Marketplace Terms and Conditions

Glasgow University Students' Representative Council (GUSRC) operates an online secondhand book marketplace consisting of an online portal through which students studying at the University of Glasgow can list books they are looking to give away or sell and for students to view listings as well.

Any breach of restrictions stated in these Terms and Conditions for listings other than the categories provided is grounds for potential termination of your account, access to the SRC Website and Membership system.
