Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

woudl like feedback on a payment plan contract
Hey, folks, I'm trying to write out some documents for my store, including one for payment plans. (This is for walk-in customers, not online sales.) I'd appreciate feedback.
This document is a payment agreement between the seller, Siren Fish & Reptiles and the buyer, __________________________________________________ ________
This payment plan is for ________________________________________________
valued at _______________________________________.
A ____% non-refundable down payment ($________) will be made at the signing of this contract. The balance ($__________) will be paid in full over the term of _____________________. The animal will be held at Siren until fully paid for.
All payments made toward the animal, including the deposit, are non-refundable and will not be returned if the animal is not paid in full. Siren may, at its discretion, choose to allow the buyer to apply already-made payments towards another animal or dry goods. The only exception will be if the animal dies or becomes otherwise unsellable while in the care of Siren, in which case a full refund will be issued.
Siren Fish & Reptiles _________________________________ Date: ____________
Buyer name (printed) Signature
__________________________ __________________________ Date: ____________

What happens if either party dies?
What happens if the critter gets sick while payments are being made? Who pays vet costs? If it is a significant illness, may the buyer request and get a refund?
If the critter is pg and lays/births during the time payments are being made, who is entitled to the offspring?
What happens if the buyer defaults on the last payment due to illness or other issues beyond his/her control but is willing to make another payment?
In contract: buyer must not be a minor
In contract: If buyer does not make payments and does not make contact for x amount of days, the contract is void (This prevents a buyer from making one payment and then showing up ten months later and expecting that the critter is still being held for him/her.)
In contract: Photo of critter which both parties sign, so that buyer cannot claim he/she is getting a different critter than the one she/she contracted for when payments are complete.
Note: One contract should be made for each critter. Some jurisdictions have statutory language that applies to layaways preventing a payment from automatically being spread over all items so that a seller cannot call a default on every item when enough has been paid in to fully pay for at least one.
Note: Final date should not fall on a day when the pet store is closed, or a national/state holiday.
Note: As long as parties are ready willing and able to complete the contract, a force majeur will not void the contract and buyer may still claim and pay for his/her critter at the first reasonable opportunity to do so.
Dispute resolution, court or arbitration?
Dispute resolution, which state's law governs?
Limitation of damages clause.
