Conflicts between an Officer and any other party is to be resolved by a Board Member. The Key Holding Officer or Board Member's decision is binding until the next board meeting, at which point the stakeholders have the opportunity to appeal to the Board. If no appeal is made, the previously made decision stands. Otherwise the majority vote of the Board regarding the appeal is binding.
+
+Disciplinary Process
+801 Labs reserves the right to terminate any patronage at any time for any reason, but we strive for the process to be as fair and open as privacy and discretion allow us to be. The disciplinary process against a individual can involve one or more of the following steps:

+The Patron will be called before the Board to discuss the behavior in question.
+The Patron will be put on probation.
+Patron will be suspended for a length of time.
+The Patron will be permanently banned from the space.
+Minor conflicts would begin with a verbal warning and only proceed further as necessary. For offenses that affect safety or affects security of the space, any Key Holding Officer or Board Member have the ability to immediately suspend a Patron or guest, prohibiting access to the space. Upon this action, the Officer or Board Member must notify the Board of the suspension. This suspension is in effect until the next board meeting, at which time the suspension automatically ends unless the Board votes otherwise.
+
+Note that some offenses – including but not limited to non-payment of dues – can trigger automatic patronage suspension or termination, without a formal review by the Board or any other steps listed above. Please note, 801 Labs does not currently accept dues.
