Commercial Use Policy
Geaux Cajun IT supports entrepreneurs, makers, creators, contractors, schools, product sellers, apparel decorators, Etsy sellers, and small businesses. This policy explains how commercial use works inside the maker space.
1. What Counts as Commercial Use
Commercial use includes any activity intended to generate income, support a business, fulfill customer orders, produce products for resale, create inventory, manufacture goods, prototype products for sale, provide paid services, or support a business operation.
Examples include:
- Etsy or Shopify products
- Customer orders
- Apparel production
- Signage production
- Product prototyping
- Market inventory
- Promotional products
- Contractor work
- Branded goods
- Wholesale or retail products
2. Membership Level
Commercial use may require a Pro Membership, Business Membership, Private Maker Bay, separate production agreement, or staff approval depending on volume, equipment, time, and operational impact.
Starter or basic access plans may not include commercial production rights.
3. Production Volume
Geaux Cajun IT may limit production volume, machine time, storage, materials, or access if a user’s commercial activity interferes with other members, classes, reservations, staff work, customer orders, or safety.
4. Product Responsibility
Users are responsible for their own product quality, product safety, labeling, packaging, claims, warranties, customer service, compliance, taxes, and business obligations.
Geaux Cajun IT does not guarantee that a member’s product is suitable for sale.
5. Intellectual Property
Users are responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to produce, sell, engrave, print, cut, copy, or modify any design, logo, artwork, trademark, copyrighted work, file, or customer-supplied material.
Geaux Cajun IT may refuse work or equipment use involving questionable, infringing, illegal, hateful, unsafe, or prohibited content.
6. Materials and Machine Use
Commercial users must follow all material rules, machine reservation policies, cleanup requirements, safety procedures, and staff instructions.
High-volume use may require a separate quote, production booking, or commercial machine time rate.
7. Showroom Display
Some Business Memberships may include the opportunity to display approved products in the showroom. Display space is subject to availability, approval, product fit, pricing, presentation quality, and separate terms.
Geaux Cajun IT may remove or reject products at its discretion.
8. Taxes and Licenses
Commercial users are responsible for their own sales tax obligations, business licenses, insurance, customer transactions, and legal compliance.
9. Right to Restrict Commercial Use
Geaux Cajun IT may restrict, pause, or deny commercial use for safety, capacity, business conflict, legal concern, quality issue, misuse, disruption, non-payment, or policy violation.
