Legal Framework

Terms and Conditions

Please read our rules and guidelines carefully before using our digital platforms or visiting our facility.

Welcome to the official website of the Sea Turtle Farm & Hatchery, Koggala (https://koggala.galleline.site). By accessing this website, making an online inquiry, booking a tour, or executing a financial donation, you fully agree to be bound by these structured terms and conditions.

1. General Overview

The Sea Turtle Farm & Hatchery located in Koggala, Sri Lanka, operates as a licensed marine life conservation center. All digital interactions, educational materials, and third-party integrations (such as ads and payment options) hosted on this site are designed under Sri Lankan wildlife and digital laws.

2. Sanctuary Visits & Bookings

Any tour submission made via our "Book a Tour" buttons represents a reservation request. Final validation, ticket processing, and entrance fee collections happen directly on-site at our Koggala facility. Visitors must respect on-site conservation ethics, including refraining from touching vulnerable hatchlings or using harsh camera flashes near treatment tanks.

3. Donations & Funding Transparency

All financial contributions routed through our PayPal button or direct local Commercial Bank account details are classified as 100% non-refundable charitable donations. As a non-profit marine rescue project, these funds are instantly disbursed for buying turtle eggs from local coastal fishermen (to mitigate poaching), purchasing clinical nutrition, and managing tank filtering grids.

Legal Disclaimer: Executing a donation does not grant any physical or commercial stake, ownership rights, or management claims over the Sea Turtle Farm & Hatchery entity.

4. Limitation of Liability

We make every effort to provide correct scientific classification parameters for the marine species we protect. However, the Hatchery is not legally responsible for temporary website outages, external errors occurring during secure payment routing on third-party sites (like PayPal), or structural layout changes caused by automatic Google AdSense frame expansions.

5. Intellectual Property

The entire source code combination, premium Tailwind presentation architectures, and customized educational text contents belong solely to our platform development team. Scraping, duplicating, or cloning these layouts without explicit written validation is prohibited.
