ALX Community (will further be known as the “Facility”) has a variety of membership types for the use of its co-working spaces. Your membership type, as specified in the Membership Details section of your Agreement (or Addendum if applicable) (collectively the “Agreement”), will determine the nature and extent of the use you may make of the Facility and other related services (collectively, the “Services”). The Terms and Conditions set forth in this document are applicable to the Corporate Membership.

I. RATES, FEES, PAYMENT TERMS

Payment in Full Due Upon Signing. Upon submitting a signed and completed Agreement, you will be obligated to deliver to us, in the amount(s) set forth in the Membership Details section of your Agreement, (i) the full Corporate Membership fee and, (ii) the Set-Up Fee for the individual identified as the point of contact. In the event the point of contact is changed, we have the right to charge an additional set up fee.

Payment(s) can be made via ACH bank account (following completion of required ACH template), credit card, or debit card. We do not accept checks.

Membership Fee. The Membership fee covers access to ALX Community (hereafter referred to as “Facility”) defined in your membership agreement during the defined term. No later than 30 days prior to the end of the term, you are obligated to provide notice of your intent to terminate the Agreement.

As of the last day of the Agreement Term or any successive term thereafter, the term shall renew for a term equal to the initial commitment term unless notice has been served by either the member or ALX Community in accordance with the notice requirements of the membership type.

Invoices. You may view your bill for any monthly services such as meeting room rental, honor bar or other applicable charges at any time in ALX Community’s online platform. Three (3) days before the 1st of the month, ALX Community will electronically send invoices and other billing-related documents, information and notices to the then-current Billing Contact. All invoices are deemed delivered and read by the Billing Contact within 24 hours of being sent. If you have any objection to an invoice, you must notify us within ten (10) business days following delivery of the invoice; otherwise, you will be deemed to have accepted and approved the charges detailed on the invoice. Change of the Billing Contact will require at least three (3) business days’ notice delivered through ALX Community’s online platform.

Service Fees. As a Corporate Member you are entitled to:

Access to the defined Facility for meetings at a discount from regular market rates as defined in your membership agreement.
Meeting attendees may use the honor bar in the Facility. All items are for purchase.
You may add day passes for the flex space or for private offices for use by your team members. Passes will allow team members access to the community.
You may add coffee or lunch service to your meetings.

Late Fees. If payment for the Service Fee or any other accrued and outstanding fee is not made by the fifth (5th) day of the month in which such payment is due, you will be responsible for paying the then-current late charge. The current late charge is listed below.

Your account is protected by your account password, and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Web Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
