However, as with all living creatures there are still occasionally defects that are out of their control. Which is why they offer the health guarantee’s that they do. I do understand that because of this, should I ever require a refund or replacement that the spay/neuter fees, shipping fees and deposits are non-refundable. This is due to the fact that those fees go to the vet, airlines, website hosting and maintenance along with other fees that are necessary for the puppy.   Any payment whatsoever, returned for any reason (NSF-Closed account, canceled payment etc.) will be considered theft and will be prosecuted within the fullest extent of the law. The dog will be re-claimed and buyer agrees to pay for any and all costs to do so, under no circumstances will buyer be allowed to keep or repurchase dog. Should court action be necessary to enforce/interpret this contract it shall be done in the state of Minnesota, In the County of Hubbard.   By signing/submitting this contract, I acknowledge that I have read all of the terms and conditions as stated above and agree to abide by this entire written agreement.
