Seller guarantees puppy for 7days (from the day you receive it) against death due to a bacterial or viral disease that it may have contracted during delivery. If the puppy should die during that time, a comparable replacement (from that litter or the next available litter) will be given following a letter from a licensed veterinarian stating: 1) the date the puppy was seen, 2) the diagnosis, 3) the test and/or laboratory results, 4) the time and cause of death. Stress-related symptoms (coccidiosis, hypoglycemia, cough, respiratory ailments, etc) are not covered. Veterinary visits and/or medications are at the expense of the buyer. Seller likewise guarantees against congenital defects and inherited disorders. This guarantee extends from birth to 12 months of age, should the puppy develop a condition that is known to be inherited, develops during the first 12 months of the animal's life, and that would significantly alter the lifespan or cause a life of pain. Veterinarian documentation, as described above, must be presented and Seller has the right to have Seller's Veterinarian, or an un-biased second Veterinarian, diagnose the puppy. In any case, for reimbursement or replacement, the puppy must be returned to Seller if so requested. All registrations and rights of ownership are then transferred to Seller. Buyer agrees to pay all shipping and related costs for returning the puppy and receiving the new one.
Large breed puppies must have very special attention to diet and exercise. If a proper large breed formulated diet is not fed (proof of this is required) or if puppy is allowed to exercise in excess, all guarantees are void. Continued vaccination through 18 weeks of age is critical for proper immunity to infectious diseases.
Buyer must have puppy thoroughly examined by a licensed Veterinarian within 72 hours of taking possession, or all guarantees are null and void. Results of this exam must be post-mailed, emailed or phoned in to Sharlette Tidwell.
This contract constitutes the full agreement between buyer and seller. It shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Missouri and any legal action must be brought in to the county of Howell, state of Missouri.
