FINCH TERMS OF SALE / REFUND
(custom finches)


Custom Order Terms of  Reservation;

                We require a retainer of 30% of your final bird invoice (non refundable after 30 days)
            on all custom finches.
            This is not an added cost and in fact constitutes your first payment.


  • All custom orders must be of at least 2 finches or more.
  • All custom orders in gouldians constitute a mutation that is not
    • green back
    • purple breasted
    • red or black headed

  • All custom orders in parrot finches constitute a mutation that is not
  • green backed.

  • All custom orders on average take up to 8-10 months to complete
    due to waiting list demands this may be longer or shorter depending on availability / complexity  of mutation.  
  • All custom orders are bred specifically for the client, at their request , no substitutions can be made after breeding begins.
  • All  custom orders must be required with both a reservation  and  breeders contract.  A sample of this contract can be seen here
  • All custom orders are subject to a cancellation fee equal to the retainer (30 days after finalizing order) .
This fee has been added as our finches are often bred specifically according to customer requests,
there may not be an after market for some of them, which may lead to a total loss
for Lady Gouldian Finch Canada, when orders are canceled.  
It is specifically because of individualized order acceptance, and individualized breeding
to such orders, that a deposit is required in advance.
Such deposits can therefore not be refunded when a customer cancels 30 days after  contractual breeding
agreement is reached.

This agreement allows us to only couple and breed birds that will be re sold and reduce the number of excess
birds we breed and have to find homes
for. 
A portion or all of this cancellation fee will be used to re market the finches for re-sale on
advertising sites.


Substitutions will void contract if made after 30 day grace period.  
Additional contracts can be opened  if additions to custom order are needed.

Typical breeding agreement will include the following terms:



SHOW BIRDS

  • This constitutes any bird that  we deem "show quality"  based on type and /or condition and /or size. 
  • We cannot guarantee placing ( ranking) on the bench of said show birds.

Breeder may
cancel this contract up to 60 days of expected receivership date provided buyer receives full explanation and reservation fee is paid in full by original estimated receivership date.

Lady Gouldian Finch Canada does not sell any finches still in juvenile moult so the following may apply as breeding is not an exact science:

Breeder may
request extension if reserved chicks are still in moult on expected receivership date until birds have coloured up  (within 3 months of original receivership date. ) .

Breeder
may request extension if reserved chicks are still in parental care and un available for sale.
If reserved chicks are unavailable for 3 months or more after expected receivership date buyer will be entitled to postpone and receive full refund or postpone until an amicable date is agreed upon.
 

Once chicks are ringed seller will receive a breeding contract with full ring information and sales contract as well as concrete receivership date as reservation date may be just an estimation as breeding is not an exact science.
