Textbook Rental Agreement

In consideration for being allowed to rent textbooks, I agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. I understand that the rental textbook is property of the University Store. To rent a textbook, I must pay the textbook rental fee.  I understand that the rental fee is for one semester and the book must be returned even if needed for the following semester. By accepting the terms of the textbook rental program, I promise to return the rented textbook to the University Store in good, undamaged, and rentable condition and without excessive highlighting, underlining, or marking by 4:30 pm on the Friday of finals week.  If I am an extended campus student, I will return my rental to my extended campus office by this deadline. There is no grace period. If I drop a class or withdraw from school, I understand that textbook rental follows the same refund schedule as textbook purchases.

2. I authorize the University Store to place my records on hold and to charge my student account the difference in the rental price and the purchase price per rental textbook that is not returned by the due date, is lost or stolen, or is returned in a damaged condition that it is no longer rentable. Excessive highlighting, underlining, or marking of textbooks is not allowed and may result in the rented textbook being so damaged it is no longer rentable. I understand that I am responsible for collection costs that occur as a result of my account being placed with an internal collector or an outside collection agency. I understand that if I return someone else’s textbook and they do not return mine, I will remain responsible for my un-returned textbook.

3. I agree that all identifying stickers/labels on rental textbooks must remain intact and must not be removed, altered, or obliterated.

4. I understand that I can purchase the rental textbook for retail price minus the rental fee at any time during posted store hours prior to 4:30pm on the Friday of finals week by visiting the University Store or calling 1-800-749-8580 with a valid credit card. After this time, my student account will be charged the difference in the purchase price and rental price.

5. As a registered student at Murray State University, I have chosen to enter into this agreement with the University Store to rent a copy of this textbook that is required for my class and understand that a valid student ID is required at the time of rental. The University Store recognizes that extended campus students may not possess a valid student ID and therefore a valid M Number will be required to verify enrollment.
