This Agreement does not create a lease, sublease, tenancy, or any real property interest. The relationship between the parties is strictly that of licensor and licensee.

3.2 Seat Availability & Reconfiguration: Hot desk seating is provided on a first-come, first-served basis without guaranteed positioning. For Dedicated Desk memberships, Operator reserves the right to reassign or adjust the desk workstation location upon seven (7) calendar days' written notice if operational necessity or spatial reconfiguration requires.

6.2 Non-Transferability & Anti-Tailgating: Keycards and digital codes are issued strictly for individual member use. Lending credentials or admitting unauthorized individuals without staff check-in is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate license revocation.

Use of Campus Works' physical address as a corporate headquarters, commercial mailing destination, or state business entity registration is restricted exclusively to Dedicated Desk members in active standing or authorized Virtual Office add-ons.
