Terms and Conditions

Website: example.com

Business Name: Bookzstore

Welcome to Bookzstore. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). By accessing, browsing, registering, or making a purchase on Bookzstore, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Platform.

1. About Bookzstore

Bookzstore operates as an online marketplace and connecting platform for books. We may list books offered by independent sellers, vendors, publishers, authors, distributors, or other third parties. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Bookzstore does not own, publish, manufacture, or hold title to the books listed on the Platform.

2. Eligibility

By using our Platform, you confirm that you are legally competent to enter into a binding contract under the laws of India. If you are using the Platform on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on their behalf.

3. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Platform, you may be required to create an account. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep such information updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password, and for all activity carried out through your account. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account at our sole discretion if we believe any information provided is false, misleading, incomplete, or used in violation of these Terms.

4. Marketplace Role and Third-Party Listings

Bookzstore acts as an intermediary platform that connects users with third-party sellers and vendors. The books listed on the Platform may be supplied, packed, fulfilled, and delivered by such third parties.

While we may attempt to maintain a safe and reliable marketplace, Bookzstore does not guarantee that every listing is free from error, infringement, unauthorized content, or legal issues. The responsibility for the accuracy, legality, authenticity, and ownership of a listing generally rests with the relevant seller, vendor, publisher, or rights holder, as applicable.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bookzstore shall not be liable for any books, content, or materials supplied by third parties that are alleged to be unauthorized, infringing, pirated, counterfeit, or otherwise unlawful. However, where we receive a valid complaint or notice, we may review, suspend, or remove the listing as appropriate.

5. Product Information and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, images, prices, availability, and other details are accurate. However, we do not warrant that such information is error-free, complete, or current.

All products are subject to availability. We reserve the right to change or discontinue any book or listing at any time without prior notice.

6. Pricing and Payments

Prices displayed on the Platform are generally shown in Indian Rupees (INR) unless stated otherwise. Prices may change at any time without notice.

You agree to pay all applicable charges for the books ordered by you, including the product price, taxes, and any other charges displayed at checkout.

We may use one or more third-party payment gateways or service providers to process payments. By placing an order, you authorize us and our payment partners to process your payment using the method selected by you.

7. Order Acceptance

Your order is an offer to purchase a product from Bookzstore or the relevant seller. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order for any reason, including but not limited to stock unavailability, payment issues, suspected fraud, technical errors, or incorrect pricing.

An order confirmation email or message does not necessarily mean the order has been accepted unless we expressly confirm dispatch or acceptance.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Bookzstore is a marketplace and may connect you with independent vendors or sellers who arrange their own delivery operations or third-party logistics partners.

In many cases, the delivery partner may be chosen by the seller or vendor, and delivery timelines may vary depending on the location, service availability, courier performance, weather, logistics issues, and other factors beyond our direct control.

We are not responsible for delays caused by third-party delivery partners, incorrect address details, refusal to accept delivery, natural events, strikes, public disruptions, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Risk of loss may pass according to the applicable seller policy and the delivery process followed for that order.

9. Returns and Refunds

Returns, replacements, cancellations, and refunds, if available, shall be governed by our Refund and Return Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

You are advised to review the relevant product page and return policy carefully before placing an order. Certain books may not be eligible for return or refund, except where required by law or where a wrong, damaged, or defective product has been delivered.

10. Requests for Unlisting by Authors, Publishers, or Rights Holders

If any author, publisher, rights holder, or other concerned party is not comfortable with a book being listed on Bookzstore, they may send us a written request by email from an official and verifiable email address.

Once we receive a valid request with sufficient details, we will review it and, where appropriate, remove or unlist the book within 24 to 48 hours. We may request additional information or proof before taking action.

Bookzstore reserves the right to temporarily hide, restrict, or remove any listing while a complaint or rights claim is being reviewed.

11. Intellectual Property

All content on the Platform, including our name, logo, design, layout, text, graphics, icons, interface, and software, is the property of Bookzstore or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, republish, distribute, sell, or exploit any content from the Platform without our prior written consent, except as permitted under applicable law.

If you submit reviews, feedback, comments, images, or any other content to the Platform, you grant Bookzstore a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, display, publish, and distribute such content for business, marketing, support, and operational purposes, subject to applicable law.

12. User Conduct

You agree not to use the Platform for any unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, misleading, or abusive purpose.

  • scrape, copy, or extract data without our written permission;
  • use the Platform to harass, defame, threaten, or abuse others;
  • post or transmit content that infringes intellectual property rights or violates any law.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Platform if we believe you have violated these Terms.

13. Legal Issues, Piracy, and Third-Party Responsibility

Bookzstore is a marketplace and intermediary platform and does not own the books listed by third-party sellers unless clearly stated otherwise.

Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bookzstore shall not be responsible for legal issues arising from third-party listings, including where a seller has listed an unauthorized, infringing, counterfeit, or pirated copy. Responsibility for such listings remains with the seller or vendor who uploaded, supplied, or fulfilled the product.

Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted to limit any rights or remedies available under applicable law. If we receive a valid notice, complaint, or legal claim, we may take appropriate action, including removal of the listing, suspension of the seller, or cooperation with lawful authorities.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Platform and all content, services, and listings are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, availability, or suitability of the Platform or any listing.

We do not guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bookzstore, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption.

Where liability cannot be excluded under law, our liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bookzstore, its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and partners from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to:

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update or revise these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will be posted on the Platform with the revised effective date. Your continued use of the Platform after any change means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Subject to applicable law, the courts having jurisdiction over India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
