By accepting these terms, you acknowledge and accept the varied conditions of the donated books.

4. Quantity Accuracy: The quantity of donated books in each box may be slightly inaccurate due to errors with our inventory software but will not be more than 10% off.

If you receive a box with a quantity that differs from the stated amount by more than 10%, please contact us for resolution.
