Grand Central - Terms of Use.

1. Accepting these terms We (Malta Office Services Limited, trading as Grand Central) provide our services to you under these terms of use (these terms). We may update these terms at any time without giving you notice. By filling in the membership application or using any of our services, you are accepting these terms. You confirm that you have the authority to accept these terms and do not need further authorization or approval. If there is any difference between these terms and a lease agreement between you and us, the lease agreement will take priority.
2. Our services The services we provide are described on our website at www.GrandCentral.com.mt. We may also provide other services from time to time.
3. Signing up for our services On your first visit, you must provide a valid passport or ID card. We will scan this and store the scanned copy securely for six years after your contract with us ends, or for the length of time set by law. If your passport or ID document expires during your membership, you must provide a valid alternative.
4. Using our services You agree that when using our services, you will not: • break any laws or regulations that apply • use our services in any way that could damage, disable, overburden or reduce the effectiveness of any service • make it difficult for any other person to use or enjoy our services, or • break these terms or any other guidelines which may apply for any particular service.
5. Building rules a. When you sign up for our services, we will give you a prepaid licence to use the facilities we provide (for example, Wi-Fi, printers, lounge, kitchen, roof terrace and meeting rooms), on a monthly or casual basis. Signing up for our services does not create a tenancy. b. You must not sublet space or resell, share or give away any services. c. You must not disturb the peace and normal use of the building at any time or damage the building or its fixtures, fittings, decor and furnishings. If you do cause any damage, you must pay the cost of repairing this. d. You must not do anything that puts the building at risk or reduces its protection from fire, flood, gas, electricity or weather conditions. e. You must not do anything that reduces the security of the building or the spaces in it, and must take all reasonable measures to protect our buildings, the people in our buildings and their belongings. You must never disable security locks or leave them in an open position, and external doors should never be propped open while unattended. f. You are responsible for your guests and for making sure that they follow these terms of use.
6. Keyholders’ responsibilities a. A keyholder is any person who has a key, pass or fob to any of our buildings. As a keyholder, you acknowledge and accept responsibility for the security of the doors and spaces you have access to. You must secure the building when you leave the premises after 6pm on weekdays or at any time at the weekend or on public holidays. b. You are responsible for the cost of replacing any keys, passes or fobs that you lose.
7. Using our services You acknowledge that you have decided to use our services at your own free will. We do not have any liability relating to you accessing or using our services, or for any loss of information that results from this.

8. Disclaimer
   As far as is allowed by law, we provide the services ‘as is’. However, we will try to fix any faults. We disclaim all guarantees and conditions relating to the services. This includes, but is not limited to, any guarantees, duties or conditions relating to items being in an acceptable condition, fit for a particular purpose, free from viruses, accurate or complete. Also, there is no guarantee, duty or condition of ownership, quiet enjoyment or quiet possession. You accept all risk relating to the quality of the services you receive from us, and all risks arising out of using our services.
9. No liability for incidental, consequential and certain other damages As far as is allowed by law, we (and our subsidiaries, and our and their past, present and future officers, agents, shareholders, members, representatives, employees, and anyone who takes over our or their business) will not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damages arising out of or in any way related to using or not being able to use our services, providing or failing to provide our services, or otherwise under or in connection with these terms, even if we are at fault or have been told of the possibility of the damages. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of confidential or other information, business interruption, personal injury, loss of privacy, failure to meet any duty (including a duty to act in good faith or take reasonable care), negligence, and any other financial or other loss. Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow organisations to exclude or limit their liability for indirect or consequential damages, the above limit may not apply to you.
10. Limiting our liability Despite what we tell you in clause 9 above, our liability (and the liability of our subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions, and our and their past, present and future officers, agents, shareholders, members, representatives, employees, and anyone who takes over our or their business) for any damages you suffer, for any reason, is limited to the actual damages, up to 10 euro. The limits, exclusions and disclaimers set out earlier in these terms will apply as far as is allowed by law.
11. Ending your membership a. We have the right to stop providing any service at any time. b. We may end your membership immediately, without notice, if you break these terms. c. Either you or we can end your membership by giving the other 30 days’ notice. d. If you owe us any money when your membership ends, we can sell any items you have left in our building to cover all or part of the amount owed. We will wait at least 30 days from the date your membership ends to do this, and we do not have to make sure we get the best price for any items we sell. e. If there is any balance on your account when your membership ends, we will refund this to you within 28 days of the date your membership ends. f. Within 30 days of your membership ending you must tell all third parties to remove our address from their records (if this applies). For example, if you have registered a company at this address, you must give the Malta Business Registry your new address. After 30 days we might write to any third parties to tell them about this change, or we may mark any mail we receive for you as ‘addressee unknown’ and return it to the sender.
12. Indemnification You agree to indemnify (compensate), defend and protect us (and our subsidiaries, and our and their past, present and future officers, agents, shareholders, members, representatives, employees, and anyone who takes over our or their business) from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, judgments, fines and penalties based on or arising out of you using our services. You also agree that if you bring a claim or lawsuit against us (which is not allowed under these terms), you will be liable for any attorneys’ fees and costs that we and our officers and agents have in connection with defending that claim or lawsuit.
13. Each clause applying separately If any condition (or part of a condition) in these terms is not valid or legal, or cannot be enforced for any reason, this will not affect the other conditions, which will continue to apply as far as is allowed by law.
14. Insurance We have public liability insurance. We strongly suggest that you take out an insurance policy to cover you and your belongings while you are using our services, although you do not have to do this.
15. Late payments You must pay for our services by the due date shown on our invoice. Interest will be calculated daily on any overdue amount. The interest rate will be the maximum allowed by law above the base rate, as set by the Central Bank of Malta.
16. Law This agreement is governed by, and will be interpreted in line with, Maltese law.

By filling in the membership application, I acknowledge that I have read and understood all of these terms of use and agree to keep to them.
