Okay...here is our Sale Terms! It is still under construction. Let me know if you see something you think I need to change or add!!
•
DEPOSITS: We do not take deposits on unborn kids. Instead if you see a breeding(s) that you like, please contact us with the breeding(s) you are interested in, whether you want a doe or a buck, and your contact info. We will then put you on the waiting list in the order that your request was received. Once the kid(s) of your interest are born, you will be notified within 48 hours of birth. You are then to get back to us within 48 hours to verify that you want the kid(s) and are to send out a $50 deposit for each kid immediately to the following address:
Jolene and Jacque Seigneur
XXXXX XX XX X
Wauseon, OH 43567
We will then notify you of the arrival of the deposit(s). In the unlikely event that the kid(s) you have put a deposit on dies, we will refund your deposit in full or apply it to another kid that is available. Please be advised that
there will be no refunds on cancelled orders.
•
DESCRIPTION: Description of animals who are offered for sale will be as accurately presented as possible. It will be understood that the Buyer examined and was satisfied with the quality and condition of the animal upon taking the animal into his/her possession and removing the animal from our farm. Since we cannot possibly have any control over how animals are managed once leaving our possession, it will also be understood that, upon the animal leaving this property, all liabilities and responsibilities for the animal immediately transfer to the Buyer.
•
PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE: Prices for kids without deposits and/or “Open Does†are subject to change once the kid is 14 days old or the doe is bred.
•
PAYMENT: Payments must be in: cash, money order, or PayPal. If using PayPal, 3% will be added to cover PayPal charges.
NOTE: We do NOT except checks!
•
BALANCE/PICKUP: Full balance is due when you pick up your goat(s). If goat(s) is/are not picked up within 2 weeks after being notified that the goat(s) is/are ready to leave our farm, a boarding fee of $1.00 per day for weaned kids and dry stock, and $2.00 per day for kids still on milk and milkers will be applied after that time. Any and all “outstanding monies†must be satisfied prior to the goat(s) leaving our farm. Please be advised, however, that
there will be no refunds on cancelled orders.
•
BREEDERS' RIGHT: We, as the breeder, reserve the right to retain any and all kids even if the kid has been reserved.
•
KIDS: Kids must be picked up no later than 4 weeks of age unless prior arrangements have been made. Depending upon time constraints, arrangements may be possible to have kids raised to weaning for an additional fee.
•
TRANSPORTATION: Arrangements & expenses (vet checks & health certificates, etc.) are the SOLE responsibility of the Buyer.
•
GUARANTEES: Goats of our breeding are guaranteed to be reproductively sound. We abide by the rules set forth by the American Dairy Goat Association, as defined under Section XIX, Recommended Trade Practices For Members, Subsection B and D, as written in the ADGA Guidebook which can be reviewed on their website here:
http://www.adga.org/2004-trade-practice.html#98 Any goat that is found to be otherwise will be replaced. The defective goat must be returned to our farm within the allotted time-frame and must be accompanied by registration paper(s) and a signed statement written by a licensed veterinarian who examined the goat and diagnosed the problem as congenital in origin. In the event that said defective goat is residing on a farm where distance proves to be an issue, other arrangements will be made for a replacement.
•
SALE OF BRED DOES: We abide by the rules set forth by the American Dairy Goat Association, with a doe being sold as “a bred doe†as defined under Section XIX, Recommended Trade Practices For Members, Subsection E, as written in the ADGA Guidebook and can be reviewed on their website here:
http://www.adga.org/2004-trade-practice.html#98 At the time of purchase, Buyer will sign a statement that no bucks from the breeding will be registered unless agreed upon after dam and son(s) are assessed to be of the quality worthy of adding those genetics to the gene pool. Upon those kids’ birth, Buyer will notify Seller/Breeder. Contingent upon the offspring meeting the necessary criteria for registry with ADGA and the criteria Breeder/Seller deems necessary to act as breeding stock, Breeder/Seller will provide the appropriate paper work to register said kid(s) at no additional expense to Buyer.
•
DISCOUNTS: We offer a 10% discount for 4-H and FFA, multiple purchases and to “repeat customersâ€. These discounts will not apply if the transaction includes trade items or if we are providing transport assistance.
