Last updated 15 October 2026

1. Using this website

You may use this website for lawful personal or business purposes connected with learning about A Book's Life, donating books, locating book banks, making enquiries or discussing a potential host or partner relationship.

You must not deliberately misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, introduce malicious code, scrape it in a way that materially disrupts the service, or use it for unlawful or fraudulent activity.

2. Information on the website

We try to keep information accurate and useful, but book-bank locations, opening arrangements, partner information and other operational details can change. Check the relevant page before making a special journey and contact us if something appears incorrect.

General content on this website is provided for information and is not professional, legal, financial or environmental advice.

3. Donations

Leaving books at an A Book's Life collection point is subject to our Donation terms. Those terms explain ownership, sorting, reuse, educational donations and recycling.

4. Book-bank host and partner enquiries

An enquiry, email exchange or discussion about hosting a book bank or working with us does not by itself create a binding agreement. Any operational responsibilities, collection arrangements, permissions or commercial terms should be confirmed separately in writing before a location begins operating.

5. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the design, branding, written content and original graphics on this website are owned by or licensed to A Book's Life. You may view and print reasonable extracts for personal reference, but you may not reproduce our branding or substantial website content for commercial use without permission.

6. Links and third-party services

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience or reference. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

7. Website availability

We may change, suspend or withdraw parts of the website where needed for maintenance, security, operational changes or other reasonable reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

8. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where the law does not allow that. Subject to that, we are not responsible for losses caused by reliance on outdated location information, third-party services, events outside our reasonable control, or uses of this website that are inconsistent with these terms.

If you are using the website as a consumer, your statutory rights are not affected.

9. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms when the website or service changes. The latest version applies from the date shown at the top of this page.

10. Governing law

These website terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory rights you have under the law that applies where you live. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction except where applicable consumer law provides otherwise.
