3 Equipment funded by the grant

3.1

The Host Institution must ensure that any equipment funded by the Grant has adequate insurance cover. If the equipment is damaged, destroyed or stolen during its useful lifetime the Host Institution must repair or replace it. On payment of the Grant for the purchase of equipment, Arthritis Research UK has no liability to make further payments for the purchase if the equipment is not delivered to the Host Institution or the Grant Holder.

3.2

When purchasing equipment funded by the Grant, the Host Institution must adhere to its own standard procurement procedures.

3.3

Without prejudice to Condition 3.6, should the Grant Holder move to another institution within the United Kingdom during the period of the Grant or within 3 years of the end of the Grant period, Arthritis Research UK reserves the right to require that the equipment be transferred with them after discussion, as necessary, with the institutions concerned.

3.4

If the Grant is made for the purchase of large, multi-user items of equipment specifically to provide departmental infrastructural support and the Grant Holder moves to another institution, either during or following the end of the Grant period, the equipment will remain in the Host Institution.

3.5

If any equipment to be used by the Grant Holder or named co-applicants was provided by a previous Arthritis Research UK grant, either to the current Grant Holder or to any other person, Arthritis Research UK will not provide funds for usage or access charges for the equipment in question. This Condition covers all equipment (including personal computers) purchased with funds provided by Arthritis Research UK.

3.6

The Host Institution must maintain the equipment during its useful lifetime so that it is capable of operating for its intended purpose. The equipment must not be disposed of during this period without Arthritis Research UK's prior written approval.
