Unlock your location for people to connect, collaborate & grow!

1. Introduction

Seats2meet.com International (hereinafter: S2M) has developed an innovative disruptive working-, meeting & office concept, catering for the growing number of co-workers, organizations 3.0 and other innovators of the world, meeting each other in both the physical and virtual world (hereinafter: “the Concept”).
S2M has developed software to allow third parties to book (work-, desk-, & meeting-) seats at a physical location, to collaborate online, to organize events and more (hereinafter: the Software). The Software contains a bookings engine, a property management system, a (social) CRM system and an analytics function. By using real time dashboards information can be shared with stakeholders. The Software is an integral part of the Concept.

2. My own S2M: cooperation with Seats2meet.com International.

S2M offers an opportunity for local operators/entrepreneurs and/or organizations (hereinafter called ‘Operators”) to open up and run S2M physical locations. A S2M location consists of work-, meeting- or desk space or any combination. By signing up as a S2M location operator, you are allowed to use the Concept and the Software for your business operations in accordance with the statements in this document.

However, you run the operation of such a S2M location as an independent operator at your own risk and for your own benefit.

3. We expect you to use the Concept and the Software as follows:

You shall only use the S2M Software exclusively to allow third parties to book seats at your location, to collaborate and to organize events. During the profile registration and booking process the Software presents the S2M Booking Terms and Terms & Conditions and requires the booker/user to agree. You agree to adhere to these Booking Terms and Terms & Conditions to each and every booker. A minimum percentage of the workspace capacity is always offered by you in exchange for social capital. The percentage is based on the S2M model of your choice.

4. Your requirements and obligations:

As an independent location operator you shall provide access to a free WiFi Internet connection for all your visitors. S2M highly recommends a fiberglass network, or a network with at least a connection speed of 20/20 Mbps or more. Next to that you will provide your guests acces to the Serendipity Machine (hereinafter: TSM) of your location via a TV screen or something bigger. Your S2M Branded TSM will be automatically created for your location. If you already have a TSM you can connect it to your S2M location. We highly recommend that you share a cup of coffee with your workspace bookers as well.

You are responsible for entering & updating the location data & operational details, e.g. opening hours, as well as the availability of work- desk- and meetingspace into the S2M Software. S2M location operators will commit to actively participate in the S2M Mesh (the overall value network of S2M communities) to enable the collaborative growth of it.

Your ranking within the S2M software and its websites is related to the number of positive ‘stakeholder reviews’ as we feel that your own community/stakeholders should judge your performance. Reviews are an integrated part of the Software, clients and bookers of seats may leave comments and reviews regarding you as the operator and other parties involved in your operation. In case you feel a particular comment or review is inappropriate, it is the sole responsibility of the Operator to raise the issue with the reviewer.

We expect every operator to stay on top of developments around the Seats2meet.com brand and the S2M Mesh. Being a good brand ambassador is vital to the succes of the S2M global brand. S2M International is offering 'permanent education programs' consisting of webinars, workshops, conferences, publications and books. Each educational item represents a number of 'learning points'. Each location owner is responsible for him/herself and his/her staff to earn an annual total number of 'learning points'. Not meeting the number of required 'learning points' by a location may lead to losing the S2M brand-license. The number of points required will be determined and communicated bij S2M International each year.

The Seats2meet.com international team has a special Global S2M voucher code to book seats for our team through the Software free of charge. Operators will honor these bookings and S2M staff will only use this code discretionally and incidentally.
