Welcome
Wasted Talent is a shared coworking space designed to provide a productive, respectful and enjoyable environment for its members.
By purchasing a membership, pass or bundle and using the space, you agree to these Membership Terms & House Rules.
Memberships
Memberships are intended for use by the named member unless otherwise agreed in writing by Wasted Talent.
From time to time, Wasted Talent may approve shared-use arrangements for specific membership types or circumstances. Any approved sharing arrangement remains subject to these terms and may be withdrawn at Wasted Talent's discretion.
Membership types, pricing and inclusions are as advertised at the time of purchase.
Wasted Talent may update membership pricing, inclusions and offerings from time to time. Existing members will be given reasonable notice of any material changes.
Access
Standard access is Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
Resident members may be provided with after-hours access and a building key. Members must not share keys, alarm codes or building access with any other person.
Key Bond
Where a key is issued, a $50 key bond is payable.
The bond will be refunded upon return of the key at the end of the membership. If a key is not returned, the bond will be retained by Wasted Talent.
Guests
Guests are not permitted to work from the space unless approved in advance by Wasted Talent.
Members remain responsible for the conduct of any approved guests.
The meeting room may be used for meetings with guests, subject to availability and applicable booking fees.
Meeting Room
Resident members receive complimentary use of the meeting room, subject to availability. Meeting room bookings must be made through admin@wastedtalent.co.nz. Where external guests are attending a meeting, standard meeting room rates may apply.
Meeting room use is subject to fair use and Wasted Talent reserves the right to prioritise bookings where required.
Shared Space Etiquette

● Wash your dishes or place them in the dishwasher after use.
● Keep kitchen and shared areas tidy.
● Remove food containers, coffee cups and personal items at the end of the day.

To maintain hygiene, Wasted Talent may dispose of food left in the fridge that is likely to spoil.

Members agree to respect the privacy and confidentiality of others and must not intentionally access, use, copy, photograph, share or disclose confidential information encountered through their use of the coworking space.
Engagement with HNDRX Staff
HNDRX operates from the Wasted Talent coworking space and members may interact with HNDRX team members as part of the coworking community.

Any enquiries regarding services provided by HNDRX should be directed through HNDRX's normal business channels.
This clause does not prevent social interaction, professional networking or collaboration unrelated to services offered by HNDRX.
Photography & Marketing
From time to time, Wasted Talent may take photographs or video content within the space for marketing, social media and community purposes.
Reasonable efforts will be made not to capture confidential information, computer screens, private meetings or sensitive work.
Members who do not wish to appear in marketing content should notify Wasted Talent and reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate their preference.
