Emphasized points
The Service is a business-to-business service, and is therefore only for commercial use. Our users only want to rent business premises from companies, and they only want to let business premises to companies. This means that you must represent a company in order to use the service. You are not permitted to use the Service as a private person or for private purposes.
A central part of The Service is a premise search engine, partly created by Landlords that advertise their vacant business premises, and partly created by robot crawling and indexing of many hundreds of websites, containing thousands of business premises, many times daily. The search engine gives a constantly updated overview over vacant business premises, where paying users get access to the whole database. This means that companyspace seekers from the whole world looking for new company spaces in European countries saves a lot of time that should otherwise be used to find all relevant websites and constantly search these for new company spaces. Our goal is to gather as many business premises as possible and to make the search engine as complete as possible, to give our users as comprehensive an overview of vacant business premises as possible. The business premises in the Search Engine come from all different kind of sources that we see as satisfactory. It is emphasized that generally there is no agreement about crawling with the landlords which we refer to.
You must be a PremiumUser to get access to most of our services. As a PremiumUser you sign up for an ongoing subscription, that can always be cancelled at the end of a subscription period. It is not possible to buy access to information about the company spaces individually or in the form of a ticket card. The subscription has no minimum commitment period beyond the current period and is weekly, since short subscription periods result in a high degree of flexibility which is optimal for the company space search process.
We emphasize that errors in the search engine may occur. See the description of the reasons for errors here. On all business premises there is a reporting feature, where users can report data errors in the business premise, or report if the source that is linked to does not work.
1. General terms
1.1
These terms and any other supplementary terms referred to herein (collectively referred to as the “Terms”) apply to any use of www.companyspace.com (referred to as “The Service”). The Terms apply to The User’s use of The Service, which is operated by Companyspace.com: CSP Medier ApS, Mynstersvej 3, 1827 Frederiksberg, Denmark, Central Business Register (CVR) no.: DK32147496. “User” means a person who creates an account on The Service. "PremiumUser" means a User who has purchased a subscription service which provides a number of advantages. These advantages are described in section 3.2 for Companyspace Seekers, and in Section 4.5 for Landlords. The Service only shows company spaces available in EU/EEA. Please note that, although The Service is translated to different languages, the terms, the cookie policy, the data policy and all mail communication will always be in English.
1.2
The Service is a business-to-business service, and is therefore only for commercial use. Our users only want to rent business premises from companies, and they only want to let business premises to companies. The Service is only for commercial use. This means that you must represent a company in order to use the service. You are not permitted to use the Service as a private person or for private purposes. If you despite this create a user profile, we will considered this to be a serious abuse of the service and will likely transfer the case to our lawyer with a view to asserting a claim for compensation. A large part of the value the service delivers to users is a certainty that all other users on the platform represent a company and thus use the service for commercial use. It thus reduces the value of the service, and thus the service's ability to disrupt revenue if a user uses the service as a private person or for private purposes. This cost will be applied in a possible compensation case.
1.3
It is forbidden for companies in default of payment, and for bankrupt companies, to register on The Service, as The Service does not wish to connect Users with companies that have difficulty paying. The Service therefore reserves the right to deactivate profiles that are registered with email addresses or websites owned by bankrupt companies, or companies in default of payment, without notice. Companies that go bankrupt or in default of payment after registering on The Service are obligated to inform The Service of this immediately.

Since The Service is a market platform, that works as a meeting place between Landlords and Companyspace Seekers, The User must state correct contact details. The User is obligated to state The User's name and email address correctly. If The User has a company name, The User is obligated to state this correctly. If The User has a registration number, The User is obligated to state this correctly. This information is stated by clicking "Your profile" in the top right corner, then choose the tab "Account settings", click the button "Your data" and fill out the fields. The User is not permitted to create more than one profile on The Service without prior agreement.
1.5
The Service is partially a search engine which collects available company spaces from freely accessible websites via robot crawling and indexing.

It is emphasized that it is not permitted to create a Companyspace Seeker profile without having a real wish for a new company space, e.g. just to keep orientated about the market, since it can lead to wasting other users time. The User must ensure that the content of the posted advertisement is true and accurate. The User is not permitted to write personal data (including name, mail address, phone number, social profiles and internet address etc.) or sensitive personal information (including information about political opinions, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, health-related data, data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation etc.). in a companyspace seeker ad. If The Service is notified that a companyspace seeker ad contains personal data or sensitive personal information, the companyspace seeker ad will be deactivated immediately. The Service has the right to show the uploaded content on other websites, on social media and on its business partners’ media. The User must disable the search ad immediately and within no longer than two days, when the search is no longer relevant. If The User fails to do so, The User’s account will be closed immediately, and the advertisement deleted.
3.2
The following services are available to the Companyspace Seeker without payment: The Companyspace Seeker can create a companyspace seeker ad. The Companyspace Seeker can receive email notifications of relevant company spaces. The Companyspace Seeker can contact created Landlords who have upgraded to PremiumUsers. The Companyspace Seeker receives the following benefits by upgrading to PremiumUser: The Companyspace Seeker’s search ad will be ranked higher in search results. The Companyspace Seeker receives faster email notifications about the most wanted company spaces. The Companyspace Seeker gets access to all company spaces in The Service (if a company space is advertised by a Landlord, the Companyspace Seeker receives the Landlord’s contact details. If a company space is collected by the crawler, the Companyspace Seeker is directed to the original source). The Service may however offer discount products that include fewer benefits.
3.3
When registering as a Companyspace Seeker, The User is obligated to post a companyspace seeker ad with a description of the Companyspace Seeker’s preferences for company spaces within 3 working days.
3.4
The Companyspace Seeker may upload a photo when posting the companyspace seeker ad.

The Company seeker must have the intellectual property rights to the photo. If any uploaded material infringes third party rights, such material will be removed as soon as The Service is made aware of the infringement.
3.5
The Companyspace Seeker can be contacted by Landlords via mail or phone in the following situations: If the Companyspace Seeker creates a companyspace seeker ad, the Companyspace Seeker can be contacted by Landlords with offers for company spaces that match the request in the companyspace seeker ad. If the Companyspace Seeker requests information about a company space ad, the Companyspace Seeker can be contacted by the Landlord that created the ad and other Landlords with company spaces that are similar to the requested ad.

3.6
The Companyspace Seeker accepts that The Service's database with company spaces cannot be 100 percent updated and that errors may occur in a minor portion of the search results or ads. There are several situations where errors can happen, for example: If a Landlord, who has created a company spaces advertisement on The Service, forget to deactivate the advertisement when the company spaces is no longer vacant. It cannot be avoided that a company space is taken down from an external website for a short period of time before The Service's robot visits the website where the company spaces is advertised. It cannot be avoided that company spaces that are no longer on the market sometimes will continue to appear as vacant on external websites, because the webmaster of the external website forgot to update this.
3.7
The Service has no inmail system, that makes it possible for the Landlord to be anonymous. Instead, the contact info of the Landlord is received directly. This may happen either in the form of a link to the website, where the landlord has advertised the premises, or in the form of direct contact info, if the landlord has created a user profile and created the premise directly on the platform. It is emphasized that the Service only provides the contact information of the landlord. The Service thus has no responsibility that the Landlord replies to inquiries in a given period of time.
