Any modification shall be effective upon posting on the website. You agree to be bound to any changes to this agreement when you use the website or the service after the change is posted.
In connection with your rental order, you will select a rental return date. The rental return date will appear on your order confirmation as well as in the order details displayed in the account section of the Knetbooks website. By placing your rental order with Knetbooks, you agree to use Knetbooks online rental returns process and to return the rented merchandise to Knetbooks using the printable, prepaid UPS shipping label that is provided as part of that process. You agree that failing to use Knetbooks online rental returns process and/or the provided shipping label may cause delays and additional fees to be assessed. You agree that you are responsible for remembering the rental return date and returning the rental to us within the timeframe specified.
A valid, active credit or debit card which is tied to a financial institution is required for any rental transaction. Knetbooks accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. You hereby acknowledge and agree that Knetbooks may charge you for any lost, stolen, or damaged books associated with your account. Knetbooks will charge an additional amount to your credit or debit card if you choose to buy any rented book at any time during the rental period. By using Knetbooks, you agree to the storing of your credit or debit card information and you also agree to any additional charges specified in this agreement or on this website, including, without limitation, the new list price as indicated on our site at the time of the charge resulting from damage, lost or stolen books, auto-extensions, and/or unreturned books.

Knetbooks makes no guarantees regarding the processing time for charges.
You agree to keep your credit card or debit card in good standing during the term of your rental. Knetbooks reserves the right to charge your card a late fee of any amount leading up to but not exceeding the new list price as indicated on our site at the time of the charge for a book that is not returned. Knetbooks reserves the right to attempt a re-charge of a declined credit/debit card periodically, at any time and for any number of attempts, to collect amounts outstanding on your account. Additionally, if the primary credit/debit card on file with your account is declined, Knetbooks reserves the right to charge any of the other credit/debit cards you may have on file with your account. Knetbooks is not responsible for overdraft or other penalties/fees a customer may incur for such charges (or attempted charges). If, after these attempts, the amounts owed are still not paid, then Knetbooks reserves the right to place you into collection status. Collections may be done by Knetbooks or a third party on behalf of Knetbooks.

Such conditions include any water damage, a broken spine, missing pages, missing or torn covers, excessive highlighting (more than one-third of the content), excessive or inappropriate notes or any other such condition that makes the book unsuitable for future use.
