SIB Maker Lab · The binding basis

Terms of use

Before you work in the workshop for the first time, you accept the founders' centre's terms of use. They set out what you may use, what you are answerable for, and what applies if something breaks.

The authoritative document

What is binding is the full German contract text „Nutzungsvereinbarung für das Gründungszentrum der HWR Berlin — Vereinbarung zur Nutzung von Laboren, Werkstätten und Medienstudios". It covers every facility of the founders' centre, the prototyping workshop included. What you read on this page is orientation — not a summary with legal force of its own.

What it covers

The four points that matter day to day
What the workshop is forProduction, prototyping and project work. Excluded are, among others, work involving open flames, pyrotechnics or hazardous substances, and anything that endangers other people.
When you may workAfter your induction, within opening and supervised hours. The resin printer runs supervised only.
What you answer forCareful handling of the equipment, and damage you are responsible for. The details are in the contract text — read them before you sign.
If something breaksTell the team straight away, even if it looks minor. Reported damage is a case; unreported damage is a problem.

How acceptance works

Acceptance is part of the induction: you read the agreement, the team answers your questions, and you accept it. Only then does your induction go into the register — and only that entry unlocks printer booking.

Accept now

Your acceptance is linked directly to your signed-in account. This keeps the evidence unambiguous and traceable in the internal member cockpit.

Personal acceptance

The agreement is linked to your account. Please sign in first.

How the induction works →

Covers the whole founders' centre The same agreement also covers the media studios of the SIB Media Lab. If you have already accepted it there, you do not need to do so again for the workshop — but an induction per equipment group is still required.
