Thank you for using Popable!

Popable.com (the “Site”) is owned and operated by Temporary Spaces LLC, a Texas limited liability company (hereafter referred to as “Popable”, “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”). We have developed an online marketplace to connect commercial real estate space owners (“Space Owner”) and brands seeking to open pop-up shops (“Brands”) and facilitate short-term licenses between Space Owners and Brands so Brands can operate pop-up shops or hold events at Space Owner’s space (“Space”). Popable is merely the introducer of these relationships and does not set or negotiate the terms between a Space Owner and a Brand. Popable, and the Site, merely serve as a resource for Brands and Space Owners to connect. Space Owners and Brands who connect on the Site will agree on the commercial space and the basic terms of use.

As the provider of the Popable Platform, Popable does not own, control, offer or manage any Listings or rent services. Popable is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Spaces and Brands, nor is Popable a real estate broker or insurer. 

All payments, subscription fees, and payments for services, if applicable, will be processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe.

The terms and conditions of this agreement (“Agreement”) apply to your use of the Site to list Spaces, Brands, Markets, or other services through our Site or other applications (collectively, the “Platform”). This Agreement sets forth the duties and obligations between you and the Company, and between you and other users of the Site (“Users”).

Should you choose not to allow such co-marketing, you can opt-out by contacting [email protected].
3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
   In order to use the Platform and Services, you are required to comply with all Laws applicable to your use of Space, Services, Platform, and Vendor Services. Information contained on the Platform may assist you with legal compliance; however, Popable does not provide legal advice and you are responsible for your compliance with all applicable Laws. If you have questions regarding how to comply with Laws in connection with Listing or leasing a Space, you should seek legal advice.
4. COVENANT AGAINST CIRCUMVENTION.
   By using the Platform and Services, you agree that you shall not circumvent the purpose of this Agreement by engaging in communications with other listed parties without an active paid subscription to the Platform. Nevertheless, this does not preclude you from leasing your space to any other parties that were procured through an alternative medium outside of the Popable platform. This restriction shall survive termination of this Agreement and the closing of your Account for a period of twelve months thereafter. Should you breach this covenant, you agree that Popable would be damaged and suffer lost profits that would be hard to estimate. Therefore, you agree and acknowledge that Popable may hold you responsible for liquidated damages equal to three (3) times the total amount Popable would have been entitled to have the related Listings remained active through the Platform and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, which amount shall be due immediately upon said breach. Popable may hold Space Owners and Brands jointly and severally liable for such liquidated damages based upon Popable’s determination of the circumstances and conduct of the parties.

Each Space Owner is responsible for determining applicable taxes and for including any applicable taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable taxes in their Listings.
2. As a Space Owner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of your employees, contractors, agents, and invitees.

You may send any legal notices to us at Popable, 945 McKinney #11184, Houston, Texas 77002. Any email notice from us is considered accepted by you one day after such notice was sent and will have the same legal effect as if it were physically delivered to you.

(d) Dispute Resolution. You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of this Agreement or any lease agreement entered into between a Space Owner and Brand, any agreement for the purchase or provision of Vendor Services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, or the use of Services (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration as set forth below, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's intellectual property rights.

You acknowledge and agree that you and Popable are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding.

(e) Arbitration Rules.
i. A Dispute shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement with respect to any Dispute. You and Popable expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

A party who desired to commence an arbitration proceeding must provide the other party or parties with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules (defined below). You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA's website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. You are responsible for all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Popable, or a Space Owner or Brand or Vendor submit to the arbitrator unless you request a hearing, or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

(f) Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section below as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Popable hereby reserves all its rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration. Popable will seek recovery of attorneys' fees and expenses if your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
