Transition Repair Café Item Submission

Transition Repair Café


Do you have items in your house that need fixing or mending but you don't know how to fix them yourself?


Bring your broken items to the Transition Repair Café! Volunteers will evaluate and fix as many of them as they can and offer their expertise on items that are too large or not possible to bring in. Instead of throwing away broken items, bring them to our Repair Cafés where we will do our best to give them a new life. We ask that you register your items prior to the event. Please reach out to makerspace@cei.earth if you have any questions regarding Repair Cafés.

Rules

When you bring items to the Transition Repair Café, you must agree to the following Event Rules:


  • The work carried out in the Café is performed free of charge on a voluntary basis by the repair volunteers at hand.


  • The fact that the repairs are being performed by unpaid volunteers reflects the allocation of risks and limitation of liability: neither the organizers of the Transition Repair Café nor the repair volunteers are liable for any loss that may result from advice or instructions concerning repairs, for the loss of items handed over for repair, for indirect or consequential loss or for any other kind of loss resulting from work performed in the Café.


  • Volunteers making repairs offer no guarantee for the repairs carried out with their help and are not liable if objects that are repaired in the Café turn out not to work properly at home.


  • Visitors offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk.


  • Repair volunteers are entitled to refuse to repair certain objects.


  • Repair volunteers are not obliged to reassemble disassembled appliances that cannot be repaired.


  • Visitors to the Transition Repair Café are solely responsible for the tidy removal of broken objects that could not be repaired.


  • To cut down on waiting times during busy periods, a maximum of ONE broken item per person will be examined. The visitor will join the back of the line if there is a second item for repair.


  • Visitors to the Transition Repair Café give permission to the Community Ecology Institute to photograph/video and/or use a photograph or video of themselves in publications, news releases, newsletters, web site, Facebook page, etc
