Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 25, 2023

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”).

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES WAIVERS OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS, AND PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE VENUE FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES.

You may not offer Space to Users if such Space is not listed on the Platform.

  1. Users agree to only use the Platform for legitimate Listing(s) and communications. Use of the Platform to conduct communications outside the Platform, steal Listing data, or contact details with intent to circumvent the Platform’s purpose or intended use, is not valid and may result in suspension or termination of your Account or fines.

iii. Users may not use or misuse Content from the Platform. Content may only be used as permitted by this Agreement. You may not compile or use information about our other Users that is not publicly displayed in search results, such as names, phone numbers, physical addresses, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable Content.

  1. The Platform is meant for Space Owners, Brands, and Markets to list and offer Vendor Services, if available. You are not permitted to use the Platform to promote products or services other than your Space, if a Space Owner, other than your product or services, if you are a Brand, or other than Vendor Services if you are a Vendor, or your market, festival, or event if you are a Market. Sending unwanted messages or spam is prohibited.
  2. No User may discriminate against other Users.

If we believe that you are discriminating against another User, we may suspend or terminate your Account immediately.
  3. No User may encourage or endorse illegal activities or behavior that we, in our sole discretion, deem to be dangerous. You may not post Content that endorses or promotes illegal or harmful activities that we, in our sole discretion deem to be harmful, including obscene content or encouraging activity that may lead to other Users’ harm.

vii. You may not harm, intimidate, or threaten Users or interfere with their use or operation of the Platform, including threatening legal action and posting unwarranted negative reviews.

To the extent that you disclose personal information on any public forum hosted by Popable, you do so at your own risk and Popable shall not bear any responsibility. You may also not post any details about an ongoing dispute between you and another User or you and the Company or make any defamatory comments about any other User or the Company.

  2. You also agree that by Listing through the Platform, Popable may market your Space, event, products, and/or Brand, Markets, or Vendor Service through the Platform on social media accounts, email, or through the Site. 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.

Space Owner and Brand acknowledge that all lease payments are made directly with the Space Owner. 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.

Popable disclaims all responsibility for any liability resulting from Vendors’ actions and omissions, for the type or quality of any Vendor Services, and for any loss or injury you or others incur arising out of or related to Vendor Services. Popable may be paid compensation by one or more Vendors in connection with the provision to you of Vendor Services.

(c) Lease Agreements. Popable suggests that for all leases, Space Owners and Brands enter into a lease agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Brand’s use of a Space.

You are responsible for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in connection with recovering Fees, or fines from you. Payments that are more than seven (7) days late may incur a late charge of up to ten percent (10%) and accumulate interest of ten percent (10%) per month (or the maximum permitted by law) until the delinquency is resolved, at our discretion.

Any failure to promptly respond to communications from Popable may impact your ability to list, and use the Platform or Services. 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.
