Rules for using Warp It

The Warp-it Guide on the Sustainability Services website contains the definitive site rules.  In general:

· This site is for use by University members of staff only.

· The site is for advertising University items only, not personal belongings. 

· Chemicals, electrical equipment and other hazardous items should not be advertised on the site.  Contact waste@reading.ac.uk for assistance if you have anything you believe is unsuitable.

· Items advertised on the site should be in working order, even if unwanted by the advertiser.

· Sale of items is prohibited.  To sell an item, please contact Procurement.

· Items should be claimed for University business use only, not for purely personal use at home or elsewhere; except when occasional 'take-home' clearance sessions are arranged by the Admin, during which staff will be able to claim items for purely personal use. Take-home clearance sessions will be publicised by the Admin (Sustainability Services). 

· You may claim items without offering anything else for re-use; and there is no obligation to accept anything as a "swap".

· It is the claimant's responsibility to check that the item is suitable for their use - they should check any relevant aspects of the item (e.g. colour, size) before claiming.  Viewing items is advisable.

· The claimant of the item must arrange and cover the cost of collection/delivery. 

· If the claimant no longer wants an item after receiving it, it is their responsibility to either re-list the item themselves, or send it for disposal via the Porters (charges applicable).  The item cannot be sent back to the original department once received by the claimant.

· The providers of Warp-it have their own set of Terms and Conditions, which you are advised to familiarise yourself with.
