hygge network & digital terms of service
While working out of a COhatch or hygge location, you may connect to our network among other things that access the internet. By using or accessing our network and other digital software/hardware, you agree to these terms of service. Please read these terms carefully. We may revise these terms at any time. You are deemed to accept the current terms each time you use or access our network, hardware, or software, and it is your responsibility to review it for any updates. If you do not accept these terms of service, you may not use the connection.
ACCESS
Your access to our network, hardware, and software is at our discretion. Your access may be blocked, suspended or terminated at any time and for any reason, including violation of these terms of service, disruption of access to other users or networks or to otherwise protect anyone in the COhatch or hygge ecosystems. The access to the COhatch or hygge network(s) is available to your device only when it is within wireless range of our access points or in your office or a conference room through an ethernet cable to a data network port.
Our network may be subject to unavailability, including by reason of emergencies, service failures, transmission, equipment or network problems or limitations, interference, signal strength, and maintenance and repair. We are not responsible for any interruptions or performance issues with our network, hardware, or software. Network speed will vary based on your device configuration, location, compression, network congestion and other factors. You are solely responsible for any devices, software, or other materials necessary for use of any COhatch/hygge network, software, or hardware/equipment. Any prohibited uses may result in the removal of content, software/hardware termination, or membership/usage termination.
Before purchasing or utilizing external devices or hardware (WiFi modems, printers, ports, ethernet connections, etc.) we ask that you reach out to the local COhatch/hygge team for your location to determine if our network, hardware, and software requirements are met. If you purchase or utilize external devices or hardware on our network that we are not aware of or that are not compatible with our digital ecosystem (network, hardware, or software), we are not liable for the expense, return, or maintenance of your devices or hardware.
If you have questions related to network, hardware, or software at COhatch/hygge, please reach out to our team at hello@cohatch.com or hello@wearehygge.com specifying your location, your device(s), and what questions or concerns you may have.
