The client accepts that this agreement creates no tenancy interest, leasehold estate or other real property interest in the client’s favour with respect to the other accommodation. The client must comply with all Terms and Conditions and all House Rules which Starlite (UK) Ltd imposes.

The fees on any renewal will be the then market price. In all other respects you agreement will renew on the same terms and conditions.

16. When your agreement ends: Upon your departure or, if you, at your option, choose to relocate to a different accommodation within the business centre, an assessment will be made to cover the routine cost of repainting and redecorating the accommodation to return it to its original condition to addition to general maintenance to the common areas of the business centre in which you have had access. We reserve the right to charge additional reasonable fees for any repairs needed above and beyond normal wear and tear. If you leave any of your property in the business centre, we may dispose of it in any way we chose without owing you any responsibility for it or any proceeds of sale. In order to transition your mail and telephone calls from the business centre, you will be required to enter into a continuation agreement with us on our standard terms at the time for three months. If you continue to use the accommodation when your agreement has ended, you will be held responsible for any loss, claim or liability we incur as a result of your failure to vacate on time and we may, at our discretion, permit you an extension subject to a surcharge on the standard fee.

17. Additional Facilities: If, in order to facilitate your accommodation, you have carried out any alterations to the office, or we have done so on your behalf, you would be responsible for reinstating the office back to its original state at the end of your agreement and we are entitled to recover the costs from you for having the work carried out, should you fail to do so.

18. Ending your Agreement: Either of us can terminate your agreement at the end date stated in it, or at the end of any extension or renewal period, by giving at least 3 months’ notice to the other. However, if your agreement, extension or renewal is for 3 months or less, the notice period is 2 months.

19. Ending your Agreement Immediately: If you terminate your licence before the full term, or if we put an end to your agreement immediately by giving you notice because you have become insolvent, gone into liquidation or become unable to pay your debts as they fall due, or you are in breach of one of your obligations which you have failed to put right within fourteen days of a written notice by us, it does not put an end to any outstanding obligations you may have and you must pay for additional services you have used and pay the standard fee for the remainder of the period for which your agreement would have lasted, had it not ended for any of the reasons above and you must indemnify us against all reasonable and proper costs and losses we incur as a result of the termination.

20. Employees: Whilst your agreement is in force, and for a period of six months after it ends, you must not solicit or offer employment to any of our staff.

The deposit, or any balance after deducting, for example, any costs of reinstatement of assets or information technology or telecommunications infrastructure incurred by us, will be returned to you no earlier than 60 days after you have vacated the premises. The payment of the security deposit shall not affect our right to demand payment at any time in respect of any amounts due under this agreement and, accordingly, you will have no right to insist on an offset at any time against outstanding fees.

You will not be sent any warning letters as the charges will be invoked automatically. In addition to this, all facilities provided to you will be terminated until payment is made and you will not be entitled to any damages suffered by you or your business.

25. Annual Increase: For agreements of more than 12 months, we will increase your current standard service fee over the previous year by 5% or RPI, whichever is greater; in addition, where we can reasonably show an increase due to a rise in our direct costs for rates, insurance or utilities, that part of the charge will increase in line with the actual costs.
