Terms of use

Plain terms for a marketplace that facilitates transactions between its members. Coda Exchange is not a party to any catalog transfer and is not a law firm.

last updated · 1 September 2026

Eligibility

Accounts are open to anyone aged 18 or over. Listing a catalog additionally requires completed PRO and distributor verification.

Seller warranties

By listing, a seller warrants that they control the rights offered, that the declared splits are accurate and confirmed, that any samples are cleared, and that the rights are free of undisclosed encumbrances.

Offers and agreements

Offers are binding expressions of intent for the duration of the offer window. Acceptance creates a deal memo between the parties. The memo records the parties' terms; the parties remain responsible for their own counsel, tax treatment and registration of transfers.

Fees

No upfront fees. 7.5% per side of the deal value is charged at close — 15% in total. Fees are stated in US dollars.

Prohibited conduct

No misrepresentation of ownership, no listing of rights already sold or pledged, no bidding on your own listing, no attempts to move an initiated deal off-platform to avoid fees, and no use of previews outside the gated player.

Suspension and removal

We may pause, reject or force-close a listing where verification fails, a third party asserts a competing claim, or these terms are breached. Where a deal is force-closed before completion, the success fee is not charged.

Disputes

Disputes over ownership or performance of a transfer are between the parties. We will provide the listing's audit trail, split confirmations and signed memo to either party on request.

Limitation

The service is provided as-is. Verification reduces risk; it does not guarantee title. Nothing here is legal advice.
