Terms of sale
We are an independent bookseller based in Amsterdam, specializing in used and out-of-print books. Our inventory includes a wide range of titles, with a focus on quality, unique finds, and accurate condition descriptions.
All orders are processed with care. We typically ship twice a week, and tracking is always provided. We respond quickly to inquiries and are happy to provide additional details about any book—just ask, and we’ll gladly take a closer look.
We value honest communication and aim to exceed expectations where possible. Our goal is not only to deliver great books, but also to offer a smooth and personal buying experience.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to De Boeken van Wouter, Amsterdam, Netherlands, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
We ship worldwide. All books are securely packed using protective materials such as cardboard book mailers or padded envelopes, depending on size and weight. We aim to use as little plastic as possible in our packaging, and we often re-use clean and sturdy materials to reduce waste.
Orders are shipped twice a week, usually on Mondays and Fridays. Tracking information is always provided after dispatch.
Shipping rates are calculated automatically by the AbeBooks system based on standard delivery. If you require additional services like insurance or express shipping, please contact us prior to placing your order.
Please note that international shipments may occasionally experience delays, especially due to customs processing. While we do our best to assist and track your package, we kindly ask for your patience in such cases. If you have concerns about the delivery time, feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to help where we can.
