6. All rented books must be returned in acceptable re-saleable condition, as judged by the bookstore staff. Any loss or damage to books rented under this agreement are solely the responsibility of the renter.
7. By entering into this agreement, the renter acknowledges that they understand the agreement and will abide by it. They agree specifically not to contest a charge, on the credit card they provided, made within the scope of the non-return, damage or late fees associated with the rental as described above.
