Purchase
Agreement |
We, the seller, agree to warranty this puppy for
90 days from the date of reservation from any illness
that is genetically related. We, the sellers, will
replace the defective puppy with a puppy of comparable
quality, as determined by the seller, within sixty
days of the safe return of the defective puppy.
Full medical documentation must precede the return
of the defective animal. The documentation must
explicitly and singularly identify that the cause
of the puppy's defect is genetically related. The
results of this documentation are to be evaluated
by a veterinarian of the seller's choosing to confirm
and authenticate the results provided by the buyer's
veterinarian. The findings and opinions of the seller's
veterinarian are to be considered final and ultimate
opinion. All transportation expenses involved in
the return of the original puppy as well as the
replacement puppy are the responsibility of the
buyer. We, the seller, do not agree to compensate
the buyer for any veterinarian expenses other than
those detailed below related to the parvo virus.
We, the sellers, offer the buyer the opportunity
to have the puppy inspected by a veterinarian of the
buyer's choice within 72 hours of the arrival
of the puppy. If a condition, genetic or otherwise,
is found, that is a major detriment to the puppy's
long term health, the buyer may return the puppy
for a puppy of comparable quality, as determined
by the seller. The buyer must make the seller aware
of this discovery within 48 hours of the time that
the buyer recieves the puppy. The replacement puppy
will be delivered to the proximity of the buyer
within 60 days of the safe return of the original
puppy. All transportation expenses related to the
original puppy as well as the replacement puppy
are the responsibility of the buyer. The seller
does not extend this policy related to common or
insignificant or short term conditions. These include,
but are not limited to, the presence of common parasites
(round-worms, coccidia, giardia, hookworms,
tapeworms, etc.),
fleas, small scratches, scrapes or bites from other
puppies or coughs that are deemed to be short -term
and easily treated not considered a major
detriment to the puppy's long term health. The
opinion of the seller's vet, during the initial examination
is to be considered final regarding non-genetic
illnesses and cannot jeopardize the seller if the
puppy is mis-diagnosed by the buyer's veterinarian
regarding diagnosis or prognosis of the condition.
All veterinarian expenses resulting from this inspection
are the responsibility of the buyer not the seller.
The buyer has five days upon the discovery of the
above mentioned major and long-term health detriment
to return the puppy to the proximity of the seller
(BHM Birmingham International Airport).
Failure to return the puppy to seller within five
days is construed to reflect that the buyer is satisfied
with the puppy's health and absolves the seller
from responsibilty from that day forward for non-genetic
illnesses or problems.
Our warranty does not cover hips. There are a few
reasons that we exclude hips from our coverage.
1) Because of the angularity and frame structure
of Bulldogs, a person could make the case that every
bulldog (in theory) is displastic to a degree. Much
of what could be clinically classified as displasia
via X-ray, has no negative impact on the dog in
terms of discomfort or physical limitations and
is a result of breed characteristics that are specified
in breed standards.
2) There are factors other than genetics that contribute
to Displasia. Including, but not limited to, the
slope that a dogs lives on, the floor surface, the
activities the dog participates in.
Our 90 day genetic warranty also will include an event of sudden death of a puppy that we
sell, due to genetically related circumstances,
we agree to replace the puppy with a puppy of comparable
quality, as determined by the seller, within sixty
days of the death of the puppy when they seller
receives a certificate of death issued from a licensed
veterinarian. The certificate of death must say
explicitly that the cause of death was related to
an identified genetic condition. The results of
this certificate are to be evaluated by a veterinarian
of the seller's choosing to confirm and authenticate
the results. All post-mortum procedures performed
on the deceased puppy are the responsibility of
the buyer. All transportation expenses related to
the replacement puppy are the responsibility of
the buyer. We, the sellers do not agree to extend
this policy to puppies that die in a non-sudden
manner. (i.e. from a condition that the buyer had
become aware of previously but has elected not to
return the puppy to breeder for a comparable replacement
or to seek veterinary intervention when possible
either).
We represent our puppies as being suitable as pets
only. We make no claim that they are suited as breeding
or show animals and we offer no compensation for
circumstances or characteristics that limit the
dogs ability to be bred or competitively shown.
Breeding quality can only be determined at maturity
and suggested under the advisement of a licensed
veterinarian.
The deposit amount of $250 is non-refundable if
the buyer defaults on the purchase of the puppy.
However, it will be returned if the seller defaults
on the sale of this puppy.
The balance of the purchase price is to be
received by the seller within seven days after the
reservation for the puppy was placed or the seller
may offer this puppy to other interested parties and
retain the deposit amount.
We offer a cash compensation, not replacement, in
the instance of a puppy we sell that acquires the
Parvo virus.
Parvo is a canine virus that is commonly thought
by many veterinarians to have an incubation period
of 3-7 days. If the puppy breaks with Parvo within
the first three days after you receive it, then
it probably did not contract the virus at your location
and we, the seller, will compensate up to $350 in
documented medical expenses related to Parvo if
it is reported to us within 72 hours after the puppy
is received. If the puppy breaks with Parvo between
three days and seven days after it leaves our premises,
then it is less clear whether the puppy contracted
the virus at your location or otherwise. We will
compensate $175 for documented medical expenses
related to Parvo that are reported to us three to
seven days after the puppy is received. We will
not make any compensation for parvo that is reported
to us seven or more days after the puppy has been
received.
