Warranty and Terms

Warranties:

All breeding alpacas have been DNA blood typed, ARI registered and have health records.

Maiden females are guaranteed anatomically correct in the reproductive system at maturity and capable of becoming pregnant and producing a live cria when bred to a Herdsire owned by the seller. Warranty ends after the first birth. The seller is not liable for circumstances beyond their control causing infertility while the alpaca is in the possession of the buyer. If abuse or neglect does occur on the part of the buyer resulting in a lost pregnancy, this will nullify all warranties.

Bred females are sold with a live birth guarantee: Should the alpaca not have a live birth, the seller will provide a free breeding to a Herdsire owned by the seller. Abuse and neglect on the part of the buyer resulting in a lost pregnancy will nullify all warranties.

Potential or Junior Herdsires are sold guaranteed to have an anatomically correct reproductive system and be fertile at maturity. If by the age of 4 years, a male alpaca has not bred a female and semen evaluation shows inability to impregnate a female, the buyer will return the male alpaca to the seller. The seller has the right of possession of the male alpaca for a period of up to 6 months during which time the seller will determine the validity of the infertility claim. Should the infertility claim be valid, the seller will, at his choice, replace the male with an alpaca of equal quality or refund the animal’s purchase price. The seller is not liable for circumstances beyond his control which causes infertility while the male alpaca is in the possession of the buyer.
