Borrowers Agreement and Liability Waiver

Terms & Conditions

Prior to borrowing items, all Members must create an online account inclusive of email address and credit / debit card.

RE:MAKE Newport staff are available to assist in explaining the operation of items. However, by taking possession of any item, the Member is certifying that they are capable of using that item in a safe and proper manner.

Only the Member is authorised to use RE:MAKE Benthyg items. The Member shall not permit the use of items checked out to them by any other person unless by the express permission of the Benthyg.

Members may be charged for borrowing an item. Payment methods include – Money, Time Credits or Skills.

After registering as a member, please choose and activate the appropriate membership type.

All items borrowed are to be returned to RE:MAKE Newport by close of business on their return date.

Members may renew each item if (a) the Member contacts RE:MAKE Newport by noon on the day that the return date and (b) no other Member has reserved the item. RE:MAKE Newport reserves the right to refuse or limit renewals.

RE:MAKE Newport will only be liable to you for loss or damage caused by our negligence in failing to tell you about a known fault. We will not be liable for faults of which we are not aware of. Other than this RE:MAKE Newport exclude all liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or breach of contract. Because we are not a for-profit business, the risk to you is greater than if you were paying to hire something or buy it.

The Member agrees that RE:MAKE Newport is not responsible for any manufacturing defects in the quality of workmanship or materials inherent in any borrowed items. Each time you take an item out, you must check it visually before you take it and make other checks for any faults that you may be able to identify before using it. The Member agrees that if any borrowed item becomes unsafe or in a state of disrepair, they must immediately discontinue use of the item and notify RE:MAKE

If you are borrowing electrical equipment, you must check the visible wires and plug for any damage before use. If you are using the item outside, moving it about, or using it in circumstances where it may encounter water, anything sharp or other electrical wiring, you must use a circuit breaker.

All items must be returned in the same (or better) condition as they were issued, barring normal wear and tear.
All items must be returned clean. RE:MAKE Newport, and the Member will come to an individual agreement in respect of any loss of or damage to any item, and the Member further agrees to accept the RE:MAKE Newport's assessment of the condition of items and, on return, engage in discussion of fair restitution for damage, dirtiness, delinquency, and/or loss of items. RE:MAKE Newport reserves the right to refuse the loan of any item at its discretion.

If RE:MAKE Newport is not the owner of the item and only facilitates contact between you and the Owner, RE:MAKE Newport accepts no liability for the condition of any item or any loss or damage resulting from your use of it.

Members will not borrow the items to do professional work where you are charging a fee to a third party. You will not be insured for this activity and risk your membership termination.

Members understand that you are insured to use the item that you have borrowed – but that nobody else is insured to use that item. If anyone else uses the item you have borrowed, that person is not insured for any damage to their person or their property. For example, if you are hosting an event using an item borrowed from RE:MAKE Newport, you will need your own public liability insurance.

If you borrow an item and, with our agreement, pass it on to another Borrower before it is returned to us and booked in, you remain liable to us for the return and condition of the object until it is returned to us. If you collect an item from another Borrower with our agreement, that will also be on the terms of this Agreement.
