Agreements
Relationships are based on a series of agreements. We attempt to make our relationships with each other and with clients explicit through the following base agreements and norms.
Cultural Norms
We set and agree upon our cultural norms through our Change Up process. These are general cultural agreements that we expect all contributors, clients, and members to respect.
Contributor Agreement
All human persons who contribute to the work of the co-op are asked to agree to our Contributor Agreement. This document outlines general agreements between the co-op and the signee. Typically this is a one time thing, it opens the relationship.

Member Agreement
On top of the contributor agreement members take on extra responsibilities and benefits.

Work Agreement
Once a human person has agreed to be in relation with the co-op they will then create and regularly update a work agreement. This agreement defines the scope of their work as well as boundaries and expectations in terms of availability, rate, and work times.

Client Agreements
We also create relationships with clients through the following two explicit agreements.
Service Agreement
Like the contributor agreement the service agreement opens a relationship between the co-op and a client or group.

Statement of Work
Like the work agreement statements of work define a discrete piece of work or working arrangement between the co-op and a client.
