Article 7. Auction Items 
7.1 Each auction lot contains either a number of bulls and or pregnancies and or implanted embryos not checked for pregnancy. A first choice bull calf is being sold.
7.2 The choice needs to be made before the youngest bull of the group reaches the age of 3 months unless genomic test results are not available due to a failure of either the consigner or sale management.
7.3 The selected bull(s) has/have to leave the sellers place no later than when the bull(s) reaches the age of 8 months. If not, the seller has the right to ask for a daily allowance of € 5,-- per day per bull.
7.4 Any fees charged by the USA based CDBC (Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding) or similar organizations worldwide for genomic updates or activating the genomic index on auctioned bulls, will be paid for by the buyer. The buyer therefore will bear all future obligations that go with using official GTPI’s or other indexes in marketing auctioned bulls. The Diamond Genetics B.V. nor the seller do not accept any future claims or contributions to be paid to the CDCB or similar organizations.
7.5 Buying a first choice on this auction means that the buyer is obliged to pay invoices for auction price, sales commission and applicable costs. Also in those cases that the genomic index of the first choice bull does not meet buyers standards, the buyer stays obliged to pay for the bull(s) involved and additional expenses.
7.6. Diamond Genetics B.V. and the consigners have double checked and carefully listed the number of pregnancies and, if applicable, the sex of the pregnancies. Both Diamond Genetics B.V. and the consigners cannot be held responsible for any omissions. If any omissions in the number of pregnancies or sex should occur then this cannot be a reason to withdraw from a purchase.
7.7. First units of semen: The seller may require a certain number of units of semen. The number of units required is stated on the auction page for that individual lot. These units need to be the first to be produced, need to be conventional (NOT SEXED) and should be supplied free of charge and without limitations on use and distribution. The seller will inform the buyer where the units of semen need to be shipped to. The buyer pays the costs involved with exporting and delivering these units. Only if the bull fails to produce semen this sellers right will become invalid.
7.8 Buyers are not allowed to change the prefix and/or name of the bulls sold without written permission of the sellers.


Article 8. Guarantees and export 
8.1 Bulls are being sold under INCOTERMS 2010 EX Works. This means once a bull has passed the health tests (article 8.2) , meets the veterinarian requirements as written in these conditions and the bull is officially allowed to get exported (see article 8.6, 8.6.1 and 8.6.2) it is the responsibility of the buyer to get the bull to it’s final destination. As an extra service Diamond Genetics can assist in exporting bulls to it’s final destination. For managing the export of bulls a fee of EUR750,--/bull will be charged plus all trucking, export and quarantine expenses.
8.2 Bulls offered for selection are to be sound and in good health. Prior to the delivery the bulls are tested negative for IBR gB and BVD Virus. Bulls have two testicles and have no umbilical hernia. A purchase is valid when the bull mentioned in the catalog is full filling the veterinarian tests written above. For first choice bulls sold the purchase is valid when then the minimum number of bulls guaranteed is full filling the veterinarian standards above.
8.3 Diamond Genetics B.V. does its utmost to inform about the status for BLAD, Brachyspina and CVM. However, if auctioned bulls turn out to be carriers after the auction, this will not influence the selling price of the first choice bull calf.
8.4 The ownership risks of the bulls transfers from the seller to the purchaser at the point the bull leaves the location of the seller. Transport to the new location on purchasers request will change the ownership risks to the purchaser, which will include transport to quarantine barn, housing in quarantine barn and transport to facilities of the purchaser.
This article is in accordance with INCO 2010 Terms Ex Works.
8.5 The seller and Diamond Genetics B.V. do not give any kind of semen production guarantee.
8.6 Export restriction or restrictions on a specific farm where the bulls are being held can be a reason to postpone the export. If it is not possible to export the sold bull before the age of 10 months the buyer has the right to cancel the purchase.
8.6.1 The bulls sold within the European Union have to be able to move to an AI company or Semen Collection Centre in one of the following countries; Spain, France, England, Germany, Italy, Czech, Hungary, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia and or Ireland.
8.6.2 The bulls sold within the United States or Canada have to be able to move to an AI company or Semen Collection Centre in Canada or the United States.
8.7 If a lot sells with a guarantee of a number of bulls to choose from, the seller guarantees that this number of bulls will be offered to the buyer.
8.8 If the guaranteed minimum number of bulls is not available, the buyer has the right to cancel the purchase after genomic testing the bulls that are offered to him as part of this agreement. In case the buyer cancels the purchase, he is being reimbursed for his 25% down payment. The sale commission will not be reimbursed.


Article 9. Bids 
9.1 The auction will work with the 3 - minute rule. Each time someone bids within the last 3 minutes of an auction, the closing time is extended by another 3 minutes until no more bids are placed.
9.2 The auction will also work with a proxy-bid. With a proxy bid the user indicates the maximum price that he is willing to pay for the lot. The auction system will automatically increase the bidders bid if he is outbid by another bidder. This process continues automatically until the bidders maximum bid is reached. If another bidder places a static bid equal to the maximum of the bidders earlier placed automatic bid, the automatic bid comes first (an automatic bid beats the static bid).
9.3 All bid amounts are stated in Euros.
9.4 Up to a bid of € 10.000,--, the bids will increase with € 250,-- increments. After a bid of € 10.000,-- is placed, the bids will increase with € 500,-- (bid increment).


Article 10. Auction commission, V.A.T. and payment terms 
10.1 The buyers auction commission is 10% on top of the successful bid. Where the buyer has to be charged V.A.T. this will be added to the auction commission.
10.2 The price bid for the bulls does not include transport or export costs. Where V.A.T. has to be charged this will be added to the auction price.
10.3 The buyer receives an invoice after the sale. The invoice need to be paid within 30 days after the date of invoice.
10.4 If for any reason no sound bulls become available to the buyer, the payment made will be refunded to the buyer. The sale commission will not be refunded.


Article 11. Statement of Diamond Genetics B.V..
11.1 Diamond Genetics B.V. emphasize that the auction organization (i.e. Diamond Genetics B.V.) has no access and will also not do anything to get access to the proxy bids.
This to ensure an honest and equal bidding procedure. Any abuse of this by any party will be seen as a criminal act and handed to the responsible authorities.
11.2 Diamond Genetics B.V., her sister companies and its employees have the right to act as a buyer and a seller in the auction.


Article 12. Applicable law

12.2 The Dutch text of the General Terms and Conditions for the User is the original text. In the event that the General Terms and Conditions for the User are used in several languages, the Dutch text will therefore be given preference in case of lack of clarity or contradictions.
