Terms of Service
Last updated: April 5, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
Welcome to TacTrader ("TacTrader," "we," "us," or "our"). TacTrader is a community marketplace platform where members can list, discover, and trade pre-owned tactical gear and accessories. By accessing or using our website, services, or any associated features (collectively, the "Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and TacTrader. Your continued use of the Platform following any changes to these Terms signifies your acceptance of those changes.
2. Nature of the Platform
TacTrader operates as a peer-to-peer listing and community platform for tactical gear accessories. We provide a venue where registered members can post listings, communicate with other members, and arrange transactions for pre-owned tactical equipment.
It is important to understand that TacTrader does not broker, mediate, or participate in any transaction between users. We do not hold funds, process payments, provide escrow services, inspect items, or facilitate the physical exchange of goods. All dealings, including negotiation, payment, and shipping, occur directly between the buyer and seller. TacTrader is not a party to any transaction conducted through the Platform.
3. Eligibility & Account Registration
To use TacTrader, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
When registering for an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
TacTrader reserves the right to require identity verification at any time, including but not limited to verifying your age, identity, or location. Failure to comply with a verification request may result in the suspension or termination of your account.
4. Compliance with Laws
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform, including any items you list, purchase, sell, or trade, complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances. This includes, without limitation, laws governing the sale, transfer, possession, and shipping of tactical gear and accessories in your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of any other party involved in a transaction.
TacTrader does not provide legal advice and makes no representation that any particular item or transaction is lawful in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws that apply to you. Ignorance of applicable law is not a defense and does not excuse violations of these Terms.
