Terms of service

Browsing and getting a buyback quote need no account. Ordering, saving to a wishlist and selling to us do.

Keep your password to yourself — anything done from your account is treated as done by you. Changing your password signs out every other device, which is the fastest way to lock someone else out.

Prices are quoted in Indian Rupees (₹). Under Indian tax law, printed physical books are exempt from GST (0% Nil Rated), while stationery, art supplies, and merchandise attract standard Goods & Services Tax (GST), which is transparently itemized at checkout.

Prices never exceed the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) marked by the publisher or manufacturer. Any discount shown on the site is calculated directly against the authentic MRP.

Stock is limited and not reserved simply by adding an item to your cart. If a book or stationery item runs out before checkout completes, the item remains in your cart marked waiting for stock, is excluded from your total, and the rest of your order proceeds normally. We notify you by email as soon as fresh stock arrives.

Every physical book sold on BookVuk is a genuine, legally published edition sourced from authorized distributors, publishers, or legitimate readers under the legal Doctrine of First Sale. We strictly prohibit and do not stock pirated, scanned, or photocopied prints.

Stationery and craft supplies are 100% authentic, sourced directly from certified makers and brand representatives. Handcrafted items may feature natural variations in texture, color, or grain that highlight their handmade nature.

An order can be cancelled with one click while it is still in Processing status. Once an order is packed or handed over to our courier partner, it cannot be cancelled from the site.

Cancelling restores the inventory immediately and initiates an automatic refund back to your original payment source. For full timelines and the return window on books and stationery, please read our Cancellation & Refund Policy and Shipping & Delivery Policy.

Card and UPI payments are handled by our payment provider. We never see or store your card number — it does not reach our servers.

An order is confirmed as paid when the provider tells us the money moved, not when your browser says so. If a payment fails or is abandoned, the order stays unpaid and nothing is dispatched.

A quote is what we will pay if the book arrives in the condition you selected. It is fixed when you submit, so later changes to our rates do not affect an offer you already have.

We check every book on arrival. If it grades lower than described, we tell you the revised amount before paying — you are not committed to accepting it. If a book arrives damaged beyond selling, we will say so and explain why.

By sending us a book you confirm it is yours to sell, is complete, and is not a pirated or photocopied edition.

Credit earned from buyback is spendable on BookVuk. It is not cash: it cannot be withdrawn, transferred to another account, or exchanged for money. Choose a bank payout at the time of selling if you want money instead.

Only part of any single order can be paid with credit — the remaining share is payable normally. The exact limit is shown at checkout. Credit does not expire.

You may leave one review per book. Keep it about the book. We remove reviews containing abuse, personal information, or spam, and we do not edit reviews to make them more favourable.

We may update these terms. The date at the top is when they last changed, and the version in force is the one published when you place an order.
