Library of Things - the nuts and bolts!
Borrowing is better than buying.

How does it work?
Project Purple faciliates bringing the Lender and Borrower of equipment together.
The process of borrowing is solely an agreement between the lender and borrower* e.g. suitability, duration of the loaned item, any reimbursement to the lender for any damage that may occur while in the possession of the borrower. The lenders decision on all aspect of the loan is final.
*At no time will any member of Hovingham Action Group Project Purple be involved in this process.
The Borrower will identify a specific item they would like to borrow on the Project Purple web site. The borrower will contact the lender by the stipulated method.

What's the deal?
The Borrower agrees to the following: (To be agreed by the borrower at the time of request via the website.)
“I agree to release and indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and Project Purple volunteers from any and all liability, loss, claims, and demands, actions or causes of action for the death or injury to any persons and for any property damage suffered or incurred by any person which arises or may arise or be occasioned in any way from the use or possession of items I am borrowing from the Lender.
IN SHORT: I’m responsible for how I use what I borrow, and I won’t blame the AWESOME lender or Project Purple for what I do with the items I borrow."
