Terms of Use

O3 (trading as “Oyster Group”) provides a personalized subscription that allows our members to access our spaces (as “O3”) internationally. These Terms of Use govern your use of our spaces. As used in these Terms of Use, "O3space", "our space" or "O3" means the workspace cafe provided by O3, including all features and amenities, events, benefits, our website and our apps associated with our space. References to ‘you’ in these Terms of Use indicate the member who created the O3 account and whose payment method is charged.

1. Memberships

1.1. Your O3 membership will continue until terminated. To use the O3space you must register online with the O3 app, and provide us with one or more Payment Methods. “Payment Method” means a current, valid, accepted method of payment, as may be updated from time to time, and which may include payment through your account with a third party. Unless you cancel your membership before your billing date, you authorise us to charge the subscription fee for the next billing cycle to your Payment Method (see "Cancellation" below).

1.2. We may offer a number of subscription plans. Some subscription plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your O3 subscription by visiting our website.

2. Promotional Offers

We may from time to time offer special promotional offers, plans or memberships (“Offers”). Offer eligibility is determined by O3 at its sole discretion and we reserve the right to revoke an Offer and put your account on hold in the event that we determine you are not eligible. Members with an existing or recent O3 membership may not be eligible for certain introductory Offers. We may use information such as method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent O3 membership to determine Offer eligibility. The eligibility requirements and other limitations and conditions will be disclosed when you sign-up for the Offer or in other communications made available to you.

3. Billing and Cancellation

3.1. Billing Cycle. The subscription fee for the O3spaces and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the space, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription plan that you choose when you signed up. In some cases your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, when you change your subscription plan or if your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month. We may authorise your Payment Method in anticipation of subscription or service-related charges through various methods, including authorising it for up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register.

3.2. Payment Methods. To use the O3spaces you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorise us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the spaces until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Local tax charges may vary depending on the Payment Method used. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

3.3. Updating your Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods. We may also update your Payment Methods using information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorise us to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s).

3.4. Cancellation. You can cancel your O3 membership at any time after the minimum commitment period, and you will continue to have access to the O3spaces through the end of your billing period. To the extent permitted by the applicable law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial membership periods or unused O3 membership. To cancel, go to our website/app and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period.

3.5. Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. We may change our subscription plans and the price of our service from time to time. We will notify you before any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will become effective. If you do not wish to accept the price change or change to your subscription plan, you can cancel your membership before the change takes effect.
