United Kingdom (UK) Schedule

This United Kingdom Schedule ("Schedule") forms part of the anyspaces.com Global Bookers Agreement ("Agreement"). This Schedule applies only to bookings where the Booker (Licensee) is located in the United Kingdom.

1. Governing Law & Jurisdiction (United Kingdom)

This Agreement and any applicable disputes are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Disputes relating to this Agreement or its subject matter shall be brought exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.

Each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales in respect of any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including any dispute regarding existence, validity, or enforcement), and waives any objection to proceedings on the grounds of venue or inconvenient forum.

If the Venue is in Scotland or Northern Ireland, disputes may (at the election of the party bringing the dispute) be brought in the courts of those respective jurisdictions, which shall have exclusive or non-exclusive jurisdiction as appropriate.

2. Taxation (United Kingdom)

All fees, charges, and service fees are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) unless expressly stated otherwise.

If a party is VAT-registered, it will add VAT to any chargeable fee or service at the applicable rate in force at the time of supply.

The Booker is responsible for meeting all their own tax obligations in accordance with UK tax requirements (including income tax and VAT, where applicable).

3. Insurance (United Kingdom)

Bookers are strongly encouraged (and, where relevant, may be required) to take out appropriate UK insurance cover for the occupation and use of a Venue.

The platform does not provide:

• Insurance coverage for bookings, liabilities, property damage, or personal injury;
• Legal advice about what level of coverage is appropriate or required (this should be obtained from an insurer or an independent insurance advisor);
• Any compensation or liability cover for loss, cancellation, curtailment, or other events that may give rise to an insurance claim.

Bookers should obtain their own insurance to protect themselves against risks, including (but not limited to) property damage, public liability, professional indemnity, or cancellation/curtailment losses, as appropriate under UK law (and as required by any lease, landlord, or Venue operator).

4. Compliance with United Kingdom Law

The Booker must comply with all applicable UK laws, regulations, and requirements, including but not limited to:

• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and associated regulations and guidance;
• Building Regulations 2010 (as amended) and the Building Safety Act 2022;
• Fire Safety Orders (England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, as applicable);
• Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (where applicable);
• Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR (in relation to any personal data processed);
• Equality Act 2010 (ensuring no discrimination on any protected characteristic).

5. Retail Leases Acknowledgement (United Kingdom)

If the use involves a business use recognized under UK retail or commercial lease law:

• The Booker will acknowledge and agree that their booking or use of the Venue may create lease or occupancy-like rights that are recognized under UK law;
• Any terms relating to tenancy or leasing obligations (including those under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 or related UK legislation) may apply.

If the Booker's short-term use does not constitute or resemble a lease, retail or long-term lease-related regulations (such as security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954) may not apply. However, short-term bookings made through the platform still remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6. Workers, Contractors & Deductions

If the Booker is responsible for arranging staff, contractors, or other personnel:

• They must comply with UK employment law, health and safety law, and tax obligations (PAYE, National Insurance, etc.);
• The Booker must comply with applicable safety, health, and behavioural standards;
• The platform will not make deductions for workers/contractors; this is the Booker's responsibility to manage and account for in line with relevant standards (as well as tax and National Insurance contributions).

7. Termination & Enforcement (United Kingdom)

Either party may terminate the booking in accordance with the termination provisions of the Agreement (including for breach, non-compliance, or as otherwise permitted).

In addition to termination rights set out in the Agreement:

• The Booker may only claim refunds in accordance with the cancellation and refund policy set out in the Agreement (or as required by UK consumer protection law, if and to the extent that policy conflicts with mandatory consumer rights);
• If the Lister cancels or withdraws the booking improperly, the Booker may be entitled to remedies under the Agreement, subject to the limitations on liability set out elsewhere in the Agreement and subject to mandatory consumer rights (if applicable).

Termination or cancellation does not affect or limit any accrued rights or obligations on either party.

If enforceability is challenged:

• Either party may apply to the courts of England and Wales (or other UK jurisdiction) for appropriate relief, including a declaration or enforcement of an award or remedy;
• Any judgment or arbitration award may be recognized and enforced in UK courts (or other appropriate forums for cross-border enforcement, as applicable, under the laws and rules governing recognition and enforcement in those jurisdictions).

Where necessary, either party may also seek injunctive or similar equitable relief under the authority of the UK courts, or other appropriate courts with the appropriate jurisdiction to hear disputes arising out of, or in connection with, the terms of the Agreement and this Schedule.

8. Local Authority Directions

If the Booker or the Venue becomes the subject of a local authority or regulatory body action, compliance notice, enforcement order, or emergency directive, they must:

• Immediately inform the platform and the other party to the booking;
• Take prompt and reasonable steps to comply with any directions or orders as they arise (for example, under the Building Act or the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974).

The platform reserves the right to suspend or terminate listings (or bookings) that are the subject of any such order that prevents safe, lawful use of the Venue as originally intended.

9. Definitions (United Kingdom)

In this schedule:

• VAT means Value Added Tax under the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (as amended);
• GBP means Pound Sterling (the official currency of the United Kingdom);
• United Kingdom Law refers to statutes and jurisdiction rules that govern in the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, as applicable).

Executions & Application

This Schedule applies automatically to any booking where the Booker (user) is located in the United Kingdom or where the Venue is located in the United Kingdom. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Schedule and the main Bookers Agreement, this Schedule prevails for United Kingdom-related bookings.

Where there are no inconsistencies or additions, the terms of the main Bookers Agreement also apply as written without modification.
