They have grounds to suspend your account if they suspect anything. I haven't looked at the TOS of other bookstores such as Amazon, but they probably have similar statements. Which really makes me hate having to resort to falsehoods to buy from these bookstores, but sometimes I just really want to read the bloody book and I've sworn off buying any more paper books.
