Terms Retiree – Brushy Kreek Coons

General Terms for a retired cat

These terms and conditions constitute the purchase agreement for the cat purchased from BK Ventures LLC dba Brushy Kreek Coons.

By placing a reservation fee on the retired cat, you agree to be bound by these terms which you agree you have read and understand.

When bringing a cat home, you understand that there will be a need for regular veterinary visits and you are responsible for all costs associated with such veterinarian visits.

The purchase price of the cat does not include applicable sale tax (6.475% in Texas County, Missouri). Sales tax does not apply when the kitten is being delivered/transported to owners outside the State of Missouri.
A reservation fee is required to reserve and hold the cat. The Buyer understands this fee is a holding fee and is non-refundable unless the sale is cancelled by the Seller (for example due to not being able to deliver the cat). Payments for the reservation fee may be made via payment online with credit/debit card.
The remaining balance must be paid at or before time of pick up/transfer. Payment for the remaining balance may be paid via check if received at least two weeks prior to go home date. Payment for the remaining balance may also be paid by cash or cashier’s check in person at pick up/transfer. If paying by cash in person, exact payment amount must be paid, no change will be given. The purchase price does not include sales tax nor does it include delivery/transportation costs. PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU PAY BY CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FOR PAYMENT AT PICK UP, THERE WILL BE A 3.5% PROCESSING FEE ADDED TO THE TOTAL CHARGE.
Transfer of the cat. Until the cat is paid for (or arrangements made) and picked up by the Buyer or delivered to the Buyer, the cat belongs to and is the responsibility of the Seller. Once the cat is paid for and picked up by the Buyer (or delivered to Buyer by Seller), the cat belongs to and is the responsibility of the Buyer.
Pickup. The cat is generally expected to be paid for and picked up by the pickup date listed in the Description. If the Buyer needs additional time to pick up, the Seller will allow up to one week additional time as long as the cat is fully paid for by pick up date in the description. If the Buyer needs time beyond the additional one week, a daily boarding fee of $25 shall apply. The cat will be held for one additional week with the daily boarding fee being payable at pick up of the kitten. If the cat is not picked up after this additional week, the Buyer will forfeit the cat, and the cat will be made available to someone else. If the cat is not paid for by the Pickup date in the description, the Buyer will forfeit the reserved cat and the reservation fee paid to that point. The cat will then be made available for sale to someone else. If for any reason, the cat is not ready to be picked up by that date due to health of the kitten or other circumstance of the Seller, the Seller will notify Buyer as soon as practical and arrange for an alternate pickup date. If the Buyer is purchasing airline tickets to pick up the kitten, we HIGHLY recommend purchasing refundable tickets in the event the pickup date must be changed for any reason. We are not responsible for cost of transportation (including any airline or other travel fees) if pick up date must be changed due to health of the cat.
Shipping/Transport. The purchase price does not include shipping or transportation to deliver the cat. The Buyer may pick up the cat in Houston, MO or arrange for Seller to deliver the cat to an agreed upon location. The cost for delivery is in addition to the purchase price. The Seller may agree to meet the Buyer at a location other than Houston, MO to deliver the cat, however, there will be additional fees for this service. The amount of the fee will depend on the meeting location. Fees for delivering a cat by airplane, in cabin, must be paid before flights are booked. Until the delivery fee is paid by Buyer, the fee amount is subject to change due to changing flight prices. If you need delivery of your cat, you must contact us before reserving your kitten to ensure we can schedule delivery. We are not responsible for lost fees, including the reservation fee, due to not being available to schedule delivery by the Go Home date.
Rehoming. In the event the Buyer must dispose of or rehome the above-described cat at any time after the sale and cannot find a suitable home, Buyer may notify Seller, and Seller will take the cat/kitten back. This does not entitle the Buyer to a refund. The cost of transporting the cat/kitten back to the Seller is responsibility of the Buyer.
Confidentiality. All customer information is kept confidential. While we have the right to use any photos or videos provided to us of the kitten/cat in any way, we will keep all customer personally identifiable information, such as name and address, confidential.
Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Missouri. Should any disputes arise, jurisdiction shall remain in Texas County, Missouri.
Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any clause in this Agreement shall not have an impact on the enforceability or validity of any other clause. If possible, any unenforceable or invalid clause shall be modified to show the original intention of the parties.
