House Rules

It's a workplace; respect your neighbours.

When you walk out the door, make sure the space is in the same condition (or better!) as it was when you walked in the door. Its ok to be on the phone or in a meeting, just remember other people are working nearby so use your inside voice.

Your stuff is your responsibility.

It’s your job to make sure that you do not leave anything at Desk Coworking when you leave, unless it’s A) in your private office B) on your dedicated desk or C) in your cupboard. If you do leave items outside of your paid term, after a reasonable time has passed, we can do what we want with it.

Sharing is caring.

If you break it, lose it or cause any losses, claims or damages, we’re going to have to ask you to make it right.

Mind ya beeswax.

When you see something on somebody’s monitor or around the printer or on a whiteboard somewhere, forget you saw it. You don’t want your client or your ideas made public and neither does your fellow neighbour.

Be kind or be gone.

We have zero tolerance for harassment. Every Desk member and guest should feel welcome, comfortable and productive in our space regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or other personal attributes or beliefs.

No naughty business.

No bit torrent or porn. Desk Coworking cannot be responsible for third-party data, websites, links or services. Make sure that you’ve read and agree to our Terms and Conditions. Keep it legal. We have zero tolerance for anyone using the Desk Coworking space or resources to conduct or pursue any illegal activities, or any activity that is generally regarded as offensive.

Keys are not for sharing.

If we’ve entrusted you with keys to get into the building , we’ve given it to you—not your neighbour, partner or guest. Keep it to yourself, and do not allow any guest(s) to enter the space without making sure they’re registered at the Welcome Desk.

Either are desks.

Be fair, we need to run a business here too. If the number of members or other guests regularly using your desk and or the space are more than what you have signed up for, you’ll have to pay up.
