Terms & Condition
Please don't use keyword spamming or keyword stuffing techniques
Keyword spamming is the practice of listing lots of often irrelevant phrases or words in an ad (for example postcodes, locations or makes and types of cars not relevant to the current ad) purely in an attempt to have a better search ranking. We don't allow this practice on MarketFair TPS because it is very frustrating to our users to find irrelevant ads in their search results, it can make ads hard to read and it creates an unlevel playing field. It actually disadvantages you as an advertiser. If you're found to be doing this we may suspend your access to MarketFair TPS.
Using the Automotive category as an example:
1. Keyword stuffing does not give any advantage to listings and in fact disadvantages them. If
someone searches for a ‘turbo diesel’ and a hybrid car comes up, there is very little chance that the potential
buyer is going to change their mind on what they searched for and buy a hybrid instead of the turbo diesel
they’ve searched for. These irrelevant comments waste space which could be used to explain what sets this car
apart from the hundreds of similar ones which are listed MarketFair TPS.
2. Time is better spent ensuring vehicle prices are on par with market prices and checking
that great photos are posted.
Posting as a dealer
For the most part, businesses can sell on MarketFair TPS just like private sellers. In some instances
businesses, or people considered to be advertising for commercial purposes, may be subject to specific limits
and/or policies.
Currently these apply to the Automotive > Cars, Vans & Utes category only.
Business limits and policies are designed to ensure MarketFair TPS remains a vibrant and transparent market
place for buyers and sellers, private and business alike.
What are the Cars / vehicles / motorbikes / parts policies?
The vehicles categories are for both private and commercial sellers and buyers.
Please don't include links to auction sites or links to your ad posted on another site.
Write the most descriptive and informative ad as possible, always provide accurate information such as
kilometres. Users will appreciate a well made ad and you may find you gain a greater response. Remember, you
can use as much space as you like and you can even include photos, so there is no need to direct people
elsewhere.
Ensure your advertisement isn't breaching any applicable government laws/legislations. It is the responsibility
of the advertiser before posting an ad on MarketFair TPS that content advertised adheres to MarketFair TPS Posting Policies as well as applicable laws. As a condition of your use of MarketFair TPS
specified under our Terms of Use, you agree that you will not violate any laws.
What are the Community Guidelines?
MarketFair TPS is a community site and we rely on your reports and feedback because it helps to shape the site
and keep it friendly, safe, up to date and relevant for everyone. We like to think of it as you, the MarketFair
TPS community, policing the site and keeping out the bad guys.
While most MarketFair TPS users have great success buying, selling, renting or connecting with others,
sometimes we do receive reports of people trying to scam or defraud users.
If you find an ad on MarketFair TPS that you think is illegal, or a scam or fraud you can report to us by
clicking on the ‘Report’ button shown on every MarketFair TPS ad. Reporting a suspicious ad brings it to our
attention so that we can review and, if necessary, take it down quickly.
If you reply to an ad and you get a suspicious request from the poster of the ad (e.g. requests for money to be
sent via bank transfer or a payment service that is not MarketFair TPS PayPal integration through MarketFair
TPS messages) please forward the email to us and stop all contact with that person.
If you experience harassment or abuse in connection with either an ad on MarketFair TPS or an email received
from a MarketFair TPS user then please report it to us.

You may not disassemble or decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover any source code contained in the Services.

We can remove content where we have grounds for suspecting the violation of these terms, our policies or of any party’s rights. If you have a good faith belief that a listing on any of the Services infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, all you need to do is download our Notice of Infringement (NOCI) form, fill it out, and email it to the email address in the form. Only the intellectual property rights owner can report potentially infringing items or listings through Marketfair TPS VERO Program. After we receive your first NOCI, Marketfair TPS will confirm your enrolment in our program and send you the instructions on how to submit future reports electronically. We can share, in accordance with applicable law, the completed NOCI form with the third party that originally posted the potentially infringing listing.
9. Third Party services on Marketfair TPS.
You may use the PayPal payment gateway for some financial transactions on our Services. When you link your PayPal account to your Account, you can use your PayPal account to pay or be paid for items by buyers or sellers while using Marketfair TPS Services. You acknowledge and agree that by utilising any third party services through our Services (such as PayPal), you are bound by the terms and conditions of that third party and we are not liable for any loss, claims or damages howsoever arising in connection with that third party’s services.
If you to link your PayPal account to your Account you appoint Marketfair TPS as your limited agent to:
a. provide to PayPal your name, address, payment amount, item details, item category, and all other information required by PayPal to enable PayPal to process payments to or from your PayPal account; and
b. receive payment confirmation and decline notices from PayPal in respect of your PayPal payment transactions.
When you link your PayPal account to your Account, we accept our appointment as your limited agent to undertake those activities specified in the paragraph above. Our appointment as your agent to undertake these activities terminates immediately upon your Account ceasing to be linked to your PayPal account.
If you have a dispute with PayPal, a buyer, or a seller, that does not arise directly as a result of an error by Marketfair TPS, in respect of any payment transacted (or failed to be transacted) on your PayPal Account, you release us and our affiliates (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees and those of our affiliates) from any and all claims demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
Marketfair TPS is not able to access your complete financial details from PayPal or your PayPal account. At no time does Marketfair TPS hold any of the funds when a buyer pays a seller using PayPal. Funds are transferred directly by PayPal from the buyer’s PayPal account to the seller’s PayPal account after the deduction by PayPal of any relevant PayPal fees. PayPal's terms and conditions apply to your use of PayPal when you access PayPal’s services from our Services, and you must agree to PayPal’s terms and conditions in order to use the PayPal’s services. You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable to you for any loss or damage you incur arising from your use of the PayPal method, unless such loss or damage was as a direct result of Marketfair TPS error, in which case our liability is limited in accordance with clause 11
10. Legal and Financial Advice.
You acknowledge and agree that you have the opportunity to obtain independent legal and financial advice from appropriately qualified professional advisers and that you take into account your personal objectives, financial situation and needs before buying or selling an item via our Services.
You acknowledge and agree that the information provided by Marketfair TPS in relation to using PayPal’s services is factual in nature only and Marketfair TPS has not provided a recommendation or statement of opinion intended to influence your decision on whether or not to use PayPal’s services and that you cannot rely on any of Marketfair TPS advertising materials, terms, instructions or policies as a recommendation, statement of opinion or financial product advice.
11. Limitation of Liability.
Nothing in these Terms of Use (including this clause 11) excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or statutory guarantees that you may have under applicable laws that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified, including any such rights or statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.
To the extent that these Terms of Use are found to exclude, restrict or modify any such rights or statutory guarantees, those rights and/or statutory guarantees prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do. As most of the content on the Services comes from other users, we do not guarantee the accuracy of postings or user communications or the quality, safety, or legality of what is offered. Without in any way limiting the above, you understand and agree that any seller listing which utilises the 'Price Drop' feature has been applied at the sole discretion of that specific user for their listing. Marketfair TPS does not in any way represent, warrant or guarantee that a price displayed for any listing on the Services which uses the Price Drop feature is a genuine price reduction.
We also cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our Services. While we will use reasonable efforts to maintain an uninterrupted service, we cannot guarantee this and, to the extent permitted by law, we do not give any promises or warranties (whether express or implied) about the availability of our Services or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. Notification functionality in the Services may not occur in real time. That functionality is subject to delays beyond our control, including without limitation, delays or latency due to your physical location or your wireless data service provider’s network.
To the extent permitted by law:
-
we are not liable for the posting of any unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene or indecent information, or material of any kind by a user of the Service which violates or infringes upon your rights, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable law.
-
and without limiting any rights that you may have under the Australian Consumer Law, Marketfair TPS liability to you for any failure by Marketfair TPS to comply with any statutory guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law is limited to Marketfair TPS supplying the Services again or paying you the cost of having the Services supplied again.
In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we (including our parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and our and their officers, directors, agents and employees) are not liable, and you agree not to hold us responsible, for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, loss of money, goodwill or reputation, profits, other intangible losses, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages) resulting directly or indirectly from:
-
the content you provide (directly or indirectly) using our Services;
-
your use of or your inability to use our Services;
-
delays or disruptions in our Services;
-
viruses or other malicious software obtained by accessing or linking to our Services;
-
glitches, bugs, errors, or inaccuracies of any kind in our Services;
-
damage to your hardware device from the use of any Service;
-
the content, actions, or inactions of third parties, including items listed using our Services;
-
a suspension or other action taken with respect to your account for breach or these Terms of Use or our policies;
-
your need to modify practices, content, or behaviour, or your loss of or inability to do business, as a result of changes to these Terms of Use or our policies.
Marketfair TPS excludes any liability to you for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result of Marketfair TPS failing to comply with an applicable statutory guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law if you suffering such loss or damage was not reasonably foreseeable and was not directly caused by Marketfair TPS.
12. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless Marketfair TPS and our affiliates and our and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”), from any claim made by any third party, together with any amounts payable to the third party whether in settlement or as may otherwise be awarded, and reasonable legal costs incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties, arising from or relating to your use of the Services, any alleged violation by you of the applicable terms, and any alleged violation by you of any applicable law or regulation. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, but doing so will not excuse your indemnity obligations.
13. Release
If you have a dispute with one or more Marketfair TPS users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
14. Personal Information
By using the Services, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and use of your personal information by us (the “data controller”) on servers located in the United States and in the European Union as further described in our privacy policy.
15. Severability
If a provision of these Terms of Use is illegal or unenforceable in any relevant jurisdiction, it may be severed for the purposes of that jurisdiction without affecting the enforceability of the other provisions of these Terms of Use.
16. General
These Terms of Use and the other policies posted on the Services set out the entire agreement between Marketfair TPS and you, overriding any prior agreements. From 1 July 2017, this agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. We both submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia. If we don’t enforce any particular provision, we are not waiving our right to do so later. If a court strikes down any of these Terms of Use, the remaining terms will survive. We may automatically assign this agreement in our sole discretion in accordance with the notice provision below (our assignment to an affiliate will not require notice). Your notices to us must be sent via our online contact form under the topic of 'Legal notices or inquiries'.
We will send notices to you via the email address you provide, or by registered mail. Notices sent by registered mail will be deemed received five days following the date of mailing. We may update this agreement at any time, with updates taking effect when you next use the site or after 30 days, whichever is sooner. No other amendment to this agreement will be effective unless made in writing, signed by you and by us. Send questions, comments or complaints to

What are the Jobs Policies?
-
Each job posting must advertise a specific position (one vacancy only).
-
Generic postings advertising multiple vacancies or employment services are not allowed.
-
Each ad for employment should state whether the job is permanent (full time or part time), fixed term or casual, pay rate (specifying whether it is hourly, weekly, annually), other benefits, location and an overview of the position duties and responsibilities.
-
If the ad is for a pieceworker (someone who gets paid based on the quantity produced i.e. how much they picked, packed, pruned or made) and the employee would be entitled to an hourly or weekly pay rate, then this rate of pay must be included in this ad, or the ad must include a statement that a hourly or weekly rate will apply to this role.
-
All ads for employment must meet minimum employment law conditions outlined in the Fair Work Act 2009 and applicable modern award/enterprise agreements.
-
All job postings for employment must offer a rate of pay that satisfy minimum rates of pay requirements, and that comply with relevant legislation (including the Fair Work Act 2009). Significant consequences may result for breaches of the Fair Work Act including prosecution, financial penalties and requirements to make back payments
-
The current minimum wage rates can be accessed http://www.fairwork.gov.au/pay-and-wages/minimum-wages This rate increases in July every year. Employees may also be covered by a modern award (which might have higher rates of pay than the national minimum wage). Casual employees are also usually entitled to be paid an extra casual loading (typically, 25% of the base rate of pay).
-
Modern awards and enterprise agreements may require employers to pay you extra if you work at certain times (for example, on weekends, public holidays, after normal business hours or if you work more than 8 hours a day/38 hours a week).
-
Permanent employees (part-time and full-time) are also entitled to personal leave, annual leave and long service leave. In some states and territories, casual employees are entitled to long service leave.
-
The National Employment Standards in the Fair Work Act 2009 set other minimum terms and conditions for employees in Australia (such as maximum hours of work and other leave entitlements).
-
Subject to some minor exceptions, employers are also required to contribute superannuation on behalf of their employees (part-time, full-time and casual). Temporary residents are also eligible for superannuation. Contributions must be made by the employer into the employee’s nominated superannuation fund (or into a default fund if the employee does not nominate a fund) at least every three months. Superannuation paid on an employee’s ordinary time and the actual rate can be accessed here. Superannuation is payable for employees over 18 years of age (regardless of how many hours per week they work) and for employees under 18 years old if they work more than 30 hours in a week.Superannuation is payable for employees over 18 years of age (regardless of how many hours per week they work) and for employees under 18 years old if they work more than 30 hours in a week.

2. Membership
2.1 Benefits of Membership
We have implemented a membership system whereby we may accept certain users to become members of our website
(Membership, Members). Members can enjoy a much more interactive and comprehensive online experience.
Membership gives users the ability (subject to these Terms of Use):
to access private webpages and information which relate to them specifically (Membership Account); and
to use the online classifieds platform which is contained within our website (Classifieds Services).
2.2 Types of Membership
There are two types of Membership for our website:
Standard User Membership; and
Organisational Membership.
As a Member you may access and use the features and functionality of our website which relate to your type of
Membership (as well any other services which we may offer you from time to time). Access to and use of the
features and functionality relating to each type of Membership is prohibited unless you are a Member with such
Membership type (as at the time of making or attempting such access or use). As a Member you must comply at all
times with these Terms of Use.
The features and services available to Members will depend on the type of Membership taken up and whether any
payment of fees and charges apply. These differences may change from time to time due to the independently
changing nature of each type of Membership. We may change each type of Membership (including without limitation
by changing or deleting features or functionality) at any time and for any reason without notice.
2.3 Standard User Membership
Australian residents aged 18 years or older can apply for Standard User Membership in accordance with section 2.5 below.
2.4 Organisational Membership
The following types of organisations can apply for Organisational Membership:
Non-profit organisations
For the purposes of these Terms of Use, a non-profit organisation is a group or association consisting of any
number of individual members which is not operating (and which cannot be wound up) for the profit or gain
(either directly or indirectly) of any of those members.
Charitable organisations
For the purposes of these Terms of Use, a charitable organisation is an entity established for altruistic
purposes that the law regards as charitable. To be regarded as a charitable organisation an entity needs to at
least have the following characteristics:
it exists for the public benefit or the relief of poverty
its sole purpose is charitable (within the legal sense of that term)
it is non-profit
it is also a trust fund or an institution.
Organisations which embody a "social enterprise"
For the purposes of these Terms of Use, an organisation embodies a "social enterprise" if we deem it to be so.
We reserve the right in our sole discretion to refuse to deem (and revoke any previous deeming by us) that an
organisation embodies a "social enterprise". Without limitation, we will take into account the extent to which
an organisation promotes environmental sustainability in considering whether it embodies a "social enterprise".
Only the organisations set out in this section 2.4 can apply for, take up and maintain Organisational
Membership. We reserve the right to request and verify the credentials any person who submits an application
for Organisational Membership at any time. We may refuse any application for Organisational Membership if we
think (in our sole belief) that the person making such application is not a non-profit organisation and
otherwise in accordance with section 2.5 below.
2.5 Applying for Membership
You may apply for either Standard User Membership or Organisational Membership by the relevant application process provided on our website from time to time and, in any event, only in accordance with these Terms of Use.
Without limiting anything else in these Terms of Use, we may refuse your application for any type of Membership
if:
you fail to properly complete the relevant application for Membership; or
we believe that you will or intend to breach or you have breached any part of these Terms of Use.
For each type of Membership, Members must actively accept these Terms of Use when prompted during the relevant
Membership application process.

8. Animals Policy
Whilst we welcome the community to use the Freebies section of Marketfair TPS and we want to help find loving homes for pets that needed them, we have come to realise that this was not the best way to help combat the issues regarding irresponsible pet ownership. Therefore we no longer allow animals of any kind to be listed on the Freebies section of Marketfair TPS. If you have an animal that you can no longer care for or rehouse, please surrender them to an animal shelter to ensure they are cared for and have the best chance and finding a new home.

Pets and Livestock Policies
These policies are based on RSPCA principles
The MarketFair TPS Pets section exists to help the community find safe, caring homes for pets. All ads placed in the MarketFair TPS Pets section must comply with the MarketFair TPS Pets Code Of Practice
For advice on responsible pet ownership, please see our MarketFair TPS Guide to Responsible Pet Ownership.
The MarketFair TPS Pets section is NOT intended to facilitate uncontrolled or irresponsible breeding, irresponsible commercial pet trading, trade of dogs or any other animal for the purpose of fighting or stud services. Any ads reported to us for promoting this kind of activity will be removed. Users are responsible for complying with MarketFair TPS policies about adopting, buying or selling a pet and posting an ad on MarketFair TPS.
MarketFair TPS is a community site and we rely on your feedback to keep the site friendly and safe. We like to think of it as you, the MarketFair TPS community, ’policing’ the site and keeping out the bad guys. Ads which you believe promote uncontrolled/unsafe/unethical/irresponsible breeding practices please report to hello@marketfairtps.com.au and we will take a look.
In our continuous commitment to animal welfare, animal rights and responsible pet ownership, we have the following rules in the Pets category on MarketFair TPS:
Policies for all community members:
-
MarketFair TPS encourages all pet owners to have their animals checked with a vet, vaccinated and microchipped before they are advertised on MarketFair TPS. If you are selling a microchipped pet, microchipping documentation should be provided to the buyer. Microchipping is required in most States and Territories, please see the following for further information: https://www.rspca.org.au/campaigns/responsible-pet-ownership/microchipping
-
To better protect animal welfare and support responsible trading under our MarketFair TPS Pets Code of Practice, MarketFair TPS has a mandatory insertion fee across all pets and animal listings. The insertion fee will vary depending on the category of pet, and the supply and demand of those categories. To help reunite lost pets with their owners, users will be able to post animals within the Lost & Found section for free. Animal shelters and rescue organisations will also be able to list for free. The insertion fee can be paid using a credit card or PayPal. After paying the insertion fee, your ad will appear on MarketFair TPS for 30 days. At the end of the 30-day period, you will have the option to re-list it payable at the same rate.

Please find below our policy as to the minimum required age a specific animal must be before it can be sold or made available for adoption. We strictly enforce these policies as part of our commitment to animal welfare. You can post your ad before the minimum required age as long as you ensure to include the date the animal will be available for adoption/rehoming/sale in your ad description. If the attribute corresponding to the date of birth is not otherwise included in the process of creating your ad, please ensure it is accurately and clearly described in your ad description.

-
Never send or wire money (especially Western Union, Moneygram or services like Bidpay) to someone you don’t know or trust
-
Always inspect the property before agreeing to a sale
-
Use common sense. If something sounds too good to be true - it probably is
Please note: People willing to rent a property without seeing it/ or the prospective tenant first, even if they claim that it is because they are currently overseas, are unlikely to be legitimate.

TICKETS TO EVENTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES AND SOUTH AUSTRALIA
If you are selling a ticket to a sporting or entertainment event in New South Wales and South Australia that is subject to a resale restriction, it is illegal for you to advertise or sell the ticket for a price that is more than 10% above the original ticket price (i.e. more than 110% of the face value of the ticket). A resale restriction is a term of condition of a ticket that limits or prohibits resale of the ticket (including any term or condition that provides for the ticket to be cancelled or rendered invalid if it is resold). You should contact the ticket issuer if you are unsure whether the ticket you are selling is subject to a resale restriction.
The law also requires that you state the following in your ticket ad:

specific seating or location details for the ticket (e.g. baya number, row number, and seat number of the ticket).
TICKETS TO DECLARED EVENTS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The South Australian government prohibits scalping of tickets to any event (sporting or concert) declared as a "major event". It is unlawful to on-sell (or offer for sale) to any "major event" at a price which exceeds the original ticket price by more than 10%, unless you have been given written approval to do so by the event organiser.
For more information, see the Major Events Act 2013.TICKETS TO MAJOR EVENTS IN VICTORIA
The Minister for Tourism and Major events declares some events to be "major events" under the Major Events Act 2009 (Vic). Whether an event is classed as a major event depends on factors including the size of the event, demand for tickets, likely media coverage and whether the promoter or event organiser has asked for the event to be declared as a major event.
Most major events have strict conditions around ticket resale. For some major events, ticket re-sale is completely prohibited and anyone who buys an illegal ticket can be denied access to the event. For other major events, it is illegal for you to advertise or sell the ticket for a price that is more than 10% above the original value of the ticket (i.e. more than 110% of the face value of the ticket), which will always be printed on the ticket.
You should check with the event organiser or promoter to see whether an event has been declared as a major event, and check the ticket terms and conditions before selling a ticket to a major event on MarketFair TPS.
