PURCHASE AGREEMENT / WARRANTY

 

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Yorkshire Terrier. Yorkshire Terriers are a small breed and require extra attention and care to thrive. The Buyer acknowledges that conditions such as hypoglycemia and dehydration may occur if the puppy is not properly cared for after transfer of ownership. Buyer has read, understands, and agrees to all terms below.

 

1.  INITIAL VETERINARY EXAMINATION

-Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within five (5) calendar days of ownership transfer. This examination shall include a physical assessment of the puppy's vital signs. A copy of the examination results must be forwarded to the Breeder by text or email within that same five (5) day window.

-Breeder will not accept any examination(s) or diagnosis issued by or from any Banfield Veterinary Clinic for the purpose of any warranty, health guarantee, or dispute resolution. Buyer's failure to obtain a qualifying veterinary examination within the required timeframe shall render this Health Warranty null and void.

 

2.  LIMITED GENETIC AND CONGENITAL HEALTH WARRANTY

-Breeder warrants the puppy against a life-threatening genetic or congenital illness diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian (excluding Banfield Veterinary Clinics). A complete written report from the examining veterinarian stating his/her findings and diagnosis must be provided to the Breeder. Breeder reserves the right to request a second opinion from a veterinarian of Breeder's choosing, at Breeder's expense.

-In the event of the puppy's death due to a verified hereditary condition, Buyer must have a veterinary autopsy (necropsy) performed within twenty-four (24) hours of death, at Buyer's expense. Written necropsy results must be submitted to the Breeder. Failure to comply with this requirement will void all warranty claims related to the puppy's death.

 

3.  REMEDY — REPLACEMENT AND REFUND POLICY

     PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. The following terms govern all remedies available under this Agreement. By signing below, Buyer acknowledges full understanding of these terms.

-Replacement as Primary Remedy. In the event a valid warranty claim is established under Section 2, the Breeder's primary and preferred remedy is to provide a replacement puppy of equal value, of either sex, from the same litter if available or from a future litter if necessary. The Breeder shall select the replacement puppy at the Breeder's sole discretion.

-Return of Original Puppy Required. If the original puppy is living at the time a replacement is requested, the original puppy must be returned to the Breeder at Buyer's expense before any replacement puppy will be transferred to the Buyer.

-Cash Refund Is Not Automatic — At Breeder's Sole Discretion Only. A cash refund is not a guaranteed remedy under this Agreement. Any cash refund — whether full or partial — is offered exclusively at the Breeder's sole and absolute discretion. Buyer has no contractual right to demand a cash refund for any reason, including the death of the puppy or a diagnosed genetic condition. If the Breeder elects to offer a cash refund, the refund amount shall be determined solely by the Breeder. Buyer's acceptance of any cash refund amount offered by Breeder constitutes full and final settlement of all claims under this Agreement.

 

4.  LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTY

-Breeder is not responsible for any puppy death or illness resulting from hypoglycemia, dehydration, or any condition that could have been prevented or treated by the Buyer after transfer of ownership.

-Under no circumstances will the Breeder be held responsible for any veterinary or other expenses incurred by Buyer for any reason whatsoever after the purchase of the puppy.

-Breeder makes no warranty with respect to color, coat, temperament, show quality, housebreaking ability, or reproductive capability of the puppy.

 

5.  BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES AND CARE REQUIREMENTS

-Upon transfer of ownership, the puppy becomes the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Buyer agrees to provide proper daily care and maintenance, including all immunizations and veterinary examinations recommended for the puppy's health and wellbeing.

-Buyer agrees to keep the puppy away from pet stores, other animals, and public parks until the puppy has completed all required vaccinations.

Failure to follow immunization requirements or to maintain regularly scheduled veterinary visits will render this Health Warranty null and void.

 

6.  REHOMING AND RETURN POLICY

-If Buyer can no longer care for the puppy, Buyer agrees not to surrender the puppy to a pound, Humane Society, or any facility that practices euthanasia or animal experimentation.

-Buyer agrees to notify Kingsford Kennel-Nashville Yorkies if he/she is unable to care for or keep the puppy at any point during the dog's life. Kingsford Kennel-Nashville Yorkies reserves the right of first refusal to take the dog back.

 

7.  PAYMENT TERMS

-ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE under any circumstances.

-Accepted payment methods: Money Order, Cash, Personal Check, PayPal, or Venmo. Personal checks must clear the bank before transfer of ownership. This warranty is valid only upon receipt of payment in full.

 

8.  WARRANTY DURATION AND TRANSFERABILITY

-This Agreement and all warranties contained herein are valid only until the puppy reaches one (1) year of age. After the puppy's first birthday, all health warranty obligations of the Breeder shall expire and be of no further force or effect.

-This warranty is non-transferable. It applies solely to the original Buyer named in this Agreement. In the event the puppy is rehomed, gifted, sold, or transferred to any other person or entity, this warranty becomes immediately null and void. No warranty rights may be assigned to a third party.

 

9.  SPAY/NEUTER REQUIREMENT — PET QUALITY PUPPIES

-If this puppy is sold as Pet Quality, the Buyer agrees to have the puppy spayed or neutered. It is the Breeder's recommendation that this procedure be performed between four (4) and six (6) months of age, as this is typically when the puppy develops double canines, which can be extracted at the same time as the spay/neuter procedure, reducing the need for a separate surgery.

-AKC Registration Documents Withheld. The Breeder will withhold AKC registration documents until the Buyer provides the Breeder with a copy of the veterinary receipt confirming the spay/neuter procedure has been completed. AKC documents will be released to the Buyer promptly upon receipt of this confirmation.

-Puppy sold as: [   ] Pet Quality     [   ] Show/Breed Quality   (Breeder to indicate at time of sale)

 

10.  VACCINATION DISCLAIMER AND CONDITIONS NOT COVERED

-Although the puppy has been vaccinated against Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus, Hepatitis, Coronavirus, and Parainfluenza, no guarantee is given against these diseases due to their unpredictable nature and the possibility that environmental exposure or individual immune response may affect outcomes.

-The following conditions and traits are expressly excluded from this warranty and the Breeder makes no guarantee, express or implied, with respect to any of the following:

• Color, adult size, conformation, or coat quality;

• Reproductive ability or testicle descent;

• Potty training ability or temperament;

• Improper bite or trachea problems;

• Hernias of any kind;

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia);

• Internal and external parasites;

• Luxating patella;

• Minor physical flaws, loose stools, or coccidia;

• Any condition that can be corrected or managed with standard veterinary treatment.

-This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved in the county in which the Breeder is located.

-If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect​
