3. Book Listing Rules

  • You may only list books that belong to you.
  • You must accurately describe the condition of the book.
  • Materials that constitute copyright infringement, are illegal, or contain inappropriate content may not be listed.
  • You may not use the same book in multiple active swap offers simultaneously.

4. Swap Process

  • After a swap offer is accepted, shipment coordination is managed through mutual communication.
  • Both parties bear responsibility for sending their shipment in a timely manner.
  • After the swap is complete, you are expected to rate the other party honestly.
  • bookswapp accepts no responsibility for lost packages or damage.

5. Prohibited Behaviour

  • Creating fake or misleading profiles
  • Sending spam or harassing messages
  • Redirecting off-platform to request payment
  • Attempting to access other users' data without authorisation

6. Account Suspension
