This Privacy Policy identifies how we collect, use and protect the personal information you provide to us when you visit this site. By using The Bookstore site, you agree with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

What Information Do We Collect and How Is It Used?
Information you actively submit to The Bookstore. You may choose to provide certain personal information to The Bookstore through this site. This "personal information" may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and credit card information. You may be asked to provide this information when you register to create an account with The Bookstore, to place an order with The Bookstore, or to contact The Bookstore with a question or comment. We use this information to fulfill your orders for books and related merchandise, to provide customer support, and to communicate with you.

Except as described below, The Bookstore will not disclose your personal information to third parties who are not our affiliates without your consent. We do not sell or exchange customer lists or customer information for marketing purposes with unaffiliated third parties, and will not do so without your express permission. We may, however, share personal information described above with our affiliates for business or marketing purposes. When completing the registration process you will be asked if you wish to receive emails from us pertaining to your order and other information about The Bookstore such as sales and events. Both options will be selected for you, however you can choose to opt out.

The Bookstore may disclose personal information to government and regulatory authorities as permitted or required by applicable law, to enforce or apply the terms of any of our policies or user agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Bookstore, our users, or others.

The bookstore will not accept returns/exchanges via COD. We are not responsible for lost return/exchange packages. Therefore, we highly recommend that you insure any mailed returns/exchanges. The credit for your return will be applied to the form of payment used to make the purchase or with a store gift card.

Returns and Exchanges in your Campus Bookstore

Returns and exchanges made in your on-campus bookstore must adhere to the same timeframes as returns or exchanges processed through the mail.

Ordering

We reserve the right to reject any order you place with us, and/or or to limit quantities on any order, without giving any reason. If we reject your order, we will generally attempt to notify you using the e-mail address you gave us when you placed the order.

Generally, credit and debit cards are not charged until we either ship the item(s) to you or confirm availability (at which time you will be charged only for the goods we have actually shipped along with any appropriate taxes or shipping charges). However, we may pre-authorize your order amount with your credit or debit card issuer at the time you place the order, which may have an effect on your available credit line. Please contact your credit card issuer for more information.
