BRYCK Startup Alliance │ House Rules & Terms of Use

Version: November 2025

These House Rules apply to all premises operated by BRYCK Startup Alliance GmbH within the Colosseum Essen (Altendorfer Straße 1, 45127 Essen, Levels 2 – 4).

They ensure smooth collaboration, protect the listed building, and maintain an inspiring, safe, and respectful work environment for all members, guests, and partners.

1. Access & Use of Premises

1.1 Access

Members with Alliance Access, Founders Desk, or Private Office generally have 24/7 access to the Colosseum. The Front Desk is located on the 3rd floor and staffed on weekdays between 9 am and 5 pm.

Meeting rooms, workshop spaces and offices are available by booking and subject to availability.

1.2 Care & Responsibility

The Colosseum is a listed (heritage-protected) building. Please treat all spaces, furniture, and equipment with special care. Any structural or decorative changes (e.g. painting, wallpapering, mounting) require prior written approval and must be fully reversible upon move-out.

1.3 Access & Security

Access to the Colosseum is managed exclusively via the Topology App. Members are digitally registered and gain entry to floors 2, 3, and 4 after activation. An automatic check-in occurs upon entry and a check-out upon leaving the building. Sharing your personal access (e.g. by logging in on another person’s device) is not permitted. Please ensure that doors and fire doors remain closed after use. Access is valid only during an active membership period.

If you experience technical issues (e.g. missing access), please contact the Front Desk (3rd floor) or frontdesk@bryck.com

2. Behavior & Shared Use

2.1 Fire Protection & Occupancy

Due to the building’s heritage status, strict fire regulations apply. Rooms may only be used by the maximum number of people allowed. Meeting rooms may have up to two additional chairs added.

In Private Offices, no additional desks may be installed – smaller seating (e.g. a lounge chair) is allowed.

2.2 Conduct & Atmosphere

We value a respectful, friendly, and inclusive community. Please keep noise levels moderate to allow focused work. Electrical devices (e.g. space heaters) may only be used with prior approval.

🐾 2.3 Animals at the Colosseum

Well-behaved and house-trained animals are welcome at the Colosseum. Please bring a personal blanket and if needed, a water or food bowl for your pet. Regular kitchen dishes must not be used as drinking or feeding bowls. If issues or conflicts arise, we’ll find a fair solution together.

Assistance animals are, of course, always welcome.

6.2 Communication

Please keep your contact details (email, Slack, phone) up to date. Important notifications will be sent via email or Slack. All members agree to the use of the following communication tools: Slack for day-to-day communication, Cobot for room and membership bookings and Topology for digital access management.

The Colosseum address may be used as a mailing address for all memberships. A commercial register entry (Handelsregister) at this address is only permitted for Founders Desk or Private Office memberships.

We’re happy for you to present your company as part of the BRYCK Startup Alliance. We may feature your logo and company name in our network communication (website, print materials, and events).

8. Events & Room Usage

The exclusive meeting room on the 4th floor can be booked only via the Front Desk. It is primarily reserved for BRYCK’s own appointments but may be used by members for important meetings with partners, press, or similar occasions. It is not intended for daily use, as sufficient alternative meeting spaces are available.

The Workshop Space can also be booked through the Front Desk. Availability for both spaces can be viewed in Cobot. All other rooms can be booked independently. After use, rooms must be left clean and tidy.

Please return dishes and glasses to the kitchen – ideally directly into the dishwasher.

9. Special Agreements

Any special arrangements are defined in advance through the HubSpot offer and are separately noted in your membership. By confirming your membership in Cobot, you also confirm your agreement with all terms stated here and in your individual offer.

10. Force Majeure & Updates

In cases of force majeure (e.g. strikes, power outages, natural events), services may be temporarily limited. We will inform members as early as possible. BRYCK reserves the right to update these rules when necessary.
