Find Ads
Your email address and name will be automatically provided to an advertiser when you respond to an Ad (but you may elect to hide your name if you wish). We recommend that you do not give your address or phone number when responding to an Ad until you are sure of the identity of the advertiser.

If you purchase any goods or services from an advertiser or a person or a business listed under Businesses or Great Websites, then your contract in respect of those goods or services is with the advertiser, person or business and neither We nor any school or university or other member of the relevant school or university community will accept liability for any problems you may encounter with the goods, services or the advertiser. However, if you do experience problems, please let Us know by contacting adwatch@schoolstrader.com - this will help Us maintain Our quality control.

General
We recommend that you take normal precautions when placing an Ad or responding to an Ad, and when buying or selling goods or services. Young users aged 15 to 18 should take particular care when advertising items for sale that they have their parents' permission where appropriate, and that their parents are aware that they are using the site and may buy/sell items. They should also be very careful if they arrange to meet a buyer/seller/person through the site and make sure that their parents are aware and join any meeting.

Hiring People

We recommend that all users/members take great care when hiring anyone to work for them (eg. in their homes or businesses), particularly with children. We do not check the bona fides of advertisers and We strongly recommend that you take a number of references from a reliable source on each person you are considering hiring. Our Terms on the website are clear. In summary, We are not responsible for and do not accept any liability for the accuracy of any ad.  If you purchase any services from an advertiser or person, then your contract in respect of those services is with the advertiser or person and neither Schoolstrader nor any school or university or other member of the relevant school or university community will accept liability for any problems you may encounter with the person, goods, services or advertiser.
