Heres a possible solution that might reduce some of the ripoffs we've witnessed recently; a more formalized transaction...

STANDARD LIVE ANIMAL PURCHASE CONTRACT

Due to the inherently uncertain nature of purchasing transactions conducted via the internet, the primary purpose of this agreement is to define the conditions & terms of the pending sale of live animals. Sellers of live animals need to adopt protocols that eliminate cross contamination of their stock, buyers need to adopt protocols that maintain healthy collections.

Once a sales agreement has been reached, the seller should print this document, fill out the appropriate sections & mail it to the buyer. The buyer should complete the document make a copy & return a copy w/ original signature to the seller.

This document is to serve as a contract between _________________hereafter referred to as the “buyer”, and__________________________________________ hereafter referred to as the “seller” _______________. It expires on __________.

The buyer agrees to pay the sum of $_____ for _______ live _______. The buyer also agrees to pay $_______ for its shipping.
The buyer agrees to maintain the animals in a new temporary container that has not previously held live animals for the health warranty period (14 days). If the buyer chooses to retain animals that regurgitate or are otherwise unhealthy, the warranty is void.
The buyer agrees to maintain the animals as directed by the seller during the warranty period.

The seller warrants the animals live & healthy at delivery & for a warranty period of 14 days.
The seller warrants that each animal sold is in normal (good) health, with no abnormal physical conditions. Coloration, &/or patterns that are not normal should be disclosed, preferably via .jpeg image prior to closing the sale.
The seller expressly acknowledges that an animal that is not healthy is without value and thus must be replaced or the monies (including shipping fees) refunded in a timely manner to the buyer.
The seller states it/they have been feeding on ___________.
The seller states the animals feces are normal and no regurgitation events have occurred.
The seller agrees if the buyer claims within 14 days of receiving the animal, that it has regurgitated or has physical abnormalities, the seller will have the choice to replace it, or have the animal returned & a refund then processed. Whichever choice the seller makes, this action is to be completed within 5 working days.
The seller may require documentation to support the buyers claim, this documentation can be a notorized statement &/or .jpeg images.
The seller agrees to incur all additional shipping charges associated with a returned animal &/or its replacement.
