House Rules

Membership

In order to become a member, you need to do the following:

 - Fill out a membership form.
 - Setup a monthly bank transfer and send an email to registration@techinc.nl
   with the reference you used to pay - for example your name followed by 'techinc'. 

If in the future you change the amount you pay each month for membership Please can you email the treasurer (treasurer@techinc.nl) to let him know that you have changed it

Tech Inc propose to operate a 'pay what you can' scheme. There will be a suggested recommended amount which we hope all members can meet. The recommended amount will be set at a level that ensures we cover our costs.

If you intend to only use the space once in a while, if at all, then please feel free to pay a representative amount which is lower than the recommended amount. The more you use the space, the more we would expect you to pay to help cover the running costs.

Pricing Guideline

 - Minimum amount to become a member should be 5 EUR per month
 - Recommended amount is currently 20 EUR month
 - if you cannot afford to pay anything but would still like to be a member of the community, please approach the board.

Exemption from minimum payment amount

A majority of the board needs to approve any exception to fees (ie. paying below the minimum membership amount - currently 5 euro). The exemption needs to be re-examined on an annual basis.

Possibility of paying per month + set date for checking membership fees

Members can choose to pay their membership fee yearly or per month. If they choose to pay per month they must pay before the 7th of the month they pay their membership fees for.

Notification of membership fee changes

Any member can request a change of his or her membership fee throughout the year, but will have to provide valid reason to the board. Valid reasons can be, but are not necessarily limited to: moving house/job relocation/getting fired/unforeseeable financial setbacks. Ultimately it is at the board's discretion. The board is expected not to accept trivial or fabricated reasons as valid justification.

Non-paying members and overdue fees

When a payment is missed, you will receive an email with a reminder.

• If after a month the payment is still due, a board member will try to personally contact the member.
• If after 2 months the payment is still due, your fob will be disabled and an other email will be sent by the board.
• If after 3 months the payment is still due, you will no longer be a member.

Warning system and revoking membership

When a member has been disruptive to the community (and the board have recevied a formal complaint) they will get a warning from the board.

When three warnings have been given to a member (for different types of disruption) their access privileges will be revoked.

When a member has repeated the same disruptive behaviour that warranted a warning, a second warning will be deemed enough to revoke access privileges.

Discretionary budget

There is a budget of 50 euro per month for 'necessities', this can not be carried over to the next month. Its intended only for small items that are necessary for the running/cleaning of the space. For items to be added the list of necessities, a group of 5 is required. This consists of 4 members and a board member.
