A community built around good books
nearbybook connects real people through books. These guidelines apply to listings, profile content, conversations, and interactions arranged through the service. Help make the experience respectful, honest, and safe.
Be kind and respectful
No harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech, sexual exploitation, or discriminatory abuse. Respect a person's decision not to respond or complete an exchange. Do not send repeated unwanted messages or pressure someone into a transaction.
Keep listings honest
Use accurate photos and disclose wear, missing pages, highlighting, edition differences, and other meaningful details. Set a clear price and choose the appropriate category and class. Only list books you own or are authorized to sell. Mark sold books promptly and remove unavailable listings.
Respect rights and the law
No stolen goods, counterfeit or pirated books, unlawful content, impersonation, scams, spam, or infringement of copyright or other rights. Do not use listings or chat to promote unrelated services or harmful activities. Content involving the exploitation of children is prohibited.
Protect personal information
Do not publish another person's contact details, location, identity documents, or private messages without permission. Your listing's coordinates and seller details may be public, so choose them carefully. Never ask for passwords, verification codes, or unnecessary financial information.
Meet and exchange safely
Agree on the book, price, and collection details before meeting. Choose a public place, inspect the book, and involve a trusted adult if you are a minor. Payments and handover are arranged directly between users; nearbybook does not provide escrow or delivery. Stop an exchange if something feels wrong.
Report concerns
Use Contact Us in the app or Contact & Support on the website. Include the listing or conversation reference and a short explanation. You can also email contact@nearbybook.bilalkhan.online. Do not publicly retaliate or share someone's private information.
How reports are handled
We may request context, remove content, restrict access, suspend an account, or take other proportionate action. Serious or repeated violations may lead to permanent removal. If you believe an action was mistaken, contact support to request a review. These guidelines support our Terms & Conditions.
