These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern the access to and use of Intelligent Lockers at University College London ("Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾"). These Terms only apply to Intelligent Lockers, which enable the User to access and use the Locker using their Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ ID card and they do not apply to standard lockers wherever located on Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ premises.

In using a Locker, the User agrees to comply with and abide by these Terms.

4.5 The User must keep the Locker in good and clean condition and the User must not do or omit to do anything that may result in damage to the Locker. If the User identifies that the Locker is damaged, they must immediately notify a member of Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Library Services staff. Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ reserves the right to charge the User for the cost to repair any damage to the Locker caused by the acts or omissions of the User.

4.6 Users shall comply with all relevant Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ rules, regulations and codes of conduct in their use of the Lockers. If a User breaches these terms, it will be treated as a disciplinary matter in addition to any potential criminal or civil action.
