12. RRE reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions of Equipment Loan at any time, and the member agrees to abide by the most recent version, found on the lending website, each time they borrow items.
13. RRE reserves the right at any time in the future to charge a sum for borrowing certain items or in the case of consumables, for replacement of that consumable. An updated version of these Terms and Conditions of Equipment Loan will be issued at that time and lodged on the lending website.
