Terms

These terms apply when you use BarterLocal. By making an account you agree to them.

Who can join

You must be 18 or older. One account per person. Use a real email address and keep your password safe.

No money

BarterLocal is free and takes no payments. Credits help keep trades fair. They have no cash value: you cannot buy, sell, transfer or cash them out, and they end when your account ends.

Trades are between members

BarterLocal is a place for neighbours to meet. We are not a party to any trade, and we do not check, guarantee or insure what members offer. You decide whether to trade, and you are responsible for what you give, receive and agree. If a trade goes wrong, sort it out with the other member first. To tell an admin, use Something wrong? on the trade in your chat.

What you post

You keep ownership of your photos, listings and messages. You let us show them on BarterLocal so that the service works. Post only what you have the right to share.

Rules

Follow the Guidelines. Do not offer anything on the not-allowed list, and do not harass, scam or spam other members.

What an admin can do

To keep members safe or to fix a mistake, an admin can remove a listing, hide a rating comment, cancel a trade, undo or adjust credits, and suspend or close an account. We keep a record of each of these actions.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

Liability

We provide BarterLocal as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss from a trade or from using the service. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Changes

We may change these terms. The version on this page applies.

Law

The law of New South Wales, Australia, applies to these terms.
