1. Seller obligations

Prime Pawline Co agrees to:

• Deliver a healthy puppy with a veterinary health certificate issued within 48 hours of pickup
• Provide a complete and up-to-date vaccination record
• Provide an official pedigree (when applicable)
• Ensure the puppy is fully dewormed
• Place the puppy with a registered microchip
• Provide USDA-compliant travel documentation when required
• Share honest, complete information about the puppy's health, temperament, and breed needs

• Provide a safe, clean, species-appropriate home for the puppy
• Feed the puppy high-quality, breed- and age-appropriate food
• Take the puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 7 days of arrival
• Maintain the vaccination schedule and annual wellness exams
• Never abandon the puppy or surrender it to a shelter — contact Prime Pawline Co first if circumstances change
• Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local animal welfare laws

3. Health guarantee

The health guarantee terms are as follows:

• Initial veterinary check (7 days): The Buyer must take the puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 7 days of arrival. If the vet identifies a serious pre-existing condition, the Seller will fully refund the purchase price (including transport) upon return of the puppy
• 2-year hereditary disease guarantee: The Seller guarantees the puppy for 2 years from the date of placement against hereditary genetic disease (hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, PRA, heart conditions, and other documented hereditary disease). Diagnosis must be confirmed by two independent veterinarians
• Communicable disease (14 days): If the puppy is diagnosed with a communicable disease within 14 days of arrival, the Seller will refund the purchase price upon return of the puppy

4. Spay/neuter requirement

Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, every puppy sold as a pet (not as a breeding dog) must be spayed or neutered:

• Spay/neuter must be completed before 6–12 months of age, per veterinary recommendation
• The Buyer must send the Seller the veterinary spay/neuter certificate within 30 days of the procedure
• Failure to comply voids the health guarantee
• Puppies sold with breeding rights have a different price and require a separate addendum

5. No unauthorized breeding

Unless the agreement explicitly grants breeding rights:

• The Buyer shall not use the puppy for breeding or allow reproduction under any circumstances
• Unauthorized breeding constitutes a material breach of this agreement
• In case of violation, the Buyer must compensate the Seller at a minimum of $3,500 per unauthorized litter
• The Seller reserves the right to require the return of the puppy in case of unauthorized breeding

6. Price & payment terms

The financial terms of the purchase are as follows:

• Reservation: A non-refundable deposit of $400 is required to reserve a puppy
• Full payment: The balance must be paid in full before the puppy is released
• Accepted payment methods: Bank transfer, Zelle, PayPal, or cash at in-person pickup
• Shipping costs: Transport costs are paid by the Buyer and billed separately

7. Dispute resolution

In the event of a dispute:

• Both parties will first make good-faith efforts to reach an amicable resolution
• If no resolution is reached, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the appropriate state court in the United States
• This agreement is governed by the laws of the state where Prime Pawline Co operates, along with applicable federal animal welfare law
