WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FOR BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS

WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FOR BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS

The Banyule Toy Library ("Provider") is pleased to make bicycles, balance bikes and scooters available to subscribers ("the Service").

As a subscriber to the Service you acknowledge that there are dangers and risks inherent with bicycle and scooter riding ("the Activity") to which any child under your supervision ("Your Child") may be exposed.

The Provider is not responsible for providing protective clothing or bicycle helmets and it is your responsbility to ensure that Your Child wears a helmet at all times and is otherwise appropriately attired when participating in the Activity. You agree that Your Child will participate in the Activity at your own risk. You also agree to voluntarily assume responsibility for supervising the Activity and any injury, death or property damage you or Your Child may suffer or cause as a result of participating in the Activity.

To the maximum extent possible at law, you (both in your personal capacity and on behalf of Your Child) agree to release, hold harmless and indemnify the Provider and its respective officers, employees, servants, agents and contractors (the "Indemnified Persons") against all actions, claims, suits, costs, expenses, demands and damages suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Persons or any one or more of them by reason of, or in respect of, or in any manner whatsoever arising out of, or caused by, your use of the Service or Your Child’s participation in the Activity.

You agree that you are subscribing to the Service on the express condition that the Provider:

a) will, under no circumstances be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever for any death, loss, accident, damage or injury to you, Your Child or any of your servants, agents, contractors, visitors, or invitees or any other person whatsoever (“Related Party”) which may happen as a result of your use of the Service or Your Child participating in the Activity; and
b) will not incur or be under any liability whatsoever to you, Your Child, or to any Related Party for any loss, damage, or injury to or in respect of any of your property or of any Related Party’s property.

The provider is not liable to you, Your Child or any Related Party in respect of any indirect or consequential loss. For avoidance of doubt, ‘consequential loss’ means loss or damage arising from a breach of contract, tort (including negligence), under statute or any other basis in law or equity of an indirect or consequential nature including, but without limitation, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss or denial of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of business reputation, future reputation or publicity, damage to credit rating and indirect, remote, abnormal or unforeseeable loss, or any similar loss whether or not in the reasonable contemplation of the parties.

Terms & Conditions of Application

Membership types and fees
Membership begins from the day you pay your fee. The fee is non-refundable.

Membership shall be forfeited if:

fines are not paid within one month of falling due
excessive damage to toys or to our premises
your duty requirement is not met and you have opted for the volunteer membership

Open Sessions
Please allow yourself enough time to complete your borrowings during our session times.

The library is closed on public holidays, the entire Easter Weekend and on the Monday prior to the Melbourne Cup holiday. It is also closed for approximately 3 weeks during the summer school holidays (unless otherwise advised). For operational purposes, we reserve the right to amend our opening hours, when required.

Borrowing guidelines
Upto 5 toys can be borrowed for a period of 6 weeks:
1 x 3 week initial borrow
+
1 x free 3 week renew

You are welcome to change toys as often as you like, and renewals may be done in session or by using your Member login in the online member portal.

Toy responsibility
We want all children to have fun and enjoy the toys, however, members are ultimately responsible for the toys they borrow. This includes, but is not limited to, the correct use of the toy, the age of the child playing with the toy, taking care with small parts and magnets, and ensuring toys are not left outside in the elements. We understand that sometimes accidents happen and if a toy is damaged or pieces lost, small fines may apply.
We recommend you count and check your items when you arrive home and if you notice any discrepancies, please email info@banyuletoylibrary.org.au as soon as possible.

When selecting, please choose items which are age/ability appropriate for your child/ren.

Returning toys
All toys must be returned clean (see Toy cleaning information on our website). Not only does this help prolong the life of the toys, it means you will not open up the items you have borrowed to find them covered with sticky finger prints or filled with sand. All bags, boxes, instructions etc. must be returned.

When you arrive at the library, return your toys to the Coordinator on duty. All toys will be counted and we will advise via email if we discover missing/broken pieces.

Fines
If fines reach $20, membership will be suspended until the fine is cleared. The Coordinator has the discretion to waive fines but only in exceptional circumstances. The Committee reserves the right to suspend or withdraw membership in the event of significant unpaid fines or consistent periods of lengthy overdue loans.

Overdue toys
Fines may be payable for late return of toys:

Late return of toys: $1 per toy per week overdue (7 days grace is given)

Missing pieces
Each toy bag/box has a label which details the contents. Please check all pieces are accounted for when returning your toys.

Missing piece fines:

Minor piece not integral to the toy’s usability: $2 per missing piece
Major/integral piece: $5 per missing piece
**Integral piece is a piece which makes it unusable or significantly reduces its play value. We reserve the right to charge more on a case by case basis.
Raeco bag or damaged box: $2 per bag/box

**Note : if the missing piece is later found, the fine will be refunded or credited.

Please do NOT substitute pieces. All toys are photographed and catalogued and any changes must be authorised by the Coordinator.

Damaged toys
Sometimes accidents happen, and if a toy is damaged by a member, it may need to be removed from the collection. A small fine may be charged with each damaged toy assessed individually.

Member roster shifts – applicable for Volunteer memberships only
To keep our membership costs low, volunteer memberships are offered. Volunteer members will be required to volunteer for 3 hours or its equivalent (e.g. participating in stock-take, Bunnings BBQ, promotional event or being a member of the committee).

Signing up for roster shifts is done via our online system. A shift involves checking returned toys against the inventory list on the toy’s bag/box and putting them away. Members are welcome to bring their own children to the toy library during roster shifts.

Become more involved in your Toy Library
The Banyule Toy Library is managed by a voluntary parent, member committee, elected annually. We always welcome new committee members and have a number of short and long term projects and positions available. You don’t need any particular experience to be a valuable committee member, just a willingness to participate and take an interest in the future direction of the Banyule Toy Library. Volunteering with committee is both rewarding and enjoyable, and offers all members a chance to have input to how the Banyule Toy Library operates.
