Seller Responsibilities
Animal.my assumes no responsibility and accepts no liability for verifying ownership of items before they are listed. Sellers are solely responsible for confirming ownership status and securing any necessary legal agreements from all relevant parties, including lienholders, prior to listing an item. This applies regardless of whether the item is being sold in part, in whole, or for its services or products.
When a seller lists an item in animal.my, they acknowledge that they have reviewed and understand all listing details before posting. This includes, but is not limited to, the item’s category, description and price. Sellers must carefully verify these details before clicking the “Submit Listing” button.
Buyer Responsibilities
Buyers using animal.my are expected to act in good faith and to fulfill their responsibilities when engaging with sellers or participating in transactions. By using this site, buyers agree to the following:

Compliance with Payment Terms: Buyers agree to comply with all payment terms as specified by the seller, including adhering to deadlines and payment methods.
Communication: Buyers should communicate respectfully and professionally with sellers. Any inquiries should be related to the item listed and not used for solicitation or unrelated purposes.
Acknowledgment of Risks: Buyers understand that animal.my does not guarantee the accuracy of seller-provided information and that all transactions are conducted at their own risk. Buyers should take necessary precautions, such as verifying item ownership or authenticity when applicable.
Business Identity
Members are required to list their business name in a manner consistent with its legally registered name or DBA (“Doing Business As”). Members are prohibited from adding or altering characters, symbols, or spaces in their business name to manipulate its position in search results, disguise the business identity, or infringe upon the legal identity of another business or individual.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to edit a business name that does not align with content uploaded to the member’s account, such as their logo, contact information, or other provided details. In the event of a dispute regarding the use of a name deemed inconsistent with other representations of the business, proof of legal business registration may be requested for review and verification.
