These Rental Terms of Use (the "Terms of Use") set forth the policies, rules, and regulations that apply to your rental of textbooks and/or course related materials (the "Rented Materials") from BookHolders llc.
These Terms of Use set forth your rights and obligations and should be read carefully. In these Terms of Use, "you" or "your" means any person or entity renting Rented Materials from us using this online rental service (the "Service"). Unless otherwise stated, "BookHolders" the "Company," "we" "our" or "us" will refer collectively to BookHolders llc. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not use the Service.
The Company may modify these Terms of Use from time to time and such modification shall be effective upon posting by the Company on the website from which you accessed the Service (the "Website"). You agree to be bound to any changes to these Terms of Use when you use the Website or the Service after any such modification is posted. It is therefore important that you review these Terms of Use regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes. By agreeing to these Terms of Use please note that you are also agreeing to be bound to the general terms of use of BookHolders llc.
You must be 18 years of age or older to use the Service. When renting materials you will be charged when your order is fulfilled. In addition, in order to rent materials, you must have a credit card on file with us at all times. Rented Materials can include both new or used textbooks and supplemental materials. We only rent books that can be reused; workbooks, study guides, laboratory manuals, periodicals, and other consumable materials are not rented. Furthermore, we do not guarantee that access codes/keys/cards, CDs, DVDs, workbooks, charts or any other type of supplemental material will come with books purchased or rented. If a book you rent from BookHolders arrives with a supplement, you are allowed to use it at no extra cost. At the end of the rental, all supplemental material must be returned with the Rented Materials. If you receive damaged Rented Materials, it is your responsibility to contact us within 30 days to report the problem, so please inspect any item thoroughly upon receipt. Once in your possession, damage to or loss of Rented Materials is your responsibility. You will be charged Non-Return Fees, for books that can no longer be rented. If the Rented Materials are lost or stolen, a Non-Return Fee will apply. During your rental period, all Rented Materials remain the full property of BookHolders. Your acceptance of the Rented Materials and paying rental prices entitles you to use the property of BookHolders for a limited amount of time and binds you to these Terms of Use. At the end of the rental period, you exit out of the Terms of Use and lose all rights to the Rented Materials.
Rented Materials must be postmarked or returned by the rental return date designated by us at the time of rental (the "Rental Return Date") using the prepaid shipping label or by visiting a BookHolders store and process provided by BookHolders on the Website. All Rented Materials must be returned in salable condition with any Rented Materials not returned in salable condition subject to a Non-Return Fee. Salable condition will be determined by us in our sole discretion, but generally means book spine intact, no excessive damage to cover or contents, all original pages intact, all original components present, and no excessive highlighting, writing or other markings. Normal use highlighting and writing is permitted. Any writing or highlighting that BookHolders deems excessive or that hinders the readability of the Rented Materials will be your responsibility and you will be charged a Non-Return Fee. Please follow all of our guidelines to ensure no fees will be charged to your account.
If the Rented Materials are not received or postmarked by the Rental Return Date, your rental will be extended by 5 days, as a courtesy to be applied at BookHolders' sole discretion. If your Rented Materials have not been returned by the end of this 5 day extension, you will be automatically charged (at a time of BookHolders' choosing and sole discretion) to the credit/debit card on file a Non-Return Fee, which is used to cover the cost of replacing the Rented Materials. This fee is equal to 75% of the list price of the Rented Materials and the cost of the late fee ( to be determined at BookHolders sole discretion and which may be wavied by BookHolders). The list price of the Rented Material is based on the list price of the Rented Material on file with BookHolders. Once you are charged the Non-Return Fee, you opt out of the Terms of Use and the Rented Materials become your property. In the event that the credit card on file for you is no longer valid or in the event the purchasing limit on such credit card has been exceeded at the time the Non-Return Fees are to be charged, we will bill you for, and you agree to promptly pay in full, the Non-Return Fee.
If you have not returned the Rented Materials by the Rental Return Date and we are unable to charge your credit/debit card, it is your responsibility to pay the Non-Return Fee immediately. You will be notified via email if your credit/debit card was declined and have 15 days to pay this fee before your account is turned over to a third-party collection agency.
BookHolders is not responsible for reminding you of your Rental Return Date. Any and all notifications are a courtesy. You are responsible for complying with the Rental Return Dates.
Standard tax rates apply and vary by state.
Rented Materials cannot be shipped outside the continental United States.
