Disclaimer and safety tips

Standard Freecycle Disclaimer

Freecycle (R) Members use the list and site at their own risk.

Please take reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to group lists or when completing a direct gifting with another member. By joining a Freecycle list, you agree to hold neither the list owners, moderators, nor anyone affiliated with The Freecycle Network responsible or liable for any circumstance resulting from a Freecycle-related gifting or communication.

General tips on personal safety

The following are precautions only. Freecycle is a friendly place, but we have to stay on the safe side, so please consider these tips.

Do not post full postcodes, street addresses or phone numbers on the public list (moderators will delete them if posted). Leave these for private messages.

You may choose to communicate with other members only by email, and not give out your phone number. Please be understanding if someone else requests this of you.

If you are concerned about meeting people when alone in the house, you can arrange to meet away from your home to pass on items (where practical) or make sure that people come round when you have a friend or relative with you.

Finally, if anything about a Freecycle contact concerns you, even if it's just vague "bad vibes", then feel free to trust your instincts! You can give items to whoever you choose and you don't have to justify the decision to anyone. Always let the moderators know of any concerns. You may not be alone.

Safety considerations for certain items

Please see these notes regarding the safety implications of using certain goods when acquired secondhand.

 

Thank you! We wish you a safe and happy time on Freecycle.

- All the moderators on Norwich (UK), South Norfolk, Breckland, West Norfolk, Great Yarmouth, North Norfolk and Broadland Freecycle groups.
