These Guidelines set out the rules, requirements and prohibitions that apply to Your use of or participation in the Service.

Equipment Use, Key and Security Guidelines:

The Keycafe community relies on its members to maintain the security of Keys. As part of Your commitment to Key security, and to ensure that the Service is not disrupted and the Equipment is not damaged, You must abide by the following rules while using the Service:

(a) Keep your Keycafe account credentials safe. Do not share them with others, even those you trust. Every Customer must have a separate account for security purposes and the best user experience.
(b) For Your and others' security, do not attach any identifying information to Keys such as the owner, address or unit number associated with the Keys.
(c) Avoid attaching excessively large Keys, sets of Keys or any non-essential accessories, such as cards or decorative objects, (collectively, "Attachments") to the Key fobs, as these may cause Equipment jams or otherwise disrupt the Service. Occasionally, Keycafe may contact You and inform You that You must remove certain Attachments to continue using the Service. Failure to abide by these requests may result in Your Keycafe account being terminated.
(d) Do not leave Your Keys unattended or provide them to Location Provider personnel for any reason. If You notice any unattended Keys left on or nearby Equipment, please contact Keycafe immediately by using one of the contact methods available at www.keycafe.com/contact.
(e) Ensure that the Equipment bin door is closed after picking up or dropping off Keys.
(f) If You find an Equipment bin door that has been left open, do not place Keys in that bin. You must first complete the Key check-in process and then place the Key in the appropriate bin to ensure that the Service operates correctly.
(g) If for some reason You come into possession with a Key that You were not supposed to receive, You must immediately contact Keycafe using one of the contact methods available at https://www.keycafe.com/contact and drop off the Key at a Keycafe Location as soon as possible.
(h) Do not ask Location Provider personnel for assistance with the Equipment or any questions regarding the Service. If You require assistance, please contact Keycafe for support by using one of the contact methods available at https://www.keycafe.com/contact.
