Security & Verification Statement
This page protects you around licences, insurance and ABN verification, which is one of the biggest risks for a trades platform.
Security & Verification Statement
Our Commitment
Local Tradez is committed to creating a safe, professional and transparent environment for homeowners and contractors.
To help build trust within the platform, contractors may be asked to provide business information during registration and onboarding.
This may include:
- ABN details
- Business information
- Licence information
- Insurance information
- Trade categories
- Service areas
- Contact details
Contractor Information
Local Tradez may collect and display contractor information to assist homeowners when selecting service providers.
This information is provided by the contractor and may be updated from time to time.
While Local Tradez may request supporting documentation, Local Tradez does not guarantee, certify or warrant:
- the accuracy of information provided
- the validity of licences
- the validity of insurance policies
- ongoing compliance with laws or regulations
- contractor suitability
Independent Verification
Homeowners and users remain solely responsible for conducting their own independent due diligence before engaging any contractor.
This includes independently verifying:
- licences
- insurance policies
- qualifications
- registrations
- references
- suitability for the intended works
Users should not rely solely on information displayed within the platform.
Contractor Obligations
Contractors using Local Tradez agree that they are responsible for:
- maintaining current licences
- maintaining current insurance
- complying with legal obligations
- updating information when circumstances change
- ensuring information provided remains accurate
Failure to maintain accurate information may result in suspension or removal from the platform.
No Endorsement
The presence of a contractor on the Local Tradez platform does not constitute:
- an endorsement
- a recommendation
- a guarantee
- a certification
- an approval
by Local Tradez.
Users remain responsible for making their own decisions regarding contractor engagement.
Fraud Prevention
Local Tradez reserves the right to:
- request additional information
- review submitted documentation
- suspend accounts
- remove accounts
- investigate suspicious activity
where reasonably necessary to protect the platform and its users.
Our Philosophy
Local Tradez exists to improve:
- communication
- workflow
- project management
- information sharing
between homeowners and contractors.
Local Tradez is a workflow and communication platform, not a licensing authority, insurer, certifier or regulator.
