Terms and Conditions

1.  Breeding Fees:  The stud fee shall be $500.00 for all mares plus a $150.00 non-refundable

     booking fee. The booking fee is good for one collection and shipment and is due upon

     acceptance of this contract.  The balance is due prior to any semen being shipped.  A discount

     will be given on bookings of multiple mares by the same owner.  This contract carries a Live

     Foal Guarantee.

2.  Mare's Pre-breeding Examination:  The Mare Owner will provide PVP a current negative

     uterine culture certificate before any semen shipments are made.

3.  Breeding Dates:   PVP's  breeding season for transported semen begins January 1 and ends

    July 30th  The mare owner will have the sole responsibility of determining the optimal breeding

    dates for the mare within these dates.  PVP and MVVH will arrange to collect, analyze, package,

    and ship sufficient chilled semen  for one breeding cycle to meet the mare owner's breeding

    schedule providing at least 24  hours notice is given before collection. 

        If 24 hours notice is not given, PVP and MVVH will try to meet the needs of the mare owner, 

    but will not be held responsible for failure to do so.  PVP reserves the right to charge an

    additional collection fee if proper notice is not given.  Owner or agent needs to notify MVVH 

    by 9:00 a.m. central time by telephone on the day of shipment to confirm that shipment is to

    be made.

4.  Shipping:  MVVH will ship semen by overnight express (FedEx, or UPS,)  Mon-Fri with an

    additional $10.00 shipping for Saturday delivery.  Shipping costs shall be paid by the mare owner.

    This contract includes one (1) semen collection and shipping in the booking fee.  Should

    subsequent collections be necessary to get the mare in foal, a fee of $120.00 per collection

    and shipping will apply.

5.  Semen Delivery:  PVP, MVVH, employees or agents are not responsible for any delays or

     failures in semen delivery outside of their immediate control.  The mare owner accepts and

     assumes the risks of delayed or lost shipments, although PVP and MVVH will do everything

     in their power to assist the mare owner in completing the shipment.

         The Equitainer must be returned in usable condition within 4 days to MVVH.  If the

     Equitainer is not returned within 4 days, a $25.00 per day Rental Fee will be charged until

     the Equitainer is returned.  If the Equitainer is not returned within 7 days, there will be no

     further shipments of semen, the breeders certificate will not be signed, and the mare owner

     will be charged $300.00 for the cost of the Equitainer.

         Return Insurance ($300.00) on the Equitainer is the responsibility of the mare owner and

     is strongly  recommended.  If the container is returned to MVVH in damaged condition, or is

     lost, the repair/replacement cost will be the responsibility of the mare owner.

     If the semen is shipped via a disposable container, the container must be returned in useable

     condition within 7 days or the owner will be charged for the disposable container.

6.  Insemination:  we do require that a licensed Veterinarian/Technician perform the insemination

     procedure.   A certificate of insemination is included with each shipment.

7.  Payments and Billing:  Full payment of the booking fee and stud fee shall be made prior to

     the shipment of any semen.  Mare owner will be billed for any additional collection and

     shipping fees, by PVP when business is completed and all containers are returned. 

          Payment is to be received by PVP within 30 days of receipt of the bill.  Breeders certificate

     will not be signed until all fees have been paid and all insemination reports have been returned.

     We cannot complete stallion reports until we have all this information!

8.  Care of Mare:  Mare owner will ensure that the mare is properly cared for and will receive all

     necessary deworming, vaccinations (including Rhino vaccination at 5, 7, and 9, months of

     gestation), and  veterinary care during pregnancy.

     Failure to comply will void Live Foal Guarantee.

9.  Foal Guarantee:  Should the mare fail to conceive, or not produce a live foal* within the

     breeding season, and collections have been made, the mare owner will have the option of

     return privileges on said mare during the next breeding season only, for an additional booking

     fee of $150.00, and all expenses.

        * A live foal is defined as a foal, which stands and nurses without assistance for

          48 hours after birth.  A veterinarian’s statement confirming loss of the foal is required

          for return privilege to be honored..

     If the mare is sold during the breeding season and is not in foal, PVP will not be

     obligated to breed the  mare for the new owner and the contract is terminated.

10.  Stallion:  If the stallion dies or otherwise becomes unfit for service before the first delivery

       of semen, then this contract terminates automatically upon notice to the mare owner without

       liability, and all prepaid fees and charges shall be refunded to mare owner in full.

          If this happens after the first collection and shipment of semen and the mare becomes

       pregnant the terms of this contract will be fulfilled.  If the mare is not impregnated

       the $500.00 stud fee will be refunded.

11.    Right of Refusal:  PVP reserves the right to refuse service to any mare or cancel this

       agreement with no notice, and without recourse to mare owner if said mare is a

       habitual aborter, has been bred any two consecutive years without producing a live foal,

       becomes ill, injured, or is  improperly cared for.  In  such  case, the $500.00 stud fee

      (less any outstanding balances) shall be refunded to the mare owner.
