Pre-Purchase Information & Consumer Disclosure
WEBSITE INFORMATION ONLY – NOT A PURCHASE CONTRACT
Royal Markys provides this page so prospective buyers can review our standard purchase terms before reserving a kitten. Before any reservation deposit is accepted for an online, email, telephone, or other distance transaction, the prospective Buyer will receive or be given access to the full Royal Markys Pet Kitten Purchase and Ownership Agreement and the transaction-specific information required for that purchase.
1. ROYAL MARKYS
Royal Markys British Shorthair Cattery • Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
Email: royalmarkys@gmail.com Website: british-shorthairkittens.com
2. STANDARD RESERVATION DEPOSIT
The standard reservation deposit is CAD $500 and is credited toward the kitten’s purchase price.
Except where applicable law gives the Buyer a cancellation or refund right, the deposit is non-refundable if the Buyer changes their mind, voluntarily cancels, fails to complete the purchase as agreed, fails to make required payment by the agreed deadline, provides materially false or misleading information, or becomes ineligible because of an undisclosed intention to breed, resell or transfer the kitten contrary to the Agreement.
Royal Markys may, at its discretion, make a written exception for serious compassionate circumstances. Any discretionary refund, credit or transfer is not required unless applicable law provides otherwise.
If Royal Markys cancels the sale for reasons unrelated to Buyer breach and cannot provide the kitten, amounts received for that kitten will be refunded unless the parties agree in writing to apply them to another kitten.
Any mandatory statutory cancellation or refund right prevails over an inconsistent standard policy.
3. KEY PURCHASE CONDITIONS
- Kittens are sold as PET HOME ONLY – NO BREEDING RIGHTS unless a separate written breeding agreement is expressly offered.
- Spay/neuter is required by 12 months unless a licensed veterinarian documents postponement, medical contraindication, or other medical inappropriateness.
- Elective declawing is prohibited. Kittens are to be kept primarily indoors and may not roam outdoors freely.
- If an owner can no longer keep the cat, Royal Markys must be contacted before permanent rehoming or transfer.
- An initial veterinary examination is required within 72 hours or 3 business days after transfer.
- The standard contract includes a 12-month limited hereditary and congenital health guarantee, subject to its full written terms and applicable law.
- Pet kittens must be spayed or neutered by 12 months of age unless a licensed veterinarian documents a legitimate medical reason for postponement or contraindication.
- Final TICA registration documentation or transfer into the Buyer’s name is completed or released after Royal Markys receives satisfactory written veterinary proof of spay/neuter.
- An official pedigree is not included in the standard kitten package.
- The standard Pet Kitten Purchase and Ownership Agreement provides a 12-month limited contractual hereditary and congenital health guarantee. Genetic screening reduces known hereditary risks but cannot exclude every possible future genetic or medical condition.
- Lifetime breeder support is advisory only and is not a lifetime health guarantee or commitment to pay veterinary expenses.
4. BEFORE YOU PAY A RESERVATION DEPOSIT
For the specific kitten you wish to reserve, Royal Markys will provide the information required for that transaction before the contract is entered into. This may include the kitten’s identifying details, purchase price, taxes and other charges, payment terms, expected transfer or supply date, delivery arrangements, and the applicable cancellation, return, exchange, and refund policies.
For an electronic transaction, the Buyer will have an opportunity to review the required information, correct errors, and accept or decline the contract. A copy of the completed contract will be provided in the manner and within the period required by applicable British Columbia law.
5. IMPORTANT
This website notice is general information only. It is not a reservation, offer of a particular kitten, receipt, or purchase contract, and it does not replace the transaction- specific Pre-Purchase Disclosure or the completed Pet Kitten Purchase and Ownership Agreement. If a mandatory provision of British Columbia law applies to a transaction, that legal requirement prevails over any inconsistent standard policy.
Before reserving a kitten, please review our Website Sample Agreement. The individual Pre-Purchase Disclosure and completed final Agreement will be provided for the specific transaction.
