MADE Policies

MADE is a non-profit organization and it is entirely run by its members, on a volunteer basis. The main ideology behind MADE’s policy is: Be excellent to each other.

If you suspect that something you are planning would bother the other members, it's probably not something you should do. The rules are meant to keep the space running and keep the members happy. Proposals to amend these policies can be proposed and voted on during our General Assembly meetings; The House Rules are particularly subject to change.

General Rules

• Be excellent to each other
• Members can invite non-members to visit the space whilst they are present. If the visits become frequent, the non-member should be invited to become a member.
• Members have access the space 24/7/365
• Loud machinery and noises must end by 22:00 every day (sound curfew)
• Do not treat the makerspace like your home; it is a shared space. Sleeping anywhere within the space is forbidden.
• Workbenches should be completely clean when you leave - be considerate for the next user.
• Please put tools back where you found them
• Don't defeat or hack safety features/equipment. This is for other people's safety as much as yours.
• If something is broken, fix it; don't complain. If you can't fix it, inform the members within the Telegram group chat ASAP.
• If you are the last person leaving the space, make sure all windows and doors are closed and locked, the lights are off, and all heating tools are unplugged (soldering irons, hot glue guns, 3D printers, etc.).
• Always set the alarm if you are the last person leaving
