About the service
Ants Online is an Australian community marketplace and noticeboard. It lets members publish listings and contact each other. Ants Online is not the seller, buyer, breeder, shipper, payment provider, escrow service or agent in a member transaction.
Who may use Ants Online
You must be at least 18 years old and located in Australia to create an account, publish a listing or use Ants Online to arrange a transaction. The marketplace is for Australian listings and Australian transactions only. Do not use it to arrange international imports, exports or overseas transactions.
You must provide an email address you control, keep access to it secure and take responsibility for activity through your account. Do not impersonate another person, create accounts to evade moderation or collect member information without permission.
Listings and member content
Listings must be accurate, current, lawful and relevant to the marketplace. You must have the right to offer the animal or item and to use the words and images you submit. Do not post scams, misleading claims, prohibited animals or items, dangerous instructions, unlawful collection or movement, harassment, or content that infringes another person's rights.
You keep ownership of your content. You give Ants Online permission to store, display, format and moderate it as reasonably needed to operate and promote the marketplace. You can archive your own listing at any time.
Transactions are between members and at their own risk
An email-verification badge confirms control of an email address only. It is not proof of identity, reputation, legal ownership, species, condition, health, safety or trustworthiness.
Buyers and sellers decide whether to proceed and do so at their own risk. Each member is responsible for checking the other party, the animal or item, price, payment method, condition, species, legal ownership, permits, wildlife and biosecurity rules, animal welfare, packaging, shipping and handover arrangements.
Ants Online does not handle payment or guarantee any transaction. Scams, non-delivery, misdescription, loss, damage and other disputes are matters between the members involved. Ants Online may accept a report or assist with moderation, but does not promise to investigate, recover money, replace an item or resolve a dispute.
Moderation and availability
Listings are generally published without pre-approval. Ants Online may review, reject, archive or remove content after a report or when reasonably needed, restrict or close accounts, and preserve relevant records to protect the service or community. The absence of moderation is not an endorsement or a guarantee that content is accurate or safe. The service may change, be interrupted or stop operating.
Liability and rights that cannot be excluded
Ants Online is provided as a free community service on an “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ants Online is not responsible for loss arising from member content, contact or transactions, including scams, payment loss, non-delivery, animal injury or death, unlawful movement, or reliance on a listing.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including any applicable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Questions or concerns
See the privacy policy for information about personal data. Use the private contact form for a question about these terms, or the report control on a listing or message for a marketplace concern.
