WARRANTY OF QUALITY

You can't get any warranty of disposition when you buy a pup. But you can get protection against his being diseased. Since some diseases have a long incubation period, your pup may appear healthy at the time of purchase, then come down with a disease one or two weeks later. Regardless of the time lapse, if you can prove the disease was probably incubating at time of purchase, you can get a refund or another pup. You must, however, promptly report the discovery of disease to the seller.

If you buy the pup under an express warranty that states the seller will refund your money or replace the pup within a certain time limit, you have to abide by the time limit. If the pup gets sick after the specified time limit, you have no claim.
