. No refund, replacement, or reimbursement of veterinary fees
shall be made under Section 122070 if any of the following
conditions exist:
(a) The illness, condition, or death resulted from maltreatment or
neglect or from an injury sustained or an illness or condition
contracted subsequent to the delivery of the dog to the purchaser.
(b) The purchaser fails to carry out the recommended treatment
prescribed by the examining veterinarian who made the initial
diagnosis. However, this subdivision shall not apply if the cost for
the treatment together with the veterinarian's fee for the diagnosis
would exceed the purchase price of the dog, plus sales tax.
(c) A veterinarian's statement was provided to the purchaser
pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) of
Section 122050 that disclosed the disease, illness, or condition for
which the purchaser seeks to return the dog. However, this
subdivision shall not apply if, within one year after the purchaser
took physical possession of the dog, a veterinarian licensed in this
state states in writing that the disease, illness, or condition
requires, or is likely in the future to require, hospitalization or
nonelective surgical procedures or that the disease, illness, or
condition resulted in the death of the dog.
(d) The purchaser refuses to return to the breeder all documents
previously provided to the purchaser for the purpose of registering
the dog. This subdivision shall not apply if the purchaser signs a
statement certifying that the documents have been inadvertently lost
or destroyed.
