If equipment is not returned to the ACC in a timely manner, the patron who rented it will be billed.
This FAQ covers the timelines and procedures for billing for the ACC. These timelines and procedures are in line with general library billing procedures, and you can find the FAQs for those here.
There are two categories of ACC equipment: spaces that can only be checked out for a few hours, and items which you can take home with you over a few days.
For Spaces: missing items from spaces may be billed as soon as they are discovered. Patrons are not authorized to remove items from spaces. Any damage to spaces may also be billed in a timely manner.
