Table of Contents
The deskbird Platform is an online marketplace that enables owners and/or operators of Workspaces (“Workspace Partners”) that offer flexible desks, meeting rooms and individual offices (collectively “Workspaces”) and services included therein (e.g. cleaning, free beverages etc.) to publish such Workspaces on the deskbird Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with registered users that are seeking to book such Workspaces (“Users”). The listing of Workspaces by Workspace Partners, and access to and booking of Workspaces by Users is completed through the deskbird dashboard on the Site or Mobile Application and requires registration for an account (as described in “Account Registration” below).
As the provider of the deskbird Platform, deskbird does not own, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, or supply any Listings or Workspaces. Workspace Partners alone are responsible for their Listings. When Users and Workspace Partners make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. deskbird is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Users and Workspace Partners, nor is deskbird a real estate broker or insurer. deskbird is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any User or Workspace Partner, except as specified under section 4.4 “Brokerage Fees and Commissions”. Should a court or a tribunal rule that deskbird is a party or other participant in any contractual relationship between the User and the Workspace Partner, deskbird transfers all rights of complaint to the User or Workspace Partner in question.
Both Users and Workspace Partners may submit feedback to the deskbird Platform following the completion of a Workspace booking. You acknowledge and agree that other Users may publicly post ratings and reviews of you, and that deskbird may, but is not obligated to, monitor such postings. deskbird is not responsible in any manner for such ratings and reviews, and you hereby release deskbird from any and all claims, causes of actions, obligations or liabilities arising from or relating to such ratings and reviews.
If you choose to use the deskbird Platform as a Workspace Partner your relationship with deskbird is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of deskbird for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of deskbird. deskbird does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Workspaces. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list Workspaces or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.
The deskbird Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. deskbird is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by deskbird of such Third-Party Services.
Due to the nature of the Internet, deskbird cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the deskbird Platform. deskbird may restrict the availability of the deskbird Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the deskbird Platform. deskbird may improve, enhance and modify the deskbird Platform and introduce new deskbird Services from time to time.
In order to access and use the deskbird Platform or register a deskbird Account you must be an individual at least 18 years old or a duly organized, validly existing business, organization or other legal entity in good standing under the laws of the country you are established and able to enter into legally binding contracts.
deskbird may make access to and use of the deskbird Platform, or certain areas or features of the deskbird Platform, subject to certain conditions or requirements, such as completing a verification process, meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria, meeting Ratings or Reviews thresholds, or a User’s booking and cancellation history.
The access to or use of certain areas and features of the deskbird Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions, before you can access the relevant areas or features of the deskbird Platform. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the deskbird Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise in the latter terms and conditions.
In order to use certain features of the Service, such as publishing or booking a Listing, you must register for an account (“deskbird Account”) and provide information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information;
As a User, you can register a deskbird Account using an email address and creating a password, or through your account with certain third-party social networking services, such as Facebook or Google (“SNS Account“). You have the ability to disable the connection between your deskbird Account and your SNS Account at any time.
If you are registering a deskbird Account for a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant deskbird all permissions and licenses provided in these Terms. A company or entity member is responsible for the compliance of each of its individual members (e.g., its employees, contractors, and other service providers).
Each individual User may not register more than one deskbird Account unless deskbird authorizes you to do so. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your deskbird Account to another party.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your deskbird Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your deskbird Account. You agree to immediately notify deskbird of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your deskbird Account or any other breach of security. No third party is authorized by deskbird to ask for your credentials, and you shall not request the credentials of another User or Workspace Partner. deskbird cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
You may delete your deskbird Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on our Site or within the Mobile Application. deskbird may terminate or suspend your deskbird Account in accordance with “Termination and Suspension” below.

deskbird declares its agreement to:
4.3 Responsibilities of the Workspace Partner
The Workspace Partner declares their agreement to:
4.4 Commissions
When a User books Workspaces of the Workspace Partner via the deskbird Platform, deskbird charges the following commissions depending on the total turnover of a User and depending on the type of the Workspace booked at the partner in one calendar month (commission includes external fees and costs for the deskbird tree planting program; excluding reverse charge fees): 15% for short-term bookings (
The payment to the Workspace Partner for each calendar month shall be transferred by deskbird to the account specified by the Workspace Partner by the fifteenth day of the following calendar month (or on the working day after the fifteenth if the fifteenth falls on a weekend or public holiday). The Workspace Partner is responsible for keeping their account information, including bank account details, up to date whereby all updates must be reported to deskbird.
deskbird will pay the Workspace Partner whenever the corresponding amount is paid by the User (or the company for Corporate Customers), whereby deskbird takes over the reminder for the Workspace Partner regarding due payments. If the User does not settle their debt up to three months after the due date, the partner can collect the claim directly from the User. The default risk is borne by the partner.
deskbird reserves the right, at its own discretion, to refuse payment to the Workspace Partner or to retain a part of it in case of suspicion of misuse of the deskbird Platform or the violation these Terms, provided that such retention is not contrary to the principle of good faith (Art. 2 para. 1 Swiss Civil Code).
deskbird acts as a limited payment service provider for the Workspace Partner. deskbird carries out payments to the Workspace Partner consisting of sums being collected by deskbird from the Users on behalf of the Workspace Partner.
4.5 Intellectual Property
The Workspace Partner grants deskbird a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, edit, reproduce and display trademarks, photographs or other material of the Workspace Partner provided by the Partner in connection with the deskbird Platform and all promotional activities (“Partner IP”).
The Workspace Partner may use the name, logo and other intellectual property of deskbird with the prior consent of deskbird, provided that the relevant guidelines provided by deskbird in the current version are followed.
The parties reserve the right to revoke and restrict this consent at any time.
deskbird is the exclusive owner of all rights, titles and interests in all anonymized and aggregated usage data generated in connection with these terms.
4.6 Representations, Warranties and Guarantees
Each party shall be liable without limitation for intentional, grossly negligent or fraudulent acts it committed or for which it is responsible due to its legal representatives and vicarious agents. This provision applies for bodily injury and damage to health, for the breach of given guarantees and warranties and in any case in which the limitation of liability is expressly prohibited by law.
Each party shall also be liable for the slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations which make the performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the other party may regularly rely (“cardinal obligations”). The liability of a party for the breach of cardinal obligations is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage and may not exceed the total amount of the payments made by the Workspace Partner during the last six (6) months.
The liability of one of the parties towards the other party beyond the above mentioned liability is excluded.
The liability provisions above shall also apply to non-contractual claims raised against deskbird, its executives, legal representatives, employees or staff members.
4.7 Release from Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the parties agree to release, defend (at the other Party’s option), indemnify, and hold the other Party and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including but not limited to, their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) the Party’s breach of these Terms, (ii) the improper use of the deskbird Platform, (iii) the interaction with any User, its booking of a Listing, and the use of the Workspace including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, booking or use, (iv) the breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.
4.8 Severability Clause
Should individual provisions of these terms of use be or become invalid or void, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In this case, the ineffective or void provision shall be replaced by a new, legally permissible provision which comes closest to the ineffective or void provision in its economic meaning and effect. The same procedure shall apply if a gap in the contract becomes apparent.
4.9 Miscellaneous
Each party and its respective affiliates shall be responsible for paying all taxes for which that party or its affiliates are assessed under applicable laws in connection with these Terms.
Each Party (in its capacity as the “Receiver”) shall maintain confidentiality and shall refrain from disclosing to third parties or using (except as expressly permitted by these Terms) any technology, software or business or technical information (“Confidential Information”) received from the other Party (“Disclosing Party”).
If a Guest (as defined below) cancels a confirmed booking or deskbird determines that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and such cancellation necessitates a refund to the Guest in accordance with these Terms, the Workspace Partner agrees if the Workspace Partner has already received payment for such booking, deskbird will be entitled to recover the amount of such refund from Workspace Partner, including by offsetting such refund amount out from any future payments due to the Workspace Partner.
These Terms of Use and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Swiss substantive law. The parties expressly agree that the courts of St. Gallen shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms (including non-contractual agreements).
Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any loss or damage caused by force majeure.
Neither of these Terms nor the obligations contained herein may be assigned or transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, whereby consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that deskbird may assign these Terms in their entirety to a purchaser of all or a substantial part of its business or assets or to a subsidiary or other affiliated company even without the prior consent of the Workspace Partner, provided that deskbird has a legitimate interest in the transfer and the new company offers at least the same guarantees for the performance of the contractual obligations.
Users may purchase access to a Workspace or a membership through the deskbird Platform. Details about purchasing access to a Workspace and/or a membership are available on the Site or the Mobile Application. When a User completes a booking for a Workspace (thus becoming a “Guest”), the Guest agrees to pay the applicable fees and charges and other pricing terms applicable to your use of the deskbird Platform as specified in these Terms and as otherwise communicated to you through the deskbird Platform, including any applicable fees and service charges. All fees and charges paid by Users in connection with the deskbird Platform are non-refundable, except as expressly stated in these Terms. Furthermore, by becoming a Guest, the User agrees to the terms and conditions set forth by the Workspace Partner that he booked the Workspace from.
Use of the deskbird Platform and all Workspaces by Guests is governed by our Guest Code of Conduct.
deskbird reserves the right to change its pricing and access options for Workspaces in its sole discretion.
deskbird has no control over and does not guarantee (a) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Workspace; (b) the accuracy of any Workspace listing, ratings, reviews, or other User Content (as defined below); or (c) the performance or conduct of any User and/or third party. deskbird does not endorse any User, Guests, Workspace Partners, or Workspaces. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to accept a booking request from a User, use a Workspace, or communicate and interact with other Users, whether online or in person.
Workspace Partners and Guests are responsible for any changes to a booking that they make through the deskbird Platform or direct deskbird customer service, including payment of any additional fees, services charges, and/or taxes associated with such changes.
Guests can cancel an accepted reservation and booking at any time. If a Guest cancels an accepted booking at least 24 hours in advance, deskbird will refund any applicable fees. If a Guest cancels an accepted booking less than 24 hours in advance, there will be no refund of applicable fees.
If a Workspace Partner cancels a confirmed booking, the Guest will receive a full refund of applicable fees for such booking within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. In some instances, deskbird may allow the Guest to apply the refund to a new booking, in which case deskbird will credit the amount against the Guest’s subsequent booking at the Guest’s direction.
In certain circumstances, deskbird may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking and make an appropriate refund. In such circumstances, the Guest will receive a full refund of applicable fees for such booking.
Within a certain timeframe after completing a booking, Guests and Workspace Partners can leave a public review and submit a rating about the other party. Ratings and reviews by Guests and Workspace Partners must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language. Ratings and reviews must specifically adhere to “Prohibited Activities” set forth below.
Users are prohibited from manipulating the ratings and reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative review about a Guest or Workspace Partner.
Ratings and reviews reflect the opinions of individual Guests and Workspace Partners and do not reflect the opinion of deskbird. Ratings and reviews are not verified by deskbird for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
deskbird may, in its sole discretion, enable Users to (a) create, upload, post, send, receive and store content, such as text, photos, audio, video, or other materials and information on or through the deskbird Platform (“User Content”); and (b) access and view User Content and any content that deskbird itself makes available on or through the deskbird Platform, including proprietary deskbird content and any content licensed or authorized for use by or through deskbird from a third party (“deskbird Content”) (together, deskbird Content and User Content shall be referred to “Collective Content”).

If you believe that one of our users is, through the use of our Service, unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information in the form of a written notification must be provided to us:
Please note that any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

You agree that any report you make will not obligate us to take any action (beyond that required by law, if any).
These Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the deskbird Platform. We may suspend or terminate these Terms and your right to use the deskbird Platform at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the deskbird Platform in violation of these Terms.

If your access to or use of the deskbird Platform has been limited or your deskbird Account has been suspended or terminated by us, you may not register a new deskbird Account or access and use the deskbird Platform through a deskbird Account of another User.
Guests hereby unconditionally release deskbird from any loss, liability, claim, demand, damage, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which you now have of have ever had against deskbird relating in any way to your use of the deskbird Platform, including but not limited to your use of a Workspace and/or interaction with a Workspace Partner through the deskbird Platform.

THE DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

You should be aware that other users, guests, and workspace partners may not be who they claim to be. We do not perform background checks on our users, guests, or workspace partners, nor do we guarantee that our users, guests, or workspace partners’ profiles or account information is accurate.

The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between deskbird and you.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

The same procedure shall be followed if a contractual gap becomes apparent.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.
