Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Cancel

A $200 deposit to hold a puppy was given, and then when the puppy was ready to go home, they canceled after I stated cash as final payment. Total purchase price was $800. Now they want the deposit back. All I gave them was a receipt of deposit and $600 balance due at time of pick up with a specified date, which they did not meet. I sold the puppy for $650 (less then the original $800 advertised price). Do I have to give her any refund, full or the difference of gain?

Thank you for your time

Re: Cancel

You probably have to give them the full $200, but I can't give you a more definite answer because you haven't provided enough facts. I would need to knoe the terms of your original agreement, the form of payment in which you accepted the deposit, the first buyers' reason for canceling (if you know it), the reason you didn't get the same price from the second buyer and whether you tried to get the puppy's full value before accepting less.
