1. Parties: Hidden Creek Germans shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Seller." The original purchasing party, and solely the original purchasing party, shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Buyer."
2. The Buyer must have the puppy examined by a licensed DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) within two (2) days of receipt of the puppy excluding weekends and holidays. The Seller must be informed within twenty-four (24) hours of the examination's result by e-mail. The email needs to include a summary of the vet visit, the date, time, and vet’s name and phone number. Failure to comply will render this guarantee void.
3. Your puppy is currently eating Diamond Large Breed Puppy Food. Even if you plan to switch brands I highly recommend ordering at least a small bag of food as making an abrupt change in a puppy’s food can cause digestive problems. Having a small bag on hand will help to make the transition as easy as possible. I recommend letting the puppy settle into your routine before switching. To switch to your own preference of dog food make the change a gradual process to help the puppy adjust, usually over a 7 – 10 day period, slowly increasing the ratio of food you prefer. Most dog food brands have their own recommendations on how to switch a dog over to their food. You should follow any directions printed on their bag.
4. One Year Guarantee: If within one (1) year from the date of birth, a dog is found and certified by two (2) different licensed DVM's to have congenital or hereditary disorders which adversely affect the health of the animal or is life-threatening, or in the unlikely event of the death of the puppy, and if Seller is notified within two (2) business days of the veterinarian's determination, the Seller will credit 100% of the original purchase price toward a replacement puppy. All conditions set forth in paragraph 15 shall apply.
5. If the Buyer declines the replacement puppy, then the Seller shall be under no further obligation and it will be deemed that the Buyer has released the Seller from all further claims.
6. In case of severe knee, elbow or hip dysplasia, the radiograph should be permanently identified in the film emulsion with: registered name and/or number, name of the veterinarian or hospital making the film, date of radiograph taken. Furthermore, the radiograph and report must meet OFA's standard submission requirements.
7. Temperament issues are not covered under this guarantee as they can be caused by a lack of training, discipline or proper socialization. All puppies are sold as pets; no guarantee is made as to disposition, conformation, size, weight, color, markings or breeding ability. Seller sells pets for companion purposes only.
8. The value of the puppy for the purpose of this guarantee is solely the original purchase price of the puppy, and does not include shipping costs, health certificate, shipping crate or any additional prices declared by the Seller.

In the event this guarantee is exercised, the registration papers must be returned to the Seller.
10. Usually the puppy will be delivered on the agreed upon date, but occasionally a puppy may need additional time with the Seller before delivery. The final determination of the delivery date for the puppy is made by the Seller and the Seller's veterinarian, with the health of the puppy being the overriding factor. Transportation of the puppy is arranged through third-party carriers.
