The Parrot House – Selling & Sales Terms
1. Selling Through The Parrot House
By choosing The Parrot House to sell your parrot, you authorise us to advertise, promote, and manage the sale on your behalf.
2. Commission
A fixed 20% commission is taken from the final sale price. The remaining balance is paid to you once the sale is completed.
3. Accuracy of Information
You agree that all information you provide about your parrot—age, species, health, behaviour, and ownership—is accurate and truthful. Any false or missing information may result in refusal of sale.
4. Ownership Confirmation
You must be the legal owner of the parrot or have full written permission from the legal owner to sell the bird through us.
5. Pricing & Negotiation
We will help determine a fair market price. Unless stated otherwise, The Parrot House may negotiate reasonable offers to secure a successful sale.
6. Marketing & Advertising
You allow The Parrot House to take photos, create descriptions, and advertise your parrot across our platforms, including our website and social media.
7. Payment Terms
Payments are issued within 7–14 working days after the sale is finalised. Payments are made via bank transfer unless another method is agreed in advance.
8. Withdrawal From Sale
You may withdraw your parrot at any time. If marketing work has already been completed, a small admin fee (up to £50) may be charged.
9. Parrot Welfare
If your parrot becomes ill, distressed, or shows unsafe behaviour, we may temporarily pause or permanently remove the listing until suitable clearance is provided.
10. No Guarantee of Sale
While we take all reasonable steps to advertise and promote your parrot, The Parrot House cannot guarantee how quickly a parrot will sell or that it will sell at all.
11. Liability
The Parrot House is not responsible for unforeseen health issues, behavioural changes, or any misrepresentation provided by the owner.
12. Acceptance of Terms
By submitting your parrot for sale, you agree to these Selling & Sales Terms and confirm your acceptance of The Parrot House’s Commissioned Sales Policy.
13. Optional Bird Care During Selling Period
If you choose for The Parrot House to look after your parrot during the selling period, additional costs will apply. These costs cover food, housing, enrichment, welfare checks, and general day-to-day care. Charges are ongoing and will depend on how long your bird remains with us before being sold. If you wish to use this service, all care arrangements and fees will be discussed and agreed with you in advance. All care fees must be paid in full before the final balance is issued to you.
