ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND SCOPE
By completing membership registration, entering into a lease agreement, making a payment, or accessing the facility, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and Community Rules.
Every individual accessing or utilizing Clarkston Cowork facilities and services must be a paid member in good standing. Exceptions are strictly limited to registered Day Pass holders, invited guests attending a business meeting with a member in a designated meeting area, and attendees of authorized special events.
BILLING, PAYMENT, AND CANCELLATION

Standard cancellation requires at least sixty days written notice prior to the end of the initial contractual term or any subsequent month-to-month renewal period.
The security deposit is held to cover damages beyond normal wear and tear. Early termination prior to completing the agreed contractual term results in full forfeiture of the security deposit as a cancellation penalty.
Upon lease termination, all personal items must be removed within 72 hours. Remaining items after 72 hours are deemed abandoned and forfeited to management.

To maintain a secure environment for all members, access controls are strictly monitored and enforced. Issued key fobs and Personal Access Codes are non-transferable and are intended solely for the individual registered member.
You are strictly forbidden from sharing your key fob, PIN, or digital credentials with coworkers, guests, or non-members. Allowing unauthorized non-members into the building is a material breach of this Agreement.
Lost or stolen key fobs must be reported immediately for deactivation. Replacement key fobs incur a replacement fee.
