings are considered Registered User Content hereunder and are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Secret Listings are kept private by Splacer, and are not made accessible by all Registered Users and Visitors of the Site, but are instead only disclosed to preferred Registered Users, namely members, at Splacer’s sole and exclusive discretion.

9.        COMMUNICATIONS WITH US

Although we encourage you to e-mail us, we do not want you to, and you should not, e-mail us any content that contains confidential information.  With respect to all e-mails and communications you send to us, including, but not limited to, feedback, questions, comments, suggestions, and the like, we shall be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in your communications for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, the development, production, and marketing of products and services that incorporate such information without compensation or attribution to you.

10.        NO WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

All Spaces are provided by the third party Space Providers, and not by Splacer; therefore, Splacer has no control over, and hereby disclaims any and all liability arising out of or associated with, the condition, quality, safety, legality or suitability of any Space. SPACE PROVIDERS AND EVENT ORGANIZERS, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNS, SUBROGEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES ACTING FOR, BY OR THROUGH IT, HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE SPLACER, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, EMPLOYEES, AND INSURERS, FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS OR RIGHTS OF ACTION, OF WHATEVER NATURE, CHARACTER OR DESCRIPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR DEATH THAT ARISE FROM, ARE RELATED TO OR ARE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY EVENT OR THE RENTING OR USE OF ANY SPACE. IN THE EVENT EITHER SPACE PROVIDER OR EVENT ORGANIZER SUFFERS ANY LOSS TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, SUCH SPACE PROVIDER OR EVENT ORGANIZER SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO ITS OWN INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES AND CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT EVENT ORGANIZER OR SPACE PROVIDER, OR ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, MAY HAVE AGAINST SPLACER.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SITE MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT COULD CAUSE SYSTEM FAILURES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES. THEREFORE, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS ON WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU.

Space Providers and Event Organizers must maintain adequate general liability insurance against any claim or claims that might arise out of such Space Provider’s or Event Organizer’s rental, booking, or use of a Space. Upon request by Splacer, such Space Provider or Event Organizer shall furnish an insurance certificate signed by an authorized agent evidencing such insurance coverage.

Copyright Agent

Splacer Inc.

copyright.agent@splacer.co

16.        CONTROLLING LAW

The Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

17.        BINDING ARBITRATION

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to the Agreement, the Site, the Content, or the Services (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).  Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION.  ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.  All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.  The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules.  Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.  The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in New York, New York.  The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.  The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.  As set forth in Section 19 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

18.        CLASS ACTION WAIVER

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

19.        EQUITABLE RELIEF

You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York for purposes of any such action by us.

20.        COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT NOTICE

Splacer is a provider of “interactive computer services” as defined under the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. Section 230, and as such, our liability for defamation, libel, product disparagement, and other claims arising out of any Registered User Content is limited as described therein.  We are not responsible for any Registered User Content.  We neither warrant the accuracy of the Registered User Content nor exercise any editorial control over Registered User Content, nor do we assume any legal obligation for editorial control of Registered User Content or liability in connection with Registered User Content, including any responsibility or liability for investigating or verifying the accuracy of any Registered User Content.

21.        MISCELLANEOUS 

If the Agreement is terminated in accordance with the Termination provision above, such termination shall not affect the validity of Sections 5 through 21, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement.  No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.  Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter.  The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.
