This Agreement is entered into by and between Stohlman Stock Solutions (SSS) and Owner/Agent (Owner), as identified below, collectively “the Parties.” The Parties agree the Owner intends to store frozen semen or embryos in proper storage containers owned by SSS that meet generally accepted industry standards.
Storage
Semen or embryos stored by SSS are required to be properly labeled. When the semen or embryos arrive, the owner will provide SSS with a list detailing identification and quantities. At this point, with the use of a liquid nitrogen work area, SSS will inventory product and notify the owner of any discrepancies. SSS is not responsible nor liable for the owner’s deficiently labeled or packaged product.
Fees
A pre-payment of $25 is required for all new accounts. A $0.15/straw, minimum of $15, storage fee will be charged at the beginning of each month. Prices are subject to change.
Release of Liability and Warranties
- The parties recognize and agree that there are multiple risks inherent to the storage and shipment of semen and embryos.

- Owner further agrees that SSS will not provide any insurance coverage on any of the owner’s semen or embryos stored; and SSS is further, release from any and all liability for risk of damage or loss for any reason including but not limited to tank failure, death, acts of God, injuries or damages resulting from care and handling, and natural disasters.
