Terms of Conditions and Use
This only governs the use of the website.
BarnWiz provides this website (the “Site”) and the services offered on it (collectively, the “Services”) under the following terms and conditions of service and use (the “Terms”). Please read them carefully. Please also note that this is not your listing agreement (“Listing Agreement”), which must be used by any user seeking to list a barn or stall; in the event of a conflict between the provisions of a Listing Agreement you enter into and the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Listing Agreement shall in all respects be controlling. You understand and acknowledge that the Services are provided to you exclusively under these Terms. By accessing and using the Services, you agree that you have read and understand the Terms and that you agree to be bound by them, without limitation or qualification and acknowledge that no signatures are required in connection with the terms for you to be fully bound by them. As used with the Services, the terms “you” refers to all users of this Site, the terms “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to BarnWiz or its affiliates, agents, or strategic partners and other third parties that it engages with. “Leasers” refers to users who list their properties on this Site. “Lessees” refers to users who register to utilize BarnWiz to consider your barn or training service or schedule a barn visit appointment with a “Leaser.” “Customers” refers to all users of the Service, including without limitation listing their properties on the Site.
The purpose of this Site is to allow users to offer, provide, sell and buy goods or services related to barns and the animals kept there as well as training services (the “Services”). The actual contract for Services is directly between the provider and buyer. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, BarnWiz has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of the Services advertised by users; the truth or accuracy of users' content or listings; the ability of the providers to provide the Services; the ability of buyers to pay; or that a buyer or provider will actually complete a transaction or return an item. These Terms apply to all users of this Site. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, do not access this Site, use the Services, or post any listings on this Site. This Site is owned and operated by BarnWiz LLC, a Virginia Limited Liability Corporation.
BarnWiz may change the Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any such changes via email and/or by posting the changes on the BarnWiz Site. Each time you access the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the Terms then present on the Site and in effect. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Services. Continued use of the Services following notice of any such changes shall indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes, without limitation or qualification.
As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide certain personal information to us. All uses of your personal information will be in accordance with the provisions of our Privacy Policy, which is available on our Site (www.barnwiz.com). Given the nature of the services provided by BarnWiz, all property listing information submitted by you will be treated in a non-confidential manner.
Use of Information: We request information from you for our own legitimate business purposes, such as advertisement, and not for the benefit of any nonaffiliated party. Therefore, we will not release your information to nonaffiliated parties except: (1) as necessary for us to provide the product or service you have requested of us; or (2) as permitted by law. We may, however, store such information indefinitely, including the period after which any customer relationship has ceased. Such information may be used for any internal purpose, such as quality control efforts or customer analysis.

We recommend that you memorize this information, and not write it down. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your username and password or any other breach of security related to the Services. WE CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY SAFEGUARD YOUR USERNAME AND/OR PASSWORD, YOUR SHARING OF SAME WITH OTHERS, A BREACH OF SUCH INFORMATION BY A THIRD PARTY, OR YOUR FAILURE TO OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION.

All arbitrations shall be held in Loudoun County or Fairfax County, VA unless another venue is agreed upon by both parties.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and BarnWiz must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Loudoun County, VA. You and BarnWiz agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Loudoun County, VA for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

The foregoing does not apply to Content contained on hyperlinked pages or any other Content you do not submit to us.
The Terms constitute the entire and exclusive and final statement of the agreement between you and BarnWiz with respect to the subject matter hereof, and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements or negotiations between you and BarnWiz with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Terms and the relationship between you and BarnWiz shall be governed by the laws of the State of Virginia, with the exception of conflict of law principles, as applied to agreements made, entered into and performed, notwithstanding your actual place of residence. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
We reserve the right to modify or temporarily discontinue the Services (or any part thereof) or to permanently discontinue operation of the Site with or without notice to you. Modification of the Services can include, but is not limited to, any change to the Site or content contained therein, changes to the administrative tools or functionality of the Site, modification of the “look and feel” of the Site, changes to the format of a property listing or any other part of the Site, and the inclusion of advertising links in association with a property listing or other content available on the Site. Temporary discontinuance of the Services could be for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, technical issues that require or result in short-term Service outages. We shall not be liable to you or any third party if we exercise our right to modify or temporarily discontinue the Services or permanently discontinue operation of the Site. If you object to any modifications to the services, your sole and exclusive recourse shall be to cease using the services. Continued use of the services following notice of and/or posting as part of these terms of any such modifications shall indicate your acknowledgment of such modifications and satisfaction with the services as so modified.
BarnWiz’s (and its licensors’) proprietary rights (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to the Services Content and the Services shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Terms for any reason.
