This sale is conducted strictly in accordance with the terms of this preamble and the numbered paragraphs that follow. There are no other conditions, expressed or implied. There is no term or condition, nor any warranty regarding the ability of the yearling being sold to perform or be trained to perform any particular function. The breeding records, earnings and race results are provided in the catalogue for informational purposes only. Bidders are expected to exercise their own judgment regarding the fitness, condition, ability or potential of the yearling on which they bid.

1. APPLICABLE LAW: This sale is conducted strictly in accordance with the conditions of sale. All claims and disputes shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta. Consignors are permitted to bid on yearlings consigned by them.

2. BIDDING PROCEDURE: The highest bidder shall be the buyer. The auctioneer and ASHA have the right to reject any and all bids. The auctioneer may decline any bid by persons who, in the auctioneer’s judgment, are not responsible bidders, are intoxicate or have defaulted on former purchases. The auctioneer shall forthwith adjudicate any dispute concerning the manner in which the bids are made or received and his decision shall be final, absolute and binding on all parties. The auctioneer may, in his discretion, reopen the bidding to all or some bidders as a means of resolving a dispute. In the event of any dispute arising from the sale of a yearling pursuant to these conditions, ASHA has the right to appoint an arbitrator to determine the dispute. The arbitrator’s decision, and no other, shall be binding on both consignor and purchaser. The arbitrator shall also be empowered to determine the obligation of any person to pay expenses, including the expenses of the arbitrator. This paragraph is deemed to be a submission of arbitration pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitrator Act of Alberta and all arbitrations shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of that Statute.

3. TITLE, RISK AND DELIVERY: Title passes to the buyer at the fall of the hammer, at which time the buyer assumes all risk and responsibility. Buyer may take care, custody and control of the yearling at the fall of the hammer. Such taking shall not constitute delivery of the yearling, which will be made only after buyer makes payment in accordance with the sale company’s terms of payment. Thereafter, delivery will be made in the form of a “stable release” for the yearling. All yearlings must be removed promptly after the sale. Yearlings not promptly removed shall be stabled by the undersigned at buyer’s risk and cost.

Persons acting as agents for others must file notarized letters from the principal authorizing that the agent may act on his/her behalf and that the principal shall be responsible for any obligations incurred by the agent.

5. DEFAULTERS: A buyer who fails to sign an Acknowledgement of Purchase or to make proper payment of the purchase price is in default and action shall lie against that person for the amount owing plus costs of litigation. The sale company may detain or repossess any yearling for which payment is not properly made and may sell the yearling at public or private sale.
