Repair Cafe Terms and Conditions

At Repair Cafe, we pride ourselves in fixing items and saving the environment by reducing the number of items that enter our landfills. Our services are provided free of charge to members in our community. However, please be aware that although we make every effort to attempt a repair, there are some items that we may not be able to repair. Because we are a free event, we are unable to provide any replacement parts. Thus, all repairs brought into our event must be accompanied with replacement parts already purchased and have items that would allow testing of the repair. Also, while at Repair Cafe, we will not accept the below items for repair. In addition, items must be in clean condition in order to receive a repair. We thank you for your cooperation and look forward to seeing you at one of our events!

Items not acceptable for repair:

• Sewing Machines
• Cathode Ray Tube Televisions
• Cell Phone Screens
• Internal Watch Components (wristband and battery ok)

We reserve the right to refuse a repair at our own discretion. By bringing in your item, you agree that repairs are brought at your own risk and we will not be liable for any damages whatsoever.
