1. General

  • EKKO can ask you for a valid ID. Always bring your ID when visiting EKKO.
  • By entering EKKO, you’re agreeing on the possibility of being searched. If you’re rejecting this, you’re risking denied entrance.
  • When leaving EKKO, we ask visitors to leave quietly and not hang around in front of the door, in order to allow our neighbors to get their rest. EKKO is located in a special place in the city, and that also means that we have to take our surroundings into account. So be kind to EKKO and be kind to the neighborhood.
  • For your and our safety, EKKO uses security cameras that are making tape recordings on a continuous base. Everyone who visits EKKO, agrees that they will be recorded by security cameras. In case of calamities, these recordings can be used as supporting evidence to third parties.
