Craftspace provides an online platform that offers temporary bookings which are accessible atwww.craftspace.de (the “Site”).

You agree to comply with and be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these terms (“Terms”), whether or not you become a registered Member. Craftspace reserves all rights in respect of access to and use of the Site and all Content. Please also read our Privacy Policy carefully here.

• “Listing” means a Space that is listed as available for booking via the Site.
• “Member” means a person who completes Craftspace’s account registration process as described under “Account Registration” below.

• “Space” means any room, workshop, kitchen, house, apartment, suite, hall, center, building or other property and/or its facilities and immediate surroundings offered for booking by Craftspace via the Site.
• "Services" means any service offered directly by a space or a third-party supplier related to an agreement and offered for booking by Craftspace via the Site.

2. How the Site Works

The Site can be used to book Spaces and related services, including but not limited to rooms, workshops, kitchens, houses, apartments, suites, halls, centers, buildings or other properties and/or related services and/or its immediate surroundings for commercial or other purposes. Such Spaces are included in Listings on the Site. You may view Listings or book a Space as an unregistered visitor to the Site; however, if you wish to create a Listing, you must register to create a Craftspace Account (defined below).

3. Account Registration and Access

In order to access certain features of the Site or create a Listing, you must first register to create an account ("Craftspace Account”) and become a Member. Your personal profile will be created based upon the information you provide. You may not have more than one (1) Craftspace Account. Access to your profile is password protected and you are responsible for safeguarding your password. Craftspace shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees on whatsoever scale, arising out of or in any way connected with any activities or actions under your Craftspace Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Craftspace of any unauthorized use of your Craftspace Account.

4. Information provided for Registration or Booking

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information. The same applies to the information provided in the booking process.

5. Bookings

If you request a booking, you submit an offer to Craftspace to enter into an Agreement. A booking will only become valid upon confirmation by Craftspace. Craftspace is required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the following period:

• if a "Booking Request Period” is displayed in the Listing, such period is decisive;
• if no “Booking Request Period” is displayed in the Listing, the period is one week.

If Craftspace confirms a booking, we will summarize the material terms of the booking (including the applicable cancellation policy) in an email to you. Such confirmation shall constitute a commercial letter of acknowledgement. If you feel that it does not fully reflect what has been agreed, you have to inform us without undue delay.

Absent a confirmation by Craftspace in such period, the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is not confirmed by Craftspace, any amounts collected by Craftspace will be refunded to you, depending on the selections you make via the Site and any pre-authorization of your credit card will be released, if applicable.

Craftspace does not charge, but only pre-authorizes, your credit card until a booking is confirmed.

6. Financial Terms

The Booking Fees payable will be displayed to you before you send a booking request. You as a Booker are liable to pay Craftspace using the methods described on the Site for the Booking Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Craftspace Account if such requested bookings are confirmed. In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to Craftspace or its third party payment processor(s). In order to establish a booking, you understand and agree that Craftspace reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Booking Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar (EUR 1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting (e.g. one USD or one British pound), to verify your credit card. Upon confirmation of your booking, Craftspace will charge your credit card for the Booking Fees. You duly authorize Craftspace or the third party online payment processor, as the case may be, to charge your credit card for said fees and collect said fees without requiring additional or prior approval from you subsequent to your booking request.

Please note that Craftspace cannot control any fees that may be charged to you by your bank related to Craftspace’s collection of the Booking Fees, and Craftspace disclaims all liability in this regard. If you are directed to Craftspace’s third party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete, you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

7. Cancellations by you

If you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed, Craftspace will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time.

If you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site, either prior to or after arriving at the Space, the cancellation policy of Craftspace pursuant to the individual Agreement will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Booking Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy pursuant to the individual Agreement.

8. Terms of Booking

Booking Fees include all utilities (electricity, heating and water) unless noted otherwise in the respective Agreement.

Booking Fees may include services that you explicitely selected in the booking process unless noted otherwise in the respective Agreement.

You as a Booker are responsible to return the Space clean and in the same state as handed over unless noted otherwise in the respective Agreement. You may be charged additional fees for cleaning and/or restoration in case you fail to return the space in the same condition. The respective fees will be invoiced to you separately. Craftspace does not guarantee that these fees may be covered by insurance. Craftspace suggests you to document the state of the space on your arrival at the space in case that may be required for insurance claims.

You are responsible to return any keys you may obtain.

You are responsible to get insurance coverage that may be required to get (e.g. for events). For some Spaces, mandatory insurance against damages is required. If indicated in the respective Agreement, you have to obtain such insurance. We may request that you submit conclusive evidence that you have obtained such insurance. If we made such request and you have not submitted such evidence, Craftspace may withhold the Space; but you remain liable to pay Booking Fees.

You are responsible to get licenses that may be required for your event (e.g. noise/alcohol) and to comply with all applicable laws (in particular laws on noise protection).

You must not subcontract the usage of the Space except as expressly approved by Craftspace in writing (it being understood that e-mail shall suffice).

You may not have more than one (1) Craftspace Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information.

You will immediately notify Craftspace of any unauthorized use of your Craftspace Account.

3. Space Listings

As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Space to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, size, features, and availability of the Space and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, all Spaces must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site. Users will be able to book your Space via the Site from Craftspace based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Craftspace Booker requests a booking of your Space via Craftspace, you may not request Craftspace to pay a higher Payable Fee than mentioned in the Listing.

You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for management, maintenance and updating of any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and Craftspace’s use of a Space in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Space included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.

All images, materials and content created by these photographers provided by Craftspace, including Verified Images, constitute Content, regardless of whether you include them in your Listing.

4. Bookings

Independent of the booking process you choose, all bookings that you accept from Bookers via Craftspace will be directly between you and Craftspace. Craftspace will be the contracting party in your agreement and the merchant of record for your invoice. Craftspace will enter into a separate agreement with the Booker.

Craftspace offers different processes to facilitate bookings for you:

When registering a Space, you may opt to be available for “Instant Booking” by providing payable fees in the Listing. In such case, the Payable Fees you provide to Craftspace become a binding offer for the Space in question. We may accept such offer by notifying you (e.g. via e-mail) that we accept the offer for a specified Booking Date in which case the Agreement is concluded. Craftspace may at it's sole discretion allow you to withdraw from the agreement. If you feel that you cannot fulfill the agreement, you have to inform us without undue delay.

Alternatively, if you do not provide a payable fee in the listing you opt to be available for “Request to Book” only, in which case Craftspace may ask you to provide an offer for a specified Booking Date. You agree to respond to booking requests within 24 hours, otherwise the booking request will be automatically cancelled. Once you provide an offer you commit to reserve your space on the requested Booking Date exclusively for Craftspace for three working days (Monday-Friday). We may accept such offer by notifying you (e.g. via e-mail) that we accept the offer for a specified Booking Date in which case the Agreement is concluded.

You may only withdraw from any offer by amending your registration of the Space, as long as the offer is not accepted.

If Craftspace confirms a booking, we will summarize the material terms of the booking (including the applicable cancellation policy) in an email to you. Such confirmation shall constitute a commercial letter of acknowledgement. If you feel that it does not fully reflect what has been agreed, you have to inform us without undue delay.

5. Financial Terms

Payable Fees include all utilities (electricity, heating and water) as submitted by you in the course of the registration process.

Payable Fees may include any services that you made available in the registration of the Listing and that Craftspace requested and confirmed to book as part of the agreement.

Craftspace pays Payable Fees as concluded with you in the agreement directly to you following the respective Event Date (unless agreed otherwise 30 days net after the event date) and once the Booker made payment of the Booking Fees to Craftspace.

To receive payment you need to submit a legally-correct invoice for the agreement to Craftspace's billing address bills@craftspace.de with the required information stated in the mail that we sent to you when accepting the offer.

6. Cancellations by you

If you confirm a booking request by Craftspace, you have concluded a binding Agreement. You may not withdraw from such Agreement.

Craftspace may cancel a confirmed booking at the conditions of the individual Agreement.

7. Terms of Booking

Craftspace is entitled to subcontract the Spaces booked from you to Bookers of its choice.

You will reply to our questions and questions of Bookers related to the booking of your Space during normal business hours. On the Booking Date, you will make available Spaces to the Booker at such terms as per our individual Agreement, grant to them access to the Space (by handing over keys or otherwise), introduce them to specifics of the Space and be available for questions at least two hours from handing over.

You will ensure the Space fully complies with the Listing (in particular with any photos displayed in the Listing) on the Booking Date and that the Space is clean and tidy (not less than shown in the picture) when handed over to the Booker.

Craftspace is only requested to return the Space fully cleaned if the Listing says so.

15. Limitation of Liability

Craftspace’s liability is limited as follows: If a Space is damaged by a Booker or a Booker’s employees, agents or guests, Craftspace is liable to the extent it is indemnified by the Booker or the Booker’s insurance. As for the rest, Craftspace shall only be liable

• a) for damages if the cause of damage is based on gross negligence or intentional breach of obligations by Craftspace or by one of Craftspace’s legal representatives or agents or
• b) for the negligent breach of fundamental obligations whose breach endangers the fulfilment of the purpose of the Agreement or for the breach of obligations whose fulfilment enables the proper execution of the Agreement in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the customer regularly relies.

Craftspace shall not assume liability for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than the ones stated in the preceding sentences.

The aforementioned limitation of liability shall not apply in the case of injury to life, body or health, for a defect after assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the product, and for the fraudulent concealment of deficiencies. The liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

16. Data Collection and Data Privacy

Spacebase collects and stores the data necessary for the transaction of the customer requests.

When processing the personal data of customers or space owners Spacebase observes the legal provisions. Further information can be found in our separate privacy policy.

You agree to equally treat all personal data of bookers or Spacebase staff confidential and to use it solely for fulfilling contractual obligations. You agree to deleting or anonymizing of all personal data as soon as applicable legal requirements allow.

17. Indemnification

You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Craftspace harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, arising out of or in any way connected with:

• a) your Member Content and/or
• b) non-compliance or alleged non-compliance of Spaces and Listings (in particular claims of Owners) and/or
• c) your non-compliance with the terms of the Agreement (in particular claims of Owners).

18. Changing these terms

Spacebase might, at any time, change these terms. Spacebase will notify members via E-Mail and via publishing of the updated terms on the site. Notifications will happen at least two weeks in advance of any changes taking effect.

If the user does not state any written objections (e.g. via E-Mail) within two weeks after being notified, the changed terms will become effective on the day that was determined in the notification.

In case of written objection received on-time, Spacebase is entiteled – taking into account the legitimate interest of the member – to cancel all existing contracts with the member. Cancellation will take effect at the same time the new terms are becoming effective and the user account will be locked.

You cannot derive claims from that, in particular no claims of compensation against Spacebase.

19. Individual Agreements

Individual agreements shall prevail over these Terms. The content of such individual agreements shall in each case be confirmed by both Craftspace and you in writing (it being understood that e-mail shall suffice).

20. Controlling Law and Jurisdiction
