READVOLVE Book Owner Terms
Give your books another life. Earn when they're shared.
READVOLVE gives book owners an opportunity to make their personal collections available to other readers while earning from completed rentals.
By submitting a book to READVOLVE, you agree to the following terms.
1. Book Submission
Book owners may submit novels for consideration through READVOLVE's book submission process.
Submission does not guarantee acceptance. READVOLVE reserves the right to review and select books based on relevance, demand, condition and suitability for the collection.
2. Inspection and Approval
All submitted books must be physically inspected before being listed.
READVOLVE will assess the book's condition, record its details and assign an inventory reference.
Only approved books will be added to the catalogue.
3. Ownership
Book owners retain ownership of their books while they are listed with READVOLVE.
By submitting a book, you authorise READVOLVE to make it available for rental to customers under the platform's rental procedures.
4. Earnings
The proposed standard rental arrangement is:
Customer rental fee: KSh 400
Book owner's share: KSh 200
The owner's share becomes payable after the rental is completed, the book is returned and its condition has been inspected.
The refundable customer security deposit is separate from rental earnings and is not included in this split.
5. Book Care and Handling
READVOLVE will take reasonable care when handling, storing and facilitating the rental of accepted books.
Books will be tracked through the rental process to support accountability.
6. Damage or Loss
If a book is lost or returned with significant damage beyond reasonable reading wear, READVOLVE will assess the circumstances and communicate with the owner.
Any applicable compensation or resolution will be discussed with the owner before settlement.
7. Withdrawal of Books
Owners who wish to withdraw a listed book should contact READVOLVE.
A book may only be withdrawn once it is not currently reserved or rented and has been made available for collection by its owner.
8. Communication
Owners are responsible for providing accurate contact and book information and remaining reachable when coordination is required.
