Hire and late fees

• The initial 1 or 2 weeks rental will be paid at the time of borrowing. Members should return or re-hire their toys online to avoid an overdue fee. Re-hiring fees are recorded on the members borrowing record and are to be paid upon return of toys.

• Toys which are not returned within 6 weeks and 5 days of the initial borrowing date will incur an overdue fee of $20.

• All storage containers and bags will be returned with toys. If storage containers or bags are lost or damaged, a contribution toward replacement may be requested.

• If parts that are integral to a toy’s function cannot be found:

  • The member may be asked to re-borrow the toy until the missing piece is located.

  • If such parts still cannot be found the member may be asked to pay for a replacement toy .

• The toy library accepts responsibility for wear and tear of toys through ordinary play. If a toy is damaged through inappropriate use the member must buy the toy at a depreciated cost.
