THE FOLLOWING ONLY APPLIES TO BUYERS WHO CHOOSE TO USE TRANSPORTERS TO TAKE THE RABBIT FROM THE SELLER TO THE BUYER:
TRANSPORT POLICY: By using a transport company, all buyers will be subject to the following contract terms and conditions;
_____I understand that it is the policy of RLR to only use transporters of the buyer’s choosing. If RLR states knowledge of a transport company who is expected to have an available transport run locally, this should not be considered a referral or a reference and the buyer will be responsible for doing research and into said transport company and finding referrals as buyer deems appropriate. RLR will not be held responsible for any action of the transport company, such as not arriving for pickup of the animal, or any incident while travelling in the care of the transporter or transport company, including illness or death. However, RLR reserves the right to refuse transporters for any reason.
_____I understand that, while it is RLR’s policy to ensure the rabbit exhibits no signs of ill-health at the time of transfer of custody to the transport company used by the buyer, the transporter will act as the buyer’s agent to ensure the health of the rabbit at the time of transfer of custody from RLR to the transport company of the buyer’s choosing. By accepting the rabbit on behalf of the buyer, the transporter is acknowledging that the animal is in good health at the time of transfer of custody of the animal.
_____I understand that anything that is transported with the rabbit (such as pedigree) becomes the responsibility of the transporter as an agent of the buyer at the time of transfer of custody of the rabbit.
_____ I acknowledge that this contract supersedes RLR’s clause in their deposit contract which states; “I acknowledge that if I do not pick animal within 5 days of agreed upon pickup date, my deposit will be forfeited and the animal will be again listed for sale by RLR.” and if for any reason the transporter does not arrive to meet with a representative of RLR on the agreed upon exchange date within the agreed time frame, the buyer’s deposit will be forfeited at that time and the rabbit will again be available for sale to other parties. Under certain circumstances, an alternative date of pickup with the transporter may be arranged as deemed appropriate solely by RLR. For this reason it is expected that the buyer turn this contract in prior to deposit is paid.
_____I understand that payment in full is due prior to the rabbit being released to the buyer's agent (transporter).
