Winding Country Roads Rabbitry Sales Policy
First and foremost, thank you for considering and/or purchasing your newest rabbit addition from Winding Country Roads Rabbitry. These sales policies are for the benefit of my rabbits. By purchasing any rabbits from me, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions listed below.
Please do your research and find the right rabbit for you, as rabbits can be an 8+ year commitment. There are many types and breeds of rabbits, and they all have different personalities. They are not considered a “low maintenance” pet. Rabbits do require us to feed them daily, clean and refill water bowl, and keep their living area clean, trim their nails, brushing and much more that comes with owning a rabbit. With this, please love your rabbit. They love being petted, held, brushed, and talked to.
Condition of Sales:
· I do my best to sell my rabbits to good homes. I have the right to refuse anyone from buying my rabbits, if I feel the rabbit is not going to a good home or cannot be properly cared for.
· My rabbitry is privately owned. I do not have set hours that I am available. If you would like to inspect and/or interact with a rabbit you are interested in, I can arrange a time for you to come to my rabbitry or meet up at a Michigan show.
· Rabbits are sold at a first come first serve basis. I will not hold a rabbit without a deposit.
· I handle my rabbits on a regular basis. I will not sell any rabbits that show any aggression.
· You are responsible to look over the rabbit you are interested in. It is the buyer’s responsibility to know what you are looking for, and to confirm it is free from disqualifications and is the show quality you expect.
· I do not knowingly sell any sick animals, and all rabbits are sold healthy to the best of my knowledge. I will not be responsible for any vet bills incurred by rabbits that have been sold.
· Rabbits are often difficult to determine gender at a young age. I will do my absolute best to determine the gender, but sometimes mistakes can be made. I do encourage anyone that is buying a rabbit from my rabbitry to check the rabbit before you purchase. You can also ask me to recheck the rabbit in front of you. If there is a mistake in determining gender, there will be no refunds.
· All Sales are final. No refunds, replacements, or exchanges.
· Once any rabbits leave my possession, I will not be held liable for any problems that arise from our transaction.
· Please be mindful of any animals you have, especially cats and dogs. Rabbits are prey. If any of your animals hurts your new rabbit, I am not responsible for that rabbit.
· Rabbits will not leave my rabbitry any younger than eight weeks.
· I do not guarantee a rabbit’s show or breeding results. I also do not guarantee any rabbit’s future breeding ability, reproductive performance, quality of offspring, show winning, temperament, or size, etc.
Youth Buyers:
· I will not sell a rabbit to anyone under the age of 18 without parental consent.
· I offer discounts to FFA and 4-H members.
Deposit:
· I accept cash, PayPal, or Venmo.
· Deposits are non-refundable. If I cancel a sale without notice, then your deposit will be returned.
· I usually require a 50% deposit to hold a rabbit. Rabbits will be held for one week after deposit is made or a week after weaning unless other arrangements are made.
· When we meet up at the designated spot we agreed on if the rabbit does not meet your expectations, I will refund the deposit. However, if you change your mind, or do not show up at the designated meeting spot, or pick-up in the 1-week period, your deposit is non- refundable. I will then find the rabbit a new home.
Final Payment:
· No rabbits will leave my possession until they are paid in full.
Pick-up:
· I can bring rabbits to shows that I already plan on attending. If you are a no show/no call you forfeit your deposit and the rabbit will be made available.
· I am not able to offer a carrier for you to transport your rabbit home. Please come prepared.
· I do not ship rabbits or use any transport.
· Once the rabbit leaves my possession the buyer takes full responsibility of their health, care, and housing of their new rabbit.
Pedigrees & Tatoos:
· Rabbits sold as “pet quality” will not come with a pedigree. I am willing to tattoo a symbol in their ear if you need a way to identify them.
· Rabbits with pedigrees will not leave my rabbitry without a tattoo in their left ear.
· Pedigrees will be emailed within 24-hours of full payment. Pedigrees can be printed out if you prefer, but please tell me ahead of time so I can have it available when you pick-up your rabbit.
· You cannot change the pedigree or tattoo in the rabbit’s ear. It must stay the same as on the pedigree.
By purchasing a rabbit from Winding Country Roads Rabbitry, you agree that you have read and understand these terms.
