EXORA APPLICATION TERMS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These terms apply when a breder, producer, retailer or other business submits an application to join the Exora network.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
By submitting an application you agree to be bound by these terms and our Privacy Notice.
1. PURPOSE OF THE APPLICATION
Submitting an application allows Exora to assess whether an applicant may be suitable to become an approved breeder, producer, supplier, retailer, stockist or other trade partner.
Submitting an application does not guarantee:
-
acceptance into the Exora network
-
access to the Exora trade portal
-
any orders, sales, income or commercial opportunities
-
the purchase or listing of any livestock
-
any exclusive rights or territory
An application does not create a partnership, franchise, agency, employment relationship, supply agreement or other binding commercial relationship.
Successful applicants may be required to accept a separate Producer Agreement, Supply Agreement, Trade Account Terms or other commercial agreement before trading through Exora.
6. APPLICATION DECISIONS
Exora may, at its discretion:
-
approve an application
-
approve it subject to conditions
-
request further information
-
place it on hold
-
reject it
-
withdraw approval before trading begins
Decisions may take account of Exora’s standards, available capacity, product requirements, geographical coverage and commercial needs.
Exora is not required to approve an applicant merely because they satisfy certain minimum requirements and is not obliged to provide detailed reasons for its decision.
Approval of a breeder or producer does not mean that every animal they produce or offer will automatically be approved by Exora.

4. ANIMAL WELFARE & STANDARDS
​​​
Any animal proposed for supply, listing or sale through Exora must be captive-bred unless Exora has expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
Applicants must not knowingly misrepresent:

Where claims concerning genetics, lineage, locality or breeder identity are made, the applicant must retain reasonable supporting records.

Exora may refuse or remove any animal where there are concerns regarding its welfare, health, legality, traceability, quality or suitability.
5. LICENCES, COMPLIANCE AND INSURANCE
Each applicant is solely responsible for identifying, obtaining and maintaining every licence, registration, permission, certificate, transporter authorisation and insurance policy required for their own activities.
Applicants must provide evidence of compliance when reasonably requested.
Approval by Exora:
-
is not regulatory or veterinary approval

does not transfer the applicant’s legal responsibilities to Exora
