User Agreement

Introduction

This agreement, Trader’s User Agreement, Trader’s Privacy Policy and all other policies available on our site contain the terms and conditions under which Trader offers you access to Trader’s websites, services, applications and tools (the “Services”). You can find our policies here. All policies, including Trader’s Privacy Policy, form part of this User Agreement. By using the Services, you agree to this User Agreement.

Extent

Trader Pakistan is a marketplace that allows users to market, sell and buy basically anything at several different price models and locations. Trader Pakistan is not seller in the traditional sense.

Trader Pakistan does not own any of the items marketed or sold through Trader marketplace and is not a party to the transactions between buyers and sellers. The purchase agreements are entered into directly between the buyer and the seller.

We can provide guidance on pricing, advertising and other issues as part of our Services. Such guidance is provided for your information and you may choose not to follow it. Trader Pakistan does not review users’ ads or content. We can help resolve disputes between users, but Trader Pakistan has no control over and does not guarantee that the items being advertised are of a certain quality, are safe or legal; that users’ content, ads or ratings are accurate and truthful; the ability of sellers to sell the items; or that the buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.
