Policy Statement:

All faculty and student customers (hereafter referred to as “clients”) who rent equipment from Classroom Services agree to abide by the following terms and conditions: Clients are responsible for the physical condition and security of equipment borrowed from Classroom Services under their name at all times during the rental period. This includes, but is not limited to, laptop computers, cables, remote controls, bags, and any accessories. The client is only responsible for equipment specified at the time of pick-up or delivery. The client will be charged for any items that are lost or damaged during the rental period; replacement fees will be determined by Classroom Services. If equipment is not returned on or before the specified date, a late fee of $5 per day will be charged. This fee will be charged to the department account of the client as a lump sum when the equipment is returned to Classroom Services. If an extension to the rental period is needed, call Classroom Services at 412-648-7240.

The client accepts responsibility for the general care, upkeep, and overall maintenance of all items included in their loan. If cosmetic damage is incurred which directly affects the ability of Classroom Services to return the equipment to regular circulation, a fee will be assessed to cover the additional labor involved in cleaning and/or repairing the damage, up to and including the cost of replacing the item if it is deemed unusable. Such damage may includes, but is not limited to: food and liquid spills, excessive dirt/grime, inks, paints, and other stains, cracks in the casing, or damage to any other included accessory.

Classroom Services PCs are not password protected; clients may download any software that they possess a legal license for, or that is distributed free of charge. Classroom Services will not add additional software upon request. Classroom Services will not retain any added software or files after a PC has been returned, nor reserve specific PCs for loans or deliveries. Classroom Services is not responsible for the integrity of any data stored on a PC while on loan to a client.
