WARRANTIES BUYERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PRE-INSPECT AND ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY EXAMINE ANY HORSE PRIOR TO BID- DING OR PURCHASING.

There is no warranty, express or implied, by Producers Livestock Marketing Association or any sale staff member as to the soundness, condition, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any horse offered for sale. It is the position of Producers Livestock Marketing Association that all horses are sold “AS IS” with all existing conditions and defects except as expressly announced from the auction block or as expressly provided herein. Any guarantees announced on behalf of the owner from the auction block are strictly between owner and buyer.

WITHIN FORTY-EIGHT (48) HOURS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE SALE SESSION IN WHICH THE HORSE IS PURCHASED, the buyer shall file with PRODUCERS LIVESTOCK MAR- KETING ASSOCIATION (fax: 970-353-5976 or [email protected]) a written notice of rejection along with veterinary supporting statement of condition of the horse. PLMA may require testing by a second veterinary source of its choice to determine if the horse had the issue at the time of sale. Said veterinarian’s decision will be final. If the veterinarian determines that the issue or defect(s) was present at the time of sale and was not announced, the horse will be subject to return. Upon any such return, the owner will owe Producers Livestock Marketing Association the sale expenses and sale commission (8%) or $500.00, whichever is greater, and the cost of all veterinary services performed. All arrangements and expenses to return the horse are solely those of the owner. If the horse is found by the second veterinarian to not have the alleged issue or defect, the sale of said horse is valid and enforceable and the buyer assumes all costs associated including veterinary services. It is the intent of PLMA to make every effort to record the entire auction which shall be used to settle disputes regarding statements made about horses while in the auction arena. In the event of disputes, the final veterinary examination and recording will be used to settle said dispute. RIGHT TO BID This auction is conducted “with reserve”, meaning the right to bid is reserved by the owner. To protect the desired sale price for the horse, owner or its representative must be the final bidder or instruct the auctioneer and claim P/O, passed-out, on their horse for announcement that the horse has been repurchased or passed-out BEFORE LEAVING THE AUCTION ARENA. UPON REPURCHASE, OWNER AND BIDDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO COMPLETE A SALE, IF POSSIBLE, AND AGREE TO STRICTLY HANDLE THE TRANSACTION THROUGH THE SALE OFFICE. PLMA reserves the right to bid on the behalf of the owner up to the amount of the reserve bid. If the owner or its representative makes a final bid equal to or greater than the reserve, owner will pay the 8% sale commission due. RIGHT TO BID CON’T All completed sales and non-completed sales (pass-outs) are clearly announced to attendees. This transparency allows interested partied to know exactly what the final sale ring bid is for every horse offered and gives buyers the opportunity to make a post-sale purchase of any horse “passed-out” on through the sale office. BIDDING PROCESS The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Should any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the Auctioneer shall settle said dispute and that decision shall be absolute, final and binding on all parties. BIDS RECEIVED AFTER THE FALL OF THE AUCTIONEER’S GAV- EL ARE NOT GROUNDS FOR DISPUTE. In case two or more bidders claim the final bid, the Auctioneer may re-open the bidding procedure and ask for advanced bids, solely between the bidders having claimed the last bid. If there is no advanced bid, the horse shall be sold to the bidder from whom the Auctioneer recognized the final bid. If the bid should be reduced below the disputed bid, the Auctioneer may re-open the bidding with the highest bidder becoming the buyer regardless of whether the final bid equals or exceeds the original disputed bid. In the event of known equipment malfunction, the auction will be stopped. If the malfunction has not affected the sale of horses sold prior to the malfunction, they will be considered sold. The auction will proceed upon correction of the malfunction. TITLE AND RISKS Title transfers immediately to the buyer at the final fall of the Auctioneer’s gavel. Title transfer includes all risk of loss including but not limited to illness, injury or death of the horse.
