seconds for the door to open once the user has clicked on the correct PW booth in the Bitwards app. Check out the Trouble Shooting section for help with opening the door.
Access. It is important to leave the booth promptly after your booking has finished and close the door fully. This allows the calendar of bookings to run smoothly. By
closing the door fully, it ensures that only users who have paid to the use the service have access to PW. Please do not hold the door open for the next person – he or she must open the door with the Bitwards access app.

any illegal purpose. PodWork reserves the right to ban users who break this rule and to prosecute where necessary.
