Locker liability.

[So]

So my club (college club) has a shared 'lounge' for members (My club and one other share 'ownership' -- it has a keycode locked door, but that code gets out pretty easily. Still, there has never been a major problem with theft or anything....

Anyway, the other club wants to put in a bank of lockers and rent them out as a fundraiser, splitting the profits with us. That sounds fine on paper, but I am concerned about liability. If someone busts into the lockers and empties them, who pays? Do we need to be insured?

As the president of my club, I could pretty much say 'no', but we're in a funding crunch so it's worth considering.

Anyway....what does AT think, how liable would we be? Is it just a stupid idea?

sounds like s stupid idea, but you should be able to avoid liability for theft pretty easily

Don't most places have a posted policy of not being liable for theft of items in lockers?

Buy a fakie security cam with a little battery powered blinking light, mount it on the wall, and make it obvious so people see it. Tell nobody that it's fake, they'll think they're being recorded.

Anyone seen a good boilerplate for this type of thing. I kinda agree with Mikey, but I feel I should put it to a group decision first. If we do go forward with it, I'm going to see if there are some campus legal services that can give me a stock boilerplate to put up.

sounds pretty risky to me

It's easier to just have people sign something that say you aren't liable for theft when they rent a locker. Then you have their signature agreeing to those terms and they can't BS you into saying they didn't see the posting.
