The Rules

The Rules: Read this!
It’s more fun than you think. Promise.


All members must accept the rules in order to hang out with the coolest people in Rincon (and use the space*)




The Cube was created to foster and support a coworking community in Rincon Puerto Rico, by providing its members with space, tables, chairs, trash cans, Internet connectivity, a collaborative community, and other resources and stuff (such services, the "The Cube's Stuff"). By joining The Cube, our members agree to certain rules for our community ("Rules of The Cube"). Let's face it, to be part of a community such as The Cube, as each of us works hard, we should be considerate of each other, play well together, follow the Rules of The Cube, and if one of us doesn't, then it affects all of us and The Cube, so as a condition to membership, we each agree to abide by the Rules of The Cube.So here are the Rules of The Cube, which all members, including you, agree to:

  1. Behave well and treat others the way you would want to be treated or you're out of The Cube. And if you don't really care how others would treat you, then The Cube, at the request of enough members, will warn you to shape up in 30 days and if things don't improve, ship out. We know it sounds tough, but The Cube is a community and one bad Indy can spoil The Cube for the others. Basically, this means every membership is terminable by The Cube with 30 days notice with or without cause.
  2. Believe in yourself, believe in others, and especially believe in the collaborative power of the The Cube community. Network. Collaborate. Work hard. Have fun. Improve The Cube for all. Give input to make The Cube better. And if this isn't your sort of thing, see Rules of The Cube No. 1.
  3. Besides, that reminds us, The Cube is an organic thing... an ecosystem... and like all such creatures, The Cube will evolve and improve. The Cube might decide, with member input, that the Rules of The Cube need to change as well. So, while these are the Rules of The Cube today, who knows what tomorrow brings, so you're responsible for checking our website for future changes to the Rules of The Cube. We'll do what we can to get the word out on any rule changes.
  4. Be what you can be : yup, you guessed it you have marked which type of The Cube membership you want on the membership form. This means you have taken a look on our website and understand what that membership entails not only in terms of what you fees owe and when you owe them, but also what type of access and use of The Cube and The Cube Services come with that membership. If you don't pay the fee you owe when its due or you misuse your type of membership, then you're out, vamoose, gone, and if that isn't clear enough your membership is terminated, not in 30 days but immediately. don't game The Cube.
  5. Besmirch the law or The Cube and you're out. This means you won't use The Cube for any purpose that is unlawful, prohibited or just not cool, including doing anything that could damage, disable or impair any of The Cube Stuff or keep other members from using The Cube Stuff or would hurt The Cube. This also means you won't attempt to gain access to any computer systems or networks of The Cube, or attempt to obtain any materials or information not intentionally made available to all Cube members. If you attempt to do any of these bad things, then forget about 30 days under Rules of The Cube No. 1, as your membership is terminable immediately with notice from The Cube.
  6. Besides all this, you also agree not to use The Cube or The Cube Stuff, in connection with:

    a. Contests, pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk email, spamming or similar annoying behavior;

    b. Defaming, abusing, harassing, threatening or otherwise violating the legal rights (such as privacy and publicity) of others;

    c. Posting, distributing or disseminating inappropriate, profane, defamatory, obscene, indecent, unlawful or boring material or information;

    d. Uploading, reproducing, using, performing or otherwise making available, images, software orother material or information which infringes another's rights, or is protected by intellectual property laws where you don't own or license such rights; and

    e. Uploading or using files that contain viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage The Cube's or a member's computers or property.

  7. Behoove you acknowledge that during your membership in The Cube, you going to be exposed to Cube Confidences! "Cube Confidences" means information (such as business information, trade secrets, technology, customers and prospects, and other secret stuff) disclosed by The Cube or by other members of The Cube (including through your keen observation) that is confidential or proprietary in nature and simply just not known by others. It's plain and simple - you agree to keep confidential and not to disclose or use Cube Confidences, you understand that they remain the exclusive property of who disclosed them, and you don't acquire any rights to such Cube Confidences.
  8. Berate not. Don't make defamatory or disparaging comments about The Cube, The Cube or other members. Frankly, if you don't have anything good to say, then keep it to yourself or put it in the comment box (the one they dump out each night).
  9. Belittle not The Cube or its members! That's right neither The Cube nor its members will have any liability to you with respect to your access to, participation in, use of The Cube or The Cube Services, or any loss of information or other property resulting from such participation or use. So you had better make sure you are properly insured against such losses, and as a condition to being a member, you agree that you have customary business, liability and other insurance (like Renter's Insurance) in place and will keep it in place while a member.
  10. Beware, The Cube's legal eagles have required the following be CAPITALIZED, which means you're really supposed to pay attention (frankly, you're supposed to pay attention to ALL these Rules of The Cube). Here goes:

    a. The Cube PROVIDES The Cube SERVICES "AS IS" AS A SERVICE AND NOT AS A LEASE OF REAL PROPERTY, AND DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. OH YEAH, THERE IS ALSO NO WARRANTY OF TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT OR POSSESSION. THE ENTIRE RISK OF PARTICIPATING IN OR USING The Cube SERVICES, REMAINS WITH YOU. SUCK IT UP.

    b. IN NO EVENT SCube The Cube OR ITS AGENTS, OWNERS, MEMBERS, OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF PRIVACY, FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY (INCLUDING OF GOOD FAITH OR OFREASONABLE CARE), NEGLIGENCE, AND ANY OTHER LOSS) ARISING OUT OFOR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO The Cube SERVICES OR OTHERWISE.

    c.

  12. Bedraggled as we are, we are getting close to the end" You can't assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of The Cube. Since The Cube is hanging out in Rincon, we all agree that the law of the great State of Puerto Rico governs this Agreement, hon, without regard to its conflict of law principles. And we all agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all purposes under this Agreement sCube be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and everybody consents to such jurisdiction and venue. The Cube may disclose any identifying information about you and your participation in The Cube. Finally, in case someone got overzealous, in the highly unlikely event that any provision or portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part (or that the The Cube cabin suddenly, inexplicably loses air pressure), the remaining provisions of this Agreement sCube be unaffected and sCube remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Believe it or not, I acknowledge that I have stayed awake, read and even understand this Agreement and the Rules of The Cube. Even more remarkably, I agree to be bound by this Agreement and the Rules of The Cube regarding my participation in The Cube and use of The Cube Services.
