Terms & Conditions

At Readerama we own and manage our website, Readerama.com, together with other platforms and applications that we may from time to time offer to you (“the Readerama Sites”).

From our Readerama Sites we offer an online consumer to consumer (“C2C”)* marketplace/hosting service, where we act as an intermediary between, and facilitator for, buyers and sellers of second-hand books (“Users”).

As a buyer you will be able to view, search and buy books (“Bookbuyer”). As a seller you will be able to list books, via their individual ISBN numbers, or via manual upload which will then be available for sale to other Users (“Bookseller”). A User can be both a Bookseller and a Bookbuyer.

We do not buy or sell books ourselves and are not a party to the transaction between Users. Our main service to you is hosting the Readerama Sites for you and other Users to buy and sell second-hand books. All Booksellers acknowledge that there will be times when we need to help facilitate parts of the transaction on their behalf and, as such, authorise us to be their commercial agent at those times, as more particularly detailed in these terms. You, as the Bookseller, shall remain the merchant of record for each and every transaction.

*The Readerama Sites are currently only available for C2C transactions. The Readerama team anticipate being able to provide functionality for business users at a later date (“B2C”) and/or (“B2B”). Please watch this space for updates.

These terms apply to all users of the Readerama Sites, whether you are a Bookbuyer or a Bookseller. Terms which appear in bold have specific meanings. For ease, a full list of these terms are set out at Clause 14 (Defined terms).
