Terms & Conditions
Effective date: 23-06-2025 · Last updated: 23-08-2025
Welcome to Trade2Cart. By booking a pickup or registering as a vendor, you agree to the terms below.
Our role as a platform
- Trade2Cart is a mediator between customers and vendors.
- We do not buy, sell, or collect scrap directly.
- All transactions, including payments, happen directly between the customer and the vendor at the time of pickup.
- We verify vendors before they receive orders, publish rates by location, and assign each booking to a vendor covering that area.
Customer responsibilities
- Provide accurate booking, contact and address details.
- Be available at the scheduled pickup time, or update the booking in advance.
- Only offer items you are legally entitled to sell.
- Once a booking is confirmed and a vendor has been assigned, cancellation may not be possible — see our cancellation policy.
Vendor responsibilities
- Vendors must pay the customer directly and in full at the time of pickup.
- Vendors must weigh items on a working digital scale, in front of the customer.
- Vendors must apply the rates published for the area and not renegotiate at the door.
- Vendors are responsible for settling platform commission on completed orders.
- Trade2Cart is not liable for delayed or failed payments by a vendor, though we will act on reports and remove vendors who do not meet our standards.
Rates and pricing
- Rates are location-specific and can change as the underlying scrap market moves.
- The rate applied is the one published for your area at the time of booking.
- The final amount is calculated from the weight measured at pickup.
Fees
- The pickup service is free for customers.
- Vendors pay a per-order platform commission for completed pickups.
Disputes and liability
- Disputes about weight, rate or payment should be raised with us at trade@trade2cart.in and are resolved between the customer and the vendor with our assistance.
- Because payment happens directly between the two parties, Trade2Cart is not a party to that transaction and is not liable for losses arising from it.
