Welcome to Joy Unlimited. By accessing or using our website and purchasing from our store, you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before placing an order. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.
1. About Us
Joy Unlimited is an online store specializing in the sale of pre-owned and occasionally new books. We are based in Fairfax, Virginia, United States, and sell to customers across the United States. Our store is operated on the Shopify platform.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By visiting our website, browsing our products, or completing a purchase, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), that you have read and understood these Terms of Service, and that you agree to be bound by them. We reserve the right to update or modify these terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
3. Products
3.1 Pre-Owned Books
Joy Unlimited sells pre-owned (used) books. All items are described to the best of our ability, including their condition. Please note that used books may show signs of prior use such as wear on covers, highlighting, annotations, or minor cosmetic imperfections. Such characteristics are inherent to pre-owned merchandise and do not constitute a defect unless they significantly differ from the listing description.
3.2 Product Descriptions
We make every effort to accurately describe our products, including condition, edition, and any notable features. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions are entirely free from error. If you receive an item that is materially different from its description, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
3.3 Availability
All products are subject to availability. Since many of our items are one-of-a-kind pre-owned copies, availability may change at any time. In the rare event that an item you ordered becomes unavailable after purchase, we will notify you promptly and issue a full refund.
4. Pricing
All prices are listed in US Dollars (USD) and are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors at any time. If a pricing error is discovered after you have placed an order, we will contact you to inform you of the correct price and give you the option to proceed with or cancel your order.

5.1 Order Acceptance
Placing an order on our website constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order at our discretion. An order is confirmed only upon receipt of an order confirmation email from us.

All payments are processed securely through Shopify Payments. We accept major credit cards and other payment methods made available at checkout. By submitting your payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.

5.3 Sales Tax

Risk of loss and title for items purchased from Joy Unlimited passes to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier.
