Aguadilla Business Center Community House Rules

At our shared workplace at the Aguadilla Business Center, we strive to create a safe, enjoyable, and respectful environment for the benefit of our entire community. Our community "house rules" define a set of norms and a code of conduct. We want to ensure that all members, guests, visitors, and coworkers follow the guidelines listed below.

Be Respectful

All members are expected to treat others with respect and must refrain from using hate speech, physical or verbal violence, or any other conduct that may be construed as derogatory or harmful to others in the community. Spread good vibes only.

Maintain ABC areas clean

Take care of our coworking premises and equipment, clean up after yourself when using the common areas, and maintain your office clean and tidy.

  • Don't spread your belongings across the entire table and chairs.

  • Don't take items from our open areas into the offices.

Kitchen Etiquette

Clean up after yourself. So let's help maintain a pleasant and inviting environment for ourselves and our coworkers.

  • Wash your dishes and place them in the drying area. Don't leave them in the sink.

  • Return ABC mugs, cups, and utensils to the kitchen.

  • The refrigerator is cleaned out every Friday except for anything labeled by a member. 

  • Don't eat any food that is not yours. 

  • Please be mindful of not eating in the shared coworking space. You may eat outside on our open terrace and enjoy the beautiful ocean view.

Don't Be the Loud

Lower your cell phone ringer and avoid loud conversations around the coworking areas. Also, using headphones instead of blasting your video calls and virtual meetings on speaker is way better. Your coworkers will thank you for it.

Be Considerate of Your Resources

Whether you're using a phone booth, printer, or snacks, try to limit your usage to what you actually need. 

Book Zoom Room & Conference Rooms Before Use

Book and check in with ABC's staff before using a conference room and Zoom room. Leave the room presentable for the next coworker and ask ABC staff if you can go over your allotted time.

Guest and Member Check-In

As a visitor, remote team member, or member using a day pass, swing by reception first to check in with ABC staff.

Members are Responsible for Their Belongings

To ensure the safety of your personal belongings, do not leave your items, such as laptops or other electronic devices, unattended. At ABC, we do not assume liability for any personal property or equipment lost, stolen, or damaged in or around the facilities.

Always Act Ethically and Lawfully

Avoid all situations and behaviors that may be construed as unethical, including solicitation of others' clients. Refrain from all inappropriate or unlawful use of images, content, media, posts, blogs, files, software downloads, internet activities, and intellectual property. Lastly, the use of illegal substances is not allowed within our community.

Animal Policy

We're big animal lovers, but we want to ensure everyone feels comfortable in our spaces. For that reason, no pets or other animals are allowed in our spaces (including public areas of the buildings where ABC is located). We do make exceptions for service animals to provide accessibility for people with disabilities.

We're a Smoke-Free Facility

Refrain from using e-cigarettes or vaporizers and smoking on any property area.

Photo and Video Shoots

Any professional photography, including headshots and recordings, must be scheduled ahead of time with ABC staff to accommodate our coworkers and ensure the availability of our spaces.

Recordings must be publicly identified, and participants must be given the option not to be recorded. Participants can request that their photos not be used for promotional purposes. To respect everyone's privacy, participants must ask before taking pictures highlighting a small group or individual.
