Pre-Order Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: May 16, 2026

These Pre-Order Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern all pre-order listings, purchases, sales, and related transactions conducted through SmartTradeHunt.com (“Platform”, “Marketplace”, “SmartTradeHunt”, “we”, “our”, “us”).

By listing, purchasing, or participating in any pre-order transaction on SmartTradeHunt.com, sellers and buyers agree to these Terms together with all related marketplace policies, seller terms, refund policies, and applicable laws.

1. Definition of Pre-Order

A pre-order is an order placed for a product or item that is not immediately available for shipment at the time of purchase but is expected to become available at a future stated release, production, import, or fulfillment date.

Pre-orders may include:

• Upcoming product launches

• Manufacturer release items

• Limited edition products

• Custom-produced goods

• Imported inventory awaiting arrival

• Products pending restocking

• Reserved inventory allocations

A pre-order does not guarantee immediate delivery.

2. Seller Eligibility to Offer Pre-Orders

Only approved sellers in good standing may offer pre-order products.

To list pre-order items, sellers must:

• Maintain an active verified seller account

• Provide accurate expected fulfillment timelines

• Clearly disclose pre-order status

• Demonstrate ability to fulfill pre-orders

• Comply with all marketplace seller policies

• Maintain good performance standards

SmartTradeHunt reserves the right to approve, limit, suspend, or revoke pre-order selling privileges at its discretion.

• Specifications may change if officially updated by manufacturers

Buyers agree to review listing details carefully before purchasing.

6. Payment for Pre-Orders

Payment is generally collected at the time the pre-order is placed unless otherwise stated.

Funds may be subject to platform processing, escrow handling, or temporary holding according to marketplace payment procedures.

Payment collection secures the buyer’s reservation of the item where applicable.

7. Seller Fulfillment Obligations
