These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the website located at schmidtranchbreeding.com (the “Site”), operated by Schmidt Ranch LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Schmidt Ranch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Site lists our AQHA cutting-bred broodmares with pedigree information and lets you send an embryo booking request. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. Booking Requests Are Inquiries Only
A booking request submitted through the Site is an inquiry. It is not an offer, an order, a reservation, or a contract, and it does not obligate you or us. We may decline any request for any reason or no reason. No payment is taken through the Site. Any sale of an embryo happens only under a separate written agreement signed by you and Schmidt Ranch. If that agreement differs from these Terms, the signed agreement controls.
2. Pedigree and Earnings Information
Pedigree information on the Site is transcribed from AQHA registration certificates. Transcription errors are possible. Earnings figures for ancestors are quoted from third-party published sources, with the date of each source, and may be out of date or wrong. We do not verify or guarantee them. Before you rely on any pedigree or earnings information, verify it with AQHA, NCHA, and Equi-Stat. If you find an error, please tell us at 1 (844) 757-2624 and we will review and correct it.
3. Mare Availability
Mares listed on the Site, and the embryos available from them, can change without notice. A mare may be sold, retired, withdrawn from breeding, or become unavailable for any other reason. Listing a mare is not a promise that embryos from her are or will be available.
4. Equine Activity Notice
If you visit the ranch in connection with a booking request or an embryo agreement, the following notice applies to you. 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.
5. No Professional Advice; No Guaranteed Results
Content on the Site is provided for general information. Nothing on the Site is veterinary, reproductive, legal, tax, or financial advice. We make no promise that any aspiration will yield oocytes, that any embryo will result, that a pregnancy or live foal will result, that a foal will be registrable, or of the future performance, soundness, or sale value of any foal. Assisted reproduction outcomes vary.
6. Payments and Chargebacks
The Site does not process payments. Payment terms for any embryo sale are set in the signed written agreement. If you believe any amount paid to Schmidt Ranch under a breeding or embryo agreement 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.
7. Intellectual Property
The Site, the Schmidt Ranch name, crest, and monogram, and all content 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.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION ON IT, INCLUDING PEDIGREE, EARNINGS, AND AVAILABILITY INFORMATION, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Any warranty on an embryo sale exists only if stated in a signed written agreement.
9. 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 SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US UNDER A SIGNED AGREEMENT 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.
10. 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.
11. Binding Arbitration; Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site 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.
12. 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 11.
13. 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.
