Creative States

Overview

Dear Resident,
We have created the Creative States House Rules (after this, the CS House Rules) with your your safety and convenient residency in mind. It is mandatory for all residents of the Creative States (hereinafter referred to as CS) to follow these rules.

In general, we expect that you to refrain from engaging in any activity that may reasonably disrupt, damage, or endanger the CS, our employees, other Residents, any guests or any other third parties or any pets.

The CS House Rules govern the expected behaviour at the CS Space (office building, including Common Areas, Private Rooms, Meeting Rooms, Skype Rooms), which you must comply with while using the Services.

By choosing to stay in the CS or by commencing the use of immovable and movable facilities as well as technical facilities and services located within the CS, Residents or Visitors confirm that they have read the CS House Rules, fully accept them, and commit to complying with them throughout their stay.

In the event of non-compliance with the CS House Rules, the CS has the right, at its discretion, to restrict or terminate the rights of certain Residents or Visitors to stay in the CS or to use the facilities and Services within the CS Space.

The CS House Rules are available on the website creativestates.net/house-rules and may be revised periodically. You will always receive prior notification when any revisions occur via the Creative States App.

Community Managers

Our Community Managers are assigned to each Resident and serve as a single point of contact, coordinating any requests and/or issues you might have.

If you have a specific request, such as billing or purchasing additional services, please contact your community manager and you will be immediately directed to the appropriate specialist.

Access

Each Resident is given an individual access card. To receive an access card, you or your company need to have a valid Residency Agreement with the CS.

Residents with the Private Office price plan get a personalized access card with their name and photo, which can only be used by them.

Residents with the Hot Desk price plan are provided with a regular access card without the name and photo, meant for their use only.

Residents can also use the mobile app as a pass.

Visitors are provided with special guest cards that are linked to the inviting Company and/or the Resident, following the Guests & Visitors rules specified below.

In case you have lost your access card, please inform your Community Manager and/or our Service Desk by phone or e-mail within 2 hours to block it and issue the new one. Please be aware that the replacement of the access card will be charged - 10 USD for regular card and 20 USD for personalized card.

We hope it will never happen, but if you ever decide to terminate your Agreement with the CS, please make sure to return your access card to your Community Manager by 18:00 on the last day of the Agreement.

We do have 24/7 CCTV surveillance in common areas of the CS space. All Residents and their guests give their consent to photo and video recording, audio recording of them personally, as well as minors/minor members of their family, as well as their animals during the entire period of their stay in the CS with the possibility of publication and further distribution (including with the participation of the mass media).

Guest & Visitors

We are always happy to host guests. To make their visit safe and other Residents comfortable, we ask you to follow a few rules:

Guests are welcome during the following hours:
Monday - Friday: 8:00 – 20:00
Saturday and holidays : 10:00 – 17:00
Sunday: Closed.

Guests must use a guest card to enter the CS space. Guest cards can be obtained at the reception after registering in the visitor management system.

During registration, guests need to provide their legal name, company, specify the resident they are visiting, and sign the registration form. Once the guest is registered, the corresponding resident will receive an email notification.

Residents should not use their own access card for passing guests to the CS. It is a serious violation of our security policies and may result in temporary card blocking or termination of your residence at the CS.

Residents can also send an invitation to their guests, which speeds up the registration process.

Please refer to the visitor management instructions for more details.

Please don't forget that your guest has to return a guest access card to the Reception Desk and log out. For a lost card we charge 10$ from the Residents.

We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone at the CS.

For Private Office Residents - you have a 2-hour daily limit for a guest visit per person. Each extra visiting hour costs 5 USD and will be automatically billed to the Resident's account.

For Hot Desk, Fixed Desk Residents– visiting hour costs 5 USD and is automatically billed to the Resident's account.

While at the CS, the Resident is fully responsible for behavior and any losses or damages caused by their guests and should be prepared to cover it.
