Standard Terms & Conditions of Sale
A purchaser can secure their new horse for 7 days with payment of a 10% deposit which enables MA Sports Horses to hold the horse on behalf of the client and by which both parties express their intention to be legally bound to the purchase/sale of the horse. Acceptable forms of payment are Cash, Cheque or Bank Transfer. Should a potential buyer wish to have their new horse vetted without paying a deposit this may also be acceptable.
All horses are open to vet and purchasers are encouraged to have their purchase vetted. If vetting is not undertaken then the horse is sold as seen and the purchaser is deemed to be suitably knowledgeable to make this decision.
Should purchasers wish to vet their purchase they must declare this at the time of paying the deposit. Vetting is at the purchaser's discretion but MA Sports Horses requires this to be undertaken within 7 days of making the offer/paying the deposit or the deposit will be forfeit.
In the event that the horse should be lame upon the veterinary inspection then the deposit is fully refundable.
Following successful vetting the purchaser must pay the balance by Bankers Cheque, Bank Transfer or Cash within 72 hours. MA Sports Horses reserves the right to re-sell the horse if the full balance is not paid in this timescale. The deposit will then be repaid in full save for the cost of one standard advert if applicable. Personal cheques may be accepted at the discretion of MA Sports Horses.
The purchaser's new horse must be collected within 3 days of the vetting unless agreed prior. We strongly recommend that horses are insured from the date of purchase.
In selling a horse MA Sports Horses reserves the right to rely on the information contained in the horse's passport as to the age of the horse being correct. Where the horse has been described by age in the horse's passport the responsibility of ageing the horse remains the responsibility of the veterinary surgeon providing that desciption.
Sale Livery Conditions
Payment is taken in two stages - a weekly charge for livery and a commission upon sale. Sale Livery is taken strictly with 1 months livery up front and a commission of 10% plus VAT on sale. If the horse sells within this initial period then the commission shall be paid in part or in full from these monies and the balance, if any, sought from the client. No refunds are given on the initial livery payment. Should the horse not sell in the initial period then the client may seek to continue this arrangement on a rolling monthly basis or arrange to collect the horse at their own expense.
Warranty
Whilst MA Sports Horses try to ensure that their horses are suitable for their purchaser, we can not be certain of the purchaser's expectations or riding capabilities. The decision of whether the horse is suitable rests solely with the purchaser. Horses can be unpredictable flight animals and sometimes inherently dangerous. Their temperament can change according to care, management and rider ability. Where a horse has a proven competition record this is deemed to be accurate for the period of ownership.
Should the horse be unsuitable for whatever reason, under no circumstances will a refund be given.
MA Sports Horses will exchange horses formerly under its ownership for a period of 10 days after the date of sale provided the horse is in the same or better condition and the horse was vetted prior to purchase. Exchange will be allowed for a horse of similar value or its value can be set against a more expensive horse. In some circumstances there will not be a suitable horse to exchange against and the provision of an exchange horse/pony may take some time but will be dealt with in a reasonable timeframe. In the unlikely event of a horse being returned under warranty MA Sports Horses allows for one exchange per sale and will take all necessary steps to ensure that the exchange horse meets the satisfaction of the buyer and acceptance of the exchange horse is deemed to be in full satisfaction of this warranty.
Horses sold on behalf of clients carry no warranty & are sold only subject to vet.
On payment of the deposit the purchaser agrees to and accepts these conditions of sale.
