Baker Family Rabbitry Sales Policies

We don't breed rabbits just to create bunnies to sell; every litter kindled in our rabbitry is planned in an effort to achieve the breed ideals as defined in the ARBA Standard of Perfection.  Our goals are set with breed improvement and show success in mind, and the production of sale animals is a by-product, not the primary intent.  We are constantly evaluating our litters, hoping for show winners and future breeders, and it's rarely obvious in the first weeks how each individual will turn out.  For this reason, we will never pre-sell rabbits before weaning, and do not sell "baby" rabbits.

Sales Policy Goes Here

tl;dr: Rabbits may be reserved for a $50 fee, fully refundable through the end of the day on Saturday during convention and 50% refundable after that.

1- All rabbits we sell at ARBA Convention will be entered in the show.  Wherever a day of the week is referenced in these policies, it is understood to refer to the stated day during the week of the ARBA National Convention, from Thursday 05 October through Wednesday 11 October.

2- Wherever "First-Come, First-Served" or "FCFS" appears in this policy list, it is understood to refer to the first person to PAY for the referenced rabbit.  We *may* make an effort to provide a right-of-first-refusal to someone who was first to express interest, or hold a rabbit for a short time on a case-by-case basis, but such courtesies are not guaranteed and we reserve the right to sell any rabbit at any time unless reserved with a paid deposit in accordance with the policies below.

3- We will not accept full payment for any rabbit until the buyer has had a chance to see the rabbit in person.  This means that remote payments (beyond the reservation fee) sent in advance will not be accepted on our end until Saturday morning, unless we have met in person with the buyer or buyer's agent earlier.

4- No sale is considered final until full payment has been made AND the sales slip has been signed by both the seller and the buyer (or buyer's agent).  If payment is made but the sale is not then completed, for any reason, the payment will be refunded in full IF the buyer requests the refund by the end of the day Saturday; if Sunday or later, then seller will retain a $25 fee and the remainder will be refunded.

5- Specific Reservations.  The fee to reserve a specific rabbit in advance is $50.  The total price will be agreed upon at the time the deposit is paid, and will not be changed by either party.  If the buyer chooses not to complete the purchase, for any reason, and notifies the seller by the end of the day Saturday, then the reservation fee will be refunded in full.  If the sale is not completed or cancelled by the end of the day Saturday, then only half ($25) of the reservation fee will be refunded.  In either case, the agreement will be considered terminated and the rabbit may be offered for sale (or not) by the seller at any price, FCFS.

6- Transfer of Deposits.  If a sale is cancelled, for any reason, and the buyer chooses to purchase another animal offered for sale by the same seller, any deposit the buyer has made that has not yet been refunded will be applied in full toward the purchase of the chosen animal, without penalty.  Provisions of Policies 4 & 5 will then apply to the new agreement.
