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:

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

Health records verification is required to list a stud dog on the Platform. Sellers agree to submit accurate, unaltered veterinary and genetic records, and to update those records as needed.

Required documentation:

  • One genetic test appropriate to the breed
  • At least one additional health screening, such as hips, elbows, cardiac, or eyes, as determined by applicable breed standards
  • A brucella test performed within the last twelve (12) months

Sellers agree to keep brucella testing current and to notify FMSD if a stud’s health status changes.

Health records verification indicates documentation has been reviewed. It does not guarantee fertility, genetic outcomes, or breeding success.

Documents submitted for verification are not published. FMSD reviews them and issues a certificate summarizing the verified results, which is displayed on the listing. Sellers agree that FMSD may issue and display such a certificate and that Buyers may share it.

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 generate the shipping label through the Platform and deliver the shipment to the carrier in time to meet that day’s cutoff. Tracking is provided automatically once the label is generated.

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.

Where a booking is deemed non-fulfillable due to Seller failure, FMSD may recover from the Seller any non-recoverable costs incurred, including payment processing fees and any shipping charges that cannot be refunded by the carrier. Such amounts may be deducted from current or future payouts.

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 set the stud fee and the collection cost. The collection cost must reflect the actual cost of collection, handling, and preparation charged by the Seller’s veterinarian, and is subject to the maximum permitted by the Platform.

Shipping is calculated by FMSD at checkout based on the destination. Sellers do not set or include shipping in their listed pricing.

All amounts a Buyer will pay to the Seller must be disclosed at the time of listing. Additional fees may not be requested after a booking is confirmed, and Sellers may not request payment outside the Platform for any part of the transaction.

Failure to disclose full pricing, or inflating the collection cost beyond actual cost, 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.

Seller-defined terms are displayed on the listing and form part of the agreement between Buyer and Seller when the Buyer completes payment.

Where a Seller offers a rebreeding, the rebreeding may be used with a different female belonging to the same Buyer unless the Seller’s terms state otherwise. A rebreeding waives the stud fee; collection cost, shipping, and platform fees still apply, and the rebreeding booking remains subject to the Seller’s approval.

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

Live breeding is not currently offered through the Platform. If FMSD enables live breeding in the future, the following terms apply.

Where 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). In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will control.
