Terms & conditions

We’ve updated clause 4.2 (c) of our terms and conditions.  This clause outlines that items you list must be in your possession, except where Trade Me has approved otherwise in writing.  It also clarifies that motor vehicles (as defined under the Motor Vehicle Sales Act) may be listed on the site while in transit to New Zealand.

Privacy policy

We’ve also updated our privacy policy to outline the third party services that Trade Me may use.  The new clause is as follows:

"Where Trade Me contracts third parties to undertake various services, we may provide those third parties with personal information required to fulfil those services.  These contracted services may include sending you letters for address verification, or conducting research for Trade Me to ensure the Services we provide you are relevant and personalised to your interests.  Trade Me may also use third party customer relationship management services to manage customer agreements, enquiries, and generate reports for internal use.  We will require any third party to undertake strict precautions to protect any personal information against unauthorised use or disclosure."
