PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SAMPLE WARRANTY AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

Introduction

BREEDER warrants that to the best of BREEDER’s knowledge, CANINE is in good health unless otherwise stipulated under “Health Exclusions” below. HOWEVER, should CANINE succumb to a terminal genetic disease, as certified by a licensed veterinarian, then BUYER shall be eligible to apply for remedy as stipulated herein under the section, “HEALTH WARRANTY TERMS OF AWARD.” BUYER agrees that no other remedy will be due to BUYER except what has been explicitly stated herein and that endemic in the purchase of a pet, there is some risk and expected veterinary expense. In any event, BUYER agrees that BREEDER has no responsibility for any veterinary OR other expense that BUYER incurs in relation to CANINE.

BUYER agrees that BREEDER is NOT liable for any contagious illness that affects CANINE after CANINE has been in BUYER’s care for three (3) OR more days. (Please Note: We strongly advise that you do not take CANINE to areas frequented by other animals, like pet supply stores, pet parks, training, play and/or boarding facilities, etc. until all of CANINE’s preventative immunizations have been completed, plus an additional two (2) weeks have passed, AND CANINE is generally healthy and unstressed. (Contagious illness is still the foremost reason for puppy death, and pathogens can even be carried into your home by shoes. We recommend carrying your pet when in public areas, especially at your veterinarian’s or any place frequented by sick or unimmunized animals, as these may pose a serious health risk to your pet. If you have any questions, please ask your veterinarian for further information.) If you have any questions, please ask your veterinarian for further information.)

BUYER agrees that the HEALTH WARRANTY and remedies herein REQUIRE that BUYER perform the duties and care also stipulated herein AND that should CANINE succumb to a terminal genetic illness,
BUYER must supply BREEDER with a notarized veterinary diagnosis of CANINE’s condition BEFORE the remedies defined herein may be exercised. Moreover, BREEDER reserves the right to require a second opinion of CANINE’s condition at BREEDER’s expense within four (4) weeks of receiving a notarized veterinary diagnosis from BUYER before the remedies herein may be exercised.

ADDITIONALLY, BUYER agrees that BUYER will notify BREEDER in writing of any diagnosis upon which BUYER will claim, or want to make a claim, under BREEDER’S HEALTH WARRANTY within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial veterinary diagnosis. BUYER acknowledges that failure to notify BREEDER within this period will permanently void BUYER’S right to make any claim under BREEDER’S HEALTH WARRANTY for CANINE.

ADDITIONALLY, BUYER also acknowledges that BREEDER may not immediately have a canine available for BUYER should a credit be issued, but BREEDER agrees to make a good-faith effort to provide a canine pleasing to BUYER as soon as possible. In the event that BREEDER, or BREEDER’S KENNEL is retired, closed, or is otherwise not producing dogs, BUYER agrees that BREEDER has no liability and that BREEDER’s HEALTH WARRANTY shall be deemed void.

A. HEALTH EXCLUSIONS

CANINE comes to you with the following health exclusions. This means that health issues related to anything listed under “Excluded Conditions From Health Warranty:” below are not covered under BREEDER’s WARRANTY. HOWEVER, should CANINE not be awarded a HEALTH CERTIFICATE, AND/OR if BREEDER’s VETERINARIAN makes a notation of health issues on CANINE’s HEALTH CERTIFICATE beyond, or in addition to, what is stated below, both BUYER and BREEDER have a three (3) day right of cancellation without any penalty AND any monies paid to BREEDER will be refunded to BUYER promptly.

EXCLUDED CONDITIONS FROM HEALTH WARRANTY: NONE

B. WARRANTY TERMS OF AWARD

We are pleased to go beyond the industry standard in offering an extended HEALTH WARRANTY as our dogs generally have good health, and we care deeply about our dogs and their prospective families. As such, we offer a standard five (5) year warranty (hereinafter referred to as “STANDARD WARRANTY”), and an extended ten (10) year warranty (hereinafter referred to as “EXTENDED WARRANTY”).

BREEDER’s STANDARD WARRANTY shall apply to all CANINE’s provided by BREEDER as named within this contract as long as BUYER has fulfilled those terms listed herein.

ADDITIONALLY, BUYER may be eligible for BREEDER’s EXTENDED WARRANTY by providing evidence of fulfilling the terms listed herein, and specifically those additional terms listed under the section titled, “EXTENDED WARRANTY DETAILS.”

1. STANDARD WARRANTY DETAILS

BREEDER’s STANDARD WARRANTY provides a pro-rated credit if CANINE is diagnosed with a terminal genetic illness not stipulated under “Excluded Conditions from Health Warranty” herein. This term is based upon the dog’s age as we place many dogs whose lifespan would not predictably continue a decade or more beyond their placement. This credit IS NOT AWARDED AS CASH but may be used to purchase any available canine in our kennel.

(Please see the credit amount under, “STANDARD WARRANTY PRO-RATION CREDIT SCHEDULE”, herein.) The percentage of the
awarded credit is based upon CANINE’s date of birth, the combined deposit and balance paid for CANINE, less a veterinary expense of two-hundred-fifty dollars ($250.00), and CANINE’s age at the time of diagnosis as determined by a notarized, dated letter from a licensed
veterinarian.

Standard Warranty Pro-Ration Credit Schedule:

Age of Canine	Percentage Awarded as Credit Toward An Available Dog within our Kennel
8-Weeks to the day before CANINE’s first birthday	100%
First birthday to the day before CANINE’S second birthday	90%
Second birthday to the day before CANINE’S third birthday	80%
Third birthday to the day before CANINE’S fourth birthday	70%
Fourth birthday to the day before CANINE’S fifth birthday	60%
Fifth birthday to the day before CANINE’S sixth birthday	50%

2. EXTENDED WARRANTY DETAILS

BREEDER’s EXTENDED WARRANTY provides an extended pro-rated credit beyond that provided by BREEDER’s STANDARD WARRANTY. BREEDER’s EXTENDED WARRANTY does not require any additional payment to BREEDER and is awarded based upon the demonstration of consistent, exceptional care per the terms listed herein. If BUYER can provide a demonstration of the terms herein under the section titled, “TERMS OF EXTENDED WARRANTY”, then BREEDER’s EXTENDED WARRANTY shall automatically apply.

Additionally, like BREEDER’s STANDARD WARRANTY, BREEDER’s EXTENDED WARRANTY is based upon the age of the dog and allows for a credit that may be used toward the purchase of any available canine in BREEDER’s kennel. (Please see the credit amount under, “EXTENDED WARRANTY PRO-RATION CREDIT SCHEDULE”, herein.) The percentage of the awarded credit is based upon CANINE’s date of birth, the combined deposit and balance paid for CANINE, less a veterinary expense of three-hundred-dollars ($300.00 USD), and CANINE’s age at the
time of diagnosis as determined by a notarized, dated letter from a licensed veterinarian certifying a terminal genetic diagnosis of CANINE.

Terms of Extended Warranty:

CANINE shall always be provided with comfortable indoor housing and treated as an in-door pet companion;

CANINE shall receive a minimum of basic obedience training so that CANINE may be a pleasant member of BUYER’s household;

CANINE shall be spay/neutered after twelve (18 months of age, or in the case of females, no sooner than two (2) months after their second heat, whichever comes LAST, OR undergo non-destructive sterilization at any time;

CANINE shall be given an annual oral exam and cleaning of CANINE’s teeth per BUYER’s veterinarian’s recommendation;
