Use the phone booths for calls only The phone booths are shared by all members and day pass users so please try to limit your time to 30 minutes or less. Do not use the phone booths as a private working space if you don't need to be on a call or video conference.

Clean up after yourself. Don’t leave trash and clutter. You’re welcome to spread out while you’re working, but please leave the space even better than you found it. We have a weekly cleaning service, but feel free to use any of the cleaners available under the kitchen sink.

Due to allergies and sensitivities, please refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or other strong scents.

Let us know when something needs fixing or improving by posting it in the Slack channel.

Slack community: Members receive an invitation to Slack which is a group messaging app that we use to communicate amongst members. Important information such as updated wifi credentials will be posted in the ``Members`` channel. Other information will be posted in the ``General`` channel. This is the place to learn about events, advertise your services, make a plan for happy-hour, and post your wants, needs, and cool ideas. It is not the place to post political, religious, or other polarizing information.

Make connections! One of the biggest benefits of shared working spaces is the networking opportunities. Reach out to other coworkers and get to know them and what they do. Basecamp is comprised of all sorts of businesses and professionals; data scientists, software developers, travel agents, marketers, content writers, etc. Though not all of us do business exclusively in the valley, you never know what types of relationships and ideas can form and what paths may cross at basecamp.

Dogs are allowed by private office members well behaved dogs are welcome to join their owners in private offices so long as they don't bark, whine, roam, or create distractions.

Dogs are allowed but limited for dedicated desk members There can be a maximum of two dogs in the open working space at a time. Dedicated desk members must coordinate internally (Slack) to determine schedule/availability. Each member can only have one dog at a time. We won't allow a third dog in the open space. Dog beds are only allowed in private offices or under desks.

Dogs are not allowed for hotdesk members We're sorry, but there are more folks interested in bringing dogs than we have space for so this is reserved for dedicated desk and private office members only.

All dogs and owners must abide by the following rules:

Zero Accident Policy we're in a brand new (and expensive) building and accidents tend to create a snowball effect. That means we have a zero accident policy; all dogs should be fully housebroken. Any pee/poop inside the building comes with a 6-month break from Basecamp for that particular dog.

Zero Noise Policy barking, whining, or any dog noises are not allowed. Zero. Noise. The ideal dog should be able to quietly rest by their owner's feet. They are not allowed to play with each other inside the coworking space. Getting energy out is an outdoor activity. Anyone may register a complaint about a dog by contacting Drew. 3 complaints for any particular dog will result in a 6-month break.

Responsible at all times the owner is responsible for the dog at all times. There can not be a situation where you are not available to handle a potential situation with your dog. This means if you're on a call in the phone booth, your dog must accompany you. Dogs are not allowed to free roam outside without their owners. Any situation where a dog is out of eye-sight of the owner comes with a 6-month break from Basecamp for that particular dog.

Clean up after them we have dog bags available and trashcans on both sides of the building. If dogs are roaming freely outside, we will assume they have pooped somewhere. If we have to pick up poop, we will have to re-evaluate the dog policies.

No muddy/wet paw prints: it's recommended to use the west or south entrances when it's raining or when there is snow on the ground. If their paws are dirty, please wipe them on the floor mats provided.

Again, I know these rules may sound stiff but our number one priority is happy coworkers. We have to respect what work looks like across a diverse set of individuals. We've asked, listened, and heard that dog noises are not an acceptable part of the background for everyone's workday and in some cases, members have joined the space to get away from similar types of distractions at home.

We're always open to hearing your feedback about the dog policies and we're always happy to approach these policies as democratically as possible.

-Espresso machine: One touch operation, pretty easy! Be sure to put your mug under the spout before selecting your drink.

-Rinse off your dishes and put them in the dishwasher. Dishes should not be left in the sink unless the dishwasher sign says ``Clean``. You may use any cups, plates, utensils, pots, etc. in the kitchen. If you need to clean up any spills, use the cleaning supplies under the sink.

-Recycle. There are recycling bins in the kitchen. Please rinse out any remaining food in the recyclables before putting it in the bin.

-Access to the refrigerator: Hotdesk memberships and above may store food in the fridge or pantry. Please do not eat food that is not yours.
