HOUSE RULES

We provide space and tools to carry out repairs on your broken items with as much or little help/guidance as you need from skilled volunteers.

1. Repairs are free of charge.

2. You are expected to remain with the repairer if you would like to have your item repaired, in order to see how it is done and to gain new knowledge/skills. 

3. Items should not be left with the repairer and collected at a later time, but where the repair itself makes this necessary, no responsibility can be accepted for its safe-keeping.

4. Some repairs may not be possible, and may be refused.  

5. Items found to be beyond repair after being opened up or repair attempted - volunteers are not obliged to reassemble them.

6. If people are waiting to use the space or tools you have been using, please let them do so before you start repairing another of your items. 

7. Only 1 item per person will be examined/repaired at busy times.  Visitors with additional items will need to join the back of the queue.

8. Dangerous tools and equipment are present - parents must exercise control over and be responsible for their children at all times.

9. Replacement parts (eg. zips, buttons, plugs, leads, fuses, etc.) will need to be paid for, or you can pop out and buy them from a shop.   

10. Clearing the area in which you have been working and removing broken items that could not be repaired is your responsibility.

11. No guarantees for repairs undertaken.

12. Donations appreciated to go towards repair materials and running costs.

Repairs are undertaken by unpaid volunteers so this reflects the allocation of risks and limitation of liability.  Neither the organisers of the Repair Café nor the volunteers are liable for any loss that may result from advice or instructions concerning repairs, for the loss of items handed over for repair, for indirect or consequential loss or for any other kind of loss resulting from work undertaken.  The limitations set forth in these rules shall not apply to claims declared justified on the basis of liability arising by virtue of applicable consumer protection legislation which cannot be lawfully superseded.
