   8. Without restriction to the generality of clause 1.7, if at any time the Buyer becomes unable to care for the Kitten/Cat, the Seller is to be given the right of first refusal.

   10. In the event of any issues with the Kitten/Cat arising, the parties agree to discuss them directly and not to post about them on any public forum, such as social media. Nothing herein however shall prevent, should that be required, the parties from seeking proper legal advice concerning the Kitten/Cat and/or any provision hereof.

   11. Should the Buyer be dissatisfied with the Kitten/Cat in the first three (3) days following Delivery Date, then provided the Kitten/Cat has not been exposed to other animals, the Kitten/Cat may be returned on notice at their expense and the Buyer will be refunded the Purchase Price in New Zealand dollars less an administration fee of $350 + GST.

   12. The Kitten/Cat is believed to be sold in either a spayed/neutered or not condition as indicated in the Schedule. However, if any such procedure is subsequently found to have failed the Seller shall not be liable for any consequences flowing therefrom.

   1. The Kitten/Cat is believed to be free of untreatable and/or life threatening illnesses upon Delivery Date and so long as the Kitten/Cat is kept quarantined throughout this time, for a period of 72 hours thereafter and against congenital defects for one (1) year from Delivery Date.

   2. If found to have such a condition within the relevant aforesaid time period, this must be reported to the Seller immediately and all reasonable directions (including but not restricted to getting veterinary assistance) given thereby immediately and fully followed.

   4. The Seller shall at no time and under no circumstances be liable for more than replacing the Kitten/Cat with another Kitten/Cat of similar value. If no replacement is available at the time of claim, the Seller will have up to one year to furnish a comparable Kitten/Cat. The Seller reserves the right to at any time make a refund of the Purchase Price instead of supplying a new Kitten/Cat.

   2. The Buyer shall be liable for all costs and related charges including attorney’s fees (on a solicitor client basis) associated with the Seller actually and/or attempting to enforce the terms of this contract.

   3. This agreement is the entire agreement between parties.
