Acceptance of terms: The Secret Stash Saturdays Giveaway (the “Giveaway”) is run by Trade Me Limited (“Trade Me”). Trade Me will be giving listers the chance to win one of three $1,000 ‘stashes’ which will be credited to each Winner’s Ping account (each a “Prize”). These terms and conditions (“Terms”) are between Trade Me and you. If you list an Eligible Item on Trade Me’s marketplace on a Promotion Day, you agree to the Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you cannot enter the Giveaway and you cannot win.
Promotion Period: The “Promotion Period” means the period starting at 12.00am on 12 May 2018 and ending at 11.59pm on 26 May 2018. At Trade Me’s absolute discretion, the Promotion Period may be extended. If Trade Me extends the Promotion Period, it will give reasonable notice of this via advertising and messaging on Trade Me’s marketplace and will update these Terms.
Promotion Day: There will be three “Promotion Days” (one per week, for three weeks) during the Promotion Period. These will be Saturday 12th, 19th, and 26th of May 2018.
Eligibility: To be eligible to win, you must:
List an item for sale on Trade Me’s general items marketplace (an “Eligible Item”) for your own personal use (and not for any organisation, business or other enterprise) on an eligible Promotion Day; and
be a casual member listing on your personal membership (and not a business or professional seller or an ‘in trade’ member); and
have an active Ping account; and
be a New Zealand citizen or resident aged 18 years or older.
Trade Me staff and their immediate families are not eligible to win a Prize. You may only win one Prize.
Exclusions: Trade Me reserves the right to redraw the Winner if a serious complaint or multiple complaints have been received about you from other members, if you breach our terms and conditions or code of conduct, or if we, at our sole discretion, deem your behaviour to be unacceptable. In addition, you will be excluded from the draw if you:
are prohibited or restricted from using the Trade Me site;
have a feedback rating lower than 98%;
have received formal warnings for breaches of our listings policies; and
have unresolved disputes or non-delivery complaints.
Trade Me’s general items marketplace: For the avoidance of doubt, Trade Me’s general items marketplace does not include: (i) vehicles or large machinery listed in the Business, Farming and Industry category; or (ii) items listed on Trade Me Motors, Trade Me Property or other similarly distinct areas of Trade Me’s marketplace.
How to win: Trade Me will preselect one membership on the Friday prior to each Promotion Day. If that membership satisfies the Eligibility criteria, and lists an Eligible Item on the Promotion Day immediately following the draw, they will win a Prize (each a “Winner”). Trade Me reserves the right to draw a new Winner for each Promotion Day if the preselected member does not participate in the Giveaway. You agree that Trade Me’s decision regarding the Winner is final.
Contacting Winners: Trade Me will contact each Winner on or before 5pm on the Monday after each Promotion Day (using the Winner’s contact details registered with their Trade Me membership) to let them know they have won a Prize. Contact may be made by email or phone (or both).
Winner announcements: If you are picked as a Winner, Trade Me may use your first name and location when announcing you as the Winner and in promotional material, such as on Trade Me’s website, in Trade Me’s emails, Trade Me’s Newsroom, and on social media.
Receiving the Prize: Trade Me will credit each Winner’s Ping account with the Prize by 5pm on the Monday following each Promotion Day. This credit can be used on the Trade Me site (where Ping transactions are supported), or can be withdrawn by the Winner as cash to the bank account registered to their Ping account.
Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trade Me shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury whatsoever suffered by you in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement (including but not limited to any direct, indirect, consequential, special, punitive or incidental loss or damages) and Trade Me’s liability to you will be limited to the value of the Prize. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify or negate a consumer's rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
Other terms: The Trade Me terms and conditions (as amended from time to time) apply with all necessary modification to this Agreement.
Privacy: Your information collected by Trade Me for the purposes of this Agreement is held and used by Trade Me subject to Trade Me’s privacy policy.
