New York State Disclosures
Version 1.0 · Effective August 15, 2026 · Governed by the laws of the State of New York
Document ID ny-disclosures@v1.0. The version in force at the time of your purchase is recorded with your order.
TruVault Market is operated from Long Island, New York. These are the state-specific disclosures that apply to transactions on the platform.
Sales tax
Under New York Tax Law § 1101(e), a marketplace operator that facilitates sales and collects payment may be a marketplace provider responsible for collecting and remitting New York State and local sales tax on taxable sales delivered into New York. TruVault Market provides tools that allow sellers to configure tax rates and collect tax at checkout. Sellers are responsible for verifying their tax status, keeping rates accurate, and remitting any tax collected to the appropriate authorities.
Escrow and money transmission
TruVault Market never holds, transmits or takes custody of buyer or seller funds. All funds move through an independent licensed escrow provider, so TruVault Market does not act as a money transmitter under New York Banking Law Article 13-B.
Refund policy posting
Our refund and cancellation policy is posted conspicuously before purchase as required by New York General Business Law § 218-a, and is repeated at checkout and on each order page.
Truthful advertising and authenticity
Listings must comply with New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350. Counterfeit goods are prohibited; trafficking in counterfeit goods is a crime under New York Penal Law Article 165. We do not use the word "authenticated" unless an authentication actually occurred, and we identify who performed it.
High-volume seller verification (INFORM Consumers Act)
Sellers who reach the federal high-volume threshold must provide and keep current a bank account, contact information, tax identification number and government ID for verification. Consumers can request seller contact information for applicable purchases through support@truvaultmarket.com.
Pre-owned goods and dealer licensing
Individuals selling their own personal property are not secondhand dealers. Sellers who deal in secondhand goods as a business may need a secondhand dealer license from their New York county or municipality (for example, Nassau or Suffolk County) and are responsible for obtaining it.
Data security and breach notice
We follow the New York SHIELD Act safeguards described in our Privacy Policy and will give notice under GBL § 899-aa if private information is compromised.
Accessibility
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA so the platform is usable under the New York State Human Rights Law and the ADA. Report an accessibility barrier to support@truvaultmarket.com and we will respond promptly.
Governing law
New York law governs all transactions, with venue in Nassau or Suffolk County, New York.
