Collective Member: a Member admitted to the Collective tier by invitation of HOC.
Contracting Party: the person or entity that enters into these Terms and is responsible for payment of the Membership Fee. Where the Member is contracting in their own name (including as a sole trader or self-employed individual), the Contracting Party and the Member are the same person.

2 MEMBERSHIP AND APPLICATION
2.1 Membership is a personal licence granted to the named Member to access and use the House. It does not create a tenancy, lease or any exclusive right to occupy any specific space within the House.
2.2 An application for membership does not guarantee acceptance. HOC may decline any application at any tier without giving reasons.
2.3 All membership applications must be submitted via the sign-up process set out by HOC. Studio and House tier applications are additionally subject to approval by HOC before membership is confirmed. The Collective tier is invite-only. No Member may access the House at any tier before their membership has been confirmed by HOC and the first Membership Fee received.
2.4 Membership is confirmed only when HOC has received the signed Order Form from the Contracting Party and the first Membership Fee payment.
2.5 Personal to named Member. Membership is personal to the named Member identified on the Order Form. It is non-transferable and may not be assigned, shared or used by any other individual, employee or representative. Where two individuals share a Studio membership under clause 3.5, each holds a separate personal membership in their own name.
2.6 Non-portability where a company is the Contracting Party. Where the Contracting Party is a company or other business entity, the membership is personal to the named Member and does not transfer to any other individual in any circumstances, including where the named Member ceases to be employed by, associated with or otherwise connected to the Contracting Party. In that event: (a) the Contracting Party's obligation to pay the Membership Fee continues for the remainder of the then-current Term; (b) HOC is not obliged to grant access to any replacement individual under that membership; and (c) the Contracting Party may apply for a new membership for a different named individual, subject to HOC's standard sign-up and approval process and the completion of a new Order Form.
2.7 Business declaration. The Contracting Party confirms that: (a) the named Member is aged 18 or over; (b) the signatory is authorised to enter into this agreement on behalf of the Contracting Party; (c) the membership is being obtained wholly or mainly for the purposes of a business, trade or profession, and not as a consumer; (d) where the Contracting Party is a company or business entity, it acknowledges that the membership is personal to the named Member only and may not be used by any other employee, director or representative; and (e) the statutory rights available to consumers under applicable law do not apply to this agreement.
2.8 Members may not use the Premises address as a registered company address or for any official filing or regulatory purpose.
3 TIERS, INCLUSIONS AND UPDATES
3.1 The Member's access rights, facilities and inclusions are set out in the Tier Schedule and the House Rules. The Tier Schedule and House Rules form part of the agreement between HOC, the Contracting Party and the Member.
3.2 Operational updates. The Tier Schedule and the House Rules are living documents. HOC may update them - including Honesty Bar credit allocations, booking allowances, room rates, event access, operational rules and any other inclusions or benefits beyond core workspace access - at any time on reasonable written notice. The fundamental service provided under these Terms is access to the House at the Member's Tier. Changes to operational inclusions and benefits do not give rise to a right to cancel or a claim that HOC is in breach of these Terms.
3.3 Core access changes. Where HOC proposes a change that would remove or fundamentally alter the core workspace access available at a Member's Tier, HOC will give at least 30 days' written notice. In that event only, the Contracting Party on a fixed minimum term may cancel without liability for any remaining term by giving written notice within 14 days of HOC's notice.
3.4 Honesty Bar credits. Where a Tier includes Honesty Bar credits, the current allocation is set out in the Tier Schedule. Credits refresh monthly and do not roll over. HOC may charge the Contracting Party for any usage not properly logged. HOC may vary the credit system, categories or allocation by updating the Tier Schedule under clause 3.2.
3.5 Collective tier contributions. Collective Members must meet the community contribution requirements set out in the Tier Schedule. HOC may update those requirements on reasonable written notice.
4 SHARED STUDIO MEMBERSHIPS
4.1 Studio memberships may be shared between two named individuals (each a Shared Member). Each holds a separate personal membership and each has a separate Contracting Party (which may be the individual themselves or their respective companies). Both must sign the Shared Membership Addendum and be approved by HOC before the arrangement commences.
4.2 Shared Members may not occupy the workspace simultaneously.
4.3 HOC will invoice each Shared Member's Contracting Party separately at the agreed split rate. Each Contracting Party is individually responsible for payment of their own invoice. HOC is not responsible for any internal payment arrangements between the Shared Members or their Contracting Parties.
4.4 Cancellation by one Shared Member (or their Contracting Party) does not cancel the other's Membership. The remaining Member may continue at the standard Studio rate or apply to add a replacement Shared Member, subject to HOC's approval and a new Shared Membership Addendum.
4.5 Each Shared Member is individually bound by the conduct obligations in these Terms. Each Contracting Party is individually bound by the payment obligations. Breach by one Shared Member does not automatically affect the other, unless the breach involves both.
5 TERM AND RENEWAL
5.1 The minimum term (if any) for each Tier is set out in the Tier Schedule.
5.2 Where no minimum term applies, membership runs on a monthly rolling basis from the confirmed start date.
5.3 Membership auto-renews at the end of each Term for a further period equal to the initial Term, unless the Contracting Party gives written notice of cancellation to hello@ourhouseofchampions.com at least 30 days before the end of the then-current Term. For example, a 12-month House membership will renew for a further 12 months unless notice is given in time.
5.4 HOC may increase the Membership Fee on renewal by giving the Contracting Party at least 30 days' written notice before the renewal date. Continued use of the House after the renewal date constitutes the Contracting Party's acceptance of the new fee.
5.5 If the Contracting Party cancels before the end of any applicable minimum term, the Contracting Party remains liable for the Membership Fee for the remainder of that term, unless HOC agrees otherwise in writing or clause 3.3 applies.
5.6 HOC's right not to renew. HOC may elect not to renew a Membership at the end of any Term by giving the Contracting Party at least 30 days' written notice before the end of the then-current Term. HOC is not required to give reasons for a decision not to renew. Where HOC exercises this right, the Contracting Party's liability for fees ceases at the end of the then-current Term.
6 FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 The Membership Fee is payable by the Contracting Party monthly in advance on the first day of each month (or the first working day thereafter).
6.2 Payment is by the method set out on the Order Form. HOC does not accept cash.
6.3 If the Membership Fee is not received by the due date, HOC may suspend the Member's access to the House until payment is received in full. HOC may charge the Contracting Party interest on overdue amounts at 8% above the Bank of England base rate from the due date to the date of payment.
6.4 Any additional services used beyond the Member's Tier inclusions will be charged to the Contracting Party at the rates set out in the current Tier Schedule and invoiced monthly.
6.5 Membership Fees are non-refundable except where HOC terminates the Membership other than for the Contracting Party's or Member's breach.
6.6 Non-Jersey Contracting Parties. Where the Contracting Party's principal place of business or residence is outside Jersey, HOC may as a condition of confirming the Membership require a pre-authorised payment method, a deposit of up to one month's Membership Fee, or both. Any deposit will be held by HOC and applied against outstanding sums on termination, with any balance returned to the Contracting Party within 30 days of termination.
7 ACCESS AND USE OF THE HOUSE
7.1 Members may access the House during HOC's published opening hours, available at ourhouseofchampions.com, or the members' portal. HOC may vary opening hours at any time on reasonable notice.
7.2 HOC will provide the Member with a personal access code, key card or other access device as applicable from time to time. Access devices are personal to the named Member and must not be shared, except via the Guest Access Method in clause 8.3.
7.3 Membership does not give the Member any exclusive right to any specific desk, chair or space. HOC may reconfigure the layout of the House and update its facilities and technology at any time.
7.4 Desk access is subject to availability. HOC will use reasonable endeavours to ensure adequate desk capacity for Members but does not guarantee that a specific desk or any desk will be available on any particular day. Unavailability of a desk on a given day does not constitute a breach of these Terms.
7.5 Members must not bring to the Premises any equipment or materials that may be hazardous, obstructive or unsafe. Members are responsible for the electrical safety of their own equipment.
7.6 Temporary closure. HOC may close or restrict access to all or part of the House temporarily for any reason, including planned maintenance, private events, emergencies, or circumstances beyond HOC's reasonable control (including fire, flood, power failure, or other force majeure events). HOC will give as much notice as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, which in the case of an emergency or force majeure event may be no notice at all. Temporary closure does not give rise to any right to a reduction in fees or a refund, unless the closure extends beyond 14 consecutive days, in which case HOC will apply a pro-rata reduction for the period of closure beyond that.
8 GUESTS
8.1 Members may bring guests in accordance with their Tier inclusions and the House Rules. Members are entirely responsible for the conduct and behaviour of their guests at all times.
8.2 Guests do not sign separate membership forms. By bringing a guest to the House, the Member agrees to be responsible for that guest's compliance with these Terms and the House Rules.
8.3 Guest access is provided by HOC's current Guest Access Method, as notified from time to time. The Member must request guest access from HOC in advance. HOC may update the Guest Access Method on reasonable notice.
8.4 Members must not leave guests unaccompanied in the House without prior agreement from HOC.
8.5 Visitors without a Member sponsor may purchase a day pass at the current rate, subject to availability. Day pass rates are set out on HOC's website and may be updated from time to time.
8.6 Under-18s are not permitted in the House without prior written approval from HOC.
9 HOUSE RULES
9.1 All Members and their guests must comply with the House Rules at all times. The House Rules set out the standards of conduct expected within the House, including requirements relating to the Honesty Bar, meeting room use, noise, video calls, and kitchen and communal areas.
9.2 The House Rules are a separate, updatable document incorporated into these Terms by reference. The current House Rules are available from HOC on request and via the members' portal.
9.3 Updating the House Rules. HOC may update the House Rules at any time. Updates required immediately for reasons of safety, legal compliance or licensing will take effect on notice to Members. All other updates will take effect on reasonable notice, not ordinarily exceeding 7 days. Continued use of the House after notice of an update constitutes acceptance of the revised House Rules.
9.4 Serious or repeated breach of the House Rules may result in suspension or termination of Membership under clause 13.
9.5 Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the House or within St Andrews Court. Members and guests must smoke or vape outside the courtyard.
10 HONESTY BAR
10.1 The Honesty Bar is available to Members and their guests during opening hours, subject to the House Rules. The House Rules set out the operational requirements for Honesty Bar use, including logging, measures and alcohol service standards. HOC may update those requirements by updating the House Rules under clause 9.3.
10.2 Members are responsible for ensuring that alcohol is not served to anyone under the age of 18.

11 DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY
11.1 Lawful basis for processing. HOC processes personal data on the following lawful bases:
11.1.1 Performance of contract - processing necessary to administer the Membership, issue invoices, manage access and communicate about the Membership. This does not require consent and cannot be declined without affecting HOC's ability to provide the Membership.
11.1.2 Legitimate interests - processing for security (including CCTV), fraud prevention and the operational running of the House, where this is reasonable and does not override the Member's or Contracting Party's interests or rights.

HOC will not pass the Member's data to third-party partners for their own marketing without specific consent.

13 SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
13.1 Suspension pending investigation. HOC may suspend a Member's access to the House immediately and without prior notice where HOC reasonably considers that the Member or their guest may have committed a serious breach of these Terms or the House Rules, pending investigation. HOC will notify the Member and the Contracting Party of the suspension and conduct any investigation promptly. If the investigation concludes that no serious breach occurred, access will be reinstated. Suspension pending investigation does not of itself constitute termination.

13.2.2 the Member's or their guest's conduct is violent, abusive, discriminatory, or brings HOC into disrepute;

13.4 On termination, the Member's access to the House will be deactivated immediately. The Member must promptly remove all personal property from the Premises. HOC is not responsible for any personal property left at the Premises after termination.
13.5 Termination does not affect any accrued rights or obligations of either party. In particular, termination for breach does not release the Contracting Party from liability for any Membership Fees due for the remainder of the then-current Term.
13.6 HOC’s decision to suspend or terminate any membership is final.
14 LIABILITY
14.1 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes HOC's liability for death or personal injury caused by HOC's negligence or fraud.

14.3.6 loss of anticipated savings,
in each case whether or not such loss was foreseeable or HOC had been advised of the possibility of such loss.
