PSCC Libraries Electronic Device Loan Agreement
Borrowers will be asked to complete this agreement in a digital format at the Circulation Desk when checking out an electronic device from the library.
1. Student Responsibility
I agree to accept full responsibility and financial liability for the device(s) and peripherals loaned to me and I am responsible for the replacement costs and processing fees for the/those item(s) if they become lost, stolen, or damaged. (Example: laptop, adapter/power cord, carrying case)
2. Not Returned by Due Date
Students: An unreturned or damaged device will result in a hold on my student records until the replacement costs and processing fees are paid. While there is a hold on my student records I understand:
If I break this agreement with the college and fail to pay all charges by the end of the semester, the college may exercise any remedy allowed by law, including without notice or demand (except as required by law) the college may hire or pay a third party to collect the debt, including without limitation, the pursuit of litigation. I understand and accept that if I fail to pay my financial obligation to the college or fail to make acceptable payment arrangements the college may refer my account to a collection agency. I further understand I may be responsible for paying the collection agency fee, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 33-1/3 percent of my delinquent account, together with all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, necessary for the collection of my delinquent account. I understand that my delinquent account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus.
