Plain-language terms for a plain-dealing exchange. This summary governs use of Srpls while the exchange operates in its founding phase.
Srpls, the Residual Materials Exchange, is a venue where verified Australian manufacturers list, discover and negotiate surplus raw materials and packaging. Srpls is not a party to any trade: it does not buy, sell, hold stock, hold funds or take commission.
Trading requires a verified membership. You warrant that the details you register, including your ABN, trading name and production connection, are accurate and stay accurate. We may decline or revoke membership where verification fails or these terms are breached.
Sellers warrant that every listing is accurate: the goods exist, they own them, and the batch number, quantities, dates, storage conditions and attached documents (CoA, SDS) are genuine and belong to the goods offered. Where a document is not available, the listing must say so.
Materials trade as-is, with documentation. The seller warrants the documents are genuine and the goods match them. The buyer is responsible for judging fitness for purpose from the documentation and their own quality process, as they would when qualifying any supplier.
An accepted offer forms an agreement to trade directly between buyer and seller at the accepted price. Settlement, including payment, freight, insurance and transfer of title, occurs between the two businesses, on terms they agree between themselves.
Prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST unless a listing states otherwise. Each party is responsible for its own tax treatment and invoicing.
Members are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to their goods, including transport of dangerous goods, therapeutic and food standards, and any licensing their industry requires.
To the extent permitted by law, Srpls excludes liability for the conduct of members and the quality of goods traded. Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
Trade disputes are between the trading parties. Report conduct that breaches these terms to hello@srpls.com.au; we investigate and may suspend accounts while we do.
Questions about these terms: hello@srpls.com.au. See also our privacy policy.
