You agree to indemnify us for any loss we may suffer due to any breach of these warranties and representations.

7.     Your members.

1. Updating your Team List. Members with a Team Membership and Private Office/Dedicated Desk with multiple members will be required to submit a Team List to RiverWorks, indicating who is authorized to use the space under the organization’s account. Only those individuals set forth on the authorized Team List will be deemed to be “Members” and entitled to the benefits described in this Agreement. Your Team Members will be able to begin using, accessing, and receiving the Services on the later of (i) the Start Date or (ii) the date we confirm the addition of such individual to the Team List. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the Member List, the first version of which is attached to your Membership Agreement. To make changes to your Member List, you must have your Primary Contact send an email from the Primary Contact’s email account on file with RiverWorks Coworking to hello@DixonRiverWorks.com. The email requesting the change must include the name(s) and email address(es) of the departing and new Member(s) and the effective date of the change. The changes will not take effect until we confirm that we have received the email and have accepted and applied the change at our sole discretion. A Member will no longer be allowed to access the Services upon the earlier of (1) the termination or expiration of this Agreement; (2) your removal of the Member from the authorized Team List or (3) our notification from you that the Member will be removed from the Team List, for example, that that Member violated this Agreement. If the number of Members or other individuals regularly using your private office exceeds the number allocated on the Membership Details form, you will be required to pay additional fees. In no event will the number of Members exceed two times the number of desks provided by RiverWorks Coworking in your private office, regardless of additional fees paid. We reserve the right to place further limits on the number of Members allowed at any point.
2. Creating a Profile. Upon adding a Member to the authorized Team List, the member will be required to create a profile on the RiverWorks Member Portal. This profile will be viewable by us, our employees, and other RiverWorks Members. Such profile information may include a photograph of the Member and other information about the Member. You are responsible for informing each of your Members about creating such profiles and obtaining their consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information for such purposes.
3. Changes to or Removal of Primary Contact or Authorized Signatory. An Authorized Signatory generally has the sole authority to make changes to or terminate this Agreement. A Primary Contact will generally serve as RiverWorks Coworking’s primary contact regarding matters that involve your authorized Team Members, your private office, if applicable, and the RiverWorks workspace. We are entitled to rely on communications to or from the Authorized Signatory or Primary Contact as notice to or from the Member Organization. However, an Executive Officer of the applicable Member Organization will have the authority to override the request of an Authorized Signatory or Primary Contact, as appropriate, provided that we receive such a request within 24 hours following such Authorized Signatory’s or Primary Contact’s request. We will be entitled to request reasonable information to confirm that an individual claiming to be an Executive Officer truly is one and to exercise our discretion in determining whether a particular position constitutes an “Executive Officer.” An Executive Officer will also have the authority to remove or replace the individual serving as the Authorized Signatory or Primary Contact. Unless we receive instructions from the Authorized Signatory or Executive Officer, if the individual designated as the Primary Contact ceases to provide services to the Member Company or ceases using the Office Space regularly, we will use our reasonable judgment in establishing a replacement Primary Contact.
