What happens if you don't return your items, or if you lose them?

The Centre will contact you to remind you about the items you have. If you fail to respond to us or agree a date to return the items, we will provide you with an invoice to cover the costs of replacing the items and the University finance department will contact you regarding your payment.

If you lose your items, you will be asked to replace them. You can purchase replacement copies yourself and drop them into the Centre, but they must be of the same edition/version. Older editions will not be accepted. Alternatively, you will be invoiced for the cost of a replacement copy.
