    Genetics guarantees?

    So this topic came up recently at work, and it got me wondering.....this is aimed toward all the honest breeders out there who guarantee genetics on there 100% het animals. So, say a person gets a 100% het clown,pied, ghost, etc. They raise it up, and breed it for two seasons in a row to a homozygous counterpart and produce no eggs that contain the morph? How long does the guarantee go on for? Do you refund their money and take the animal back? Offer them a homozygous instead? Tell them they have horrible rotten luck? I mean, by then the animal in question could be 5 years old! A het hatchling and a het adult esp female, have very different market values. What then? Keeping it simple, the example would be a person who legitimately bred said animals, had pics and proof of locks, mom on eggs, pipping, etc, but NO morph produced. I mean, im assuming that this possibly has happened, albeit rare....maybe they did have rotten horrible luck, or even as an honest breeder made a mistake? Just wondering if this type of situation has ever happened to you or someone you know, and how they handled it.
