We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express credit cards. We do not accept debit cards.

Your card’s expiration date must be beyond this time frame.

Please ensure that you are using the proper CVV code for your card, and that the billing address matches the address of the card holder. You may need to dial the customer service number located on your credit card to diagnose the problem.

Sometimes it is almost as cheap to buy a book as it would be to rent it. This can happen with very low cost books, such as paperback novels, or with older books when a new edition is scheduled to be released. If we are not renting a specific book, we will offer a used copy for sale if we have it in stock, and we will provide an option for you to purchase a new book (and still save money over buying the book at your campus bookstore).

No. We ship to the 48 contiguous US States. We do not ship to Hawaii or to Alaska. We do not ship to military addresses (APO/FPO). We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

We’ve tried to keep the registration process quick and easy. You need to set up an account so that we can bill your credit card properly, and manage your transaction through to its completion.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee overnight deliveries due to the fact that we use multiple fulfillment partners, and many of them are not equipped to handle overnight deliveries. Most orders are received in 4-7 days from the order date. Please order in advance of the starting date of your classes if at all possible.

Prices are generated dynamically and reflect market conditions for each book. Your price is not final until you complete the checkout procedure and pay for your book.

We sell and rent many thousands of books and we try very hard not to make mistakes. If we have made a mistake with your order, please contact us as soon as possible by emailing us bookstore@westmont.edu or by calling us at 805-565-6064. Please include your order number in your email to us. We will resolve the problem with you as rapidly as possible.

You can reset your password by following the “lost password” link next to the login section for your account. A new temporary password will be emailed to you.

Please note that Westmont College Store will NEVER ask you for account information, credit card information, or your password via email.

On rare occasions, inaccurate pricing information is displayed on our Website, and we have the right to cancel orders that are made with pricing errors. If this occurs, we will seek to contact you immediately.

Cancellations may also occur due to violations of our Policies.

Please contact us at bookstore@westmont.edu as soon as possible but in any event no later than 3 business days after you receive your book. Please include your order number in your email. We will work with you to correct the problem.

When you sell a book to Westmont College Store, we will pay you CASH for your books, not credit. For the best pricing, sell your books during the last few weeks of school. This is the time when we are looking to build our inventories and are paying higher buyback prices for books that we need and that are being used again the next semester.

Westmont College Store purchases books that are in Good condition, Very Good condition, or better. What does this mean?

· The covers must be intact and not covered by tape (normal bookstore stickers are OK)

· The cover must not be loose or pulling away from the pages

· The copyright page must be intact

· The cover and the pages must be free from water damage (or any other damage caused by liquids)

· SOME highlighting or underlining is acceptable, as long as fewer than 20% of the pages have highlighting or underling on them. Also, the text cannot be obscured by writing or drawing.

· Study guides and other fill-in books must have all pages, with no answers written into the book

Your savings are made possible because over time, multiple people will rent the same book. Therefore you are agreeing to take care of the book so that it is still in good condition when it is returned to us. We understand what regular textbook wear is, and you will not be charged additional fees for books that are still in good condition. Simply put, this means that the covers are intact and are not bent or torn, the pages are clean of any writing or underlining, there is no highlighting or a limited amount of highlighting (highlighting on fewer than 20% of pages is acceptable), there is no water damage or staining, and the spine and binding of the book are intact and solid. Supplemental materials delivered with your book (such as CD’s and/or DVD’s) need to be returned with your book.

If your book is returned in a condition such that it cannot be rented again, you will be charged damage fees depending upon the condition of the book. These conditions are explained in detail in your End User Agreement.

Minor Damage Fees – You will be assessed a flat fee of $15 for damages such as:

· Highlighting, where the highlighting does not obscure the text of the book, and appears on more than 20% of the pages of the book

· Writing or underlining in the book, where the writing in the book does not obscure the text of the book, and appears on more than 20% of the pages of the book

· Supplemental materials (such as CD’s or DVD’s) are not returned

Major Damage Fees – If your rental book is returned to us in an unusable condition, you will be charged the full list price of the book less the rental fee you originally paid so that the book may be replaced. The damaged book will be recycled by us and not returned to you. You have the option of obtaining an undamaged copy of the book that you rented, and returning that instead. Examples of Major Damage include:

· Water damage

· Stained or missing pages

· Torn or missing cover(s)or pages

· Excessive highlighting or other markings that obscure the text and/or are present on more than 33% of the pages of the book

· Any other condition rendering the book unusable.

No – the book needs to be returned in good condition, which includes keeping the pages clean and free from any markings or underlining. For more information, please see the question “How do I avoid any damage fees when my book is returned?”

Yes – if you limit the amount of highlighting to fewer than 20% of the pages of the book. For more information, please see the question “How do I avoid any damage fees when my book is returned?”

Your Return Date will be clearly displayed on your electronic receipt, and it will also be in your account information under your ordering history. It is your responsibility to return your rental book back to your nearest Westmont College Store location by the Return Date.

We’ll try, but sometimes our informational emails are caught in spam filters. To lessen the likelihood of that happening, please add these email addresses to your address book or contact list:

bookstore@westmont.edu

You are responsible for returning your rental book by the Return Date even if you do not receive any email reminders from us.

If you wish to extend your rental period for a fee, please email us your request at bookstore@westmont.edu and we will provide you with a price quote for extending your rental for 15 days, one month, or for another semester.

If you wish to convert your rental to a purchase, please email us your request at bookstore@westmont.edu. Please include your account number in your email, and we will quote you the price to buy your book. The cost to convert to a purchase is the list price of the book less the price you paid for the rental book (not including taxes and any shipping fees).

If you wish to extend your rental period for a fee, please email us your request at bookstore@westmont.edu. Please include your account number in your email, and we will quote you the price to buy your book. Rentals can be extended for 15 days, one month, or for another semester. The price to rent the book for another semester is two-thirds (66.67%) of the price you paid to rent the book the first time.

The book is your responsibility during the rental period, and you will need to pay for a replacement copy if the book is lost or stolen. Please contact us at bookstore@westmont.edu to notify us that you will be unable to return the rental book. Please include your order number in your email.

The replacement cost is calculated as the list price of the book.

No – there are no refunds for using the book for a shortened rental period.
