- You must list auctions and classifieds in New Zealand dollars and include GST in the price (except when listing commercial property for lease, which excludes GST). All tax obligations are the responsibility of the seller and/or the buyer (as the parties determine).
- You must not complete a transaction outside of the Equine Trader process or otherwise seek to avoid Equine Trader's success fees.

- Contracts for the sale of land must be in writing to be legally enforceable.
- You must not use the Services or the Website to promote items for sale outside the Services.
- You are responsible for any actions taken through your membership. Equine Trader memberships are not transferable and therefore can not be sold, leased, lent or traded.
Your obligations as a seller

You must list an item in one category only which must be the most appropriate category for your item.
- You will only place listings for items that exist and are to be sold. You will not list items that you are not legally entitled to sell or that are not in your possession. You will not sell or offer services. In the case of automobiles that are offshore or in transit to New Zealand you must be a registered motor vehicle trader and hold clear authority to sell such vehicles before being able to list them. You must also clearly indicate that such vehicles are offshore or in transit in the listing. Any land listed for sale must be in New Zealand.
- You must not list anything that is illegal, offensive (including anything of a defamatory, pornographic, or racially or ethnically objectionable nature), stolen, or unsafe, anything which infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights, items which have been illegally imported or which would require illegal import or export in order to complete the transaction, or any item of which the sale is prohibited by, or violates any, law. You are responsible for ensuring that any listing by you does not breach this clause 4.2(d). You agree that Equine Trader may disclose your personal information, including your name and contact details, to the relevant authorities, parties and/or the applicable intellectual property right holders (or their representatives) if we consider that you are in breach of this clause at any time.
- To protect your images, we will watermark with our logo any images you upload to your listings. You must ensure you hold the copyright or are otherwise licensed to use any images you add to your listings.
- When you list an item for auction on Equine Trader, you should do so with the intention of selling this item through the site. Therefore you should not advertise your item through another forum. If you remove a listing for an auction you will incur a non-refundable withdrawal fee, regardless of the reason.
- Equine Trader classifieds may be used by individuals or businesses to list specific items or jobs only and must not be used for multiple or generic item or job listings. You must not place multiple listings for a single item or job.
- Your listing may only contain a URL for a website that contains further information on the item you have listed. This website must not offer any items for sale, or contain contact details. You must not use Equine Trader listings to promote a business or website other than one for sale in your listing.

- You must not manipulate prices through ghost-bidding or assuming multiple roles in a single transaction.
- For auctions, you must sell to the highest bidder if the reserve price is met. You must only sell to a bidder who is not the highest bidder after reasonable attempts have been made to contact the winning bidder without success.
- For classifieds, you may choose to sell to any buyer at your discretion.
- Listings are not pre-screened for content. Equine Trader reserves the right to remove any listing that it deems unsuitable or in breach of the terms and conditions.

- The sale of films, videos, DVDs, VCDs and laser disks is covered by the Films, Videos and Publications Classification Act 1993. It is an offence to sell any of these items if they have not been examined and classified by the appropriate agencies. The offence carries a maximum penalty of $3,000 per publication. If any publication was sold, and deemed to be objectionable and where the seller knew the publication was objectionable, the maximum penalty consists of 10 year's imprisonment per publication. Therefore, when listing these items for sale, you must include within your listing, the New Zealand classification rating and all information on the classification label.
- The selling of firearms on Equine Trader is within the provisions of section 43A of the Arms Act 1983. It is an offence to sell by mail order a firearm or any ammunition for a firearm otherwise than pursuant to a written order signed by the purchaser and bearing an endorsement signed by a member of the Police stating that the member of Police has inspected the purchaser's firearms license and is satisfied that the purchaser is a fit and proper person to purchase that firearm or ammunition. Those selling firearms and ammunition should ensure that they sight documentation stating this, signed by a member of Police.
Those trading firearms or ammunition face to face should ensure that they sight the firearms license of the person they are trading with.
Equine Trader will only permit the sale of "A" category firearms, in sporting configuration, as defined by the Arms Act 1983. You are not permitted to sell firearms that require additional license endorsements to purchase.
If you are selling a car online by auction, you must attach to the motor vehicle, in a prominent position, a Consumer Information Notice (CIN). In particular, you must state on the CIN any security interest registered over the motor vehicle.
If you sell six or more vehicles in a year, you are likely to be a motor vehicle trader and must be registered. Motor Vehicle Traders selling cars online by auction must attach a CIN to their listing (e.g. through a photo) and provide the CIN to the successful buyer.
