Terms of use

Roofing Marketplace is part of the NearMe network and provides Australian classifieds for roofing materials, parts, wanted ads and the roofers and trade businesses who sell and service them. By creating an account or using the site you agree to these terms.

The marketplace is a venue

Sellers create listings and buyers deal with them directly. We do not own, inspect, test or certify listed material, hold sale proceeds, perform installation work, issue certificates of compliance, or guarantee condition, compatibility, licensing or that an item is free of asbestos. Check the item, seller and proposed work before paying; our safety guide explains the practical checks.

Installation is licensed-roofer work, and asbestos may never be listed

Roof work at height is licensed roofing or roof plumbing work in every state. Buying a material on this site does not entitle you to install or connect it yourself where a licensed trade is legally required. Pre-1990 asbestos cement roofing may not be listed, sold or given away here under any circumstances; see our listing rules. Nothing on the platform is roofing advice, a design, or authority to carry out licensed work.

Accounts and seller identity

You need an account to list or message sellers. Keep your login secure and provide accurate details. A business seller who displays a trading name must be entitled to use the supplied ABN. Account setup checks format and duplicate use; it is not an independent ABR, licence or ownership verification. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the listing rules.

Listings, services and safety claims

Describe the exact material, profile, colour, condition, known faults, inclusions and price. Do not claim that material or an installation is approved, certified, tested, compliant or asbestos-free unless you hold current evidence that applies to it. Roofing contractors and service providers are responsible for every registration, licence, permit, insurance and safety duty required for the work they advertise. We may remove a listing or request supporting evidence.

Plans, boosts and payments to us

Free Private includes up to five active ads. Private Seller Plus is A$14.95 per month including GST for up to 25 active ads and the stated private-seller tools. Business seller accounts are unlimited and free at launch. A featured boost is A$9.95 for 30 days. There is no paid repost product. A paid benefit starts only after Stripe confirms successful payment. If Plus renewal fails, paid capacity and tools pause; a failed boost payment never starts or extends a boost. Refund rights under Australian Consumer Law remain.

Buyer and seller rights

Australian Consumer Law can apply differently to a business sale and a one-off private sale. A business seller must not mislead buyers and may owe consumer guarantees. Private sales do not usually carry most consumer guarantees, although title, undisturbed possession and no hidden debts still matter. Nothing in these terms removes a right that the law says cannot be removed.

Acceptable use

Do not list unlawful, stolen, counterfeit, recalled or prohibited items (including any asbestos-containing material); mislead users; harvest personal details; interfere with the service; or use messages for anything unrelated to a genuine marketplace enquiry. See the listing rules for the asbestos and used-material boundary.

Optional marketing

Marketing is not required to use the marketplace. At listing time you may separately opt in to relevant Roofing Marketplace and NearMe Ads network marketing by email and/or SMS. Service and account messages are not marketing. You can withdraw either consent from Account preferences; a network opt-out always takes priority.

Your content

You own the photos and text you post and license us to display them to run and promote the marketplace. Only post content you have the right to use.

Liability

Nothing here excludes Australian Consumer Law rights. Beyond what applicable law requires, we provide the platform as is and are not liable for a buyer's or seller's acts, an item, installation, service, message or direct transaction.
