Disclaimer and safety tips

Freegle Disclaimer

Disclaimer: Freegle puts people who have unwanted items in touch with people who want those items. Because of how it works, Freegle never sees or checks items and they may not be in working order. Posting an advert or responding to an advert does not guarantee you will be able to get rid of unwanted items or get the items you want. Any agreement you reach about any items will be between the person requesting or advertising items and you. It is your responsibility to ensure you are not breaking any laws in offering or getting goods through Freegle.

Safety notice: Members of Freegle groups use them entirely at their own risk. Please take all reasonable measures to protect yourself and your family's safety and privacy when posting to the list or collecting an item.

General tips on personal safety

The following are precautions only. Freegle 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). Save 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 Freegle 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 Freegle.

- All the moderators on Norwich, South Norfolk, Breckland, West Norfolk, Great Yarmouth, North Norfolk and Broadland Freegle groups.
