These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the website located at theschmidtranch.com (the “Site”) and any visit to, or participation in activities at, Schmidt Ranch, operated by Schmidt Ranch LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Schmidt Ranch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site or visiting the ranch, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or visit the ranch.
1. Equine and Livestock Activity Notice
WARNING: Under Utah law, an equine activity sponsor or livestock activity sponsor is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in an equine or livestock activity resulting from the inherent risks of those activities, pursuant to Utah Code Ann. §§ 78B-4-201 through 78B-4-203. Inherent risks include, among other things, the propensity of an animal to behave in ways that may result in injury, the unpredictability of an animal’s reaction to sounds, movements, objects, persons, or other animals, hazards of surface or subsurface conditions, and collisions with other animals or objects. You assume all inherent risks of participating in equine and livestock activities at Schmidt Ranch.
2. Participation Requirements
Participation in any activity at the ranch may be conditioned on your execution of a separate liability release and, for minors, the signature of a parent or legal guardian. We may refuse or discontinue service to anyone whose conduct we judge unsafe for people or animals.
3. No Professional Advice; No Guaranteed Results
Content on the Site and activities at the ranch are provided for general information and recreation. Nothing we provide is medical, therapeutic, veterinary, legal, or financial advice. We make no promise of any particular result from any practice, event, or program, including the future performance, soundness, or suitability of any horse purchased from the ranch.
4. Payments, Cancellations, and Chargebacks
Fees for activities are due as quoted at the time of booking. If you believe a charge is in error, you agree to contact us first at 1 (844) 757-2624 and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue before disputing the charge with your bank or card issuer. Initiating a chargeback without first contacting us and allowing a reasonable opportunity to cure is a material breach of these Terms.
5. Intellectual Property
The Site, the Schmidt Ranch name, crest, and monogram, and all content and photography on the Site are owned by Schmidt Ranch LLC or its licensors and are protected by law. You may not reproduce or use them without our prior written consent.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
Horses offered for sale are sold as-is unless a signed written purchase agreement states otherwise. Buyers are encouraged to arrange a pre-purchase examination by a veterinarian of their choosing.
THE SITE AND ALL RANCH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
7. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SCHMIDT RANCH LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR ANY RANCH SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
8. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Schmidt Ranch LLC and its members, managers, employees, and agents from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your violation of law, or your conduct at the ranch.
9. Binding Arbitration; Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any ranch service shall be resolved exclusively by binding, confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Salt Lake City, Utah, and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND SCHMIDT RANCH EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for infringement of intellectual property rights in a court of competent jurisdiction.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 9.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version posted on the Site, with its “last updated” date, is the version in effect.
