Payment & Marketplace Disclaimer

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

This disclaimer explains how the TradeAtlas platform operates and clarifies what the platform does and does not do. By using this platform, you agree to the terms outlined below.

Platform Role

The platform is not a seller. All listings are created and managed by independent sellers.

The platform does not inspect, verify, or guarantee listings. Listings reflect only what the seller has submitted. We do not verify vehicle history, ownership, condition, or authenticity of any item.

The platform is a marketplace facilitator only. We provide the tools for buyers and sellers to connect, but we are not a party to your transaction.

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe and sent directly to sellers. The platform does not hold, manage, or control payment funds.

The platform does not provide buyer protection, escrow, or transaction guarantees. Payment requests are a facilitation tool only. Using Stripe through the platform does not create any additional protections beyond what Stripe offers directly.

Disputes over payment are between you and the seller. Contact the seller directly to resolve payment issues. The platform does not mediate or refund payments on your behalf.

Vehicles & Parts Legitimacy

The platform is not responsible for stolen or illegally obtained vehicles or parts. Sellers are solely responsible for owning items and having the legal right to sell them.

Buyers are responsible for performing due diligence. Before purchasing, verify the seller's identity, check vehicle history (if applicable), ask questions, and request additional information or photos.

The platform does not verify titles, ownership, or legality. It is your responsibility to verify that a vehicle has a clean title and that parts are authentic before completing a transaction.

Shipping & Delivery

The platform is not responsible for shipping, delivery, or logistics. All shipping arrangements are strictly between buyer and seller.

The platform does not guarantee delivery, condition on arrival, or carrier performance. Shipping damage, loss, or delays are not the platform's responsibility.

Resolve shipping issues directly with the seller or carrier. The platform does not mediate shipping disputes.

Condition, Accuracy & Disputes

The platform does not guarantee condition, compatibility, or accuracy of listings. Seller descriptions may be incomplete or inaccurate. It is your responsibility to verify all details before buying.

All disputes (condition, authenticity, compatibility, delivery, payment) are between buyer and seller. The platform does not mediate, arbitrate, or resolve disputes.

The platform does not assess returns, refunds, or exchanges. These are negotiated directly between buyer and seller.

Scope Clarification

Payment requests are a facilitation tool. They help sellers collect payments, but the platform is not a party to the transaction and does not guarantee, hold, or mediate funds.

Using the platform does not create a buyer-platform or seller-platform contract. Your relationship is directly with the other user.

The platform is a marketplace—not a retailer, lender, insurer, or mediator.

What You Must Do

  • Communicate clearly with the other party before and after transactions
  • Verify all details about items before purchasing
  • Ask questions—request photos, VINs, titles, or proof of authenticity
  • Resolve disputes directly with the seller
  • Document all communication and transactions
