This Seller Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your participation as a Seller on FindMyStudDog.com (“FMSD,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Agreement is supplemental to the FindMyStudDog Terms of Service, which are incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will control. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service.
By listing a stud dog or accepting bookings through the Platform, you agree to comply with this Agreement.
1. Seller Role & Responsibility
As a Seller, you agree to provide stud services in a professional, accurate, and reliable manner.
You are solely responsible for:
- The accuracy of your listings and the truthfulness of all health records and documentation submitted to the Platform
- The condition and health of your stud dog
- The collection, handling, and shipment of semen
- Compliance with all applicable laws and breeding standards
FMSD does not assume responsibility for your services, animals, or outcomes.
2. Listing Requirements
Sellers must ensure that all listings are accurate, complete, and not misleading or deceptive. Listings must be supported by valid documentation where applicable, including health testing records, genetic information, stud history, and photos and descriptions.
FMSD reserves the right to request additional documentation, modify or remove listings, or deny listing approval at its discretion.
3. Health Records Verification
If participating in FMSD’s health records verification system, Sellers agree to submit accurate, unaltered veterinary and genetic records, provide documentation for required testing (a genetic test and at least one additional health test as determined by applicable breed standards), and update records as needed.
Health records verification indicates documentation has been reviewed but does not guarantee fertility, genetic outcomes, or breeding success.
Misrepresentation of health records may result in immediate listing removal, account suspension, or forfeiture of earnings.
4. Booking Obligations
Once a booking request is accepted, the Seller is expected to fulfill the transaction in accordance with the agreed date, the Seller’s listed terms, and FMSD platform standards. Sellers may decline booking requests prior to acceptance but are expected to act in good faith once a booking is confirmed.
5. Fulfillment & Collection Standards
Sellers are required to collect and ship semen on the confirmed booking date using accepted veterinary and industry practices for collection, handling, and packaging. Sellers must provide tracking information through the Platform.
Failure to Fulfill
If a Seller cannot fulfill on the scheduled date, a good faith effort must be made to fulfill the next available day if viable. If fulfillment is no longer viable, the booking may be deemed non-fulfillable. Repeated fulfillment failures may result in reduced visibility, listing removal, or account suspension.
6. Shipping Responsibilities
Sellers are responsible for proper shipment preparation, accurate shipping details, and selecting appropriate shipping methods. Sellers acknowledge that carrier delays are outside of FMSD’s control and that delivery timing is critical to breeding success.
7. Semen Quality & Handling
Sellers agree to follow accepted industry standards for semen collection and handling, including appropriate methods for chilled or frozen semen. FMSD does not independently verify semen quality. Claims related to semen quality must be supported by documentation from a licensed veterinarian and will be reviewed at FMSD’s discretion.
8. Pricing & Transparency
Sellers must include all costs in the listed price, including shipping and analysis fees. Additional fees may not be added after booking. Pricing must be transparent and accurate at the time of listing. Failure to disclose full pricing may result in listing removal or penalties.
9. Seller-Defined Terms
Sellers may define additional terms related to rebreeding policies, guarantees, and timing requirements. FMSD reserves the right to review, modify, or refuse enforcement of any Seller-defined terms deemed unreasonable, misleading, or inconsistent with platform standards. Seller-defined terms are supplemental to the Terms of Service and the Dispute and Refund Policy. In the event of a conflict, the Platform documents will control.
10. Communication & Platform Use
Sellers agree to conduct all communication through the FMSD Platform, not share contact information for the purpose of bypassing the Platform, and not engage in off-platform transactions related to Platform leads. Circumvention may result in immediate account suspension and loss of access to funds.
11. Payments & Payouts
Payments are collected by FMSD and held until delivery is confirmed via tracking and the four-day hold period has been completed. FMSD reserves the right to delay payouts in cases of dispute or withhold payouts in cases of fraud or policy violation. FMSD will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Sellers when payouts are delayed or withheld.
12. Content License
By uploading photos, health records, genetic testing results, descriptions, or other content to the Platform, you grant FMSD a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the Platform. This license continues for as long as the content remains on the Platform and for a reasonable period after removal to allow for archival and backup purposes. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to all content you upload.
13. Live Breedings
If a Seller offers live breedings, the Seller is responsible for providing a safe and clean facility, ensuring the stud dog is healthy and current on vaccinations, and communicating all terms and conditions related to the live breeding prior to the Buyer’s arrival. FMSD does not supervise, attend, or participate in live breedings. The Seller is responsible for any injury, illness, or facility-related issue that arises from conditions within the Seller’s control.
14. Stud Unavailability
If a stud dog becomes unavailable due to death, injury, illness, or confirmed infertility, the Seller must notify FMSD promptly and update or remove the listing. Any pending bookings for the affected stud will be deemed non-fulfillable and handled in accordance with the Dispute and Refund Policy. Failure to notify FMSD of a stud’s unavailability in a timely manner may result in penalties or account action.
15. Compliance with Law
Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their breeding operations and use of the Platform comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations, including any licensing, permit, or registration requirements applicable to breeding or the sale of stud services in their jurisdiction.
16. General Terms
The following provisions of the Terms of Service apply to Sellers and are incorporated by reference: Disputes and Resolution (Section 13), Prohibited Conduct (Section 15), Assumption of Risk (Section 16), Limitation of Liability (Section 17), Indemnification (Section 18), Modifications to Terms (Section 19), Governing Law and Dispute Resolution (Section 20), Disclaimer of Warranties (Section 21), and Electronic Communications (Section 22).
