CoralBay

Terms of Use

Last updated: 17 June 2026 · Version 2026-06-17

1. Role of the platform

CoralBay is a software marketplace that displays offers made available by third-party exporters/breeders worldwide and facilitates orders between businesses. CoralBay does not buy, own, import, export, store, pack or ship any animals or goods and is not a party to the trade contracts concluded between users. The platform only shows what the global market offers.

2. Responsibility of the seller / exporter

The exporter/breeder is solely responsible for everything it offers and ships — including species, quantity, identification, health and condition of the animals, packaging, export clearance, CITES export documents and veterinary and animal-welfare requirements in the country of origin. CoralBay has no control over and no involvement in what is offered or shipped.

3. Responsibility of the buyer / importer

The buyer/importer is solely responsible for everything it orders and imports — including import permits, CITES import/re-export documents, veterinary and customs clearance, taxes and animal-welfare requirements in the destination country.

4. Species, CITES and quota information

Species classifications, CITES status, import bans and export-quota figures shown on the platform are indicative only and drawn from third-party sources on a best-effort basis. They may be incomplete, outdated or wrong, do not constitute legal advice and do not replace official permits or authority decisions. Quota figures are a non-binding orientation; the fact that an item is shown as available is no guarantee that an export or import is lawful.

5. User warranties

Each user warrants that it acts as a business in its trade, holds all permits and licences required for its role, and complies with all applicable laws (CITES / species protection, veterinary, customs, animal welfare, tax). The platform must not be used for unlawful trade.

6. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, CoralBay is not liable for the conduct of users, for the lawfulness, availability, quality, identification, health, transport or death of animals, for the accuracy of third-party data, or for any resulting damages. CoralBay is liable only for intent and gross negligence and for mandatory statutory liability. The platform is provided "as is" without warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation.

7. Indemnification

Users shall indemnify and hold CoralBay harmless from any third-party claims, fines or costs arising from their offers, orders, shipments or any breach of law or of these Terms.

8. Prices and fees

Displayed prices are the final prices payable to the respective seller and may include platform and image fees. Margins and fees of upstream parties are not disclosed.

9. Data protection, changes, governing law

Personal data is processed under the separate privacy notice. CoralBay may update these Terms; continued use after a new version requires renewed acceptance. Governing law and place of jurisdiction are those of the operator's registered seat (to be completed by the operator).
