How Doorstepbooks service works :

Doorsteobooks™ is an online subscription based rental service that allows its members to rent books through its website located at http://www.Doorstepbooks.com. To use Doorsteobooks™, one will have to register with Doorsteobooks.com™ to create an account and become its member. A member can then browse/search books he/she would like to read, and add them to his/her Booklist. Once payment has been received or we have made an arrangement with the member to pickup the payment at the time of delivery, the first set of books will be delivered to the member at the shipping address provided at the time of registration. The number of books delivered at a time by Doorsteobooks™ is as per his/her membership plan. Once a member is done with the first set of books, he/she goes to www.Doorstepbooks.com and navigates to "My Booklist" tab and click on "Pickup" or "Pickup and Deliver" button.Doorsteobooks™ will pickup the previous set of books from the members shipping address, and deliver the next set of books (for "pickup and deliver"), within two business days.

My Booklist:

Books that you select to rent will be placed into your Booklist. You may add books or adjust the sequence of books in the Booklist at any time. You must have at least 10 books in your Booklist. Click the "My Booklist" tab to make adjustments, review requested books or to see which books you currently have. We will determine which books to send you based on the books in your Booklist and the priority in which you have listed them. We endeavor to deliver the books listed highest in your Booklist; however when availability is limited, we may ship you books lower in your Booklist. Adjustments made to your Booklist may not immediately impact your next delivery. In certain instances you may have adjusted your Booklist before you have received a delivery message when in fact a delivery was already processed. The adjustments will, however, impact subsequent deliveries.

Allocation and Delivery Policy:

We reserve the right to allocate and deliver books among our members in any manner that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine. In addition, we will, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine the quantity of books we purchase for any particular title and the level of staffing and number of deliveries to be processed at each distribution centre. As a result, we may not always send you the top choices from your queue, and we may not ship out your next book(s) on the same day that we receive one from you. At present, our goal is to deliver you the book(s) listed highest in your Booklist. Often, on the same day that we receive a book(s) from you, we will deliver the next available book(s) from your Booklist. In certain instances, your next available book(s) will not be delivered until at least one business day following our receipt of your returned book(s).
Other factors that may affect delivery times, include, but are not limited to, (i) the distance between the distribution centre from which your book(s) was issued and your delivery address, (ii) the timing of your placement or adjustment of books in your Booklist. We do not process returns or deliveries on National Holidays. We make no guarantee as to the shipping and delivery of book(s) and may in our sole and absolute discretion, change our business practice regarding allocation, delivery and shipping, without notice. We may from time to time revise these Terms of Use but we will not necessarily provide you notice of the revisions. It is up to you to review the Terms of Use frequently to determine if there have been any changes made.

Return of Rented Books:

Doorsteobooks™ reserves the right to request return of any and all book(s) in the possession of Members at any time. Members understand and agree to promptly return any book(s) to Doorsteobooks™ upon request, and that failure to do so within five days of the request makes Members liable for the cost of those book(s) plus 50% of that cost as a handling charge, for which Doorsteobooks™ reserves the right to charge the Member's refundable security deposit.

No due dates or late fees:

Provided you continue to be a paying member of our service, you may keep the book(s) delivered to you as long as you like. You will be required to return the books within 5 days following any cancellation of the service or be subject to charge for unreturned book(s). Also, you may be charged for book(s) that you lose or damage. In the event that the number of lost book(s) on your account becomes excessive, as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion, we will notify you that your account has been placed on hold for review and may charge your Payment Method for the estimated cost of the lost book(s). We will alert you of any potential charges prior to charging your Payment Method.
