How to contribute or claim resources

The Warp It system has been developed to make the transfer of resources between owners simple and easy. The system has been developed after 10 years in the furniture and equipment reuse sector. 

To make sure the transfers of ownership are efficient legal and safe, the following guidelines should be followed- as well as the Transfer of Ownership form and the Terms and Conditions.

Contributing resources - Donations of low value items under $500. By contributing you are agreeing the item has been approved for Warpit.

The contributing member should describe goods accurately. Every item listed on Warpit undergoes categorisation, with its fair market value determined based on factors such as weight, volume, and the associated costs of waste disposal. 

The upload form has been designed to make this process as easy as possible. Where you see a [?] hover over it for guidance.

The contributor assigns ownership of the donated goods to the claimant. The contributor makes no warranty or representation of any kind, either expressed or implied including (without limitation) any warranty of merchantability or fitness for purpose in relation to the receipt or use of the donated goods.

Claiming Resources - When claiming items, the claimant takes responsibility for the ownership of the item and any transportation costs associated. It is recommend in all cases that claimants make an appointment to view the products of interest before committing to ownership. It is important that claimants satisfy themselves that the products meet with their approval. Before requesting or rehoming government furniture you agree you have consulted with the appropriate teams within your organisation to confirm suitability and alignment with your workplace requirements. By proceeding, you also confirm that any items requested or re-homed are for official workplace use only and not for personal use.

Second hand equipment is not covered by manufacturers guarantees.

The Claimant must acknowledge and agrees that:
a) The donated goods will be for the use of the claimant only and are for official workplace use and not personal use.
b) The claimant must ensure that the donated goods are safe and fit for their purpose.
c) The claimant accepts the donated goods entirely at its own risk and the contributor is not responsible for any injury or harm resulting from the use of donated goods.
d) The claimant indemnifies, releases and holds the contributor harmless from and against all claims, damages, loss, expense and liability, both direct and indirect, of whatsoever nature arising from or in connection with the donated goods.
