Each member is permitted to manage only one account on Text4swap.com. Membership is only for the original registrant, thus temporary or permanent transfer of use of any account is prohibited by Text4swap.com. You agree to never list books for other persons, any organization, any institution, or any association. The listing of books for other persons or any group whatsoever for the exchange of payment, or any right whatever is not permitted on Text4swap.com.

Commercial Use Prohibited
Unless otherwise specified, our services are for your personal and non-commercial use. You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, products or services obtained from Text4swap.com’s service. Commercial use is strictly prohibited but not limited to the following:
Using Text4swap.com in any way that we consider to be commercial use is a breach of contract on the part of the offending user(s). Advanced Swapping Innovations, INC reserves the right to immediately cancel membership of anyone found to be using this website for whatever it may consider to be commercial use, without refunding any membership fees. Failure to adhere to the mentioned commercial use stipulation will result in a $50 fine for each unauthorized use of this site. You agree this fine is reasonable and waive your right to dispute it in a court of law, or any other proceeding.
Book Ownership
All users who register and become a member of Text4swap.com in doing so are acknowledging and aware they must have full ownership of all the books they list in their ‘My Books’ list, and the said books are to be in their possession and available for trading at all times while the books remain listed. Thus, the books on each user’s ‘My Books’ list at anytime whatsoever indicates the books are available for exchange and will remain so until they are swapped, sold through an offer, or removed from the ‘My Books’ list by the owner of the list prior to a swap request or offer being made for any book.
You hereby acknowledge Text4swap.com has the right to take any action it deems necessary, including the suspension/cancellation of membership, against any and/or all Swappers who list books they either do not fully own, and/or do not have available to swap, or sell in the event an offer is made. Any member who is not able to complete a book-for-book swap, and/or receive a book he/she made an offer and/or payment for due to a Swapper not adhering to any of the mentioned rules, or any other reason that directly indicates a fellow Swapper misled or acted irresponsibly, resulting in a book(s) not being available, thus directly resulting in the incompletion of the trade, may make a report to Text4swap.com and/or give a negative feedback for the offending member.
Book Condition
All members are responsible to give the true representation of the condition of each book he/she lists in their ‘My Books’ list. Advanced Swapping Innovations, INC considers misrepresentation of any book’s condition to be misleading and dishonest. Thus, Advanced Swapping Innovations, INC reserves the right to take whatever lawful action it deems fit against those found to give any book a false description, including, but not limited to, the suspension and cancellation of the account of the user who is in violation. Also, the non offending member has the right to declare the agreement reached between both users void, and may return the book in exchange for the book that he/she sent in the event of a swap transaction, or demand a full refund of the payment made in the event of an offer transaction. The non offending user may also leave a negative feedback for the offending member, and/or make a report of the incident to Text4swap.com.
Other Swapping Transaction Rules
Whenever a swap request is accepted both members are required to send the book they agreed to swap for (i.e. the book of the same name, edition, condition and all the respective descriptions listed for the book at the time of the finalization of the agreement). Members are not allowed to send another book, or a book in a condition that is of great difference to the description that was posted at the time the agreement was reached to perform the respective transaction. Violation of any of the mentioned rules can void the original agreement between the users, and thus the non offending member may make a report to Text4swap.com and/or give a negative feedback for the offending member. Also, the non offending member has the right to return the book he/she received in exchange for the book he/she sent to the offending member. Advanced Swapping Innovations, INC reserves the right to take whatever lawful action it deems fit against such offenders, including, but not limited to, the suspension and cancellation of the account of the user who is in violation.
Other Offer Transaction Rules
In the event the owner of any book accepts an offer, or the member making the offer accepts a negotiated price assigned by the owner of the book, a purchase agreement is reached and the Swapper who made the original offer is expected to pay the agreed charges. Everyone who registers and become a member of Text4swap.com in doing so acknowledges the stated offer transaction requirement, and therefore agrees to act accordingly. Failure to pay the agreed charges is a violation of the offer transaction rules, and thus the non offending member may make a report to Text4swap.com and/or give a negative feedback for the offending member. Advanced Swapping Innovations, INC reserves the right to take whatever lawful action it deems fit against such offenders, including, but not limited to, the suspension and cancellation of the account belonging to the user who is in violation.
You understand your ratings are public information and left to the discretion of other swappers. You acknowledge this information will be made available to all swappers. You agree you have full responsibility for all transactions carried out on your Text4swap.com account, and note Text4Swap.com does not make any implications or promises to interfere in any discrepancy which may arise due to ratings you are given, and/or ratings you assign for any other swapper.
Secure Swap Payment

Offer Agreement Payment
PayPal is the only medium of payment Text4swap.com recommends to pay for books being acquired through offer agreements. Text4swap.com recognizes Paypal as a reliable and safe medium for payment transactions, as it relates to how they are carried out and Paypal’s trading protection policies as stated on Paypal.com. However, Text4swap.com is not a representative of Paypal, and any user who chooses to accept and/or make payments through Paypal does so independently, and hereby agrees he/she is bound to the terms and conditions as set forth by Paypal’s Terms of Use.

Though Text4swap.com will not take responsibility for any loses or events which may occur due to problems with Offer Agreement payments we will attempt to resolve any issues that arise due to such issues regarding payment by serving as a mediator between the involved parties. Before reporting the issue to Text4swap.com you agree you will first:
1) Contact and keep proof of communication with the party with whom the payment transaction is being carried out
2) Seek the help of any authoritative personnel that may exist for the medium of payment used (e.g. Paypal’s customer service if the payment is made through Paypal)
3) Retract payment if possible in the event there is a suspicion of foul play
If the recommendations above do not resolve the issue, members should at all times report the incident to Text4swap.com. In doing so we may carry out an investigation to ensure none of the users involved are abusing their membership, which threatens the safety and experience of other users. Also, you agree to evaluate all incidents by making sure to eliminate those which may have arisen due to misunderstanding on the part of all the involved parties. In so doing, all users should at the conclusion of the transaction, despite a negative or positive outcome give a membership feedback which is a true representation of each transaction individually.
Advanced Swapping Innovations, INC reserves the right to take whatever action it deems fit against members who fail to pay for any book, including, but not limited to, the suspension and cancellation of the account of the user who is in violation.
