MacEwan University Library reserves the right to refuse any Makerspace project request at its discretion. Project use may be declined for the following reasons:

• Risk to Equipment or Users: Projects that are incompatible with our equipment and could cause damage to the equipment or be hazardous to the user.
• Legal Restrictions: Submissions that violate local, provincial, or federal laws are not permitted. This includes functional weapons or restricted items. Prop or costume items will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• Inappropriate Content: Projects containing hateful or discriminatory content will be refused. Projects containing violent or sexual content may be refused or assessed on a case-by-case basis.
• Intellectual Property Violations: Projects that infringe on copyright, trademarks, or patents will not be accepted.
• Commercial Use: The Makerspace is intended for personal, educational, or prototyping purposes; not for commercial production. One-off prototypes are encouraged.
• Multiple Copies: Due to time and resource limitations, requests for multiples must be approved in advance. Class sets are permitted; small non-commercial batches may be accommodated where possible.
• User-Supplied Materials: You may use your own materials (e.g. fabric, vinyl) at your own risk. The library is not responsible for any damage, loss, or failed results.
• Public Visibility: Makerspace equipment is in an open, visible area of the library. Please ensure your project is appropriate for a public, academic environment.

Summary: Projects must not pose a safety risk, violate the law or intellectual property rights, promote hate or violence, contain inappropriate content, or be intended for commercial production.
