Hey folks,
Just like to get your opinions on an issue we encountered the other day...
We sell horses, cats, and dogs sometimes at or shortly after birth. Obviously, they can't leave yet, so in the contract we stipulate that in the case of sickness, injury, or death while in our control that we will make things right by refunding all or a portion of money/cancel contract IAW the buyer's wishes.
We also bought 3 mares in the States over the last couple of years and and the sellers (3 different ones) all put this in the contracts as well (until loaded and sighned for by transporter).
Just sent an inquiry about another horse (baby) and was told that we'd have to take out insurance because once we paid it will be ours and they would not be responsible.
That would make me responsible for these folks' carelessness, bad fences, and general dangerous conditions and bad husbandry. Makes me question the credibility of the seller.
Same would apply to a tractor or piece of equipment that would be paid for and picked up later.
Am I looking at things wrong?
Dave
