Fees & Dues
Caution Deposit (Refundable). Submission of a $50 Caution Deposit is compulsory for every member before receiving 24×7 access to the facility. The Caution Deposit will be debited only if required to offset outstanding debts including personal consumables, damage to equipment, payments owed, etc. The entire amount is refundable or transferable to your renewal (minus any outstanding debts) when your membership ends. If we use all or a portion of your Caution Deposit, renewing members will need to resubmit or top up this deposit.
General Consumables and Damage Dues (Non-Refundable). ‘GC&D’ dues are applied to various consumable items required for ongoing equipment maintenance, service and damage. This would include, but is not limited to, broken drill bits, cleaning neglect, printer maintenance, and on-site consumables used but not declared, etc. Based on monthly ($5) or annual ($50) use, these dues are mandatory and non-refundable. They are added to the cost of memberships…
