FAB20 Membership Agreement

This translation is provided for reference. The Estonian text is the legally binding version; it is the one signed in the member cabinet.

Parties. This agreement (the “Agreement”) is concluded between RainWalker OÜ (registry code 16704677, Pärnu mnt 30-1, 10141 Tallinn, Estonia — the “Operator”) and the person who has signed the Agreement (the “Client”). The date of conclusion is the date of signing.

1. Definitions

1.1. The Space — the FAB20 premises operated by the Operator at Pärnu mnt 30, Tallinn, Estonia: the coworking room and the workshop (hackspace), together with their furnishings and equipment.

1.2. The Cabinet — the personal area of the fab20.ee website available to the Client after signing in. The Agreement is signed, Access Days are bought, the door of the Space is opened and the Operator's notices are delivered through the Cabinet.

1.3. Access Days — the right, paid for by the Client, to use the Space for a certain number of calendar days within the zone chosen at purchase (the coworking room, the workshop, or the whole Space).

1.4. The Privacy Policy — the description of personal data processing published on fab20.ee, in its current version.

2. Conclusion and validity of the Agreement

2.1. The Agreement is signed once — with a qualified electronic signature (Smart-ID) in the Cabinet, or in another legally binding way agreed with the Operator.

2.2. Only a person of at least 18 years of age with active legal capacity may be a Client. By signing the Agreement, the Client confirms meeting these requirements.

2.3. The account and the Cabinet are personal: access to them may not be given to other people. Actions performed through the Client's account are considered the Client's actions. Rights under the Agreement are not transferable to others.

2.4. The Agreement is concluded for an indefinite term. Having or not having Access Days does not terminate the Agreement: a Client without paid days simply has no access to the Space.

2.5. Access Days, equipment rental and other services are bought under this Agreement and require no separate contracts.

2.6. The Privacy Policy is an integral part of the Agreement and applies in its current version. The Operator notifies of material changes through the Cabinet or by e-mail.

2.7. When the text of the Agreement changes, the Operator publishes a new version. To continue buying Access Days, the Client signs the new version in the Cabinet; days already paid for remain valid on the previous terms.

2.8. The Client keeps an up-to-date e-mail address in the Cabinet. A notice sent to the Cabinet and to the address provided is considered delivered.

2.9. The Agreement is drawn up in Estonian; translations are provided for reference. In case of discrepancies, the Estonian text prevails.

3. Access Days and payment

3.1. Access Days are bought in the Cabinet at the prices valid at the moment of purchase. The prices include VAT, the use of the chosen zone's equipment, consumables within reason, supporting amenities (kitchen, coffee, internet) and cleaning.

3.2. Payment is made by card through a payment provider, with a promo code or with a gift certificate. A promo code and a certificate count as payment.

3.3. Purchased days go into a reserve and activate when the door of the Space is opened for the first time. From the moment of activation the days run consecutively as calendar days, whether or not the Client visits the Space. Days bought in addition connect automatically after the current ones end.

3.4. Days in the reserve are kept for at least 12 months from the moment of purchase.

3.5. If the purchased days have not yet started, the Client may withdraw from the purchase within 14 days of it by a notice to clients@fab20.ee — the Operator refunds the full price of that purchase. Opening the door activates the days and constitutes the Client's consent to the start of the service.

3.6. The composition and availability of the equipment may change (repair, replacement, removal). If the equipment for which the Client bought Access Days turns out to be unavailable, the Operator, at the Client's request, extends the days by the time of unavailability or refunds the price of the unused days. If the whole Space is unavailable for reasons on the Operator's side, active days are extended by the time of unavailability.

3.7. If a payment is cancelled or reversed (including via chargeback), the days corresponding to it are annulled. The price of days already used out of such a payment remains the Client's debt.

4. Access to the Space

4.1. The Space is open around the clock, without days off, except for technical problems and special cases that the Operator announces in advance where possible. There is no staff in the Space: access and work are fully self-service.

4.2. Only Clients with a signed Agreement and active Access Days may be present in the Space — within the zone of their plan. The exception is events for which the Operator has announced a special access arrangement.

4.3. The door is opened from the Cabinet. The door may be opened only while standing right next to it, and only for oneself. Letting other people or animals in is not allowed.

4.4. If the Client has let an outsider into the Space, the Operator may terminate the Agreement immediately (clause 8.3).

4.5. Parts of the Space marked “Team only” may not be entered, even if the passage is actually open.

4.6. When the Access Days have ended, the Client leaves the Space or buys new days.

5. Using the Space

5.1. The Client uses the Space so as not to disturb other Clients and follows the guidance on the equipment pages of fab20.ee (instructions, safety requirements, induction requirements).

5.2. The Client studies the equipment page before using the equipment for the first time. By starting to work with the equipment, the Client confirms having studied the instructions and having the skills for safe work — including the general skills of handling such equipment that the instructions do not list separately. If the equipment page requires an induction, working without it is not allowed.

5.3. The Operator may restrict the Client's access to particular equipment — for example, until an induction is passed or after an incident.

5.4. Only materials permitted by the equipment's instructions may be processed on it. The Client uses their own materials at their own risk and is responsible for the consequences of processing them.

5.5. Faulty or damaged equipment may not be used: on discovering a fault, the Client stops working and informs the Operator. Repairing or modifying the equipment yourself is not allowed.

5.6. In the Space it is not allowed to:

• use the premises for living or for parties;
• make more noise than the work requires;
• damage the premises, the furniture, the finishes and the equipment;
• smoke in any form (including e-cigarettes) in the premises and at the building entrance, or use narcotic substances;
• be under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• take the Operator's equipment, furniture, materials or other items out of the Space — except equipment rented through the Cabinet (clauses 5.11–5.15);
• use the address of the Space as a legal or postal address without the Operator's written consent;
• use the Space's internet connection for unlawful activities.

5.7. The quiet rule applies in the coworking room: phones are switched to silent, conversations and calls are kept quiet or taken outside the working area.

5.8. When finishing work, the Client cleans up: the workplace is left clean, dishes go into the dishwasher. Occupying desks with belongings “in reserve” or leaving things where they disturb others is not allowed.

5.9. Consumables are included within reason for the Client's own projects. In case of systematic excessive use, the Operator may restrict the use or offer separate terms.

5.10. The Client places their own large or stationary equipment in the Space only as agreed with the Operator (clients@fab20.ee).

5.11. Equipment rental. Equipment marked on fab20.ee as available for rent may be taken out of the Space for the period the Client chooses when ordering on the equipment page or in the Cabinet. The rental is paid in advance at the price shown on the equipment page (VAT included) and is concluded under this Agreement, with no separate contract.

5.12. The rental period starts on the day of payment; the equipment must be back in the Space by the end of the last day of the period. To pick up and return the equipment, the door of the Space opens for the Client even without active Access Days; in that case the Client takes or returns the equipment and leaves — working in the Space without Access Days is not allowed.

5.13. The Client marks the pick-up and the return in the Cabinet. The equipment is returned in the condition and completeness it was received in, normal wear excepted.

5.14. For loss, damage or non-return of rented equipment the Client is liable under section 6: the Operator may claim the cost of repair or replacement and, for a late return, the rental fee for every day of delay at the same rate. No deposit is taken.

5.15. A paid rental that has not started (the equipment has not been picked up) may be cancelled by writing to clients@fab20.ee before the end of the first day of the period, with a full refund. Picking up the equipment starts the service with the Client's consent, and the fee is no longer refundable.

6. Liability and safety

6.1. The Client is liable for damage caused by them — and by any person they have let into the Space — to the premises, the equipment, other Clients or third parties. The Operator may recover from the Client all resulting costs, including the costs of recovery.

6.2. The Space is an environment with potentially dangerous equipment. The Client understands the risks of working unsupervised, acquires the necessary knowledge and skills themselves and, to the extent permitted by law, assumes responsibility for their actions and their consequences. The Operator is not obliged to train the Client and does not supervise their work.

6.3. The Operator is not responsible for the safekeeping of the Client's personal belongings or data in the Space.

6.4. The Operator does not insure the Client or their property. If desired, the Client arranges insurance themselves.

6.5. To the extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable to the Client for indirect losses: lost profit, loss of contracts, loss of data and similar losses. This limitation does not apply where the law prohibits applying it (including in case of the Operator's intent or gross negligence).

6.6. The Space is under video surveillance with recording — for the safety of the Clients and the property. The recordings may be used to establish the circumstances of incidents and violations. The processing of the recordings is described in the Privacy Policy.

6.7. There is no staff in the Space. In case of fire, injury or another threat to life and health, the Client calls 112 and then notifies the Operator. The Client reports any other incidents and damage to the Operator without delay (clients@fab20.ee or the form in the Cabinet).

7. Personal data

7.1. The Operator processes the Client's personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy and the legislation of the EU and Estonia.

7.2. The signed copy of the Agreement is kept by the Operator as a digital signature container and is available to the Client in the Cabinet.

8. Termination of the Agreement

8.1. The Client may terminate the Agreement at any time by a digitally signed notice to clients@fab20.ee. The price of non-activated Access Days is refunded; activated days are not compensated.

8.2. The Operator may terminate the Agreement without stating reasons by notifying the Client through the Cabinet or by e-mail. In that case the Client is refunded the price of all unused Access Days, including the remainder of the activated ones.

8.3. If the Client breaches the Agreement, the Operator may terminate the Agreement or suspend access immediately. The price of Access Days is not refunded in that case. The Operator may refuse to conclude a new Agreement with such a Client.

8.4. If the Client's belongings remain in the Space after the Agreement has ended or the Access Days have run out, the parties agree on a time for handing them over via clients@fab20.ee. Belongings not claimed within 2 months may be disposed of by the Operator.

9. Disputes and governing law

9.1. The Agreement is governed by the law of the Republic of Estonia.

9.2. The Operator can be contacted at any time: clients@fab20.ee. The parties strive to resolve disagreements by negotiation.

9.3. If no agreement is reached, the dispute is resolved in the courts of Estonia; the court of first instance is Harju County Court. The Client's statutory consumer rights (including recourse to the Consumer Disputes Committee) are not limited by this.

9.4. The invalidity of an individual provision of the Agreement does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
