By joining the Israel Book Exchange you agree to the group's conditions and guidelines without recourse to any other authority.

The lender is responsible for tracking books that are loaned and for contacting the borrower in the event of any problem. Arrangements about loaning and returning books are made between the lender and the borrower. The Israel Book Exchange is responsible only for the initial contact.

Please read this entire website and the guidelines section of Our Jewish Groups in order to understand how this group works.

Procedure

• Join the Israel Book Exchange
• Confirm your membership if requested by Yahoo
• Send a message to IsraelBookExchange@YahooGroups.com
  • Include the name, author, and other bibliographic information for each book that you are willing to exchange
  • Include a very brief one to two sentence summary or annotation of the book or document
• The first person who wants that document sends a message to the group specifying the books that are requested
• At that point, the lender and the borrower should contact each other directly, offline, with the following information:
  • Postal addresses. The address is not posted to the group
  • Issues relating to the return of (or payment for) books
  • Due date for the book
  • Renewals of the due date
• Any and all other offline messages are forbidden

Obligations of the borrower:

• Return the book by the date requested by the loaner
• That postage fee is your only expense
• Replace books that are damaged or lost immediately
  • You may pay for the book instead of replacing it
  • Pay the full cost of replacing the book including any purchasing charges or other expenses
  • Yes, we know that the book was only damaged. Yes, we know that the book that you borrowed was not in new condition. However, you must replace it with the cost of a brand-new book as the penalty for losing or damaging it
  • Pay the debt immediately

You may exchange books that are written in any language. However, the books must meet the conditions in this website.

The Israel Book Exchange assumes no responsibility for any expenses incurred for any reason.
