Is there an age requirement to be a member of the Trending Dealers community?
You must be of legal age to be able to sign up as a buyer or seller on Trending Dealers.
The age requirement is set for a few security reasons:
- Security – we aim for a risk-free community and have placed age restrictions to avoid sudden transaction cancellations, payment failure, and fraudulent purchases.
- Payment Channels – all our payment channels require users to be at least 18 to register. Without access to any of them, you will not be able to purchase anything on Trending Dealers.
- Contract Laws – registering to platforms such as Trending Dealers will require you to enter a legally binding contract. Most contract laws do not allow minors to enter in legally binding agreements, thus, a registration cannot be completed legally.
If you are a minor and you wish to purchase something from Trending Dealers, you may seek assistance from someone of legal age such as your parents or guardians.
In the event of complaints due to minors using accounts on our marketplace, Trending Dealers will not be responsible for any refunds or returns from purchases made by minors under accounts that do not belong to them. It is the account holder’s responsibility to make sure they are knowledgeable of the purchases made using their accounts.
