HorseIQ

 

TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT

This Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity and the American Paint Horse Association (“APHA”) and its affiliated company concerning your access to and use of the HorseIQ (www.horseiq.com) website as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related or connected thereto.  The HorseIQ website is an online educational judging tool.  Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on HorseIQ from time to time, are hereby expressly incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

HorseIQ makes no representation that the website is appropriate or available in other locations other than where it is operated by the APHA.  The information provided on HorseIQ is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject HorseIQ to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.  Accordingly, those persons who choose to access HorseIQ from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use HorseIQ.  If you are a minor, you must have your parent or guardian read and agree to this Agreement prior to using HorseIQ.  

 

PURCHASES; PAYMENT

HorseIQ bills you through an online billing account for purchases of its subscription.  You agree to pay HorseIQ all charges at the price then in effect for the subscription or other persons using your billing account may purchase, and you authorize HorseIQ to charge your chosen payment provider for any such purchases.  You agree to make payment using that selected payment method.  You consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis, without requiring your prior approval from you for each recurring charge until such time as you cancel the applicable product or service.  HorseIQ reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.  All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars.

 

REFUND POLICY

All sales are final and no refunds shall be issued. Student seats purchased with the Horse Judging Team Package must be used within one (1) year of the purchase date. Unused student seats are not subject to refund.
