Terms of use

Fencing Marketplace is part of the NearMe network and provides Australian classifieds for fencing materials, parts, wanted ads and the fencing contractors 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 materials, hold sale proceeds, perform installation work, issue pool barrier certificates, or guarantee condition, compatibility, licensing or that a pool fence meets AS 1926.1. Check the item, seller and proposed work before paying; our safety guide explains the practical checks.

Pool barriers must be certified, not assumed

Much of the pool fencing gear listed here forms part of a safety barrier once installed. Pool barrier compliance is certified by your council or a licensed pool safety inspector, never by a listing, seller statement or this platform. Gate automation and electric fence energisers are electrical work and must be installed by a licensed electrician. Nothing on the platform is engineering, building, structural or pool barrier compliance advice.

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, condition, known faults, inclusions and price. Do not claim that materials, a pool barrier or an installation are approved, certified, tested or compliant with AS 1926.1 unless you hold current evidence that applies to it. Fencing 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; 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 pool-safety and used-materials boundary.

Optional marketing

Marketing is not required to use the marketplace. At listing time you may separately opt in to relevant Fencing 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.
