Terms of Service
Last updated: 6 October 2026
These terms govern your use of the TrustedTrades platform operated by TrustedTrades. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms.
1. The platform
TrustedTrades is a marketplace that connects clients with electricians and plumbers. We facilitate introductions, messaging, bookings, and reviews, but we are not a party to the work agreement between a client and a tradesman and do not perform the work ourselves.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and provide accurate information. You are responsible for activity on your account. Tradesmen must complete certification verification before their profile is listed.
3. Payments
Clients pay tradesmen directly. TrustedTrades is not a party to the payment, does not hold or process job payments, and charges no commission. The price, how and when payment is made, and the work itself are agreed between the client and the tradesman.
TrustedTrades may introduce optional paid features for tradesmen in future. If we do, we will update these terms before charging anything.
4. Acceptable use
- Do not post false, misleading, or fraudulent information or reviews.
- Do not impersonate others or create fake accounts.
- Do not use the platform for unlawful purposes or to harass other users.
- Do not attempt to bypass security, scrape data, or abuse the SMS or messaging features.
We may suspend or remove accounts that breach these terms.
5. Reviews
Reviews must reflect genuine experiences. We may remove reviews that are fraudulent, defamatory, or violate these terms.
6. Liability
The platform is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, TrustedTrades is not liable for the quality, safety, or legality of work performed by tradesmen, and our liability for any claim is limited as set out in applicable law.
7. Privacy
Our handling of your personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes and contact
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the platform. Questions? Contact us at trustedtrades.za@gmail.com.
