14. Title to and risk of loss passes to the buyer when the animal is knocked off as sold by the auctioneer. Immediately after the horse is sold, it will be
the sole risk and responsibility of the buyer. Effective from the time of purchase, the buyer assumes responsibility for the maintenance and care
of the animal. The buyer and sale attendees further agree to hold the consignor and Pitzer Ranch harmless from all loss, cost and expense arising
from illness, injury or death of such animal, or loss or damage to property, and injury or death of persons, caused by themselves, their agents or
employees, or by the animal, subsequent to the time of purchase. No horse will leave until final settlement has been made.
15. Buyers and spectators are cautioned to be careful while on the grounds, particularly while horses are being shown or sold in the sale ring. All
persons attending the sale do so at their own risk. According to the laws of the State of Nebraska, neither the owners nor any other person
connected with this sale assume any liability, legal or otherwise, for accidents to persons or property, before, during, or after the sale.
16. Upon receiving payment for a horse, the cashier will issue an order to obtain delivery. Buyers are cautioned not to lose their receipts. Buyers must
make arrangements for care of stock until it can be removed. Buyer will need to use the “pink slip” to be released to load. Do not remove hip
numbers from horses once they are applied. Buyer releases will be checked against hip numbers and no horse will be released without a legible
hip number.
17. Driver’s license will be required to obtain a buyer’s number. Payment terms for this sale are cash. Payment in full must be made to the cashier
immediately after the sale. All payments shall be U.S. Currency. Method of payment shall be Cash, Cashier’s Check, Traveler’s Checks, or approved
bank check which has been verified and approved in advance by cashier and/or officers of Pitzer Ranch. All payments must be made to Pitzer
Ranch. Any payment made by the buyer to the consignor or any other party will not be regarded as valid or entitle the buyer to delivery of the
animal.
No Re-Deposits: Anyone issuing us an insufficient fund check for a horse will run the risk of having their name printed in our mailing of 115,000
catalogs and flyers. The size of a NSF horse payment check classifies as a felony and it will be turned over to the District Attorney for immediate
prosecution. All past buyers who have passed a “returned check” to the Pitzer Ranch will be required to pre-pay for their purchases or pay in cash.
18. All registration papers will be withheld until checks clear the bank. At 30 days from the date of the sale, the registration papers, along with transfer
certificates, will be mailed directly to AQHA for transfer of ownership to the new buyer. Checks for payment will be mailed to the sellers on that
same date. Disputes and returns between buyer and seller need to be completed by that date.
19. Buyers will pay the AQHA $15.00 transfer fee. All buyers will be charged the current rate of sales tax on any purchase, unless a tax number is given
and the proper form is filled pit at the office. You will be asked for your current AQHA membership number. Persons not having a current
membership can either purchase one directly from AQHA or buy one at the time of payment for purchases.
20. Any horse not consigned to the sale and found on the grounds will be assessed a $175 fee and will go through the auction at the end of the sale.
A release for this horse will not be issued until these terms are met. No horse will be let out the gate without a hip number and release issued
through the office.
