TSKA work on behalf of our client base.

We work for our client base as advertisers and arrange the transaction for them on their behalf in many cases, but all responsibility for the species themselves rest with the owners - sellers/buyers.

Buyers must be a minimum of 18 years of age. This is a precedent laid down by TSKA Consultancy.

Buyers of animals covered by Dangerous Wild Animals' Licensing and Public Liability Insurance, must be able to produce copies of these for our clients, and will be asked by TSKA to verify that they are holding valid copies of both pieces of legislation. Some of the animals displayed in these lists require quarantining upon arrival in the United Kingdom.

We can offer assistance in the protocol and procedure behind self quarantine.

We do ask of all potential buyers to ensure that they are able to display within our questionnaires that they have taken a serious step in commitment towards the purchase of their exotic species. We do request that where a form is required to be completed that potential buyers please adhere to our request.

Failure to complete a form where requested will result in a termination of any sale.

Deposits are non refundable if the sale/purchase is cancelled.

Terms And Conditions of Sales

General Knowledge

Buyers should ensure that they have done their research on the species they are looking to purchase. Our forms do ask questions relevant to the buyers' research. Lack of research could very easily end your application.

We request each applicant to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by our questionnaire. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or TSKA has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, TSKA has the right to suspend or terminate the sale, transaction, purchase, cease supply and refuse you any and all current or future use of our services.

TSKA do endeavour to provide care guides but these are only to be used as a guide line, or as an initial stage into the study of your chosen species, many of the guides are written by our clients, and the style they have written it will reflect their own personal experiences of the husbandry of the species themselves. But we can not stress enough to potential buyers that they must do as much research as they can.

We provide the care guides as part of our consultancy service to you, the buyer/seller.

Age

All buyers must be a minimum of eighteen years of age [18]

Vet Checks

Buyers can request separate vet checks of species for sale should they so wish, clients will so oblige on behalf of the buyer, but this expense is to be covered by the proposed buyer and not the client or TSKA.

Ordering

When a buyer places an order for species for sale, the buyer must agree to the terms and conditions displayed below.

All buyers must be in a position to correctly house the species they seek to purchase.

In the case of species listed under The Dangerous Wild Animals' Licence, a copy of this will be required by our clients in addition to a copy of the buyers current Public Liability Insurance. TSKA will ask the buyer in the form of a screening form to acknowledge and agree to the holding of these documents.

Payment

In the case of TSKA Purchasing, payment options differ slightly:

Deposit Required

Where deposits are required by our clients from the buyers - this procedure is used as a display from buyer to seller that they are committed to the sale.

Deposits are accepted in the cases of

a] holding an animal until buyer is ready to fully secure from client

Should a buyer secure a deposit on a DWAL animal, in the attempt to secure whilst awaiting the outcome of their licensing procedure, and their applications are denied, this deposit will become non refundable.

Should a buyer change their mind upon the purchase of an animal they have secured a deposit upon, this deposit will become non refundable

b] to secure youngsters prior to them being born

This type of deposit can be refunded if projected youngsters have not become available, or the sex of a youngster required is not present

c] to ensure waiting list position is secured

Should a buyer change their mind upon the purchase of an animal they have secured a deposit upon, this deposit will become non refundable

TSKA client base is made up of professional and specialist keepers, who are in the main, strictly private individuals, their residencies are also private facilities and are not open to the general public for viewing.

TSKA believe in a professional keepers' privacy, however if the buyer is looking to make a sizeable investment in a species under Consultancy Services, then we do ask our clients to allow visitations to their premises for buyers to view the animal/s for sale. We believe this is the best approach in so far for the buyer to view the animals within their current enclosures and so the buyer/s are enabled a clear display of the animals normal behaviour.

However in order to minimize disturbance to the animals for sale and to reduce their stress we do therefore try to limit these visitations to genuinely interested and serious parties only.

Full Payment

If full payment is required by the client, TSKA will request this of the buyer in the form of pay pal, cheque or direct monetary transfer.

If full payment is required by the client, then TSKA will issue the buyer with a receipt of sale/proof of purchase.

Please note, should any cheques be issued to us as a business in payment for our services, and the cheques should be stopped or bounced, then TSKA will place a charge upon the party for this dis-service. Should this procedure result in ourselves being charged by our bank, then these charges will also be charged to the party.

Credit Charge

TSKA reserve the right to implement a 10% credit charge to all invoices unsettled within a period of 10 days.

Pricing

It must be noted that under instruction from our clients TSKA can change any listed price without prior written notification, subject to availability.

Delivery

TSKA clients may offer the buyer an additionally charged delivery on top of the asking price.

Some clients prefer to have the buyers' collect as they would like to meet the prospective buyer.

TSKA can recommend postcode to postcode collection and delivery services, via our own transport Gremlin Rides.

Guarantees

All species are guaranteed to arrive in 100% condition.

TSKA act as an advertiser only.

TSKA locate, secure and arrange species on behalf of buyers and sellers.

Clients who advertise within TSKA offer their own livestock guarantees.

[Advertisers]

Clients of TSKA: Guarantee all their animals to be healthy at the time of purchase, collection or pre-delivery.

It is the buyers responsibility to take care of the animal that they have purchased, the moment that they receive or collect.

Private clients of TSKA enter into private terms with each client/buyer. TSKA are not accountable for these private agreements unless notified.

A Noter: Should a problem arise after you have collected your animal, then we would suggest that you notify the client [seller] immediately, should you be unable to contact the client, then email us directly and we will notify the client on your behalf.

Licensing

TSKA can advise potential buyers on whether species are covered by Licensing or permits [article tens within the United Kingdom or import permits], but we can not and do not apply for these for the buyer. Our advertising will inform each browser at a glance whether species are covered by The Dangerous Wild Animals Licensing and Public Liability, as indeed do they display whether species covered by article tens have those present or not.

Our forms do request that you present copies of your licence numbers and public liability insurance id's for our viewing and this is done so that we can inform the client that the buyer/s are indeed covered by the right and correct legislation.

Please note that buyers should remember to bring with them during a purchase of a licensed animal, the copies if not originals of the licensing they are covered by to present to the client. Also a previous copy of a DWA licence is required in the case of some of the larger species.

European Locate & Purchase

TSKA do offer private individuals the ability to purchase direct from European zoo or game park surplus, through our International Sales.

In this procedure, private individuals employ TSKA to locate, arrange, secure species for them. In this service we are able to advise our buyers [clients] on what is available, and how to proceed to achieve success. We also advise our buyers on the protocol that surrounds the acquisition of International species, and this includes the routine followed in order to apply for self quarantine/quarantine regulations, licensing and direct import.

Consultancy/Client Agreement Terms & Conditions

This agreement is set to regulate the two parties, TSKA and clients [Buyers or Sellers]

When taking on board the services of TSKA: Exotic Species Consultancy Services, you as a client [Buyer/Seller] are committing yourselves to entrusting TSKA with your species or your requests.

TSKA look to work closely with our client base to ensure that all their needs are met with 100% satisfaction, but in order to achieve this, we do also require a certain amount of dedicated commitment from our clients.

Whilst we endeavour to ensure success, we can not always guarantee this in a limited period.

This agreement as such will focus primarily on the following:

An administration fee can/will be placed upon clients to TSKA should either a seller or a buyer pull from the sale/purchase.

If a buyer/seller should pull from the sale due to an unseen occurrence, then TSKA will place upon either party an Administration cost which will reflect the time that the Consultancy has spent in the process.

This administration fee is reflective upon the hours dedicated to the process itself. It is to take into account, time, phone calls and other aspects including legislation, administration and so on.

This fee is 20% of the value of the species in question.

Protection of Financial Arrangement

That should a client of TSKA agree to our terms and conditions of either securing a species or locating a buyer for a species then we as the designated consultant shall receive agreed payment for services tendered.

TSKA will ask of the advertiser or client in either the process of selling or securing species for them, an advanced payment to cover initial administrations costs. This is a small nominal fee which is either deducted at the end of a successful securement or sale from the total.

Should the seller or buyer of the species, secure on an individual basis their own requirement, this small administration fee is non refundable.

[It must be pointed out that if buyers or sellers do not take note of our requests and despite undertaking our services, buyer/seller should achieve results external to us, then TSKA: will place a charge upon those parties for our time.]

This charge in the case of sellers would be 25% of sales price of available species.

This figure in the case of buyers would be up to 25% of species looking to secure.

This fee covers our phone calls and the hours that we dedicate to the arranging of the sale/purchase

Advertising Agreement

In the quest of ensuring success for our clients we enlist and motivate many forms of advertising for said client, be this in the form of Direct Client Advertising, External Advertising and Internal Advertising.

Client Clauses

We do request that our clients once they have secured our services leave the task in hand with us.

This means that if we are advertising for you, then not to conflict with us, in so far as sellers, not to place additional advertising within the external market or indeed the internet market. Or as buyers, not to approach known sellers or even unknown sellers, as this may clash with negotiations that we may have in place whilst working on your behalf.
