Lost or Damaged Material
When material is damaged when brought back, Autisme Montréal will keep the deposit (or part of it) to cover the cost of repairs;
Should the material be lost, Autisme Montréal will assess the cost of replacement.
Note: Due to the nature of our clientele, we are aware that the damage risk of our material is higher than usual. Parents should be comfortable when returning this material and informing our documentation agent of the observed damage.
Autisme Montréal would rather get its material back and repair it than have one less document or game available for its users.
