On a tangent from the topic, does anyone know what the ATW stance is on replaceing equipment when it eventually fails? All the best, Barry G ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brendan Magill" <brendan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2006 10:11 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Stolen Braillenote Hi Keith and everyone, Keith, I'm very sorry to hear about the theft of your stuff, particularly your BrailleNote. The situation regarding equipment supplied by AtW is quite clear. Although AtW provided funding towards the purchase of the equipment, ownership rests with your employer, or with yourself if you are self-employed. Therefore, if you are an employee, the Braillenote belongs to your employer and is therefore presumably covered by any insurance your employer may have for equipment which is portable. Some employers have such insurance, whereas others do not. So responsibility for replacement lies with your employer, who can hopefully claim back the cost from the insurer. AtW will not make any contribution towards the cost of a replacement BrailleNote. Sorry I can't be more positive, but that's how things are.
