Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: April 16, 2026 · Trade Master LLC · Phoenix, AZ
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of q-4u.com and any orders placed through Trade Master LLC ("Trade Master," "we," "us," or "our"). By placing an order or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
1. Service Description
Trade Master operates an aggregate material delivery platform serving the Metro Phoenix, Arizona area. We coordinate the delivery of bulk materials — including road base, decomposed granite, rock, sand, and similar aggregate products — from quarry and supply sources to customer-specified delivery addresses. Trade Master acts as the delivery coordinator and is not the manufacturer or producer of materials.
2. Orders, Pricing, and Payment Authorization
- All pricing is calculated at the time of estimate and is valid for the session in which it is generated. Estimates are subject to change due to fuel surcharge fluctuations, pricing updates, or availability changes.
- When you submit an order, your payment card is authorized (a hold is placed) but not charged. Your card is charged only when dispatch confirms the order and the truck is loaded for delivery.
- The authorized amount is the maximum you will be charged. Final charges will not exceed the authorized total shown at checkout.
- All prices are in U.S. dollars and include applicable material, delivery, and fee components as itemized at checkout.
3. Fees and Surcharges
- Delivery fee: Calculated based on distance from quarry source to delivery address, truck operating costs, and applicable margins. Shown at checkout.
- Fuel surcharge: A fuel surcharge is applied to deliveries based on current diesel fuel index rates (EIA PADD 5 index), updated weekly. The surcharge rate is shown in the pricing breakdown at checkout and in your order confirmation email.
- Saturday surcharge: A surcharge of $39 applies to deliveries scheduled on Saturdays. This surcharge is disclosed at checkout when a Saturday delivery date is selected.
- Small load fee: Orders below a minimum tonnage threshold may incur a small load fee, shown at checkout.
- Extended range fee: Deliveries to addresses beyond standard service zones may incur an extended range fee, shown at checkout.
- Tax: Applicable transaction privilege tax (TPT) is calculated and shown at checkout based on the delivery address jurisdiction.
4. Material Quantity and Weight Variance
Aggregate materials are bulk commodities. Delivered quantities may vary by up to ±10% from the ordered amount due to natural variation in material density, quarry loading practices, and truck payload limits. Trade Master does not guarantee exact tonnage. If the delivered quantity is materially less than ordered, contact dispatch within 24 hours of delivery for resolution.
5. Delivery Windows and Scheduling
- Delivery windows (Morning, Midday, Afternoon) are estimates. Actual delivery times may vary due to route conditions, truck availability, quarry operating hours, weather, or other operational factors.
- Trade Master will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material scheduling changes via SMS or phone.
- Delivery is to a curbside or accessible drop location at the delivery address. We do not deliver inside gates, structures, or locations inaccessible to a standard dump truck.
- Customer is responsible for ensuring the delivery site is accessible, safe, and capable of supporting a loaded commercial vehicle. Trade Master is not liable for damage to driveways, landscaping, utilities, or other property resulting from delivery.
- If access is unavailable at the time of delivery and the driver cannot complete the run, a trip charge may apply.
6. Cancellations and Refunds
- You may cancel an order at no charge before dispatch confirms the delivery (before the card is captured).
- Once the order is confirmed by dispatch and the truck is loaded, cancellation is not available and the full authorized amount will be captured.
- If Trade Master is unable to fulfill a confirmed order due to operational failure, a full refund of any captured amount will be issued within 5–7 business days.
- Refunds for partial delivery shortfalls are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact [email protected] within 24 hours of delivery.
- Card authorization holds that do not result in a captured charge will be released automatically per your card issuer's standard hold period (typically 5–7 business days).

In such cases, Trade Master will notify you and either reschedule or cancel the order with a full refund.
