| The Breeder’s Connection is not an Auction Service. Although we are referred to as an “Online Auction” web site it is important to realize that we are not a traditional "auctioneer." Instead, The Breeder’s Connection acts as a venue to allow rodeo stock breeders to buy and sell rodeo stock in an auction-style format commonly referred to as "online auctions" or "auctions." We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, health, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction. Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer, all transactions are made between the seller and the highest bidder at the close of the auction. The Breeder’s Connection is not a Classifieds. We are not a website to advertise stock for sale. By placing stock for sale on The Breeder’s Connection you are consigning them to be sold to the highest bidder. Also by placing any item for sale on The Breeder’s Connection you are agreeing to all terms and conditions set forth by The Breeder’s Connection and will adhere to all consignor rules. Failure to follow rules will forfeit your right to use The Breeder’s Connections services as a seller and buyer. Consignor Rules: The Breeder's Connection is a SELECTIVE service. In order to sell a lot on The Breeder's Connection your consignment must first be aproved by The Breeder's Connection. A lot may consist of rodeo livestock, semen, embryos, breeding services etc. The 3 categories consist of: Bulls, Cows/Heifers, Semen/Embryos/Breeding Services. In order to get a date saved on The Breeder’s Connection there will now be a non refundable $50.00 consignment fee for any consignments with a $1,000.00 reserve or higher. Any consignments with a reserve under $1,000.00 will be charged a non refundable $25.00 consignment fee. The payment of $50.00 or $25.00 must be received in the mail before a date can be saved on The Breeder’s Connection. A $50.00 no sale fee will no longer be charged, the $50.00/$25.00 consignment fee will replace the no sale fee. Also ALL of the information including pictures, ABBI #’s (if registered), videos (if included), contact information, and bottom dollar reserve price must be received via email or regular mail before a date can be saved. On top of the consignment fee, a 5% commission fee of what your consignment sells for will be due to The Breeder’s Connection once you have been paid by the buyer. If your consignment does not meet your reserve price, a no sale fee will not be charged. Previously on The Breeder’s Connection if your consignment met the reserve, the consignor was only charged 5% of the selling price, this is no longer the case. Now on The Breeder’s Connection a 5% commission will be charged plus the non refundable $50.00 or $25.00 consignment fee. The $50.00 or $25.00 consignment fee is non refundable. Once a date has been saved on The Breeder’s Connection, if you pull the consignment and decide not to sell it on The Breeder’s Connection you will not be refunded the $50.00 or $25.00. When you send the $50.00 or $25.00 consignment fee, please write consignment fee in the memo of your check. If your reserve is met and you do not follow through with the transaction, you will not be able to re-consign that same item at a later time, and your name will appear on "The Blacklist" on The Breeder's Connection message board. The blacklist is a public list of names that signify people who have agreed to follow through by consigning or bidding, and do not follow through. Also, your right to use The Breeder's Connection Online Sale Ring, message board, and chat room can be terminated at the discretion of The Breeder's Connection.

All bids placed for semen or embryo lots must be in a $10.00 (US dollars only) or more increment. All bids placed for a bull, heifer, or cow lot must be in a $25.00 (US dollars only ) or more increment. If your bid does not meet these qualifications, it will be deleted and you will be notified by email. The consignor has the right to post a reserve price to be met. If the reserve does not meet the reserve price, you are not under any obligation to purchase the lot. However, the high bidder will be iven the first option to purchase the lot at the consignors price. Once the reserve is met, all bids are final, and you are agreeing to buy the at the price of your high bid. If you notice that you are later outbid, just like any other auction, place another (higher) bid. All bids will stop at the scheduled time unless there are two or more people actively bidding and their bids are less than 15 minutes apart. This will allow time for people with slow computer connections and for any computer problems that anyone may experience. Bidding will stop, tenatively, at the scheduled time. At this time, The Breeders Connection will wait 15 minutes for any bidders who are still actively bidding. If no bids are received within this 15 minutes, the auction will officially close. If, within those 15 minutes, bidders are actively bidding, the auction will remain open until the timing of the bids lapses beyond a 15 minute increment. This will give everyone a chance to place 'the last bid'. Who knows when it will end if we get a "bidding war"! At the close of the auction the highest bidder will be contacted. If you, as the highest bidder, fail to follow through with the purchase, you will forfeit your right to use The Breeder’s Connections services as a seller and buyer, and your delinquency will be made known on the web site. If the highest bidder fails to follow through with his commitment, the second highest bidder will be contacted and will be given the option to purchase the livestock at the bid that they placed. The second highest bidder is under no obligation to purchase. All monies paid to The Breeder's Connection must be paid in US Dollars only. Any place any reference to money is stated throughout The Breeder's Connection terms and conditions, it is in reference to US Dollars only.
