1. Non-Refundable Fee. Buyer acknowledges
that the Reservation Fee is non-refundable in all circumstances, including but not limited to if Buyer decides s/he does not want or is no longer able to take the puppy. Upon receipt of the
Reservation Fee, Breeder agrees to hold the puppy for Buyer until it
has been weaned and is ready for pick up. The Reservation shall be made in US Dollars and paid to Breeder via payments through cash or ZELLE.
2. Buyer Acknowledgements.
Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that (a) Breeder cannot
control litter sizes and that the wait time for puppies can be
longer than expected; (b) the Reservation gives Buyer a “pick”
place, but does not guarantee a puppy or that Buyer’s preferences
will be available when it is Buyer’s turn to pick; (c) pick order is
determined by order of Reservations received (d) pick places are
given on a first-come first served basis and Buyer’s place in line
is not negotiable; and (e) Breeder cannot and does not guarantee any
specific qualities of the puppy when it becomes an adult (f) Buyer
will be contacted when a puppy becomes available for his
consideration.
3. Buyer’s Right to Transfer/Refund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a puppy that meets Buyer’s
identified preferences is not available [when it becomes Buyer’s
turn to pick a puppy from the selected litter], Buyer may elect (a)
to have the Reservation Fee transferred to the next litter or (b)
have the Reservation Fee refunded.
4. Refund at Breeder’s Discretion.(a) If Buyer pays the
Reservation Fee, then later decides s/he does not want the puppy
reserved for the buyer for any reason, Breeder is not required to refund the
Reservation Fee. If, however, Breeder is able to sell the puppy to another buyer within a reasonable amount of time after Buyer notifies Breeder of his/her decision, Breeder may (in its sole discretion) refund the
Reservation Fee to Buyer.
(b)
Breeder reserves the right to withhold one or more puppies from each
litter regardless of deposits. (c) Breeder may cancel a sale for any
reason, regardless of Reservations and the Reservation Fee will be refunded.
5. Final Purchase Price.
Breeder and Buyer agree that (a) the Reservation Fee shall be applied to the final purchase price of the puppy and (b) the remaining balance will become due before the puppy is shipped and/or ownership is transferred from Breeder to Buyer. [The total purchase price for a pet puppy is $2,000. Show puppy price ranges from $3,000 to $3,500.] The foregoing purchase price does not any delivery or shipping charges.
