Printing Policy for Members at TheCircle.WorkPrinting Policy for Members at TheCircle.Work We are big fans of the green revolution, and a desire to preserve our environment. Every day, we are moving towards having a more sustainable workplace, one that is more energy-efficient and paperless. But we understand and realize that there is a lot of paperwork required to sustain day-to-day operations for any company. To this end, we have enabled all our members to have access to a certain number of credits that are applicable to their printing needs. The number of credits are assigned based on the eligibility of the member, and are allocated as a pool for their entire organization; e.g.. if you have 50 credits (monetary value of 100) eligible per member, then an organization of 10 people be given a collective pool of 500 credits with monetary value of 1000 which they can utilize. If any member takes a printout of a page, then the pool would be reduced based on the type of print given. Utilization of printing credits is based on the table below. The above policy is applicable to Circle members who are part of Dedicated and Private seats plans. No credits will be allocated to those members who are on Hot Desk and Day Pass plans. No credits will be allocated to external members who are booking meeting rooms and event spaces. We have provided shared printer/s on each floor/location and all members have access to them through the Papercut printing software. Our Community Team will help your team get onboarded to print via papercut. For more information or any assistance, feel free to get in touch with our Community Team through the below channels: Email: community@thecircle.work Call: 011-41183787 Thankyou, The Circle Team

Meeting Room Policy for Members at TheCircle.WorkMeeting Room Policy for Members at TheCircle.Work Even the most productive teams have regular checkpoints where they get together and get their tactics aligned with their strategy and vision. You need to break-out into meetings or conferences where you hash out yourbest ideas and how you want to set-about achieving those big goals. We at the TheCircle.Work have a variety of spaces for our members to choose, ranging from large fully-serviced boardrooms to informal lounges. Our internal nomenclature for these rooms is rather simple, and you’ll get used to it fairly quickly. There are large rooms (16+ seats) that are termed as Conference/Board Rooms. All the other rooms are classified as Meeting Rooms. We want to make a few salient points so that the usage and allocation of these rooms are fair to all members of our space: Individual members have a fair credit allocation of 1 booking credit per month that in-turn pools for all members of their organization collectively. Each booking credit has a monetary value equal to the hourly price of the smallest capacity meeting room at any of the locations. Please refer to the meeting rooms’ tariff for your respective location. Credits are applicable to all rooms designated as Meeting Rooms (1 credit per hour), Conference Rooms (2 credits per hour) and Boardrooms (3 credits per hour). All bookings are treated as an organizational booking and not an individual booking, this means that any member of the organization can book meeting rooms with credits as long as their organization has the credits available.
