Read-n-Joy is a library created to make its members feel a Library at their home. The specific objective of the library is to help its members explore the wonderful world of books and the joy associated with it. It’s our endeavor to find and provide all kinds of books to its members and become an integral part of their daily lives. We recommend that you carefully go through our Terms of Use, to better understand the different features of our service. By subscribing to the registration process at read-n-joy, Members accept all items in the Terms of Use and agree to abide by and be legally bound by the Terms of Use.
Any individual with a postal address is welcome to sign up with Read-n-joy. However, Read-n-joy reserves the right to accept, or reject membership at its sole discretion. Membership is for personal use only. No member may re-lend books borrowed from Read-n-joy at any time.
By subscribing to a specific membership plan of Read-n-joy, the member is explicitly agreeing to pay the reading fee attached to the plan at the frequency specified by the plan. Any non-compliance with the payment terms in spite of 2 reminders will attract penalty of 10% per payment period on the amount due and may lead to cancellation of membership.
Read-n-joy proposes a reasonable reading period with a restriction on the number of books that a member can hold at any point of time. No fine or any sort of a penalty will be levied for delayed return of books. However, under specific circumstances where many members wait on a copy for more than a month, Read-n-joy reserves a right to request for the book to be returned and members are expected to return the requested book within five days of the request. Reading fee should be paid as per the plan. In the event a member does not renew his/her subscription the company reserves the right to adjust the deposit amount towards the reading fees. If there is no balance in the deposit amount then the company will terminate the membership of that member.
At Read-n-joy, we take utmost care to maintain books in good condition. Any anomaly (unprinted pages) or damage if found should be reported either at the front desk while getting the book issued or to the delivery executive if the book is delivered at the door. Failure to check and/or report the same will be constituted as the member having received a book in good condition. While returning the book, the front desk executive or the delivery executive (if the book is collected at the door) will check for any damage of book(s) and report to the member accordingly. The determination of a book being damaged will be at the sole discretion of Read-n-joy. Members can choose to replace a lost or damaged book within 10 days or pay the penalty amount determined by Read-n-joy. The damage policy is detailed below.
| NATURE OF DAMAGE | AMOUNT THE MEMBER HAS TO PAY |
|---|---|
| If the book is lost | MRP of the Book + Rs. 50 for handling |
| Scribbling or torn page in Children’s books | Rs. 30 |
| Fine damage or torn page of any other book | 60% of the MRP of the book |
To discourage ad-hoc and short term membership, members are required to comply with a minimum membership term of three months. For members who subscribe to plans with a refundable deposit, any premature closure of membership in less than three months from the date of sign-up, will result in the reading fee for the remaining period of the mandatory term getting adjusted against the deposit. The rest of the deposit, however will be refunded. For members who subscribe to annual plans without deposit there is no refund applicable at the time of closure. Under extreme situations caused by non-compliance to the Terms of Use, Read-n-joy reserves the right to terminate a membership for any or no reason.
Since the reading fee at Read-n-joy is a flat rate and is not linked to the number of books read in a period, it is important to note that each title catalogued in Read-n-joy gets the same treatment irrespective of size, cost & target reader. Children’s books are treated the same way as other books.
Read-n-joy allows temporary suspension of membership provided the member has completed a 3 months membership period. To avail this benefit the member has to submit the temporary membership waiver form in writing at least 5 days prior to expiration of the membership. All books and magazines will be returned to us.
