Terms and Conditions

Below sets out the terms and conditions for schools, colleges and organisations utilising Loughborough University’s HE Unboxed programme. The following terms and conditions apply to all of the boxes and resources within the HE Unboxed programme. All materials provided as part of these resources are the intellectual property of Loughborough University. By agreeing to the terms and conditions, you agree not to share or replicate the provided resources for either personal or commercial use.

Booking deadlines: 

Boxes will be sent to schools once a month. You can see the booking deadlines below.

Allocated items per box and delivery of box: 

All of the boxed resources are sent out with the materials required to support a class of up to 30 students, if the school booking is for a class size over 30, then this request will need to be agreed with a member of the SCL team. Please note, all boxes have a postage cost, and this may increase if the amount requested is greater. All schools are liable for the cost of postage of resources back to Loughborough University, unless otherwise agreed by a member of the SCL team. If you have any queries or concerns about postage costs, please contact the SCL team at wp@lboro.ac.uk.  

Please note, there are some dates in the academic year that are not possible due to postage logistics. You can see the table above for dates which we can provide boxes to schools. 

Boxes should be returned by the date agreed with the SCL team. Unless alternative collection arrangements are made, the boxes are to be returned using the labels provided at the cost of the booking school. If for some reason the labels are missing – the box should be posted to the following address:

Allocated time per box: 

In order to ensure we can reach as many schools as possible, schools should ensure their boxes are returned by the agreed deadline. The timescales will be outlined in the confirmation email. Schools will be required to reimburse the cost of any boxes that are returned late. Schools will have access to the box for a minimum of two weeks. 

Damaged or missing items: 

Each box includes an equipment list required to successfully run the activity, if the box is found to be missing equipment, or if any of the equipment is found to be damaged, the SCL team reserves the right to ask schools to cover the cost of replacements.  

Loss of items: 

All HE Unboxed items are couriered via Parcel Force, Royal Mail or DHL, as such, the SCL team takes a tracking number to ensure boxes reach their destination. Please note, that once a box has been signed for by any school member of staff, the box is in the care of the booking school. If the box is lost whilst identified as being on the school premises, the booking school will be liable for the full cost of the box. 

Use of items: 

All equipment provided through HE Unboxed has passed Loughborough University’s required safety checks, and where required, safety equipment has been provided. Therefore, Loughborough University is not responsible for any injuries that may occur whilst using the equipment within HE Unboxed activity. You should conduct your own risk assessment prior to delivering any activity.  

The resources and materials provided should not be reproduced or redistributed beyond your own school without the permission of Loughborough University. 

To help us ensure that as many schools as possible can access the resources in timely manner, schools booking boxes agree to return the box contents in the same state in which they were received. 

Feedback Forms: 

Feedback is incredibly important to us as it helps us to continually improve the boxes.  

Teachers will be sent an online form for their completion. This is a compulsory element of using the resources, and as such it is expected that it will be completed for every booking.
