Repairs at the Repair Café are offered free of charge by volunteer Repair Specialists. These volunteers help diagnose issues and suggest repair approaches. Whenever possible, visitors are encouraged to carry out repairs themselves, with guidance and hands-on support from our Repair Specialists as needed. This shared approach helps build skills, confidence, and community resilience.
By participating, you acknowledge that neither the organizers nor the Repair Specialists are responsible for any loss, damage, or issues resulting from advice, instructions, or repair work. This waiver does not cancel or reduce any legal rights you may have under consumer protection laws. That means if the law guarantees you certain protections—like safety standards or fair treatment—those rights still apply, even if you sign this document.
Visitors offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk. Repair Specialists offer no guarantee for the repairs carried out with their help and are not liable if objects that are repaired in the Repair Café turn out not to work properly at home.
Repair Specialists are entitled to refuse to repair certain objects.
Repair Specialists are not obliged to reassemble disassembled appliances that cannot be repaired.
Visitors to Repair Café are solely responsible for the tidy removal of broken objects that could not be repaired.
A voluntary donation is greatly appreciated. Any new materials or replacement parts used during repairs may incur a cost to the visitor, depending on availability and value of the part. This will be discussed in advance.
As we learn and grow together, please note that depending on turnout and the availability of our volunteer Repair Specialists, we may not be able to look at every item brought in. We’ll do our best to accommodate as many repairs as possible, but we appreciate your patience and understanding if we can’t get to everything this time. Your participation helps us build a stronger, more sustainable community—thank you for being part of it!
