***HEALTH AND GENETIC WARRANTY FOR YOUR PUPPY***
Mason Creek Kennel “MCK” and/or preciouslittletreasures.webs.com shall hereinafter be referred to as the SELLER.
1. The BUYER must have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within two (2) business days of receiving puppy. SELLER must be informed immediately of the initial vet examination by email: ppassion@charter.net. If BUYER’S vet establishes a MAJOR problem with the puppy upon initial examination, which would identify the puppy as “life-threatened” and /or “incurable illness”, then the BUYER should initiate a claim for puppy. BUYER should return puppy to SELLER if SELLER requests, at Buyer’s expense. All transportation costs for a replacement puppy will be at BUYER’S EXPENSE. SELLER reserves the right to have puppy examined by SELLER’S vet of choice, before exchange is made. The value of the puppy for the purpose of this guarantee is solely the original purchase price of puppy, excluding the cost of shipping/ vet certification /airline approved crate and does not include any additional prices declared by the BUYER.
2. DETAILS ON REPLACEMENTS: In the event of death of the puppy, within the extended period of the warranty, which is caused by confirmed genetic defect, the SELLER shall replace the pet with another of equivalent value at no cost to the BUYER within a period of six (6) months. In the event of puppy’s death, and at the BUYER’S expense, the BUYER is required to contact the closest State Agricultural Diagnostic Lab (“SADL”) on the date of puppy’s death… for instructions regarding forwarding the puppy for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. An autopsy performed by your “SADL” provides the most detailed, unbiased, and inexpensive evaluation available for proof of cause of death. Your vet or STATE DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE can provide the contact information for you. A copy of the complete autopsy findings should be forwarded to SELLER as soon as the report is available. The BUYER would qualify for a replacement puppy upon conclusive genetic defect. Absolutely no warranty is implied for any type of injury to puppy or health problems occurring as a result of injury and/or negligence by BUYER. SELLER does not warranty the puppy against sugar drops…”Hypoglycemia” or other non-life threatening illnesses common to puppies. It is the BUYER’S responsibility to ensure that their new puppy eats often and to avoid long periods of time between feedings. All transportation costs for a replacement puppy will be at BUYER’S EXPENSE.
3. TO MAKE A CLAIM FOR REPLACEMENT PUPPY: BUYER must return puppy to SELLER according to SELLER’S SPECIFICATIONS. Copies of all Vet records, all registration papers, and other records such as warranty etc. should be returned to SELLER upon submitting a claim for replacement. All registration papers will need to be properly transferred back to SELLER and SELLER will assist BUYER with this effort. BUYER must return all registration papers/ applications to SELLER and sign all papers necessary to transfer ownership of pup back to SELLER, at BUYER’S expense, at time of return of puppy. If mailed, all returning paperwork shall be returned to SELLER via certified postal mailing… If BUYER cannot provide return of all aforementioned paperwork, this contract will be invalidated and a claim for replacement will be denied. All transportation costs for a replacement puppy will be at BUYER’S EXPENSE.
4. Federal mandates require puppy to be at least 8 wks of age for shipping purposes, but we will not ship puppies until our vet determines the puppy is viable in as much to tolerate the transportation and change of homes well. Teacup sized puppies will generally not be ready for shipping until 10 wks of age at the earliest. If our vet suggests for any reason that any puppy should not be shipped on the tentatively scheduled ship date, we will notify new owner as to the reason why and reschedule once the vet determines it is ok. New owner understands and agrees to this as MCK will not knowingly ship a puppy that is not ready for shipping… for any reason.
GENERAL TERMS, WHICH APPLY TO THE WARRANTY OF SAID PUPPY:
Any refund invalidates further claims to the health/genetic warranty provided for any puppy.
Seller will retain the right to evaluate exactly what age each puppy will be determined as ready for the change of home vs. the trip via shipping. Seller must retain the liberty to delay shipping date if Seller feels the puppy should have more time to ensure safe shipping for the puppy and the ultimate, problem-free introduction into the new home or for any reason Seller determines is in the puppy’s best interest. Seller must retain the right to act in the best interest of the puppy and if ship date has to be delayed, Buyer will not hold this as grievance against Seller. . . deposits are nonrefundable.
