TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP

As a member of the Stoke Toy Library, you are responsible for any toys that you remove from our premises and are liable for any costs that may be incurred through toy damage, loss or theft.

PRIVACY ACT
I consent to my name appearing on rosters and being available to other volunteers on the duty roster.


HELMETS
I agree that while using any of our bikes, trikes or scooters, I will supply our own helmet, and children will wear these according to New Zealand Law.

LIABILITY CLAUSE
I assume complete and full responsibility for any and all injuries to any person or persons which result in whole or in part from using the toys I borrow from this Toy Library.  I hereby release the Toy Library from any and all responsibility in respect of any injuries so sustained either outside of or on the premises.

CARING FOR YOUR TOYS

  • Please check all toys borrowed against the parts listed on the receipt upon getting home and contact the library within 24 hours should any pieces be missing or broken. If no contact is made, any pieces missing or broken on return will be charged as per our policy. Please raise any safety concerns about a toy with us (other than age appropriateness). Thanks a lot.
  • Please do not allow children to play with the bags/boxes as they are for transportation to/from the Toy Library only.
  • Please don’t leave ride-ons, bikes, etc outside in the sun, bad weather or overnight.
  • Check “bitsy” / multiple item toys regularly as it is easier for your child to help you find something if it was played with recently.
  • Please let us know if anything is broken or if you have any safety concerns about a toy.
  • Sort out and check toys by label description or receipt before returning toys. Remember the boxes, plastic bags, instructions that you may have put away safely.
  • Please return items clean and tidy, in the condition you would like to receive them.
  • Toys returned with items missing (including bag/containers and instructions) will be reissued to you to take home and look for the missing item.  If after this two-week period a member is unable to locate the item, a non-refundable fine will be charged.  
  • Please consider replacing damaged toys and containers, or missing pieces with items of equal value.
  • All toys remain the property of the Stoke Toy Library Trust. Please do not exchange Library toys with friends even if they are Toy Library members.
