Growthspace Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms“) are entered into between GrowthSpace Inc. (“Growth Space“) and the customer accepts these Terms (“Customer“) as of the date of Customer’s acceptance of these Terms (“Effective Date“), including by way of execution of a Statement of Work (“SOW“) or other written confirmation (including via email) referencing these Terms. These Terms, together with any SOW or written confirmation (together, the “Agreement“), set forth the terms under which Customer may use Growth Space’s coaching platform (“Platform“) and the services thereon.

1. Services. During the Term and subject to the terms of hereof, Growth Space shall provide Customer with access to the Platform through which Customer’s employees (“Employees“) can register to receive certain services, such as coaching sessions, lectures, or workshops (“Sessions“) from qualified experts, coaches, mentors, lecturers, or consultants (“Experts“) and Customer shall receive certain information such as analytics based on the Sessions and use of the Platform, all as further described in the SOW or other written agreement (“Services“).
2. Employee Registration. Employees (and Internal Mentors, if applicable) may register through a link sent by Customer OR may be registered by Growth Space based on information provided by Customer. Customer represents that it has provided all notices and has obtained all necessary consents required under applicable law to (i) if applicable, use Internal Mentors to provide Sessions and related services; and (ii) to provide any personal data of Employees to Growth Space and to allow Growth Space to process and share such data with the relevant Experts all as detailed in Growth Space’s Privacy Notice and shall ensure that a record of such consents is maintained, all as required under applicable law.
3. Internal Customer Mentors. Customer may request to onboard and use Customer’s Experts via the Platform, who are full-time employees of Customer, to provide Sessions to Employees, as further detailed in the SOW (“Internal Mentors”). Any Sessions or other services provided by Internal Mentors are the sole responsibility of the Customer and its Internal Mentors and are not considered Growth Space Services.  Internal Mentors shall be obligated by GrowthSpace’s Internal Mentors terms (including without limitation, obligations regarding confidentiality, privacy, use of the Platform, receiving training and other services from Growth Space) and Customer shall remain liable for its Internal Mentors. Internal Mentors shall not be considered as providing services to GrowthSpace, and Growth Space shall have no obligation to pay Internal Mentors. 
4. Fees. Customer shall pay Growth Space the fees set out in the SOW or agreed via email per the agreed payment terms. All amounts payable are exclusive of applicable VAT and taxes, and Customer pays Growth Space without deduction for and free and clear of any such amounts. Fees for one-on-one coaching or mentorship Sessions are based on scheduled Sessions (including for Internal Mentors, if applicable) regardless of whether the Employee participates, unless the Employee provides written notice (including via email) of cancellation to the Expert at least 24 hours in advance. Fees for group Sessions are based on scheduled Sessions regardless of whether they occur in practice unless Customer has canceled the Session following the preparatory session or at least three days in advance of when such Session was scheduled to take place. If an Employee requests to switch from the assigned Expert, fees in respect of the Session conducted with the initially assigned Expert shall still be payable.
