Case Study: Progeny Breed Dispute

AuctionsPlus are updating our User Agreement and Sale Terms.

The information outlined in this article is effective as of the 1st March, 2023.

Under the AuctionsPlus User Agreement, defined traits of unborn progeny (including breed) is a claim which may be reported outside 48 hours of delivery, as outlined in Table 3 (shown below).

Claims must be supported by evidence, and in the case of a progeny breed dispute, photographs or videos of the offspring are required. This can assist with conversations with the selling agent and our standard process would involve the purchaser and the selling agent first attempting to negotiate an outcome, once calving/lambing has completed and the extent of the issue determined.

A 5% tolerance applies, and if this is exceeded, the buyer may seek a resolution as outlined in our Terms.
