# Creating an account

For questions why and how to create an account.

## Is an account necessary to borrow tools?

**Everyone can browse the** [**inventory**](https://tournevie-bxl.myturn.com/library/) without an account in order to find out if Tournevie has the tools they require. 

However, you'll need an account when you decide to become a member. This allows you to **track** and **extend** your loans, and to **make** **reservations**. 

{% hint style="info" %}
In order to simplify your life, **it's possible to create an account and reserve items immediately**. The membership fee can be paid online, or in cash when you drop by the first time.
{% endhint %}

## How to make an account?

It takes **three simple steps** to create an account: 

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="First step" %}
**Simply go to the** [**inventory**](https://tournevie-bxl.myturn.com/library) and create an account in the top right section of the screen:

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Second step" %}
Then fill in your details and read through our rules and regulations. Don't worry, **it only takes a minute** to read through it all.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Third step" %}
Finally, your account screen pops up. Your **address and phone number are the most important fields**. These are used if we need to reach you (urgently) for problems with reservations or loans.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Is it possible to share an account (and membership)?

The idea is that **every person is responsible for the tools they borrow**. However, if you are a couple living together, or if you live in a cohabitation, you can use one single account for a small group of people.

{% hint style="info" %}
This means that the person who created the account is held accountable for damages or accidents. **We suggest you only share an account with people you trust 100%**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**We ask and expect our members not to abuse this offer** by letting all their friends use the account. After all, Tournevie needs to cover the costs for replacement and repair of its tools.
