About this agreement

These Terms govern your use of Fast Aquatics ("the Platform"), a property of Fast Aquatics ("Fast Aquatics", "we", "us"). By creating an account, listing a product, placing an order, or browsing, you accept these Terms.

What Fast Aquatics is

Fast Aquatics is a multi-vendor marketplace. We provide the platform; vendors list and fulfill products. Fast Aquatics is a marketplace facilitator under applicable state law and is responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax in jurisdictions where we have economic nexus.

Fast Aquatics does not own inventory, ship products, or carry product liability for vendor offerings (subject to applicable consumer protection law). The vendor is the merchant of record on each transaction.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or place an order. Wholesale accounts require valid business documentation (resale certificate, EIN, business license). Vendors must complete identity verification, packing certification, and execute the Vendor Agreement before listing.

Account responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining your account credentials. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access. We may suspend accounts engaged in fraud, repeated chargebacks, harassment, or violations of these Terms.

Buyer Protection & claims

Live Arrival is governed by our Buyer Protection Policy. By placing an order you accept the reporting windows, photo evidence requirements, and dispute resolution process documented there.

Living Guarantee: Coverage Terms & Premiums

The Living Guarantee is an optional, paid coverage product that you may add to eligible items at checkout. The Living Guarantee extends Buyer Protection past the standard arrival window for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months from delivery, depending on the tier you select. Premiums are non-refundable once the policy window opens, except as expressly required by applicable law.

The Living Guarantee covers the replacement value of the covered specimen only. Shipping fees on replacement orders or future credit redemptions are charged at the applicable vendor's standard rates and are not reimbursed under this Guarantee. Vendors may, at their sole discretion, opt to ship Living Guarantee replacement orders free; this is disclosed on the vendor's profile and on the listing page when applicable.

The Living Guarantee is offered only on listings from vendors who have opted into the Living Guarantee program ("Living Guarantee Members"). Listings from non-participating vendors remain covered by standard Buyer Protection but do not display the Living Guarantee upgrade at checkout.

Living Guarantee: Approved Claim Resolution

Approved claims under the Living Guarantee are resolved through one of the following methods, at the customer's option:

  1. Issuance of Fast Aquatics store credit equal to one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the original specimen purchase price, applicable toward future purchases at any participating vendor on the platform. Store credit issued under the Living Guarantee is valid for 365 days from issuance unless otherwise noted.
  2. Shipment of a replacement specimen of equivalent species and grade, subject to vendor stock availability and standard shipping rates (unless the vendor has opted to ship Living Guarantee replacements free).
  3. Cash refund of the original specimen purchase price (100%) to the original payment method, where the customer prefers cash over the credit or replacement options.

The customer is presented with these options at the moment a claim is approved and selects the resolution method that suits them. Selection of one option is final upon confirmation. A customer who selects replacement and incurs standard shipping rates may not later seek reimbursement of those rates under the Living Guarantee, having declined the credit option that would have permitted free-shipping stacking at the participating vendor.

The 4-hour DOA window in our Buyer Protection Policy is not affected by the Living Guarantee and operates separately. Standard DOA claims continue to be resolved per the Buyer Protection Policy regardless of whether the Living Guarantee was purchased.

Climate hold

Orders to destinations forecast above 95F or below 32F during the transit window may be auto-held. You may waive the hold and ship anyway, in which case your DOA guarantee may be reduced or voided per the vendor's posted policy.

Prohibited uses

  • Reselling livestock purchased on Fast Aquatics through unauthorized channels (Amazon, eBay, Etsy)
  • Listing or purchasing species illegal in your state or under federal law (Lacey Act, CITES)
  • Misrepresenting species, lineage, or condition
  • Using the platform to harass, defame, or threaten any user
  • Reverse engineering, scraping, or systematically extracting platform data

Payment

Buyers authorize charges to their selected payment method at checkout. Each vendor's portion is processed on that vendor's connected processor (Square, Stripe, PayPal, or Whop). Refunds are processed on the same processor.

Vendor subscriptions and wholesale buyer subscriptions bill on Fast Aquatics' own processor on the schedule disclosed at signup. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled.

Vendor performance & removal

Vendors who exceed category-appropriate DOA thresholds, fail to respond to claims within SLA, or otherwise violate Fast Aquatics standards may be placed on probation, have listings restricted, or be removed from the platform per the three-strike system documented in the Vendor Agreement.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fast Aquatics, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your breach of these Terms or your use of the Platform.

Vendors agree to additional indemnification specific to their products under the Vendor Agreement.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fast Aquatics' aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid Fast Aquatics in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $100. Fast Aquatics is not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.

Disputes & arbitration

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Delaware under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive the right to participate in class-action lawsuits against Fast Aquatics. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of account creation by emailing legal@wetyr.com.

Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be emailed to your account email and posted here. Continued use after the change date constitutes acceptance.
