The process of ordering from Trade Bargains works as follows:
- You browse our website and add products to your shopping cart
- You proceed to checkout and enter your billing and delivery information
- You select your payment method and agree to these Terms and Conditions
- You review your order summary and click "Place Order" or equivalent button

Your order confirmation email will contain your order number, the products ordered, the total price including all applicable taxes and fees, and estimated delivery timeframe. Please save this email for your records.
3.2 Right to Refuse or Cancel Orders
We reserve the absolute right to decline, refuse, or cancel any order at any time before we dispatch the goods, for any reason including but not limited to:
- Suspected fraud or unauthorised use of a payment method
- Pricing errors or system errors in the order
- Product out of stock or unavailable
- Delivery address is in a region we do not serve
- Violation of our terms or any applicable law
If we cancel your order, you will be notified by email immediately, and we will issue a full refund to your original payment method within 5 business days. No further liability will apply.
Pricing, Payment, and Taxes
4.1 Pricing and Currency
All prices displayed on our website are shown in your selected currency (USD, EUR, GBP, INR, or other as available). Prices include all applicable product costs. Additional charges such as shipping taxes or duties may be applied at checkout and will be clearly displayed before you complete payment.
We reserve the right to change prices at any time. Price changes apply only to new orders placed after the change is posted. Prices confirmed in your order confirmation email are locked and will not change.
4.2 Accepted Payment Methods
We accept payment through the following methods:
- Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit and debit cards (processed via Stripe)
- PayPal
- Apple Pay and Google Pay (where available in your region)
All payment transactions are processed securely through our certified payment processors. Your card details are never stored on our servers. Payment is taken from your account at the time you complete your order, and your payment method will be charged the full order total including all applicable taxes.
4.3 Taxes and Duties
Product prices are shown either inclusive or exclusive of tax depending on your location. At checkout, we calculate and display any applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar consumption tax based on your billing or delivery address. This calculated tax is included in the order total and collected at the time of payment.
For international orders: Import duties, customs fees, and local taxes imposed by your country's customs authority are not included in the displayed price or checkout total. These are the buyer's sole responsibility and will be collected by the carrier or customs authority upon delivery. We strongly recommend checking with your local customs office before ordering to understand what duties may apply to your shipment.
Google Merchant Center Transparency (Sept 2025)
In compliance with Google Merchant Center requirements effective September 2025, we confirm that: (1) all fees are fully disclosed at checkout before payment, (2) no additional fees are added after payment is processed, and (3) import duties for international orders are disclosed as the buyer's responsibility in this section.

Android App — App-Specific Terms
Installation & Permissions
By installing and using the Trade Bargains Android app, you agree to these Terms in addition to any applicable Google Play Store terms. The app requires certain device permissions to function. Permissions marked optional in our Privacy Policy do not affect core app functionality. Refusing permissions limits specific features only.
Purchases & Pricing
All purchases made through the app are subject to the same Terms and Conditions as web purchases — including pricing, payment, returns, and refund policies set out in these Terms. Prices displayed in the app may occasionally differ from the website due to regional currency conversion timing; the price at the point of checkout confirmation is the binding price.
Push Notifications
Push notifications are optional. You may enable or disable them at any time in your device notification settings or within the app under Settings → Notifications. We will not share your push notification token with third-party advertising networks.
App Updates
We may release updates to the app that are required for continued access to all features, including security patches. We will provide reasonable notice of significant updates via in-app notification. Declining to install a required update may disable certain features or, in the case of critical security updates, access to the app altogether.
Offline Functionality
Some app features are available offline using locally cached data. Prices, stock levels, and product information displayed while offline may not reflect real-time availability. When your connection is restored, the app syncs automatically. We guarantee data consistency for completed orders but not for browsing data displayed during offline sessions.
Account Deletion & App Data
Uninstalling the app removes locally cached data from your device but does not delete your Trade Bargains account or order history from our servers. To delete your account and all associated personal data, use Settings → Privacy → Delete Account in the app, the equivalent option in My Account on the website, or contact us at admin@trade.bargains. Account deletion is processed within 30 days, subject to legal data retention requirements (e.g. order records retained for 7 years for tax compliance).
Google Play Store
Your use of the Trade Bargains app is also subject to the Google Play Store Terms of Service and Google Play Developer Policy. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Google Play policies, Google Play policies take precedence for app-specific matters.
