We’re updating our terms & conditions

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 2:30pm, Mon 18 Feb 2019

We’ve rewritten our main terms & conditions to make them clearer and much easier for everyone to understand. They’ll come into effect on 4 March 2019.

We’ll also be making some updates to the information in the terms, and we reckon these are the most important changes you should know about:

• Intellectual Property (IP) licence: We’re making our IP licence clear, to help us use member content in marketing, to develop products, to help members relist things etc. This means we will have the right to store and use member content (such as listing descriptions and photos). In the past this was discussed in our privacy policy, but we think it’s clearer being in out terms too.
• Moving specific information: We’re taking specific information out of the main terms and moving it to the relevant site policy e.g. firearms policy, special vehicle-related requirements (such as the Consumer Information Notice (CIN)) and guidelines for shipping charges. Overall, this keeps our terms generic and easy to understand. For more specific info, it’s best to go to the relevant policy or terms.

If you’ve got any questions, please get in touch.
