Terms of Service

Welcome to The Local Flea, the easiest way to buy pre-loved items!

This The Local Flea Terms of Service (this "TOS") governs your use of our The Local Flea websites, applications, products and services, and your purchase thereon (the "Services"). By using and accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by and comply with this TOS.

For purposes of this TOS "you" shall mean either you as an individual or the entity or person on whose behalf you are accepting this TOS. You represent that you are authorized to accept this TOS.

If you purchase any items (each an "item") using the Service:

  • You agree to pay the amount listed and any other disclosed amounts, such as taxes, duties, costs and expenses.
  • You agree that The Local Flea can automatically charge your credit card during the purchase process. All amounts are in US Dollars only.

To ensure your buying experience is exceptional, The Local Flea offers a Return Policy. Except for the Return Policy, all fees and charges are nonrefundable.

We use several methods to determine the resale price of an item. However, we are not experts and thus we strongly recommend that you do your own research to determine the value of an item.

While we do our best to give you accurate listing information, we cannot guarantee that the listing is 100% accurate and likewise cannot guarantee the authenticity of any item.
