Animals are solely at the seller's risk prior to being struck off, including that time while under the care and supervision of the sponsor or sale manager. No animals are guaranteed pregnant, to breed, to deliver normal calves, or to carry calves to term. However, all animals that have been bred for a reasonable period of time will be checked by a licensed veterinarian before the sale and his diagnosis will be announced, but not guaranteed. The seller warrants clear title to the animal and other items sold and the right to sell the same. The seller makes no other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
All warranties cease when an animal is resold or transferred by the original purchaser.
The seller will provide to the buyer an official health certificate for interstate shipment of each animal. No warranty is made as to the condition or health of the animal or the result of any future health test or as to the condition of an animal's udder following calving. Health tests and condition for export sales to foreign countries or states with special health requirements are the sole responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise announced from the auction stand or otherwise agreed prior to sale between the seller and the potential buyer. Assistance will be given in loading and shipping animals after the sale but no risk is assumed by anyone associated with the sale when such assistance is given. All costs, risks and responsibilities are borne by the buyer, and transportation charges on all animals subject to adjustment shall be paid by the buyer, unless other arrangements are made.
