Once agreed upon, a monthly Service commitment will run concurrent with the terms of this Agreement and can only be discontinued by proper written notice at term, unless service is discontinued by CloudVO or Partner.

Business Address/Mail Service: If Client has purchased a Business Address or Mail Service from CloudVO, then CloudVO’s Partner will act as an agent for Client in receiving mail and reasonably sized packages when such are delivered to Client’s name in conjunction with services agreed to for Client. Depending upon Plan, Client may be required to complete and submit to CloudVO a USPS Form 1583, which will become part of this Agreement, and service will NOT commence prior to the completed forms being notarized, returned, and reviewed by CloudVO’s support staff. Any violation of USPS laws, rules, and/or regulations by Client may result in immediate termination of services by CloudVO. CloudVO or its Partner will accept mail in Client’s name, as detailed in this Agreement, and any additional, pre-agreed upon User names only.

Mail Management Services: Mail Forwarding: Client should not expect to receive communication regarding delivery of mail and packages. Client may pay for additional services such as notification, scanning, forwarding, etc. Otherwise, it is incumbent upon Client to check if mail is delivered and fees may apply. Where forwarding and scanning are available and upon written instruction, CloudVO will forward and scan mail and process deliveries to another address by repackaging and posting the contents of Client’s mail and small packages. Mail and packages will not be forwarded to other third-party agents for delivery addresses. Client agrees to pay for administrative costs, supplies, and postage to accommodate forwarding. CloudVO is NOT responsible for any delay or loss of mail during the forwarding process. International forwarding of packages is not available in all cases; Client may inquire as to availability. Overnight and express forwarding of packages may require Client’s account number, at the discretion of CloudVO and its Partners. CloudVO is not responsible for mail returned to sender for non-payment of service fees.
Client agrees that administrative charges will apply if Client requests CloudVO or its Partner’s staff to retrieve, read, or review the contents of Client’s mail.
Scanning Services: If Client chooses to have CloudVO or its Partners open and scan the contents of its mail, Client agrees that, unless specifically requested in writing to discard mail, CloudVO will forward the accumulated mail, once per month, at then-cost of forwarding and postage rates.

Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Cancellation of any booking or reduction of time booked must be made 48 hours prior to commencement, or Client will be charged the full amount of the booking or have its credit value deducted. All bookings will be invoiced at a minimum of one full hour and then in subsequent full-hour increments. An allotment of credits (to be used against hourly use of meeting rooms and open desk coworking) are available for purchase or included in some Service Plans. Credits are NOT transferable; Client or pre-identified Users must be present at all meetings. Overage will be charged at a rate of $18 per additional credit booked and not cancelled 48 or more hours prior to the start of the booking or used.
Network and Internet Connectivity: CloudVO or its Partners will provide Client with access to the internet in the form of a shared fiber gateway. The standard shared fiber connection is available for individual internet access for all Clients using secured VLANS for wired connectivity and standard WPA1/2 encrypted security for wireless. The service does NOT have a firewall, proxy server, or other preventative measures against outside intrusions. Client acknowledges that the standard internet access service is provided “as is.” Neither CloudVO nor its Partners may be held responsible for any security intrusions, damages, or faults that occur as a result of this service. CloudVO recommends that Client place the following protections on all computers connected to the service: automatic virus scanning software, installation of personal computer firewalls, shutting down computers when not in use for long periods of time, and unique ID and password for each computer.
Client may not use this service to publish, post, upload, distribute, or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic, name, material, or information on or through CloudVO’s or its Partners’ servers or bandwidth. Client may not upload any information, including images, photographs, video/film, software, content, or other material protected by intellectual property laws, including, by way of example but not as limitation, copyright or trademark laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless Client owns or controls the rights thereto or has received all necessary consent to do so. Client may not download any files that Client knows or reasonably should know cannot be legally reproduced, displayed, performed, and/or distributed in such a manner. Client may not use the services in any way to restrict or inhibit other Clients from using and enjoying the Services. CloudVO and its Partners are not responsible for any data, business, or other losses that result from interruption to the internet service provided for Client’s use. Client is responsible for protecting its own computers and data from electrical surges, theft, viruses, other malicious attacks, or network interruptions.
6. Monthly Fees:
Monthly Fees: As a matter of convenience, CloudVO will produce a monthly invoice, which will include all Client charges as of the first day of each month. Unless agreed to in advance, all clients must have a valid credit card on file or make ACH payment arrangements. CloudVO will run all credit card transactions on the 1st calendar day of the month. Client agrees that any errors or delays in billing for additional charges may be corrected by CloudVO at any time. Client will have 30 days to dispute any charge from the date of the first invoice with disputed item. All disputed charges must be submitted to CloudVO in writing. Client agrees to pay any amount not in dispute by the due date. CloudVO’s Partner location may, at the request of Client, provide individually requested services and may, at its discretion, charge Client for such services. Client understands that this will be a separate invoice negotiated directly with Client and in no way replaces the services provided for Client by CloudVO or its Partners as contracted in this Agreement and on the Client Summary.
Late Payment of Fees: Payment not made by close of business on 5th calendar day after the start of the Client’s billing cycle will result in a late fee of 10% of the contracted monthly fee.
Payment of Services and Termination of Virtual and Coworking Space Services in the Event of Default: If Client fails to pay CloudVO’s invoice by the 7th calendar day after the start of the Client’s billing cycle, all contract services and access will be discontinued and variable services will be denied, with or without notice.

Dedicated Space Subscription Client Default: If Client is more than ten (10) calendar days past due, CloudVO has the right to declare Client in default. If after three (3) working days from notification of default, full payment for invoiced charges has not been received, CloudVO may without further notice terminate all services provided under this Agreement, including, for avoidance of doubt, denying Client access to the Premises and/or Dedicated Space, turning off Call Answering and Phone Services and Returning Mail to sender. If any part of the invoice is disputed, Client must pay the amount not in dispute by the due date, or be subject to late fees. Any dispute must be in writing and submitted to CloudVO within 30-days of the due date indicated on the invoice.
Taxes: Client agrees to pay for all sales, use, and consumption taxes that CloudVO or its Partner is required to pay for via local tax regulations.
7. Manner of Use:

Client shall not conduct any activity via Mail, Phone, or on the Premises which is forbidden by law, hazardous, disruptive, or may invalidate or increase the premium of any insurance policy carried by CloudVO or its Partners. Client shall not conduct any activity which impairs the character, quiet enjoyment, reputation, appearance, or operation of the business. Client agrees to strictly adhere to the reasonable rules and regulations mandated by CloudVO, its Partners, and their landlords and staff. Client is responsible for ensuring that its personnel and guests conduct themselves in a business-like and professional manner at all times.

Damages to Premises: Client agrees not to damage, deface, or alter the offices, meeting rooms, common areas, furniture, furnishings, walls, ceilings, floors, or equipment, or otherwise improperly use the space. If CloudVO or its Partners are forced to make repairs due to Client’s use of the space due to the actions or behavior of the Client, its employees, or guests, Client will reimburse CloudVO for all costs associated with repair, over and above normal wear and tear.
Sexual Harassment and Discrimination: Client and its employees, agents, and guests will not engage in legally prohibited acts of sexual harassment to any of CloudVO’s or its Partners’ employees OR other Clients. Client and CloudVO agree to comply with all laws prohibiting discrimination based on a person’s sex, age, race, color, national origin, disability, and/or religion and similar statues.
Confidentiality: Client acknowledges that during its participation in the use of the Premises, Client may be exposed to Confidential Information of CloudVO, its Partners, and/or other Clients. “Confidential Information” shall mean all information, in whole or in part, that is nonpublic, confidential, or proprietary in nature.

8. Termination of Agreement:
Termination of Agreement: Client must give at least 30 days’ notice prior to the completion of the initially purchased term to cancel the subscription. If Client does not give notice, then Clients’ term will change to a rolling month-to-month Agreement. Timing of any notice for a month to month Agreement is at least 30 days. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing addressed to CloudVO via email at Support@CloudVO.com and requires acknowledgment of receipt. Agreements can only be cancelled upon the successful completion of the agreed-upon term. Because CloudVO provides discounted monthly rates for Clients with longer agreed-upon terms, Client understands that they are responsible for the full value of the term for which they agreed.
Dedicated Space Subscription: Either party can terminate or downgrade space and services as detailed in this Agreement and the incorporate Client Summary at the end of the initial term. If Client does not give notice, then Client’s term will change to a rolling month-to-month Agreement. Timing of any notice for a month-to-month Agreement is at least 30 days. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing addressed to CloudVO via email at Support@CloudVO.com and requires acknowledgment of receipt.
Holding Over: (Applicable only for Dedicated Space Clients) If Client does not surrender possession of the Dedicated Space(s) promptly upon termination of this Agreement and does not have written permission of CloudVO, Client shall pay CloudVO for each DAY of such possession one-fifteenth (1/15th) of the amount of the monthly office fee plus all costs, expenses, and damages sustained by CloudVO or its Partner as a result of such possession, and Client will continue to be bound by all the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Telephone Number and Mail Forward: Client acknowledges that the U.S. Postal Service will NOT accept a “Change of Address” request for any of CloudVO’s Clients. If Client requires transitional services for up to 6 months to coordinate once per month forwarding of mail and a phone number referral, please contact CloudVO support staff for arrangements. Client must be in good standing with CloudVO and understand that repackaging and forwarding mail and providing referring phone number information comes at a monthly cost. Client further understands that at the expiration of the transition term, irrespective of length, all mail will be marked “Return to Sender” and the phone number, if it is the property of CloudVO, may be assigned to another user. Once a number is released by the Client for non-payment or otherwise, there is no promise of retrieval.
Client’s Personal Property: Upon vacating the Premises, Client is expected to remove all personal property. Any personal property remaining on the Premises will be considered abandoned and will be disposed of, and costs of dispossession will be charged to Client. If dispossession includes the sale of said property, CloudVO nor its Partner has any obligation to the Client for any of the proceeds of the sale.

Client agrees to vacate the premises promptly and to leave the Dedicated Space in at least “broom clean” condition.
9. Service Deposits:
Service Deposits – Virtual Office and Open Coworking Subscription and Dedicated Desk Subscribers: CloudVO, by practice, waives an initial Service Deposit fee so long as payment is made via credit card. If Client’s credit card is declined for any reason and Client does not make alternative payment arrangements to ensure timely payment, in accordance with the “Payment of Fees” provision above, Client will be in default. If such default occurs, CloudVO may, in its discretion, request a refundable deposit to hold on the account, interest-free, until such time as this Agreement is terminated and Client has paid CloudVO in full.
Service Deposits – Dedicated Office Subscriptions: Client agrees to deposit with CloudVO funds equivalent to the first full month’s Monthly Fee, on behalf of CloudVO’s Partner, for advances made on Client’s behalf for a) all of its obligations, including services and rents, b) as security for full performance by Client of the terms set forth in this Agreement, c) for the repair or correction of damage to Client’s space, furnishings, and/or equipment beyond normal wear and tear. Under no circumstances may Client use the Service Deposit in lieu of the last monthly payment of fixed or variable charges.
Keys: Where applicable, Clients will be given the number of keys (including, if required, fobs, mail keys, and access keys) according to the number of prescribed Users. Any key which is lost or stolen must be reported to CloudVO immediately, and Client must pay the cost of replacement and re-keying, if necessary. Client shall not copy any key or allow anyone else to use them without CloudVO’s written consent. Client may be required to deposit with CloudVO a refundable deposit, which varies from location to location, to ensure the prompt return of all keys or access tools assigned to Users.
Return of Deposit: Subject to CloudVO’s rights under the preceding paragraph, the entire deposit, or any balance thereof, after final outstanding balances are assessed, shall be returned to Client within sixty (60) days after Client has terminated this Agreement, and, if applicable, completely vacated the Premises and/or surrendered all keys.

Client agrees that the withholding of services without the compliance with the provisions of any applicable unlawful detainer or eviction statute, which only governs the physical occupancy of the office(s), is inapplicable to other services such as telecommunications, reception services, network access, conference rooms, parking, etc. Client agrees that CloudVO and its Partners are incapable of mitigating damages for breach of this Service Agreement.
10. Miscellaneous Provisions:
Occupancy: Dedicated Space Clients agree that if Occupancy cannot be provided by CloudVO or its Partners, for any reason, by the commencement date as agreed in the Client Summary, neither CloudVO nor its Partner shall be liable for any damages, but rent shall not accrue until occupancy can be provided.
Relocation: Dedicated Space Clients agree that upon 30 days’ written notice, CloudVO may require Client to relocate to another office/desk space within the Premises. CloudVO and its Partner will make space available of approximately equal size (or larger) and similar configuration for the remainder of the term at a rate no greater than Client’s current Monthly Fees for the same number of Users.
Insurance: Client understands that neither CloudVO nor its Partners provide any insurance for Client’s benefit. Client agrees to insure, at its own expense, its personal property from all perils, and assumes all risk of loss with respect to its property and that of its employees, agents, and guests. Client agrees to endorse CloudVO AND its named Partner location as additional named insured on its policy.
Media Consent: From time to time, CloudVO and its Partners take videos and photos of the space, particularly during community events. These videos and photos may be posted to our respective websites and social media accounts. Users of the space expressly consent to the use of any photos or videos that include their likeness on CloudVO’s and its Partners’ websites and social media postings.
Waiver: Client acknowledges that due to the imperfect nature of verbal, written, and electronic communications and equipment, neither CloudVO nor its Partners shall be responsible for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the failure to furnish any service, including but not limited to the service of conveying messages, communications and internet connectivity, access systems, and other utilities or services described under this Agreement or agreed to by CloudVO or its Partners. This indemnification of liability includes any perceived loss of business, profits, or anticipated earnings resulting from or in connection with the Client’s use of CloudVO and its Partners’ services, including telephone, voicemail, phone answering, mail delivery or mail forwarding, internet and computer services, and access systems. Client’s sole remedy and CloudVO’s sole obligation for any failure to render any service, any error or omission, or any delay or interruption with respect thereto, is limited to an adjustment to Client’s billing in an amount equal to the charge for such service for the period during which the failure, delay, or interruption occurs or continues. Nonetheless, Client may terminate this Agreement by providing CloudVO with five (5) days advance written notice if CloudVO or its Partners’ services substantially cease to function for five (5) consecutive business days during the term of this Agreement unless Client is in default of this Agreement.
Further, except for loss or damage to Client’s property intentionally caused by CloudVO or its Partners’ agents or employees, Client, as a material consideration of this Agreement, waives all claims against CloudVO or its Partners for loss or damage to the Client’s property caused by fire, water, theft, or otherwise. Client understands that neither CloudVO nor its Partners provide any insurance for Client’s benefit.
Indemnify and Hold Harmless: Due to the imperfect nature of technology and verbal, written, mailed, or electronic communication, as well as mistakes by employees or associates, or due to strike, Force Majeure, or other unforeseen occurrences, Client agrees that CloudVO is free from all liability for claims for damages by any reason barring willful misconduct on behalf of CloudVO or its agents or employees. This indemnification of liability includes any perceived loss of business, profits, or anticipated earnings resulting from or in connection with Client’s use of CloudVO or its Partners’ services including telephone, voicemail, phone answering, mail delivery or mail forwarding, internet and computer services, access systems, or any Partner center specific services. Client agrees that CloudVO and its Partners are free from all liability for claims for damages by reason of injury to any person, or loss, or damage to any property from any cause while in, upon, or in any way connected with the facilities of CloudVO’s Partners. Client agrees that CloudVO and its Partners are free from all liability, loss, cost, or obligations resulting from any such injuries or losses, however occurring.
Limitation of Liability: Neither CloudVO nor its Partners shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, multiple, or consequential damages resulting from Client’s use of or inability to use the space or services, or for cost of procurement or substitute goods and services, or resulting from any products or services purchased or obtained through the site including loss of profits, use, data, or intangible property, even if CloudVO or its Partners have been advised of the possibility of such damages. The entire liability of CloudVO, and Client’s exclusive remedy with respect to the use of the site and Services, are limited to the lesser of 1) the amount paid by Client for the Services during the three (3) months preceding the date of any claim made by Client, or 2) $500.00 (US), whichever is less. Acceptance of this Agreement by Client releases CloudVO and its Partner from any obligations, liabilities and/or claims in excess of this limitation.
Attorney’s Fees: If either party breaches any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, the breaching party shall pay the other party’s reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under this Agreement.
CloudVO’s and Partners’ Employees: Client agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for six (6) months after termination, neither Client nor any affiliate of Client shall solicit for hire anyone who is or has been an employee of CloudVO or its Partners during the term of Client’s Agreement or accept compensation in connection with the employment of CloudVO’s or its Partners’ employees. Client may generally recruit in the media and may hire an employee who answers an advertisement without having been personally solicited or recruited by the Client.
Right of Entry: Dedicated Space Clients agree that CloudVO’s Partner center staff shall have the right to enter Client’s Dedicated Space(s) in the following circumstances: a) in the case of emergency, b) upon reasonable advanced notice to Client for cleaning, to make repairs, or to exhibit the office(s) to potential Clients, and c) to supply services requested by Client.
Rules and Regulations: Client agrees to comply with the normal rules and regulations imposed upon CloudVO and its Partners which may be driven by requirement of a Master Lease or by norms dictated by the use of the space, of which amendments may be required from time to time, for which Client will be notified in writing. If applicable and required by a specific Partner location, Client agrees to accept and sign acknowledgment of specific Premises-based Rules and Regulations as may vary from location to location.
Master Lease: Client acknowledges that this Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to the Lease under which CloudVO’s Partners may hold possession of the Premises.

Assignment and Subletting: Client’s interest under this Agreement may not be encumbered or assigned, in whole or part, either by act of Client or by operation of law, without the express written consent of CloudVO. In the absence of written consent, any purported encumbrance, assignment, or sublease by Client shall not be binding on CloudVO.
Time is of the Essence: The timing provisions contained in this Agreement constitute a material part of the Agreement.
Applicable Law: The Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, where CloudVO has its principal place of business. This instrument and all documents incorporated by reference contains the entire Agreement of the parties.
