Accessibility Statement

We want everyone who visits the Aalto Takeout website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding, going above and beyond the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018.

What are we doing?

To help us make the site a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level A as the target for the Aalto Takeout website. This may sound unambitious, but the site is rather vintage and we aim to improve things through a new release in the future.

On a larger picture level, the service Aalto Takeout is accessible in formats outside the web site. The service offices can be reached for customer service via email, phone and by visiting them directly. This helps alleviate any shortcomings in the web based part of the service.

Terms of Service

Please review the latest terms of use for Aalto Takeout. (Open in new window…)

Aalto Takeout is a service provided by Aalto Studios for finding and reserving resources available at Aalto University.

Many individual departments and units of the university make their resources available at their service points/lending offices on campus. This document provides the terms of service for using these resources.

1. General Terms

1.1. Resources available through Aalto Takeout (Takeout) can be used first and foremost for research and study related work by the person borrowing the equipment (lendee).

1.2. The resources can also be used for non-commercial projects outside the curriculum, but research and study related reservations take priority. The lending office staff reserve the right to evaluate projects for compliance with these terms.

1.3. Commercial use is by default prohibited. A project is considered commercial if it receives any funding from a commercial entity that is set to gain from the project financially, either directly or indirectly. Please note, that these restrictions apply even when the lendee works for free; non-paid work does not automatically mean non-commercial.

1.4. Using the resources for commercial projects without prior arrangement may result in the lendee losing their usage rights for Takeout

1.5. By using the resources for commercial projects without prior arrangement, the lendee becomes liable to pay market value rent for the resources, even retrospectively.

1.6. For any commercial use as part of research or study projects, the terms have to be negotiated with the lending office staff prior to reserving the items. Commercial use outside research and study related projects is strictly prohibited.

1.7. The name of the lendee and their project title may appear to other signed-in users in association to the resource they have reserved.

2. Reservation Time Windows

Resources in Aalto Takeout may have differing availability for different groups of users. These rules are governed by, for example, the user’s role at Aalto University, the nature of the project and usage quotas for certain resources. The staff lending the resources may also limit availability as required by other factors. These guidelines provide a general outline of typically available reservation time windows.

2.1. Aalto University Staff

2.1.1. No spesific time restrictions on how much earlier a resource can be booked.

2.1.2. Short notice limitations may apply, a reservation may need to be made a certain time in advance.

2.2.2. for non-commercial projects outside the curriculum the reservations can be made 1 month in advance.

2.2.3. short notice limitations may apply, a reservation may need to be made a certain time in advance.

3. Reservation Restrictions

Resources in Aalto Takeout may have differing restrictions for different groups of users. Some resources may require a usage permit to verify a needed skill level or may require additional information on the intended use. Lending office staff reserve the right to not release equipment, if these criteria are not met.

3.1. The maximum length of a reservation is item specific.

3.2. The maximum reservation length can be exceeded if this is warranted, however, such requests are always reviewed and decided by lending office staff.
