How long do I get to keep a rental?

We have a Rental+ Program, meaning the full rental price paid can be applied to the purchase price at the end of the semester if you want to keep your book. For example, if the rental price is $25 and the purchase price is $75, you would pay $50 to keep the book at the end of the semester.

Yes, the rental price includes the purchase of the access code, and the book will need to be returned at the end of the semester.

Standard writing/highlighting in the book is allowed. Excessive highlighting or writing can result in the rental being deemed damaged (See question below).

Rental Agreement

I am at least 18 years of age. I will return the rented materials to The Adams State Bookstore, hereafter known as The Bookstore, on or before the rental return date. The Bookstore is not responsible for reminding me of the rental return date and is not responsible for returns that are lost or damaged in shipping. I am fully responsible for the condition of the materials rented to me and for payment of fees and replacement costs if rented materials are lost, stolen or returned in unacceptable condition. Unacceptable conditions include, but are not limited to, water damage, pages torn out, spine fraying or falling apart, excessive highlighting and writing on pages, and missing CD’s or other study aides. All rented materials are subject to these conditions and The Bookstore will decide what is or is not acceptable at the time the rented materials are returned. 

If I fail to return the rented materials by the rental return date, the credit or debit card on file with The Bookstore will be charged a $10.00 late fee per rental textbook plus the full retail price of the rented materials minus the amount paid for the initial rental. Retail price is based on current values at the time of replacement. I am either the account holder or authorized user of the credit or debit card used to secure the rental material or have been given permission by the account holder. I will not cancel or exceed the purchasing limits of the credit or debit card referenced above until the rented textbooks are either returned to The Bookstore or the non-return fees are paid.

I understand if I have an unpaid balance to The Bookstore and do not make satisfactory payment arrangements, my account may be placed with an external collection agency. I will be responsible for reimbursement of the fee of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 35% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable collection and attorney’s fees incurred during collection efforts. If my rental is eligible to be returned to The Bookstore, I will still be liable for a service fee assessed by the external collection agency.

In order for The Bookstore or their designated external collection agency to service my account, and where not prohibited by applicable law, I agree that The Bookstore and the designated external collection agency are authorized to (i) contact me by telephone at the telephone number(s) I am providing, including wireless telephone numbers, which could result in charges to me, (ii) contact me by sending text messages (message and data rates may apply) or emails, using any email address I provide and (iii) methods of contact may include using pre-recorded/artificial voice message and/or use of an automatic dialing device, as applicable. Furthermore, I consent the designated external collection agency to share personal contact and account related information with third party vendors to communicate account related information via telephone, text, e-mail, and mail notification. I will be responsible for paying all Collection Fees assessed by the designated external collection agency.

The Bookstore will make reasonable efforts to process transactions in a timely manner. I agree not to hold The Bookstore responsible in the event The Bookstore does not credit or debit my account for a period of time due to circumstances beyond its control. The Bookstore makes no guarantees regarding the processing time for charges.

Replacement of rental materials (exact duplicate, correct ISBN, title, author, edition, etc.) will be accepted in lieu of any damaged rental materials on or before the rental return date.  The Bookstore’s refund policy applies for all rental materials. Thank you!

I have read this disclosure and agree that the Lender/Creditor may contact me as described above.
