Sale and Health Contract
PURCHASE: The buyer agrees to purchase from Cornerstone Labradors (sellers) in the amount of $1000 (one thousand dollars) non-refundable, a male or female of a labrador breed. A deposit of $300 was made previously to hold a puppy so-named ___________________. The remaining $700 was paid when puppy was picked up or shipped. The buyer will provide a registered name for his/her puppy at time of pick-up, and seller will complete registration paperwork to be mailed to the American Kennel Club. ALL puppies and adults are as accurately described as possible and are guaranteed to be healthy and "as we have represented" at the time of the sale. Any known faults will be discussed with the buyer before a puppy is purchased. If, for any reason, the owner cannot keep the puppy/dog, the puppy/dog must be returned to Cornerstone Labradors at the owner's expense. Our puppies/dogs have a lifetime home here at Cornerstone Labradors. Our puppies are NOT SOLD FOR RESALE.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT: When reserving unborn puppies, all deposits are placed on a list that is first-come-first-served by date deposit was received, and depositors are given a reserved right to transfer their deposit to another current or future Cornerstone Labrador litter in the event the desired puppy is not born or is not available. This transfer still follows the "date deposit received" guidelines. $200 of the $300 deposit is refundable if you change your mind prior to reserving a puppy. Full and final payment is required on puppies that are seven weeks and older. If final payment has not been made by the time the puppy is eight weeks old the deposit will be lost. Cornerstone Labradors does not refund money for purchased puppies that are not picked up or taken by their new owners. Once a puppy or dog is purchased it is the new owner’s responsibility to pick it up, provide a clean and healthy environment, and give their new pet love and attention. Again, if a puppy or adult from Cornerstone Labradors cannot be cared for in this manor they will always have a home with us and must be returned at the owner's expense. We do not give refunds for buyer's remorse. It is a new owner’s responsibility to make sure they are ready for a new pet and educated in making their decision to welcome a new family member into their home. If you change your mind once you have reserved a puppy and we have moved on to the next person on the Choice list then your deposit is forfeited and is no longer refundable.

If a puppy/dog develops a life threatening hereditary or life threatening genetic defect prior to age one, and it is documented by a licensed veterinarian and confirmed by one of our veterinarians or veterinarian of our choice, we will replace that puppy/dog with another puppy of equal value. No refunds will be given. The effected puppy/dog must be returned with all American Kennel Club registration and documentation to Cornerstone Labradors at buyer’s expense. We will not supply a replacement puppy in the event of any problem that is not related to a life-threatening congenital defect, nor for a puppy’s illness is caused by accident, neglect, or abuse. In the event of the puppy’s death, an official autopsy must be performed to determine the cause of death.
