1. The Stud

• Yirribee Pacing Stud (hereafter referred to as "the Stud") reserves the right to refuse service to any mare at any time, at its sole discretion.
• The broodmare owner(s) or their authorised representative (hereafter referred to as "the Breeder") acknowledges that it is their sole responsibility to read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement. The Breeder must ensure they are familiar with the Stud’s current charges and conditions of service. All mares presented for service must be in sound health and suitable breeding condition. No amendments or additions to this agreement will be recognised unless formally agreed to in writing by both parties.
• The Stud makes no warranty or representation regarding the fertility of its stallions, including but not limited to its ability to breed successfully or to cause conception.

2. Service Fees

• Cattlewash Services are subject to an additional 15% HRA levy, calculated on the full, non-discounted listed service fee. This levy will be invoiced together with the service fee and is payable under the payment terms outlined in Section 3. Return services are also subject to the applicable HRA levy at the rate applicable to the year in which the return service is used.
• Promotional or donated services issued to Australian Associations or Clubs will also attract the applicable HRA levy, based on the full, non-discounted service fee. This is to be paid by the respective Association or Club in accordance with Section 3.
• Multiple mare discounts, where offered, are only applicable if the required number of mares achieve a 42-day positive pregnancy test, and all related service fees are paid in full within the agreed trading terms.
• Any discount granted will be forfeited if payment is not received within the specified trading terms, and the full standard service fee will apply.
• The Breeder shall not be entitled to register any resulting foal with the relevant Harness Racing Authority until all monies owing under this agreement have been paid in full.

3. Payment

• All invoices issued by the Stud must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date.
• Any amounts outstanding beyond the end of the month following the invoice date will incur interest at the rate of 10% per month, plus any associated recovery costs.
• If the mare has left the semen base and is due for pregnancy testing, she will be considered in foal as of the last service date, and the Breeder will be invoiced at 42 days post-service unless the Stud is notified otherwise with a valid veterinary certificate confirming a negative pregnancy.
• The Stud, its agents, or affiliated service providers shall have the right to exercise a lien over the mare and/or progeny for any unpaid fees, including the power to sell the mare or foal to recover outstanding debts.
• The Stud reserves the right to report unpaid accounts to the relevant Harness Racing Authority in the event that payment is not made.

4. Live Foal Guarantee

• The Live Foal Guarantee applies only to the Breeder named in the service contract and is strictly non-transferable.
• A return service will be offered if the mare fails to conceive, slips the foal, or the foal is stillborn or dies within 7 days of birth, provided that:
  1) The Stud is notified by phone immediately, with time being of the essence, and
  2) Written confirmation and a veterinary certificate are submitted within 14 days of the foal's death.
• All return services must be used in the breeding season immediately following the original service year and in the country where the mare was bred. The Breeder is responsible for all associated costs, including semen transportation. The return service will be considered fulfilled upon confirmation of a 42-day positive pregnancy test, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Stud.
• If the stallion becomes unavailable, the original service fee may be refunded, less all costs and fees incurred by the Stud, at the discretion of the stallion owner or lessee.
• The Live Foal Guarantee is void if the Breeder is found to have been negligent in the management or care of the mare.

Service fee will be invoiced on 42 day positive test, payable 30 days from the date of invoice.

Semen transport charges will be invoiced seperately
