experience of working together is enriching, collaborative and satisfying for all.

- Right of admission: LOOM reserves the right of admission to its LOOM Spaces, in the event of inappropriate use of the space since, as manager of the space, it is responsible for ensuring orderly management, proper usage, and a harmonious co-existence among users, in the interests of the clients sharing the work space.

- Use of the space for photo and video shoots: The use of LOOM Spaces and their image for photo shoots, filming and similar activities (interviews, documentaries, filming of series, etc.) requires prior authorisation from LOOM since that activity may be subject to a fee for use of the spaces’ image. LOOM may establish a process for requesting
permission for photo shoots in LOOM Spaces, with or without cost, in order to ensure the correct and orderly use of the space. Excluded from the above are spontaneous photos and videos for private social networks, in which the use of LOOM’s image serves to reinforce the image of quality and aesthetics that LOOM strives to offer. Any defamatory or negative use of our spaces will be sufficient cause to apply the right of admission in favour of LOOM and, where appropriate, to terminate the agreement if necessary.
- Multiple use of Workstations: If the Client contracts a certain number of workstations to be used by a greater number of people, the Client acknowledges and accepts that this use must observe some additional These are:

- Scope of the cleaning service: The cleaning service offered by LOOM includes the standard daily cleaning of the office in use and is coordinated as Therefore it does not include cleaning of an
extraordinary nature deriving from private celebrations or an inappropriate use of the space. In that case LOOM is entitled to contract an extra cleaning service and to re-bill it to the Client, following due notice to the Client. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the cleaning service is an external service whereby LOOM has no labour relationship with the contracted staff, and will only coordinate the instructions for the service.
7. PERSONALISATION OF CERTAIN SPACES
- Personalisation: If the Agreement envisages the Client contracting fixed workstations located in one of the LOOM Space offices, the Client may be permitted to customise those offices with their corporate colours and logos upon presentation of a detailed project prepared by technicians with sufficient professional training.

LOOM assumes no liability vis-à-vis the Client for any interruptions that may occur with respect to any of the LOOM Space services or supplies, such as electricity, water, WiFi or others, although it will undertake its best efforts to ensure that the interrupted service resumes as soon as possible.

16. LIABILITY FOR USE OF THE SPACE
The Client is liable for using the LOOM Space properly for the entire duration of the Agreement and is liable for all harm and loss they may cause in the LOOM Space or adjacent or nearby spaces, or to other clients. The Client will be liable for any acts or omissions that result in damage, whether their own or those of their employees and visitors. Taking out insurance does not diminish the Client’s liability vis-à-vis LOOM in any way.
17. INSURANCE
Before signing the Agreement, the Client must have taken out civil liability insurance and damage insurance providing the coverage and insured amounts expected of a reasonable businessman. If the Client is authorised to perform decoration work in the spaces contracted under its Agreement, it must prove, before any work commences, that it has taken out the corresponding insurance policies, as specified above in these General Terms and Conditions. The Client waives its right to file a claim against LOOM for the loss of data, documents, equipment and other belongings with which it conducts its activity in the LOOM Space, and will use the standard of care set out in the Internal Regulations attached to these General Terms and Conditions for safekeeping.
18. OCCUPATIONAL RISK PREVENTION

LOOM may at any time implement any measure considered reasonable and prudent to ensure the maximum safety and hygiene in the use of its spaces, appropriately notifying this to all of its users for their compulsory compliance.

19. REVOCATION OF SERVICES
If the Client breaches its obligations under the Agreement, any agreed services will be revoked and the Client must reimburse LOOM for those services or pay an equivalent amount.
20. RETURN OF THE SPACE
Upon termination of the Contract, the Client must leave the space used in LOOM in the same optimal conditions in which it was delivered to them. To this end, the Client will pay a fixed amount for each contracted workstation (Replacement Fee) as follows:
- €66/workstation, in the case of workstations within offices.
- €33/workstation, in the case of workstations with glass walls offices (that do not require painting) or fixed workstations in open spaces.
This amount will be invoiced and deducted from the Guarantee mentioned in Clause 12 (Guarantees) at the end of the Contract.
In case of failure to fulfill the obligation to leave the space as it was delivered to the client, LOOM may take the necessary actions to restore the space to the agreed conditions, at the Client’s expense, also deducting the cost of said repairs from the Guarantee mentioned in Clause 12.
Therefore, the Client must not only 1) return the rented space in the same conditions in which it was delivered, empty and clear, and in perfect condition; but also (2) remove all its own furniture and belongings by the date of contract termination. Otherwise, LOOM is authorized to dispose of any items not removed within that timeframe.

order to demand performance of the unfulfilled obligation. Accordingly, if any payment obligation under this Agreement is not fulfilled, the other Party will be entitled to terminate the Agreement without any penalty whatsoever. Nor will it be possible to remedy any breach of an essential obligation under the Agreement, such as those provided in Clause 6 (Use of the Space and Right of Admission), Clause 13 (Internet and WiFi Network Access), Clause 17 (Insurance) and those of Clause 18 (Occupational Risk Prevention). Breach of this Agreement will be understood as the perpetration of any offence in the LOOM Space, as well as any action by the Client that may compromise the reputation of LOOM or the business group to which it belongs.
22. DATA PROTECTION
Data protection information: Each of the Parties will process the personal data of the signers and agents of the Parties individually as a data controller for the execution of this Agreement. The legal basis for processing is the execution of an agreement and the Parties’ legitimate interest. Hence, failure to provide personal data could prevent execution of the contractual relationship.

23. CODE OF CONDUCT
The Parties state that they seek to ensure that their conduct and that of all persons related to them, including all employees, executives or collaborators and any others that form part of the value chain, respond and adapt, in addition to the provisions of applicable regulations, to generally-accepted ethical and corporate accountability principles.

To this regard, the Parties state that they are aware of and respect the principles of integrity of conduct, reflected in their respective Code of Ethics or Conduct, and that are published on the corporate websites of each of the parties (www.ir.merlinproperties.com and www.loom.es the ‘Code of Conduct’), of mandatory compliance for all employees, executives or collaborators of LOOM and the Client, respectively. If only one of the Parties has a Code of Conduct, it will be applicable for both Parties.
For these purposes, each of the Parties state, as regards itself:
- that this Agreement was signed on the basis of the specific terms and conditions of the counterpart and based solely on commercial criteria; and
- that they have no knowledge that their employees, executives or collaborators, directly or by means of any intermediary, have requested or raised any proposal, service, promise, handout or gift with any employee or executive of the other Party, with the intention of facilitating the signature or performance of this Agreement, or that may be considered an act of corruption, extortion or bribery, and they agree not to perform this type of action in the future.
Within the above scope and in addition to it, the Parties state that they are aware of the reporting mechanisms enabled by each of them (Internal Reporting Systems) to which any indication of irregularities in the action or conduct of the employees, executives, or collaborators of each of the Parties that could entail a breach of the respective Codes of Ethics or Conduct, or that could be considered an act of corruption, extortion, or bribery or any other type of criminal offence may be sent.
In compliance with current legislation and for the maximum guarantee of informant protection, LOOM has outsourced the management of the
Internal Reporting System so that any third party that interacts with LOOM and has reasonable indications of any irregularity may notify LOOM of it through this confidential and anonymous Channel.

Changes will be deemed to be approved if the Client does not object to them in text form (e.g. fax, email) within one (1) month of the announcement of the relevant change, of which LOOM will make specific mention when announcing those changes. The delivery date will be decisive in considering that an objection has been submitted within the deadline.
