Sale Terms & Conditions
CONDITIONS OF SALE
No. 1 Governing Law: RC Auction Co, LLC D.B.A. Ocala Horse Sale, Sale Manager, is known and recognized as sale
management and is an independent contractor regularly engaged in the business of conducting consignment sales of
horses. The Sale Management or any representative thereof is not responsible for any liability whatsoever, including, but
not limited to, the loss, damage, injury, death or illness of any animal, person, or property before, during, or after the
sale. All horses consigned to the sale are offered in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
All transactions between Buyer, Consignor, and Sale Management are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. In the
event of any legal dispute between Buyer or Consignor, Sale Management will occupy the position of Agent for a
disclosed Principal and Stakeholder and will be discharged from all obligations owing to the Consignor or Buyer upon
delivery of any property or funds held by Sale Management to the Court having jurisdiction of such dispute.
No. 2 Bidding Procedure: The highest bidder shall become the Buyer. Any successful bidder shall sign a Buyers
Acknowledgment (‘ticket’) which shall be presented by an auction clerk immediately after the purchase has been made.
The right to pass-out
(P.O) is reserved by Consignor or his representative. Any such action must be made prior to the
Consignor’s horse departing the auction arena. Title
to the animal passes to the Buyer automatically at the final fall of the auctioneer’s gavel unless such pass-out (P.O.) is
clearly indicated immediately by Consignor, his representative, or the auctioneer. Sale Management and/or auctioneer(s)
reserve the right to reject any and all bids.
No. 3 Bidding Disputes: If a dispute should arise between or among two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall settle the
dispute and his decision shall be absolute, final, and binding on all parties. In such case, the auctioneer has the right to
reopen the bidding procedure and ask for advanced bids solely between the bidders having claimed the last bid. If there
is no advance bid, the horse shall be sold to the bidder from whom the auctioneer recognized the final bid. If, for any
reason, the bid should be reduced below the recognized bid at the beginning of such a dispute, the auctioneer may
reopen the bidding to all bidders with the highest bidder becoming the Buyer regardless of whether the final bid exceeds
the bid which was originally disputed.
No. 4 Title and Delivery: Title – Title passes to the Buyer automatically at the final fall of the auctioneer’s gavel. At such
time Buyer assumes all risk of loss. The responsibility, maintenance, care, and expenses for the horse shall pass
immediately from Consignor to Buyer at the final fall of the gavel. This shall especially be the condition in the case of
illness, injury, or death of any horse after it has been sold. Upon passage of title, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Sale
Management or any representative thereof, harmless from all loss, cost and expense arising from any or all of the
following:
(1) the illness, injury or death of purchased animal;
(2) loss or damage to property; (3) injury or death of persons caused by the Buyer, his agents, his employees or by the
purchased animal. Title and all risks are assumed by Buyer whether Delivery has been made. Delivery – Delivery of a
purchased animal shall be contingent upon Buyer making a full settlement to the sale cashier as described in Conditions.
No. 5 After a satisfactory settlement is made, delivery will be in the form of a Release for the horse from the auction
grounds. In addition to the Release, Buyer will receive a current Coggins test, a copy of the registration papers or
registration application. After Delivery has been made, Buyer shall remove the horse within the specified time
announced prior to the commencement of the auction and shall be subject to any charges associated with the purchase
should Buyer fail to do so.
No. 6 Settlement: Settlement for any purchase must be made in full and paid directly to the sale cashier within the
specified time announced prior to the commencement of the auction. The Buyer’s Acknowledgement of Purchase is not
transferable without the approval of Sale Management.
Payment to any other source is prohibited and is not recognized as Settlement. All payment must be made directly to the
sale cashier. Settlement for any purchase must be made for the full purchase price with U.S. Currency or with funds from
a U.S. Bank in the form of certified check, travelers check, or bank check which has been verified and approved in
advance by Sale Management. A valid driver’s license and/or other approved forms of positive identification are required
upon Settlement.
Any person signing a check in the State of Florida is liable for the full amount of the check. Any party issuing a check
returned as “insufficient funds”, “payment stopped” or “account closed” or a check that for any other reason does not
clear the drawee’s bank will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Appropriate legal services will be obtained in
whatever jurisdiction necessary to secure performance of any payment given as Settlement. All costs, including
attorney’s fees, incurred by Sale Management to secure performance shall be the responsibility of the party issuing such
payment.
ALL returned forms of payment including credit card chargebacks will be immediately turned over to the District
Attorney's Office for collection and charges. Cost of collection, including attorney's fees will be assessed to the buyer.
Credit Card Chargebacks are NOT permitted.
No. 7 Defaulters: All Buyers shall be responsible for the full purchase price as stated for the horse.
Buyers who fail in any respect whatsoever to make Settlement as described in Condition No. 6 shall be declared in
default. Any horse purchased by a defaulter may be resold by Sale Management. All costs associated with such resale
shall be borne by the defaulter. Should such a resale fail to satisfy in full the defaulter’s balance due, the defaulter shall
immediately pay Sale Management the amount of the balance owed. If defaulter fails for any reason to pay all the
balance owing, the Consignor or Sale Management may bring suit against the defaulter who shall be responsible for all
costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Sale Management in collection of amounts owing or in enforcement or
interpretation of the Sale Condition.
No. 8 Warranties:
A. Prospective Buyers are hereby cautioned and advised by Sale Management to examine horses thoroughly prior to
purchasing.
B. Horses sold in our auction as SOUND are guaranteed for 48 hours!
This soundness guarantee means no crib, no weave, no lameness, no parrot mouth (overbite or underbite), sound of
wind, and sight with no impairment in both eyes. The warranty also protects the buyers against blatant
misrepresentation such as age and usability. If you purchase a horse sold sound and find any of the above issues, please
contact us within 48 hours.
Note: The soundness warrantee is limited to horses that are not announced to be as is by the auctioneer.
Note: Failure of a flexion test alone without otherwise visible lameness is NOT sufficient to declare a horse unsound.
Note: Conformation flaws such as toeing in or out are not an unsoundness.
Note: Major blemishes or defects disclosed in the auction ring will not be covered under the warranty.
The 48-hour Guarantee will be void if the physical appearance of any horse has been altered by the buyer prior to the
expiration of the 48hours (8pm on the Monday following the auction.) This includes but is not limited to: cutting,
trimming, roaching, or clipping the mane, tail or feathers, body clipping, branding and any other action that would
negatively impact the marketability or value of the animal in question. If a buyer chooses to change the physical
appearance of a horse purchased prior to the expiration of the guarantee the buyer has forfeited any right of return and
agrees to take full possession and make payment in full as a result.
C. Ocala Horse Sale is not responsible for any discrepancies as to the age of any horse being sold Grade or Unregistered.
Ocala Horse Sale depends on the consignor completely for the age and description of all horses. If a horse's age is
misrepresented, (by more than a couple years), that falls under the "Blatant Misrepresentation" portion of our 48 hour
Guarantee, and MUST be reported prior to the Monday following the sale, no later than 8pm. Ocala Horse Sale will be
the final decision maker if a dispute should arise, and by participating in the auction, both buyer and seller agree to these
terms.
D. Sale Management is not responsible for Buyer or Consignor misunderstanding. A recording will be made of the entire
auction that may be used to help settle disputes regarding statements about the horses while in the auction arena.
E. All animals sold at this auction are sold with no implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
The Consignor is the party responsible for all representations or warranties expressed or implied concerning the
condition of any horse and buyers should satisfy themselves concerning the condition before purchasing.
No. 9 Broodmares & Stallions: No guarantees are made by Sale Management or any representative thereof regarding
pregnancy status, eventual foaling, or fertility of any animal offered in this sale. Final pregnancy status on broodmares
will be announced at time of sale and will take precedence over printed material in the catalog or in advertising. Any
contractual agreements between owners of broodmares in the sale and owners of stallions to which these mares may
have been bred are strictly between Buyer and Seller.
No. 10 Catalog and announcements:
Buyers are cautioned to pay close attention to announcements from the auction block regarding changes in the sale
catalog and such announcements take precedence over printed material. The accuracy of all information in the catalog is
the sole responsibility of the Consignor. It is solely the responsibility of the Consignor to verify the accuracy of such
information and to make certain such changes are made public while the animal is in the auction arena. Sale
Management or any representative thereof does not assume any responsibility or liability for errors or omissions or for
any verbal or written statement regarding the animal sold.
No. 11 Registration Certificates:
A. Upon Delivery of purchase and prior to conclusion of the sale, Buyers are advised to determine the accuracy of
original registration certificates.
B. All original registration certificates, transfer reports, and/or applicable breeder’s certificates and/or registration
applications will be held by the Sales management until the 48-hour Guarantee has expired, and then will be mailed to
the successful buyer following complete payment.
C. Buyer will be responsible for any registration, transfer and color correction fees associated with purchase. Buyer will
be responsible for any fees associated with a purchase selling on a registration application.
No. 12 Health: All horses in this sale have been required to have tested negative for equine infectious anemia (Coggins
test). Out of state or other health certificates may be obtained from the Official Sale Veterinarian at Buyer’s expense.
Registration papers are available for viewing in the office to verify genetic testing. No horse will be turned down after
purchase because of genetic traits or markers.
X-Rays and Veterinarian exams are provided online for Preferred Session consignments for PRE-Purchase use to provide
buyers with as much information as possible prior to bidding. No horse will be turned down after purchase because of X-
Rays, Pre-Purchase, veterinarian exams or Post Purchase exams.
The 48-hour Guarantee says the horse will travel sound within that time frame. If a dispute arises, the auction company
will assess the horse’s ability to travel sound and both buyer and seller agree to accept the decision.
All Sellers, Buyers, bidders and attendants voluntarily and intentionally waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in
respect to any litigation arising from or connected with this auction.
ANY ITEM NOT COVERED IN THESE SALE CONDITIONS SHALL BE REGULATED ACCORDING TO THE ESTABLISHED CUSTOMS
AND PRACTICES OF PROFESSIONAL SALE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES. ALL PERSONS ATTENDING THIS SALE DO SO AT
THEIR OWN RISK AND ARE URGED TO USE CAUTION WHILE ON THE GROUNDS.
