Membership Agreement

By submitting this form, I agree that:

1. I am at least 18 years old.
2. I choose to become a member of Lexington Tool Library (hereafter "LexTools").
3. All information I provide LexTools is true and current.
4. I grant LexTools permission to verify any information I provide.
5. I understand that all borrowed tools and equipment are the property of LexTools, for members' use only.
6. I agree to return all borrowed items clean, in the same working condition as they were issued, and with all associated pieces, attachments, and accessories out of respect for other members. If I return a tool damaged, missing something, or in need of cleaning, my credit or debit card may be charged for the cost of repair, cleaning, or replacement parts. I agree to accept LexTools’ assessment of the need for cleaning, repair, or replacement.
7. I agree to return all borrowed items during LexTools’ open hours within 7 days of borrowing them, or to contact LexTools by the due date to renew them for a second or third 7-day period. I will only be able to renew the tool if no one else is waiting for it. After the third 7-day period, I agree to return the tool even if I am not finished with my project. I can still check it out again in the future to continue my project.
8. If I do not return a tool by the due date, LexTools will try to contact me by phone and email. If LexTools cannot contact me, it will try to contact my references. If neither of my references can get LexTools in contact with me, or I still don’t return the tool, my credit or debit card will be charged the full replacement cost of the item(s) I have not returned.
9. If any borrowed tool becomes unsafe or damaged, I agree to stop using the tool immediately, return it to LexTools, and report the damage to the LexTools attendant on duty.
10. I understand that LexTools is not responsible for any manufacturing defects or the quality of borrowed tools, and is not responsible for any costs or injuries which may result from manufacturing defects or the quality of the tools.
11. I will store any tools I borrow in a secure location protected from weather and theft.
12. I am capable of using and will use all borrowed tools in a safe manner.
13. I accept responsibility for finding any instruction I may need to operate all borrowed tools safely.
14. I will not allow anyone else to use the tools I borrow.
15. I grant LexTools permission to keep my credit or debit card information on file and charge me for cleaning, loss of pieces, or damage to its tools or for the full value of a tool I never return.
16. I understand that LexTools, its officers, employees, and volunteers claim no expertise and make no representation concerning the fitness of any tool for a particular use.
17. I agree that LexTools reserves the right to refuse to check out a tool, at its sole discretion.
18. If I break any part of this agreement, my membership may be terminated.
19. I waive any and all claims against LexTools, Lexington Pride Center, United Way of the Bluegrass, and Black & Williams Neighborhood Center on behalf of myself, my heirs, successors, and assigns for any injuries of any nature that I may incur in the use of the tools I borrow from LexTools.
20. I agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless LexTools, Lexington Pride Center, United Way of the Bluegrass, and Black & Williams Neighborhood Center, their officers, agents, employees, and 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 incurred by any person which may arise or be occasioned in any way from the use of the tools I borrow from LexTools.
