WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FOR BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS

WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FOR BICYCLE AND SCOOTERS

The Exmouth Toy Library is pleased to make bicycles 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 does not provide protective clothing or bicycle helmets and it is your responsibility 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 the 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.

Members are required to return toys on time and clean.
Any broken or missing parts may require replacement

TOY CLEANING GUIDELINES

How to clean your borrowed toys:

Wipe the toy thoroughly with a cloth damp with either pH neutral detergent (such as diluted dishwashing detergent) or a 2-in-1 cleaner/disinfectant (most multipurpose sprays available at the supermarket).
If using a 2-in-1 multipurpose spray, the solution must be sprayed onto the cloth until it is quite damp. You can use something like an old toothbrush or a cotton bud to get into hard to reach places.
Dry the toy with a tea towel or leave to dry overnight. Please make sure the toy is completely dry before returning it to its bag or tub.
Do not submerge toys in water as they can trap water inside them or in the case of wooden toys, they can get too wet to effectively dry.

Special Tips

Toy storage bags and tubs – Wipe handles and all areas that have been touched, ensuring everything is dry before placing toys back in the bag or tub.
Baby Rattles– Do not to immerse rattles in water as they collect water which can lead to harmful bacteria developing. Wipe the surface with a cloth.
Wooden Toys and Train Sets– Wipe over. Allow time to thoroughly dry. These toys should not be immersed or soaked.
Duplo/Lego– Wash well with hot soapy water and a toothbrush. Rinse and leave to drain overnight.
Outdoor/Sandpit Toys, Bikes, scooters and other ride-ons –These must be cleaned well remembering that the next member may wish to use it inside. Remove all sand and dirt and clean well with hot soapy water.
Board Games and Cardboard Puzzles– Please clean all plastic parts of the game or puzzle. Paper-based materials, such as cardboard puzzles and games, are not considered a high risk for transmission and do not need additional cleaning procedures.
Fabric items (Dress-ups/Puppets/Dolls Bedding) – Hand wash or gentle machine wash with laundry detergent and hang to thoroughly line dry.

Happy Playing!
