Our responsibilities to you
Section 24 (Waiver of claims) and section 25 (Limitation of Liability) of the WeWork All Access Membership Terms and Conditions will not apply to you if you are a Consumer. Instead, the following sets out our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you.
If you are a Consumer living in either the United Kingdom or the European Union, excluding Germany, the following applies:
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Agreement was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the signup process. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Services (as described under ‘Your rights’ above).
We are not liable to you for business losses. If you are a Consumer, we only supply the Services to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity and these Terms shall not apply.
If you are a Consumer living in Germany, the following applies:
We shall be liable without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intention or gross negligence.
Furthermore, we shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of this Agreement, or for the breach of obligations, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of this Agreement possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer regularly relies (cardinal obligations). In this case, however, we shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for this Agreement. Subject to the following provisions we shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those referred to in the preceding sentences.
The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, body or health.
Insofar as our liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
Your responsibilities to us
Section 26 (Indemnification) of the WeWork All Access Terms and Conditions will not apply to you if you are a Consumer. Instead, the following sets out your responsibility for loss or damage suffered by us.
If you are a Consumer living in either the United Kingdom or the European Union excluding Germany, you will compensate us for any foreseeable loss or damage caused by you as a result of you failing to comply with this Agreement (for example, you will compensate us in relation to damage to property you cause whilst on Premises).

IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN MEMBER COMPANY AND SPACE PARTNERS, WEWORK HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE, MEDIATE, OR INDEMNIFY ANY PARTY.
To the extent permitted by law: (i) WeWork is not liable for any loss, damage or liability arising from or related to Member Company’s and All Access Members’ use of Third Party Spaces; (ii) WeWork is not responsible for, nor does it have control over, Third Party Spaces, including but not limited to accuracy, cleanliness, availability of adequate services, safety, and security; and (iii) WeWork is not responsible for, nor does it have control over how WeWork All Access Members engage with each Third Party Space.
