Platform Terms of Service (for Breeders)

Effective September 1, 2026 · Last updated September 1, 2026

These Platform Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Nine8 Online LLC, doing business as HorseBreederSites.com ("HorseBreederSites," "we," "us," or "our"). They cover your use of our breeder website platform, which includes:

  • your website at a breeder.horse subdomain (your "Breeder Site");
  • the online portal where you sign in to manage your Breeder Site (the "Portal"); and
  • related setup, hosting, and managed services (together, the "Service").

"You" means the breeder, farm, or business that signs up, and the person accepting these Terms on its behalf.

You accept these Terms when you check the acceptance box at signup, sign a Service Agreement that references them, or use the Service.

If you and we sign a separate Service Agreement, it controls over these Terms if the two conflict. This applies to build scope, pricing, term, cancellation, and handling of data and domains when service ends.

1. Eligibility and accounts

  • You must be at least 18, located in the United States, and using the Service for a breeding or equine business.
  • Give us accurate account information and keep it up to date.
  • Keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at info@horsebreedersites.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

2. The Service

We build, host, and maintain your Breeder Site and provide the Portal for managing horses, listings, and inquiries. Features may change over time. We will not materially reduce the core functions of a plan you have paid for during a paid term without notice.

Subdomains. Your breeder.horse subdomain is licensed to you for as long as your subscription is active. It is not transferable. We own the breeder.horse domain. If you connect a custom domain you own, it stays yours.

Availability. We aim for reliable uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance, and our hosting providers may have outages.

3. Fees, billing, and automatic renewal

  • Build fee. A one-time setup fee is charged before we begin building your site. Once work has started, the build fee is non-refundable.
  • Subscription plans. You choose a monthly or annual plan at signup. Fees are billed in advance through Stripe to the payment method you provide. Monthly plans bill each month. Annual plans bill once per year.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each term — every month on a monthly plan, or every year on an annual plan — at the then-current rate for that plan, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time online in the Portal with one click, or by emailing info@horsebreedersites.com. Cancellation stops the next renewal and takes effect at the end of your current term. There is no minimum commitment beyond the term you chose, unless your Service Agreement states one.

  • Annual renewal reminder. For annual plans, we will email you 25 to 40 days before your renewal date. The email will state the renewal date, the amount, and how to cancel.
  • Switching plans. You can switch from monthly to annual at any time; the change applies at your next billing date unless we agree otherwise. Switching from annual to monthly takes effect at the end of your annual term.
  • Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before any price increase takes effect. On an annual plan, the new price applies only when your plan next renews.
  • Refunds. Fees are non-refundable for partial terms, except where required by law. If you cancel an annual plan, your service continues through the end of the year you paid for. If we end the Service without cause, we refund any prepaid fees for the unused part of your term (see Section 10).
  • Taxes. Fees do not include taxes. You are responsible for applicable sales or use taxes.
  • Late payment. If a payment fails and is not resolved within 14 days of our notice, we may suspend your Breeder Site until payment is made.

4. Your content

You own your content. This includes everything you or we add to your Breeder Site on your behalf: horse records, pedigrees, registration numbers, photos, videos, text, prices, and farm information ("Your Content").

License to us. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, copy, format, display, and transmit Your Content. This license is only for providing, securing, and supporting the Service. It ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for backup copies that are deleted on their normal cycle.

Our marketing. We will not use your name, farm, logo, Breeder Site, or Your Content in our marketing unless you give us prior written permission by email. You may withdraw that permission at any time by email, and we will stop new uses within a reasonable time.

Your responsibilities for content. You represent that:

  • you own or have permission to use Your Content, including photos and videos taken by others;
  • registry, pedigree, health, genetic-testing, performance, and ownership information you provide is accurate and not misleading; and
  • Your Content complies with applicable law and with the rules of any breed registry you reference.

We do not verify registry, pedigree, health, or genetic information. Registry and pedigree data comes from public lookups or from you. We do not connect to registry APIs or data sources.

AI-assisted content. We may use AI tools to help draft or format horse information, such as descriptions and pedigree layouts. We send those tools only horse information, never personal information about you or your site visitors. You are responsible for reviewing and approving content before it is published.

5. Your relationship with your site visitors and buyers

Your Breeder Site is your business. You are its operator. You, not we, are responsible for:

  • your dealings with site visitors, prospective buyers, mare owners, and anyone who contacts you;
  • all sales, breeding contracts, stallion services, deposits, payments, shipping, health guarantees, and disputes;
  • how you respond to inquiries, including calls or texts to visitors. You must follow applicable laws, including telemarketing, anti-spam, and consumer-protection laws.
  • keeping your site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use accurate. We provide templates that name you as the operator. You may ask us to adjust them for your business.

No payments between you and visitors. The Service does not collect, hold, or process funds between you and your visitors or buyers. Nine8 Online LLC is not a party to, broker of, or guarantor of any transaction or agreement between you and anyone you meet through your Breeder Site.

6. Visitor inquiries and data processing

Your Breeder Site includes an inquiry form. It collects a visitor's name, email, optional phone number, and message. Inquiries are stored in your Portal, and we notify you of new ones by email and, if you opt in, by text.

For inquiry data and other personal information of your visitors ("Visitor Data"):

  • You are the owner and controller. We are your service provider. We process Visitor Data only to provide the Service to you, according to your instructions and these Terms.
  • We access Visitor Data only to troubleshoot, maintain, or secure the Service, or when the law requires.
  • We do not sell Visitor Data. We do not use it for our own marketing, contact visitors, or share it except with our hosting, email, and messaging providers that deliver the Service.
  • We keep Visitor Data confidential and protect it with reasonable safeguards.
  • If we learn of a breach affecting Visitor Data, we will notify you without undue delay so you can meet any notice duties you have.
  • If a visitor contacts us about their data, we will refer them to you. We will reasonably help you respond to privacy requests you receive.
  • When your account ends, we delete Visitor Data along with your other account data (see Section 10).

Our current service providers are listed in our Privacy Policy. We may add or change providers that give the same or better protection.

7. Notifications and text messages

By opting in to text alerts in the Portal, you agree to receive automated text messages from HorseBreederSites about new inquiries and account matters at the number you provide.

  • Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
  • Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help.
  • Consent to texts is not a condition of purchase. You can always receive notifications by email instead.
  • Mobile opt-in data is never shared with third parties for marketing.

We also send service emails, such as receipts, security notices, and changes to these Terms. You cannot opt out of these while your account is active.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • post content that is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes anyone's rights;
  • misrepresent a horse's identity, registration, pedigree, health, ownership, or genetic status;
  • sell or advertise anything other than horses, breeding services, and related equine goods and services without our approval;
  • send spam or unlawful messages;
  • upload malware, probe or attack our systems, or access other breeders' data; or
  • resell or sublicense the Service without our written permission.

We may remove content that violates these Terms and, where appropriate, suspend or terminate accounts.

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement as described in our Website Terms of Use. If we receive a valid notice about Your Content, we may remove it and will tell you. You may send a counter-notice if you believe the removal was a mistake. We will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Cancellation, suspension, and termination

  • By you: cancel at any time as described in Section 3.
  • By us: we may suspend or terminate the Service if you materially breach these Terms and don't fix the problem within 14 days of notice. We may act immediately for illegal activity, security threats, or serious fraud. We may also end the Service for any reason with 30 days' notice and a prorated refund of prepaid fees.
  • After termination: your Breeder Site goes offline at the end of your paid period. For 30 days after that, you may ask us for an export of Your Content. After 30 days, we delete Your Content and Visitor Data from active systems. Backups are deleted on their normal cycle. Your Service Agreement may set different terms.

11. Confidentiality

Each of us will protect the other's non-public business information and use it only to perform under these Terms.

12. Our intellectual property

The platform, software, templates, designs, and HorseBreederSites branding belong to Nine8 Online LLC. Except for your rights in Your Content, these Terms do not transfer any ownership to you. Site designs and templates are licensed for use on the Service only.

13. Disclaimers

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY LEVEL OF INQUIRIES, SALES, BOOKINGS, SEARCH RANKINGS, OR BUSINESS RESULTS.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW:

  • (a) NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA.
  • (b) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limits do not apply to your payment obligations or your indemnity obligations.

15. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify Nine8 Online LLC, and its owners and contractors, against third-party claims, losses, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from:

  • Your Content;
  • your dealings or transactions with visitors, buyers, or other third parties;
  • your communications with people who contact you; or
  • your violation of these Terms or the law.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, each party agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after written notice.

If the dispute is not resolved, it will be decided exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Weld County, Colorado. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.

Each party waives the right to a jury trial and to bring or join any class or representative action, to the extent permitted by law.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will notify you by email or in the Portal at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the effective date. Continued use after that date means you accept the changes.

18. General

  • Notices to us go to info@horsebreedersites.com or 16901 Potts Place, Mead, CO 80542. Notices to you go to your account email.
  • You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business.
  • Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
  • If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A failure to enforce a provision does not waive it.
  • These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any Service Agreement are the entire agreement between us about the Service.
