Refund, Return, and Transaction Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

Thank you for using [Insert Website Name] (the “Website”). Please read this policy carefully before browsing listings, making contact with users, or entering into any agreements regarding animals featured on our platform.

1. Peer-to-Peer Platform Structure

[Insert Website Name] acts solely as an online venue and directory connecting independent third-party listers (sellers, rehomers, or rescues) with interested individuals (buyers or adopters).

• We do not own, possess, shelter, or house any of the dogs listed on this Website.
• We do not facilitate, process, or hold escrow for any financial transactions between users.
• We do not take a percentage of any adoption fees or sale prices.

2. Complete Non-Liability for Private Transactions

Because all interactions, adoptions, and sales occur strictly between the individual users involved, GunDogBreeders.com is not a party to any transaction and bears absolutely no legal or financial liability.

• No Escrow or Protections: We do not offer buyer protection, seller protection, or payment guarantees.
• User Responsibility: Any financial exchange—whether it is a deposit, adoption fee, transportation cost, or purchase price—is done at your own risk. We strongly advise against sending money online to individuals you have not met in person.
• Dispute Resolution: In the event of a dispute between a buyer and a seller (including, but not limited to, claims of fraud, misrepresentation of an animal’s health/breed, or failure to deliver the animal), you agree that [Insert Website Name] is under no obligation to become involved, mediate, or resolve the issue.

3. Refunds and Returns

• No Website Refunds: Since [Insert Website Name] does not collect fees for the animals listed, we cannot issue refunds, credits, or chargebacks of any kind.
• Seller-Specific Policies: Any requests for a refund of a deposit, adoption fee, or purchase price must be negotiated directly with the specific seller or rescue organization you dealt with. Sellers and rescues are free to set their own refund or return policies, and it is your responsibility to ask for these terms in writing before handing over any funds.
• Surrendering or Returning an Animal: If an adoption or purchase does not work out, [Insert Website Name] cannot accept the return of the animal. You must contact the original seller/rescue to see if they will take the dog back, or seek a local licensed shelter or rescue organization for assistance.

4. Website Listing Fees (If Applicable)

If you purchase a paid feature, premium listing, or subscription plan to advertise a dog on our Website, those fees are paid to us for the digital advertising space.

• These platform fees are strictly non-refundable, regardless of whether your dog is successfully rehomed, whether you take the listing down early, or whether your account is terminated for violating our Terms of Service.
