Loan conditions
The borrower agrees to:
- JIGSAW
Thornbury’s Privacy
Policy.
- Return
items in the same condition as loaned except for reasonable wear
and tear (that a reasonable person would judge not to decrease the overall condition/value
of the item).
- Collect items during the time slot you selected
at checkout. If you do not attend, we reserve the
right to cancel your booking. If the booking is cancelled for this reason, any
payment you have made will be refunded. If you fail to attend an agreed
collection more than once, we may decide to suspend your account with the
Lending Library; this will not affect your access to other JIGSAW Thornbury
services.
- Return
items by the date specified, unless we agree to extend your
borrowing period. Late fees will be
accrued for each additional week beyond the due date - this will be calculated as the original loan
cost plus 20%. If an item is not
returned after three calendar months, you will be invoiced for the full
replacement cost of the item.
- Assume
all responsibility for the proper use and deployment
of the items. The borrower will not
modify, or attempt to modify the items in any way.
- Supervise the use of borrowed items and understand that JIGSAW can accept
no responsibility of injury or damage sustained whist using the items.
- Report
immediately to JIGSAW Thornbury should an item develop a fault
whilst on loan.
- Be
responsible for the cost of replacing or repairing an item
if stolen, lost or damaged whist on loan.
Items will be assessed on return and any damaged deemed unreasonable
will be charged for. You are advised to check your insurance and seek
additional cover if required.
- Provide
a deposit for certain items. This will be refunded in full if the item
is returned undamaged and in full working order by the date specified. If the item is not returned by the date
specified, late fees will be taken out of the deposit. If the item is not returned by two months
after the date specified, the deposit is non-refundable. Refunds may take up to
a week to be processed. If you need the funds more urgently, or have not
received them after a week, please contact us.
- Be responsible for the cost of
consumables (e.g., batteries).
- Notify JIGSAW Thornbury of any change
of address, phone number or email address.
In the
event that the borrower does not comply with the above, JIGSAW Thornbury
reserves the right to commence legal action to cover the equipment or its
equivalent cost, which will also include the late fees accrued (see point 4
above).
Failure
to fulfil the responsibilities outlined above may result in the removal of
JIGSAW membership.
