Liability Form
All students must fill out the EDC Liability & Policy Form before they can borrow resources from the EDC.
Resource Liability
Patrons understand that they are solely responsible for the resources they have checked out under their name.
Patrons are responsible for paying the FULL amount of any replacement or repair costs and/or insurance deductibles for any instances of loss, theft or damage to equipment or facilities while in their possession, including concealed or unreported damage discovered after return.
Resources are considered to be in a patron's possession:
(a) From the time the items or facilities are checked out from the EDC until the time that they are checked in & thoroughly gear checked by a member of the EDC staff
(b) Or while patrons are using the items or facilities as part of a facilitated course
Equipment Check
Patrons understand it is their responsibility to check all resources immediately upon checkout.
Patrons are to report any equipment damaged, non-functional, or missing from their checkout to EDC staff immediately before leaving the EDC vicinity.
Patrons are to report any equipment damaged, non-functional, or missing from facilities to the EDC. Patrons are to report any facility that has been left in an unstable or messy state to the EDC right away.
Emails
Patrons understand that the EDC will automatically send emails to their TMU email account and that it is the Patron's responsibility to check their emails.
If you do not receive an email when reserving, picking up or returning, check with the EDC immediately as there may be an issue.
You will also receive checkout return reminders.
KeyTracer Agreement
Patrons agree that when their checkout involves using the Keytracer system, all policies of a in person checkout apply. Patrons are responsible for the facility they are using and will return all facilities to their original state when done.
Patrons accept that failure to return the keys/cards by the end time of the checkout will result in a fine in accordance with the Fine Policy. Failure to return the key will result in the replacement cost of lock and key, and/or loss of access to the facility.
Patrons will not pass the access key or card to another patron. The key/access card must be returned to the Keytracer cabinet before the end time of the checkout.
Fine Policy
While the EDC does not charge for borrowing items, there are fines due to late returns, damaged items, lost & stolen items, and improper usage fines. Details can be found on the EDC Fine Policy (opens in new window) page.
