Who Can Use EquestrianApp. The EquestrianApp Platform is available to people residing in the United States who can form legally binding agreements under applicable law. You must be at least 13 years old to access and use the EquestrianApp. We must not have previously disabled your account for violation of any laws or any of our policies. Access to the EquestrianApp Platform may be prohibited in certain countries outside the United States. If you access the EquestrianApp Platform from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations of your territory of access.

Establishing and Maintaining an Account. Certain services offered on the EquestrianApp Platform require you to set up an account. Each user setting up an account on the EquestrianApp Platform is responsible for keeping the account information secret and confidential. You agree that you are solely responsible for any communications or other uses made using your account information, as well as for any obligations, which may result from such use. You are responsible for updating your account information. If We believe the details are not correct, current, or complete, We have the right to refuse you access to the EquestrianApp Platform, or any of its resources and to terminate or suspend your account.

EquestrianApp Premium Services. EquestrianApp Premium Services are offered on a subscription basis and subject to subscription fees. Your subscription fee will be charged to your paypal account. Applicable fees will be charged upon enrollment and renewal. Fees exclude applicable taxes. Initial subscription fee is an introductory price and subject to change. We reserve the right to change the subscription fees at any time upon notice to you. Notice of a change in fees is provided by email. Changes will apply to new subscriptions and renewal of existing subscriptions if you do not cancel. If the eligible payment method on file for you is declined for payment of fees, your subscription may be placed on hold and benefits suspended. If you provide a new eligible payment method and are successfully charged, your subscription and benefits will be reactivated and your new subscription period will be based on the date of the successful change. We reserve the right to terminate your benefits at the end of your applicable subscription term if payment if not received for the applicable subscription.

UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE A RECURRING CHARGE, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) THE CHARGE TO YOUR ACCOUNT TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE FEE AND TAXES.

Free Trials. Subscription services may begin with a free trial. Free trial eligibility is determined by us in our sole discretion, and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. We may use information such as device ID or an account email address used with an existing or recent subscription to determine eligibility. The duration of the free trial period of your subscription and any additional restrictions on your subscription during the free trial period will be specified during sign-up. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold if we determine that you are not eligible. At the end of the free trial period, you will be charged the fee for your next billing cycle, and your subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial or the applicable subscription period.

Cancellation. EquestrianApp Premium subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled by you or SmartBarn. You may cancel your membership and authorization for recurring payments by visiting your App Store Account Settings at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current subscription period. NO REFUNDS for monthly fees after the recurring charge is processed. NO REFUNDS are provided for cancellation during the initial month of subscription. If you cancel an annual subscription, we will refund you a pro rata share of the fee based on the number of unused months (after the current month) left in your subscription term (provided you are in compliance with these Terms). Cancellation is effective at the end of the then-current period for your subscription and you will continue to receive eligible benefits until the effective date of cancellation (provided you are in compliance with these Terms). Lack of activity alone does not automatically terminate your subscription and you remain responsible for fees until you expressly cancel your subscription. We may delete any of your archived data after thirty (30) days following the date of cancellation. If your subscription has not been cancelled and is classified by use as inactive for at least ninety (90) days, we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to permanently delete all of your account data and other data related to your use of the EquestrianApp. In the absence of express cancellation request, you agree to pay all applicable fees through the date of deletion of your data

Privacy and Submissions. Personal information you provide on the EquestrianApp Platform will be used by SmartBarn in accordance with the EquestrianApp Platform’s Privacy Notice. SmartBarn does not intend to accept ideas, concepts or techniques for new services or products through the EquestrianApp Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that any communication or material you transmit to the EquestrianApp Platform, such as questions, comments, ideas, feedback, materials, suggestions or the like (collectively “Submissions”), will be treated as non-confidential and nonproprietary and may be used by SmartBarn for any purpose without notice to you and without any further consent by you.

Community Guidelines. The EquestrianApp Platform provides a convenient means of identifying and connecting with other users. We want the experience to be open and inclusive, but expect users to act responsibly and respectfully when using the EquestrianApp Platform.

You are prohibited from using the EquestrianApp Platform or any of its Content (i) to post or transmit any infringing, threatening, false, misleading, libelous, defamatory, obscene, inflammatory, or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law; (ii) for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Service; (iii) in any manner which could damage or disparage SmartBarn; (iv) in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the EquestrianApp Platform or interfere with any other user’s enjoyment of the EquestrianApp Platform; or (v) to solicit, obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available or provided for through the EquestrianApp Platform.

Tampering with the EquestrianApp Platform, misrepresenting the identity of a user, or conducting fraudulent activities on the EquestrianApp Platform are strictly prohibited. SmartBarn will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or any court order requesting or directing EquestrianApp to disclose the identity of anyone posting or transmitting any such information or materials. You understand and agree that all materials publicly posted or privately transmitted on or through the EquestrianApp Platform are the sole responsibility of the contributor, not SmartBarn. These standards are based on common sense and common courtesy, and ultimately boil down to…”No bullying” and “Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.” Sometimes we have to remove material that does not (in our judgment) follow the Golden Rule.Hopefully we’ll never have to revoke anyone’s posting privileges because of repeated violations and ignored warnings — but we will if we have to!

Play nice! It was a good idea when you were a kid, and it’s still a good idea. In other words, be respectful and civil to others, even in disagreement.

Don’t post any pictures that are not appropriate for a diverse audience. Share files you think others will appreciate, but anything obscene or graphic or that depicts sexual content or nudity is out of bounds.

Don’t participate in, suggest, or encourage anything illegal or that is threatening. Before directly posting articles, images, or other material from other sites, please secure the permission of the relevant copyright owners (if any).

No spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, junk mail, or any similar activities. This is a place for creating connections, but we think you know the difference between connecting and soliciting!

Think twice before posting any private information about yourself that you do not wish to be widely available. Under no circumstances should you share or post anything like a credit card number, and when sharing contact information, it’s best to use a private message.

Please keep in mind that community members may claim expertise or status (legal, medical, etc.) that they don’t actually possess.

Be mindful when posting newsworthy events.

The views expressed by community members on the site do not necessarily reflect the views of our company.

Reporting Issues. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines or the Terms of Service, please help us by using our reporting option. Decisions to remove posts or disable user accounts are exercised in our sole discretion. Remember, you may see content or posts you don’t like, but that don’t violate our policies.
