   * The Makerspace is not your bedroom. Power naps are fine. Late hacking sessions are fine. Intentionally sleeping the night is not and will breach Reuse Centre rules which could jeopardise everyone's access to the Makerspace.
   * The Makerspace is not your kitchen. We have a kettle and you can make tea and coffee in the Makerspace. Use the Reuse Centre Canteen if you want to heat or consume food.
-  * The Makerspace is not your shed. We have limited storage, which is in high demand. Ensure your possessions left at the space comply with our Stuff, Storage, and Stickers Guide, and don’t store stuff here that’s not related to your current projects.

   * The Makerspace is not your address. Getting project parts delivered to the Makerspace is fine, but don’t use Makerspace as your address on official documents or register your business here. Find the address in the [[members:buildingrules|Building Access Rules and Information - Reuse Centre]]
 ===== Give Back to the Makerspace =====
-We don’t employ any staff, so to keep the Makerspace running smoothly we rely on all members giving a little of their time in proportion to usage they get out of the space.

 ===== Commercial use of the Makerspace =====
-Using the Makerspace for business purposes (such as prototyping your start-up’s products) is fine, but remember that your business is no more important than any other member’s project. You do not get priority access to equipment, storage, or workspaces. You can’t expect other members to stay out of your way, stay quiet, or give up their turn on equipment, just because you’re doing “business stuff”.
