Terms of Service

Last updated: May 15, 2026

By joining the Swapz waitlist or using the Swapz app, you agree to these terms. Please read them — they're written in plain English.

Who can use Swapz

Swapz is exclusively for current UCSD students. You must sign up with a valid @ucsd.edu email address. By creating an account, you confirm you are a current UCSD student aged 18 or older.

What Swapz is

Swapz is a peer-to-peer marketplace that lets UCSD students list, discover, and exchange secondhand clothing on campus. We are a platform — we are not a party to any transaction between users.

Your responsibilities

• List only items you actually own and have the right to sell or swap.
• Accurately describe your items — condition, size, and any defects.
• Be honest and respectful in all communications with other users.
• Meet in safe, public locations on campus for exchanges.
• Do not list counterfeit, stolen, or prohibited items.
• Do not harass, scam, or mislead other users.

Prohibited items

The following may not be listed on Swapz:

• Counterfeit or replica goods
• Items that are stolen or obtained illegally
• Weapons, drugs, or any illegal items
• Underwear, swimwear, or items that cannot be safely resold for hygiene reasons
• Non-clothing items (unless explicitly permitted by Swapz)

Transactions

All exchanges happen in person on campus. Swapz does not process payments and is not responsible for the outcome of any transaction. If you have a dispute with another user, we encourage you to resolve it directly. Repeated bad-faith behaviour may result in account suspension.

Account suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in fraudulent behaviour, or harm other users or the Swapz community.

Disclaimer

Swapz is provided "as is" by a student team. We make no guarantees about uptime, the accuracy of listings, or the outcome of exchanges. Use Swapz at your own discretion.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the app evolves. Continued use of Swapz after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
