Terms of Service


Last Updated:

Welcome to First-Editions.Co® (“we”, “our”, “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website and related services (“Services”). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.



1. Use of the Site

By accessing or using our Services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Services at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or suspected misuse.



2. Illustrative Listings, Product Descriptions & Sourcing Services

All images, descriptions, examples, listings, and references displayed on the website are illustrative only and may not represent the exact item ultimately sourced or delivered.

By placing an order, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are purchasing a sourcing and procurement service, not a guaranteed specific copy or the exact item pictured, unless explicitly confirmed in writing prior to purchase

  • Variations may occur in edition, printing, condition, dust jacket, binding, inscriptions, provenance, or other attributes

  • Any statements regarding rarity, desirability, historical significance, or value are opinions only, provided for informational purposes

Equal or Greater Value Standard

Where an exact illustrated item is unavailable, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to source an item of equal or greater market value, as determined at the time of sourcing based on prevailing market standards, comparable sales, dealer listings, and availability.

You acknowledge that:

  • “Equal or greater value” does not mean identical characteristics
  • Market value assessments may vary and are inherently subjective
  • Availability constraints may limit comparable options

All items are sourced subject to availability and are provided “as-is” and “as-available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Differences between illustrated listings and the item ultimately sourced do not constitute defects, misrepresentation, or grounds for cancellation, refund, return, or dispute.



3. Pricing & Availability

Prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to:

  • Correct pricing or listing errors

  • Modify, suspend, or discontinue any product or service

  • Cancel or refuse any order for any reason, including availability issues or suspected fraud

We shall not be liable for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuation.



4. Payment

All payments must be made in full at the time of purchase. Orders will not be processed until payment has been successfully received and cleared.

We are not responsible for payment processor errors, chargebacks, currency conversion differences, bank fees, or delays beyond our control.



5. All Sales Final

All sales are final.


We do not accept cancellations, refunds, returns, or exchanges except where required by applicable law. Differences between illustrative listings and the item ultimately sourced — including differences in condition, printing, or attributes — do not constitute grounds for refunds, returns, or cancellations.

Please review all information carefully and contact us before placing an order if clarification is required.



6. Shipping, Risk & Customs

We ship internationally. Shipping times and costs vary by destination.

  • Risk of loss and title pass to you upon delivery of the item to the carrier

  • We are not responsible for delays, loss, damage, theft, or seizures caused by carriers, customs authorities, or border agencies

  • You are responsible for all customs duties, taxes, import restrictions, or regulatory requirements

Any shipping insurance offered is subject solely to the terms of the carrier or insurer.



7. No Investment or Professional Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice. Collectible books and related materials are speculative assets.

You acknowledge that market conditions, demand, and valuations may fluctuate and that no representation is made regarding future value, appreciation, or resale potential.



8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, First-Editions® shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, goodwill, anticipated value, or opportunity, arising from your use of the Services or any sourced item.

Our total liability, if any, shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.



9. Intellectual Property

All content on the website — including text, images, listings, descriptions, rankings, databases, logos, branding, and design — is the exclusive property of First-Editions.Co® or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, scrape, distribute, republish, or commercially exploit any content without prior written consent.



10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.



11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
