2006 New York Code - Animal Pedigree Registration.

 
    §  753-c.  Animal  pedigree  registration. 1. Representation regarding
  animal's pedigree registration. Any pet dealer who states, promises,  or
  represents  that an animal is registered or capable of registration with
  an animal pedigree registry organization  shall  provide  the  purchaser
  with  the  appropriate  documents necessary for such registration within
  one hundred twenty days following sale of the animal. If  the  purchaser
  notifies the pet dealer in writing on or before such time that he or she
  has  not received the appropriate registration documents, the pet dealer
  shall have, in addition to the one hundred twenty days, sixty more  days
  in which to provide the appropriate documents.
    2.  If  a  pet  dealer  fails  to  provide documents as required under
  subdivision one of this section, the purchaser, upon written  notice  to
  the  pet  dealer,  may  keep  the animal and receive a partial refund of
  seventy-five percent of the purchase  price,  in  which  event  the  pet
  dealer   shall  not  be  required  to  provide  registration  documents.
  Acceptance by  the  purchaser  of  appropriate  registration  documents,
  whether  or  not within the time periods set forth in subdivision one of
  this section, shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a partial  refund
  pursuant to this subdivision.
    3.  Registration  notice-disclosure  statement.  (a) A pet dealer that
  sells animals registered or registrable with a pedigree  registry  shall
  post conspicuously within close proximity to those animals a notice that
  states:  "Pedigree  registration  means  that  the  particular  registry
  maintains information on the parentage and identity of the animal".
    (b) For every animal sold by a  pet  dealer  that  is  sold  with  the
  representation  that  the  animal  is  registered or registrable with an
  animal pedigree registry organization,  the  following  fully  completed
  disclosure  shall  be  made  by  the  pet  dealer  in writing on a sheet
  separate from any other statement in substantially the  following  form:
  "Disclosure  of Animal pedigree registration: Description of animal: The
  animal you are purchasing is registered/registrable  (circle  one)  with
  the  (enter  name  of  registry). Registration means that (enter name of
  registry) maintains information regarding the parentage and identity  of
  this animal. Persons buying animals represented by a pet dealer as being
  registrable  are  entitled  to  the  papers  necessary  to  effect  such
  registration within 120 days of purchase. Failure to provide such papers
  entitles the purchaser to remedies under law. However, if the  purchaser
  notifies the pet dealer within the 120 day period that he or she has not
  received  such  papers,  the pet dealer shall have an additional 60 days
  commencing at the end of the 120 day period  in  which  to  provide  the
  documents. Acknowledged:  Date: Purchaser's Signature."
    (c)  The  disclosure shall be signed and dated by the purchaser of the
  animal, acknowledging receipt of a copy of the statement. The pet dealer
  shall retain a copy of the signed disclosure.
