As part of the Initiative, WeWork will contribute up to two (2) months of workspace at no cost to “Eligible Organizations” who are directly engaged in COVID-19 response efforts in regions where WeWork operates. Additional program eligibility requirements may apply as directed by WeWork from time to time at our sole discretion.

Eligible Organizations include (1) federal, state and local governments, (2) non-governmental organizations (NGO) and (3) nonprofits or other charitable organizations.

Existing WeWork Members or non-WeWork members who satisfy the eligibility requirements set out above may participate in the Initiative.
THE INITIATIVE IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE ELIGIBLE ORGANIZATION IS BASED OR OPERATES OR WHERE OTHER REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE REQUIRED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN MET.
In addition to satisfying the Eligibility Requirements, participation in this Initiative is subject to you entering into a WeWork membership agreement, or in the case of an existing WeWork member, an amendment to your existing agreement, and you will be bound by all the terms stated therein (the “Membership Agreement”).

To the extent permitted by law, WeWork and our affiliates, parents, and successors and each of our and their employees, assignees, officers, agents and directors (collectively, the “WeWork Parties”) (a) disclaim all warranties and terms, express or implied, with respect to the Initiative, including warranties, terms or representations and (b) will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, business interruption or loss of profits, or damages for lost time, goodwill or data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise.

You shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542 or any other similar law of any jurisdiction, which says in substance: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
