Silent Auction Terms & Conditions
The hugely successful internet run Silent Auction of Stud Services has now kicked off again for 2007. Have fun bidding for breedings to some of the UK’s most successful stud males, and get yourself a bargain! Many thanks to those of you who will be offering their herd sires for this fund raising promotion.

terms and conditions of free stud services offered for the internet based silent auction
Stud services which are purchased through the British Alpaca Futurity will be provided subject to the following Terms and Conditions to which the service providers have agreed and the purchasers are deemed to accept by participating in the auction:

The purchase of a stud service is on the basis of a “drive-by” service. That means that the cost of any agistment of females is not included and will be charged, if applicable, at the current rates of the individual stud owner. Such information will be indicated on the website adjacent to the details of the stud male.
Although the service providers will endeavour to provide the very best of husbandry for all animals on their property, neither they nor Alpaca Futurity Ltd will accept any liability for loss or damage to the client female. All female alpacas kept on the stud owner’s property do so at their owner’s risk and owners should be aware that insurance for animals is their responsibility throughout
The service provider reserves the right to use veterinary services as required. All veterinary costs incurred, including where applicable pregnancy diagnosis, will be met by the purchaser
Stud service providers provide a guarantee of a live cria on the ground for 24 hours or a free return to service under the same terms as this agreement. No other guarantee is offered
Mobile services or on farm services may be available but this will be through agreement with the individual stud service provider and will not form part of the purchase of the stud service at this auction
Delivery and collection of females may be available but this will be through agreement with the individual stud service provider and will not form part of the purchase of the stud fee
Where costs, as outlined above, are incurred they must be paid in full prior to the return of the animal
All females must have been wormed within one week and at least 48 hrs prior to delivery for service. The purchaser of the stud service must ensure that any alpaca being sent for service is healthy, in good condition, has no more than one year’s growth of fibre and has not been in contact with any animals with a notifiable disease. The service provider reserves the right to decline to breed such female if in their opinion the alpaca is not in sufficient good health to be bred, and reserves the right to trim the fleece around the rear of the female to be bred if it is considered too long for efficient and safe mating
This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties unless expressly replaced by a new agreement in writing between the parties
