Last updated: 16 October 2026<\/em><\/p>\n

These Terms of Service (\u201cTerms\u201d) form a binding legal agreement between you and JEM Projects BV, a company organised under the laws of Belgium, with enterprise number (KBO\/BCE) 0678.739.781 and VAT number BE 0678.739.781, registered office at Prins Boudewijnlaan 147, 2610 Wilrijk (\u201cPop This Shop\u201d, \u201cwe\u201d, \u201cus\u201d or \u201cour\u201d). They govern your access to and use of the Pop This Shop website, mobile applications and related services (together, the \u201cPlatform\u201d).<\/p>\n

Pop This Shop operates an online marketplace where businesses and individuals (\u201cLandlords\u201d) publish listings for temporary retail, market, exhibition or event space (\u201cSpace\u201d, each a \u201cListing\u201d), and where brands, makers, creators and other businesses and individuals (\u201cTenants\u201d) find, book and pay for that Space (each booking, a \u201cReservation\u201d). Tenants may also publish a listing of their own concept so that Landlords can find them. Landlords and Tenants are together \u201cMembers\u201d.<\/p>\n

By creating an account, browsing the Platform, publishing a Listing, or making or accepting a Reservation, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy<\/a>, which explains how we collect and use personal data. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform.<\/p>\n

2. The Platform and Our Role<\/b><\/p>\n

Pop This Shop provides an online venue where Landlords and Tenants find each other and conclude contracts for the temporary use of Space. The contract for the use of the Space (the rental agreement) is concluded directly between the Landlord and the Tenant. Pop This Shop is not a party to that contract, except for the collection and payment of amounts as described in Section 6.<\/p>\n

Pop This Shop does not own, lease, control, manage or operate any Space listed on the Platform, and is not a real estate agent, event organiser, letting agent or insurer. We review Listings for compliance with our rules (Section 4.5), but we do not verify that a Landlord holds the rights, permits or licences needed to offer a particular Space. Members are responsible for satisfying themselves that a Listing or Reservation is lawful and fit for their purposes.<\/p>\n

3. Eligibility and Member Accounts<\/b><\/p>\n

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts to create an account and use the Platform. When you register, you confirm that you are 18 or older and you give your year of birth. You must provide accurate, current and complete information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity under your account, and you must tell us promptly about any unauthorised use.<\/p>\n

Where you register on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms.<\/p>\n

We may ask you to confirm your identity through our payment service provider (Stripe) before you can publish a Listing, receive payouts or make certain payments. A badge on your profile shows when your identity has been checked or when a payment method is on file. A badge is not a guarantee about a Member or a Space.<\/p>\n

4. Listings (Landlord Terms)<\/b><\/p>\n

4.1 Creating and Managing a Listing<\/b><\/p>\n

Publishing a Listing is free. Landlords are responsible for the accuracy of their Listing, including the description, photographs, availability, pricing, house or venue rules, and any restrictions on the use of the Space. Landlords must keep their availability up to date and must honour confirmed Reservations.<\/p>\n

4.2 Know Your Legal Obligations<\/b><\/p>\n

Landlords confirm that they hold the right (as owner, as leaseholder with a right to sublet, or otherwise) to offer the Space, and are solely responsible for obtaining and keeping any permits, licences, consents or insurance required under Applicable Law to offer the Space for the purposes described in the Listing. This includes, where relevant, municipal occupation permits, fire safety and public-event authorisations, and any licences needed for the sale of food, drink or other regulated goods (such as an FASFC\/AFSCA registration or a communal alcohol licence). Landlords are also responsible for their own tax obligations, including VAT and income tax, arising from Reservations.<\/p>\n

4.3 Search Results and Ranking<\/b><\/p>\n

Search results reflect how relevant a Listing is to a Tenant’s search, taking into account factors such as location, dates, price, size, availability and reviews. Featured Listings (Section 11.1) are shown more prominently and are always marked as such. Where a Landlord is a business user within the meaning of the P2B Regulation, the main ranking parameters and their relative importance are explained in our Help Centre, in accordance with Article 5 of that Regulation.<\/p>\n

4.4 Landlords Operating as a Business<\/b><\/p>\n

Where a Reservation is concluded between a Landlord acting in a professional or business capacity and a Tenant acting as a consumer, the Landlord is responsible for providing the pre-contractual information required of a trader under Book VI CDE and the Consumer Rights Directive 2011\/83\/EU (including its identity, geographic address and contact details), and for complying with any applicable withdrawal-right rules.<\/p>\n

4.5 Review of Listings<\/b><\/p>\n

Every new Listing and every change to a published title, description or photos is reviewed before it goes online. The review combines an automated check of texts and photos (including an AI check) with a review by our team. Depending on the outcome, a Listing with a low risk level may be approved automatically, and a Listing with a medium or high risk level is always reviewed by a person. While a change is under review, the approved version stays online. Moving a Space by more than 250 metres or to another city also requires approval. If changes are needed, we send feedback explaining what to change and why. We never refuse a Listing on the basis of an automated check alone.<\/p>\n

To protect both sides, the exact address of a Space is never shown publicly. The street name may not appear in a Listing, and the map shows an approximate area only. Contact details, payment instructions outside the Platform and other identifying information may not appear in Listings or photos (see Section 10.5).<\/p>\n

Listings are never deleted by us. A Landlord can hide a Listing at any time, and we may hide or restrict a Listing in accordance with Section 10.4.<\/p>\n

4.6 Concept Listings<\/b><\/p>\n

A Tenant may publish a Concept Listing presenting its retail, pop-up or business concept, so that Landlords can find a Tenant suited to their Space. Concept Listings are anonymous: they describe the concept by category and style (for example, \u201csustainable fashion label from Antwerp\u201d) and may not show the brand name, logo, website or other details that identify the Tenant. The brand is shared with a Landlord only when the Tenant sends that Landlord a booking request. Except where the context requires otherwise, the rules that apply to Listings in this Section 4 and elsewhere in these Terms apply equally to Concept Listings, with references to a Landlord and a Tenant read the other way round, as appropriate.<\/p>\n

5. Booking Space (Tenant Terms)<\/b><\/p>\n

5.1 Requests, Viewings and Confirmation<\/b><\/p>\n

Tenants can search for Space by location, dates, size, price and other criteria, ask questions through Platform messages, request a viewing and send a booking request. Sending a request is free and nothing is charged until the Landlord accepts. A booking request that is not answered expires after 14 days.<\/p>\n

A Landlord sees the full booking request (including the Tenant’s brand and project) after accepting the protection rules in Section 10.7 for that Tenant. A Landlord may decline a request without accepting them.<\/p>\n

When the Landlord accepts, the Tenant receives a payment request. The Reservation is confirmed, and the contract between the Landlord and the Tenant is formed, when the payment is received. The rental agreement is signed online by both Members through the Platform.<\/p>\n

A Tenant may book without visiting the Space first. In that case the Tenant confirms at checkout that the cancellation terms apply from the moment of payment, also if a later visit leads the Tenant to change its mind.<\/p>\n

5.2 Pre-Contractual Information<\/b><\/p>\n

Before a booking request is sent, the Platform shows the essential characteristics of the Space, the total price (including the Administration Fee, the payment processing fee and any applicable taxes) and the applicable cancellation terms, in line with Article VI.45 CDE and the Consumer Rights Directive. The identity of the Landlord is shared once the booking request has been accepted.<\/p>\n

5.3 Right of Withdrawal<\/b><\/p>\n

Where a Tenant is a consumer, Reservations for the use of Space on specific dates are, as a general rule, contracts for leisure-related or accommodation services to be performed on a specific date, and are therefore exempt from the standard 14-day withdrawal right under Article VI.53, 12\u00b0 CDE and Article 16(l) of the Consumer Rights Directive. Cancellation is governed by Section 7 instead.<\/p>\n

5.4 Check-in<\/b><\/p>\n

On the start date, the Tenant confirms the check-in on the Platform. If the Tenant does not report a problem within 2 days of the start date, the stay is considered started.<\/p>\n

6. Fees and Payment<\/b><\/p>\n

6.1 Administration Fees<\/b><\/p>\n

Creating an account and publishing a Listing or Concept Listing are free. Pop This Shop only charges an Administration Fee on a confirmed Reservation:<\/p>\n
