SpaceLab may provide you, as a member, with access to mail receipt, a co-working space, office equipment, wireless access, conference rooms or event space from time to time depending on the plan that you have registered for (collectively, the “Services”) as outlined above and the amenities and access provided for in your selected membership plan.
