Terms of Service


We recommend that you read these Terms of Service for further reference.

1. Scope

The following Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to the current and future business relationships between DL Bookstore (“DL Bookstore”) and you (“you” or the “customer”). Any additional or inconsistent terms issued by you, including terms set forth on a purchase order provided by you, shall not be binding upon DL Bookstore unless DL Bookstore expressly agrees in writing.

2. Entire Agreement

Any quotation or price information provided by DL Bookstore is non-binding and subject to change without notice unless explicitly designated as binding. Oral agreements between you and DL Bookstore require written confirmation to be valid. A contract becomes effective only when it is accepted in writing by DL Bookstore (e.g., order confirmation). Both parties must cooperate to ensure the agreement’s effectiveness.
