- The library system calculates the due date taking into account the relevant loan periods
- Only the days the Library is open count
- User's borrowing rights in any case cannot go beyond the expiry date of the library card
- Once the item falls overdue, the system starts calculating possible fines according to the different loan rules
- After 14 days (calendar days) an item has been overdue, all Library rights of the User will be suspended
