Our house rules, master services aggrement and terms of services

Welcome

Bremerton Work Space LLC (BWS) is a commercial premise intended for professionals and small businesses as an alternative to working out of the home or car. Access to the property is allowed through the purchase of memberships. Our house rules that go along with membership are intended to keep BWS a pleasant and productive environment where work gets done and your clients are taken care of. Please read this thoroughly.

Our Promise to You

We value having you as part of our community and are committed to doing all we can to make sure that you, guests, and fellow members have:

  1. A productive and enjoyable place to work Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm (or 24/7, depending on your membership)
  2. Work space lounges, conference room and business suites conducive to working, meeting, and collaborating.  
  3. A secure working environment.   
  4. A secure internet experience with Wi-Fi available for all membership plans and ethernet for Gold Members. 
  5. Superior color copier/printer/fax machine with scan to email which is fast and reasonable on presentation grade paper.
  6. An honest commitment to serve you to the very best of our ability.
  7. At least one BWS personnel on-site to help you with any issues.  act as a receptionist and for any technical with the business machines, wireless network, etc. That said, we are human and fallible. Should something go wrong, we’re really sorry, but BWS can’t be held legally responsible. We will, however, do whatever we can to help you resolve the issue.
  8. An always-open line of communication, and confidence that you can share with us any and all questions, concerns or ideas. ([email protected] or 206-866-3382) 

Your Responsibilities

  1. BWS is a workplace; treat the space and your neighbors with respect and consideration. 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.
  2. Your stuff is your responsibility. It’s your job to make sure that you do not leave anything at Bremerton Work Space when you leave, unless it is in your private office (Gold Members).  If you do, and after a reasonable time has passed, we can do what we want with it.
  3. Use your own stuff, not your neighbor’s. If you do need something, send up a flare. We’re here to help.  For example, we have a few USB ethernet adapters that can help you get on line if you are having problems with wireless access.
  4. Participation is an extreme sport. 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.
  5. Respect your neighbor’s smarts, and they’ll respect yours. 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 member.
  6. Conduct Policy.  
    1. Be courteous and professional to all other tenants and BWS employees.
    2. Do not disrupt the business affairs of other tenants.
    3. Your business must not violate any local, state, or national laws.
    4. Promptly document any service complaints, tenant disruptions, or improvement suggestions to management at: Bremerton Work Space LLC – Managing Director P.O. Box 5839 Bremerton, WA  98312
  7. Think before you click. No bit torrent or porn. And BWS cannot be responsible for third-party data, websites, links or services. Make sure that you’ve read and agree to our explicit Data Connection and Internet Terms of Service when connecting to this service.
  8. Be key smart. If we’ve entrusted you with a key to get into any business suites or space, then please keep it to yourself, don’t make copies and do not allow any guest(s) to enter the space without making sure they’re registered at the Welcome Desk. If your key is lost or stolen, or if you don’t return it to us when your membership ends, we’ll be keeping your key deposit.

Additional Responsibilities

  1. Each member is allowed one guest at a time, not to exceed two hours for the day.  Do not exceed one guest unless you have booked the conference room or another meeting area.  If you exceed the allowed guest limit, then we will charge them or your account for a Day Pass. 
  2. Dedicated offices for Gold Members have personal file cabinets that have locks provided by BWS. A $50 key deposit is required for Gold members that is refundable upon membership cancellation or when changing to a Bronze or Silver membership.
