Terms of Service

Effective date: May 4, 2026 Version: 1.0 Last updated: May 4, 2026

Recitals

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Feeders to Field LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Feeders to Field," "we," "us," or "our").

"You" or "your" means the individual using the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or operation, "you" also includes that business.

"Services" means our livestock marketplace at feederstofield.com and app.feederstofield.com, along with any related features, tools, communications, and pages we operate at those domains.

By creating an account or otherwise using the Services, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't accept them, don't use the Services.

1. Eligibility

To use Feeders to Field, you need to meet a few basic conditions.

You are at least 18 years old. The Services are not for minors. We don't knowingly allow anyone under 18 to sign up or transact, and you confirm you are 18 or older when you create your account.

You are based in the United States. Feeders to Field is built for U.S. livestock operations and currently operates only in the United States. We don't support international users at this time.

You have the legal capacity to enter this agreement. You are not under a guardianship, court order, or other legal restriction that prevents you from agreeing to these Terms.

If you sign up on behalf of a business or operation, you have authority to bind it. Many ranches, breeding operations, and hauling outfits are organized as LLCs, partnerships, or sole proprietorships. If your account represents one of those, you confirm you have the authority to agree to these Terms on its behalf, and these Terms bind both you personally and the operation you represent.

We may ask you to confirm any of the above at any time, and we may suspend or close your account if we have reason to believe these conditions aren't met.

2. Account creation, security, and suspension

Creating an account. When you sign up, you give us your name, email address, and your role on the platform (breeder, operator, or hauler). You confirm you are 18 or older. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current — if your email, operation name, or role changes, you update it.

How sign-in works. Feeders to Field does not use passwords. When you sign in, we send a one-time link to the email address on your account. You click the link, and you are in. Our Privacy Policy explains how the link is generated and stored.

Because there is no password, the security of your Feeders to Field account depends on the security of your email inbox. If someone has access to your email, they can sign in as you. Treat your inbox accordingly — a strong password, two-factor authentication with your email provider, and no shared access with people you wouldn't trust to act for you.

You are responsible for activity on your account. Listings created, quotes submitted, messages sent, jobs accepted — anything done while signed into your account is your responsibility, unless you have already notified us of unauthorized access.

If you suspect unauthorized access. Email us at hello@feederstofield.com as soon as you can. We can lock the account, expire any active sign-in links, and help you investigate. The sooner you tell us, the more we can do.

Suspension and termination. We may suspend or close your account if we believe you have violated these Terms, broken applicable law, put other users at risk, or created a serious risk to the platform's integrity. Where reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. Where the situation is urgent — fraud in progress, a safety threat, a court order — we may suspend immediately and explain afterward.

Inactivity. If your account goes 24 months without a sign-in, we may close it after sending a 30-day warning email to your address on file. You can reopen a closed account by signing up again with the same email address; whether your prior listings or transaction history are restored is at our discretion.

3. What Feeders to Field is and isn't

Feeders to Field is a marketplace. We connect three groups of people:

• Breeders — people and operations selling livestock.
• Operators — people and operations buying livestock for their own herds.
• Haulers — people and operations moving livestock between sellers and buyers.

We give those groups tools to find each other, list animals or jobs, send quotes, exchange messages, and close deals. Feeders to Field may also host listings for equipment, trailers, or other assets offered for loan or rent between users. That is what we do.

Here is what we are not:

We are not a party to your transaction. When a breeder sells animals to an operator, or an operator hires a hauler, the deal is between those users. We are not on either side. We do not sign a bill of sale. We do not take title to the animals.

We do not buy, sell, broker, or transport livestock. We do not own animals. We do not pick them up. We do not deliver them. Animals never come into our possession at any point.

We do not take custody of equipment, trailers, or other assets. When the platform hosts asset-loan or rental listings, we do not own those assets, store them, inspect them, transfer them between users, or insure them. The bulletin-board posture is the same as for livestock and hauling jobs: we provide the listing and the messaging tools; the parties handle the asset, the agreement, and the handoff themselves.

We do not handle money in V1. When payment processing launches at V1.5, money will flow between users through our payment partner. We may charge a service fee for running that flow. The fee does not make us a buyer, seller, or guarantor of the underlying deal — it makes us a payments intermediary, the same way a credit card processor is.

We do not control or warrant what users post. Listings, photos, quotes, messages, and other user content are created by users, not by us. We do not independently verify that an animal is healthy, that a hauler is reliable, that a price is fair, or that a description is accurate. Verification badges, where they exist, do a narrow job — see Section 10 — and are not a substitute for your own diligence.

We do not guarantee that any listing will result in a sale, or that any quote will be accepted. The marketplace is a place to meet, not a promise that a deal will close.

You transact at your own risk. Inspect animals, check brands, verify haulers, get health certificates, and use your own judgment the same way you would at a sale barn or in a private deal off the platform. We provide the marketplace; you provide the deal.

If a transaction goes wrong — a sick animal, a no-show hauler, a buyer who doesn't pay — we may help where we reasonably can (see dispute resolution in Section 15), but we are not financially or legally responsible for the outcome of any user-to-user deal.

4. User roles and obligations

When you sign up, you pick a role: breeder, operator, or hauler. Each role comes with its own promises about who you are and what you list. You may use the platform in more than one role over time; the obligations below apply in whichever role you are acting in for a given listing or transaction.

Breeders

If you list animals for sale on Feeders to Field, you represent and agree that:

• You own the animals you list, or you have legal authority from the owner to sell them.
• Your listings are accurate as to breed, age, sex, weight, count, location, and any other material detail. Photos depict the actual animals or representative animals from the same group.
• You comply with applicable Colorado brand inspection law (and equivalent law in any other state where you operate or sell from). Brand inspection compliance is your responsibility, not ours.
• If your operation requires a livestock dealer license, livestock auction license, or any other state or federal license to sell the animals you list, you hold the required license and are in good standing.
• You list and price in good faith — no fake listings, no decoy listings to test the market, no listings of animals you don't actually intend to sell.

Operators

If you sign up as an operator (buyer), you represent and agree that:

• You have the legal right to receive livestock at your stated operation address. That includes any required premise registration, lease arrangement, or owner consent.
• Biosecurity at your receiving operation is your responsibility. You will quarantine new arrivals as appropriate, follow your state animal health authority's guidance, and not commingle new animals with your existing herd until you are satisfied that doing so is safe.
• You comply with applicable receiving-end requirements — premise ID where required, brand inspection on receipt where applicable, and any quarantine or testing rules your state imposes.
• You buy in good faith — no decoy quotes, no offers you don't intend to honor.

Haulers

If you sign up as a hauler, the obligations in Section 6 apply to you in addition to the general obligations in this Section 4. Section 6 contains the DOT, insurance, biosecurity, and animal-welfare promises specific to hauling.

Communication on the platform

Feeders to Field includes messaging tools so users can talk through the details of a transaction inside the platform. A few rules apply to platform messaging.

Pre-quote messaging restriction (haulers). If you are a hauler, you cannot send messages to an operator before submitting a quote on that operator's job. Pre-quote questions go in the quote's message field. This rule exists so operators are not flooded with cold outreach before haulers have committed a price and terms.

Auto-archive of losing threads. When an operator accepts one quote on a job, the message threads associated with the other (losing) quotes are automatically archived. Losing haulers receive an email notification of the outcome. Archived threads remain readable but are removed from the active inbox.

Admin access to threads — dispute-only, with disclosure. Feeders to Field staff do not read user-to-user messages in the ordinary course of operating the platform. Staff access threads only when (a) a participant files a formal dispute, (b) a DMCA notice or law-enforcement request requires it, or (c) a user has reported safety or fraud concerns about the thread itself. When a staff member joins a thread for review, the platform posts a system message in the thread disclosing that staff is now reading it, unless legal process specifically prohibits that disclosure.

No going around the platform to dodge fees. Once payment processing launches at V1.5, using platform messaging or other platform features to introduce yourself and then move the deal off-platform specifically to avoid Feeders to Field fees is a violation of these Terms and grounds for suspension.

Keeping your role information current

If your role changes — you start hauling on top of operating, your dealer license expires, your DOT authority lapses, your operation moves to a new address — update your account. Material changes to your role information that you fail to update may be grounds for suspension and may shift liability for any resulting harm onto you.

5. Livestock-specific representations and disclaimers

This section is the heart of how livestock transactions work on Feeders to Field. Read it carefully.

What sellers represent

When you list animals for sale on Feeders to Field, you represent — to the best of your knowledge and as of the time you list — that:

• The animals are healthy and free of known disease, illness, or injury that would materially affect their value, fitness, or safety to receive.
• The animals meet the health, vaccination, and identification requirements that apply to sale and shipment under the laws of your state and any state into which they may be shipped.
• You will obtain or have available any required Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), brand inspection, or other health or ownership documentation needed for the transaction and for interstate transport, if interstate transport is contemplated.
• The animals' breed, age, sex, weight, count, vaccination history, and other listing details are accurate.
• Premise ID and any National Animal Identification System (NAIS) compliance applicable to your operation is in place.

These are representations between you and the buyer. Feeders to Field is not making any of them on your behalf and is not warranting any of them.

What buyers acknowledge

When you buy animals through Feeders to Field, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Livestock is sold AS-IS. Feeders to Field makes no warranty of any kind as to animal health, fitness for any particular purpose, breeding ability, future performance, or any other quality. Whatever warranty exists is between you and the seller — and unless you and the seller agree otherwise in writing, the default is no warranty beyond the seller's representations above.
• Biosecurity is your responsibility. Quarantining new arrivals, following your state animal health authority's guidance, and managing risk to your existing herd is on you. Feeders to Field cannot and does not protect your operation from disease introduction.
• You should obtain veterinary inspection. Pre-purchase examination by a licensed veterinarian is your safest course on any meaningful transaction. The platform does not require it; we recommend it.
• Receiving-end compliance is on you. Premise registration, brand inspection on receipt, and any state-specific testing or quarantine requirements at the destination are your responsibility.

Disease outbreak notification

If, after a transaction, you discover that a listed or sold animal had a disease at the time of sale that may affect the buyer, the buyer's herd, or any animal in transit — or if the buyer discovers a disease that may have originated with the seller — you agree to:

1. Notify any other party to the transaction promptly, and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware.
2. Notify Feeders to Field at hello@feederstofield.com within the same 72-hour window so we can flag any related listings or transactions if needed.
3. Cooperate with state animal health authorities to the extent legally required.

This duty applies to both sellers and buyers and survives the close of the transaction.

What Feeders to Field does not do

Feeders to Field does not inspect animals. We do not certify health, breed, age, weight, or any other animal attribute. We do not guarantee that a CVI is valid, that a brand inspection has been performed, or that any state requirement has been met. The marketplace surfaces what users tell us — verifying it is the parties' job, not ours.

6. Hauler-specific obligations

This section applies to anyone using Feeders to Field as a hauler — that is, a person or operation moving livestock between sellers and buyers under a job arrangement booked through the platform. It is in addition to the general obligations in Section 4.

Authority and insurance

When you operate as a hauler on the platform, you represent that:

• You hold valid USDOT authority where the haul you are accepting requires it under federal regulation, and any required state intrastate authority where applicable.
• You maintain current commercial automobile liability insurance and motor truck cargo insurance covering livestock at coverage levels consistent with industry standard for the loads you accept. You agree to provide proof on request.
• Your authority and insurance remain valid throughout each haul you accept. If either lapses or is suspended, you will immediately stop accepting new jobs and notify any operator with an active accepted quote that you are no longer able to perform.

Compliance during the haul

You agree to comply with:

• USDA APHIS interstate shipping rules and the receiving state's animal health certificate (CVI) requirements for any haul crossing state lines.
• Hours-of-service and weight regulations applicable to your equipment and route.
• Federal, state, and local laws governing livestock transport, including animal welfare provisions.

Biosecurity between loads

You agree to clean and disinfect your trailer between loads consistent with industry-standard biosecurity practices, particularly when hauling between operations that do not share a closed-herd relationship. Feeders to Field does not prescribe a specific protocol; you are responsible for following one appropriate to the species and circumstances.

Animal welfare during transport

You agree to operate consistent with animal-welfare expectations for livestock transport, including:

• Loading at densities appropriate for the species, weight, and conditions.
• Providing water access and rest stops on long hauls per industry standard and applicable law.
• Avoiding transport in temperature or weather conditions that pose unreasonable risk to the animals.

Cargo loss and death-in-transit (V1)

In V1 of the platform — that is, before payment processing and escrow launch at V1.5 — risk of loss for animals during physical transport is allocated as follows by default, unless the seller, hauler, and buyer have agreed otherwise in writing:

• From the time animals are loaded at origin to the time they are unloaded at destination, the hauler bears the risk of loss for damage caused by the hauler's negligence, equipment failure, or breach of these Terms or applicable law.
• Risk for loss caused by acts of God, pre-existing animal condition, or third-party events outside the hauler's reasonable control is allocated according to applicable law and any private agreement between the parties.

This default may be revised when payment escrow launches at V1.5. Section 9 (Payments and fees) and the Refund Policy that ships with V1.5 will reference any change.

Your own insurance and recordkeeping

You maintain your own insurance coverage for your own protection and the protection of your customers. Feeders to Field's verification of your insurance documentation is not a substitute for your own coverage decisions. You also maintain trip records, bills of lading, CVIs, and any other documentation required by law for the period required by law — at minimum, the period during which a claim could be brought.

7. Acceptable use and prohibited content

You agree not to use Feeders to Field for any of the following:

Fraudulent or deceptive listings or quotes. Listing animals you do not own or have authority to sell, misrepresenting health, age, breed, origin, or any other material fact, posting decoy listings, manipulating quote competition, or otherwise deceiving other users.

Content that isn't yours. Photos, descriptions, or other content you don't own and don't have permission to use. If a photo was taken by someone else, you need their permission. If a description is copied from another seller's listing, that's not your content.

Harassment, threats, or abuse. Targeted harassment of another user, threats of violence, doxxing (publishing someone's personal information without consent), or any conduct that creates a hostile environment on the platform.

Illegal activity. Listing or transacting in animals where the sale is prohibited (for example, animals covered by quarantine orders, stolen animals, or animals whose sale violates endangered species or wildlife law). Using the platform to launder funds, evade taxes, or otherwise break the law.

Going around the platform to avoid platform fees (once V1.5 lands). Using platform messaging or other platform features to introduce yourself to a counterparty and then moving the transaction off-platform specifically to avoid the fees that apply to platform-facilitated transactions.

Pre-quote messaging by haulers. As described in Section 4, haulers cannot message operators before submitting a quote on the operator's job. Repeated attempts to circumvent this rule — for example, by submitting throwaway quotes purely to open a thread — are prohibited.

Scraping, automated access, or interference. Automated harvesting of listings, scraping of user information, denial-of-service activity, attempting to bypass access controls, or any conduct that interferes with the platform's normal operation.

Reverse-engineering or unauthorized commercial use. Copying the platform itself, reverse-engineering it, or building a competing service using data harvested from it.

Impersonation. Pretending to be someone else — including another user, a Feeders to Field employee, a state agency, or a veterinarian.

If you become aware that another user is doing any of these things, you can report it to hello@feederstofield.com. We will investigate as appropriate.

8. User-generated content license

Anything you upload to Feeders to Field — listings, photos, videos, descriptions, messages, profile information, reviews, and any other content you post — we call your "Content."

You keep ownership

You retain ownership of your Content. We don't claim copyright in your photos or descriptions. They are yours.

License you grant us

To run the platform, we need permission to host and display your Content. So when you post Content, you grant Feeders to Field a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only as needed for technical operation — for example, resizing photos for thumbnails), display, and distribute your Content as needed to operate, promote, and improve the Services. This license:

• Lets us show your listings to other users on the platform.
• Lets us include excerpts or screenshots of your Content in marketing about the platform itself, in a way that doesn't single out you or your operation as a paid endorser.
• Lets us back up your Content and process it through normal infrastructure (cloud hosting, content delivery networks).

License you grant other users

When another user views, downloads, or otherwise interacts with your Content as part of a transaction or potential transaction — for example, an operator saving photos from your listing to share with their veterinarian — you grant that user a limited license to use your Content for the purpose of evaluating, completing, or following up on the transaction. They cannot republish your Content publicly or use it for unrelated commercial purposes.

When the license ends

Your license to us ends when you delete the Content, with three exceptions:

1. We retain backup and archive copies for a reasonable period after deletion.
2. We retain copies needed to comply with legal obligations or to respond to disputes that arose before deletion.
3. Content you have already shared with another user (for example, photos sent in a message thread) remains in that thread under the license you granted to the recipient.

You're responsible for what you upload

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the licenses above for any Content you upload, and that the Content does not infringe any third party's rights.

9. Payments and fees

V1 — no platform fees

In V1 of the platform, Feeders to Field does not charge platform fees and does not process payments. Transactions occur between users on whatever terms they agree to, settled however they agree to settle them. Anything you owe Feeders to Field directly — for example, a future paid feature or subscription — would be invoiced separately and disclosed before you committed to it.

V1.5 — payment processing for hauling

When V1.5 launches, Feeders to Field will introduce payment processing for hauling transactions through Stripe Connect. The headline terms will be:

• Service fee. Feeders to Field charges a service fee of 14% to the operator on each hauling transaction processed through the platform. The hauler receives the agreed-upon haul price; the operator pays the haul price plus the service fee. Fees are disclosed at the point of payment before the operator confirms.
• Escrow and release. Funds are held in escrow until the haul is confirmed complete by both parties or until our dispute process resolves the matter. The Refund Policy that ships with V1.5 will spell out the timing and conditions for release, holdback, and refund.
• Stripe terms apply. Stripe is our payment processor. By using payment features, you also agree to Stripe's applicable terms, including the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement.

Fee changes

We may change platform fees from time to time. Material fee changes will be notified to active users by email and platform banner at least 30 days before they take effect. If you don't agree with a fee change, your remedy is to stop using the affected paid features before the new fees take effect.

Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes — sales tax, use tax, income tax, or otherwise — arising from your transactions on the platform. Feeders to Field does not collect or remit sales tax on user-to-user transactions in V1. Any change at V1.5 will be addressed in the Refund Policy and any tax-handling notice that accompanies it.

Disputes about charges

If you believe a charge from Feeders to Field is incorrect, contact us at hello@feederstofield.com within 60 days. After 60 days, you waive the right to dispute the charge except where applicable law provides otherwise.

10. Verification and badges

For some user roles — currently haulers — Feeders to Field verifies certain documentation and may display a badge on the user's profile when verification is current.

What we verify

For haulers, we verify:

• Identity — government-issued ID and a selfie match, run through our identity-verification vendor (Stripe Identity).
• Driving record (Motor Vehicle Record / MVR) — current driver's license validity and driving history, run through our background-check vendor (Checkr) under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
• Basic background screening — a baseline check including SSN trace and sex offender registry, run through Checkr under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not run full criminal history checks in V1; that may change in V1.5 alongside the Stripe escrow build, and any change will be notified per Section 18.
• USDOT authority (where applicable) — that the USDOT number provided exists and is registered to the user, looked up via the FMCSA SAFER public database.
• Insurance documentation — that the insurance documentation provided shows current coverage as of the date of verification.

Hauler consent and FCRA rights

Several of the verifications above — identity, MVR, and the basic background screening — are governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Before we run any of those checks, you will see a standalone consent disclosure during onboarding, separate from these Terms, stating that a consumer report may be obtained about you for verification purposes. You authorize the report at that step, and you can decline — though declining means you cannot complete hauler verification and cannot quote on jobs.

If we ever decide not to verify you based on the result of one of these checks, you have rights under FCRA:

• We will send you a pre-adverse action notice that includes a copy of the report and a summary of your rights under FCRA published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and we will give you a reasonable window (at least five business days) to respond, dispute, or correct the information before we make a final decision.
• If we proceed with denial, we will send a final adverse action notice that includes our contact information, a statement that the decision was based on the report, and instructions for disputing the report's accuracy directly with the consumer reporting agency.
• You can dispute the accuracy of any report directly with the issuing agency — Checkr's dispute process is described at the link we provide in the adverse action notice.

We may verify additional items in the future and will describe them here as we add them.

What verification is and isn't

Verification is a point-in-time confirmation that documentation provided by the user matched what was on file with the relevant authority or insurer at the time of verification. It is not:

• A guarantee that the user will continue to maintain that documentation.
• A guarantee of the user's competence, safety record, financial stability, or fitness for any particular job.
• A substitute for your own diligence on the people you choose to do business with.

A badge means we checked the documentation, not that we vouch for the user.

Revocation

We may revoke a verification badge if we learn that the documentation has lapsed, been suspended, or was inaccurate when provided. Users may appeal a revocation by providing updated documentation.

11. DMCA notice and takedown procedure

Feeders to Field respects copyright. If you believe content posted on the platform infringes a copyright you own, you can submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent.

How to send a notice

A valid DMCA notice must contain the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material on the platform that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail (for example, a URL or listing identifier) to allow us to locate it.
4. Your contact information — name, address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notices to our designated agent:

Feeders to Field LLC — DMCA Designated Agent Designated DMCA Agent 2695 Patterson Rd, 2-77, Grand Junction, CO 81506 dmca@feederstofield.com

Our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office; notices may also be submitted through the Copyright Office's directory.

What happens after we receive a notice

If we determine the notice is valid on its face, we will remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the user who posted it. If the notice is incomplete, we will request the missing information.

Counter-notice

If you believe content of yours was removed in error, you can submit a counter-notice containing the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3): your signature, identification of the removed material and where it was located, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification, your contact information, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district where Feeders to Field may be found).

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within ten to fourteen business days, we may restore the content.

Repeat infringer policy

Feeders to Field will terminate the accounts of users who, in our reasonable judgment, are repeat copyright infringers. As a working rule, we treat three valid DMCA takedowns within any rolling twelve-month period as triggering termination. We may act on fewer than three in egregious cases.

Admin access during DMCA review

When we receive a DMCA notice or counter-notice that involves message threads or other private content, our staff may need to review that content to evaluate the claim. As described in Section 4, this kind of review is one of the limited circumstances in which staff access user-to-user threads, and where a thread is involved we will attempt to disclose the access in the thread itself unless the legal context prohibits us from doing so.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." Feeders to Field makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Services or any content, listing, transaction, or counterparty available through them.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Feeders to Field disclaims all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the above, Feeders to Field does not warrant that:

• Any animal listed on the platform is healthy, fit for a particular purpose, of any particular breed, age, weight, or background, or free of any disease.
• Any user is who they say they are, has the authority they claim to have, or is reliable, solvent, or competent.
• Any hauler will arrive on time, drive safely, or deliver animals in the condition in which they were loaded.
• Any transaction will close, any quote will be accepted, or any party to a transaction will perform.
• The Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• Any information obtained through the Services will be accurate or reliable.

Asset handoffs between users. Users are solely responsible for inspecting equipment, agreeing on terms, securing insurance, and handling damage or loss arising from any asset loaned, rented, or transferred between users.

You assume the entire risk of using the Services and of any transaction you enter through them. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain implied warranties; to the extent any such warranty cannot be disclaimed, this Section applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

No indirect damages. Feeders to Field is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business opportunities, loss of goodwill, or substitute-procurement costs, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services or any transaction conducted through them, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Liability cap. Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount of platform fees you paid Feeders to Field in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Exclusions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent any such limitation cannot be enforced, this Section applies to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be limited as a matter of law.

The cap applies to user-to-user disputes too. Feeders to Field's role is the marketplace, not the deal. If your claim arises from another user's conduct — a sick animal, a no-show hauler, a buyer who didn't pay — your remedy runs against that user, not against Feeders to Field, except to the limited extent these Terms otherwise provide.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Feeders to Field LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates (the "F2F Parties") from and against any claim, demand, action, loss, liability, judgment, settlement, fine, penalty, damage, cost, or expense — including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs — arising out of or relating to:

• Your use of the Services;
• Your violation of these Terms;
• Your violation of any law or regulation;
• Your infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property right or other right of any third party;
• Any listing, content, message, or other Content you post or submit;
• Any transaction you enter into with another user, including the condition, health, or transport of any animal involved in that transaction;
• Any representation or warranty you make to another user that turns out to be inaccurate; and
• Your negligence or willful misconduct.

We may, at our option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense. You agree not to settle any matter for which you are required to indemnify us without our prior written consent.

15. Dispute resolution

We hope we never end up in a dispute with you. If we do, this section explains how disputes are resolved.

Step 1 — Tell us first

Before filing any formal claim against Feeders to Field, you agree to send written notice of the dispute to hello@feederstofield.com describing the issue and the resolution you want. We will do the same before bringing any claim against you. Both sides agree to spend at least 30 days trying in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.

Step 2 — Mediation

If the dispute is not resolved within the 30-day informal period, both sides agree to submit it to non-binding mediation with a mutually agreed mediator in Mesa County, Colorado, before pursuing arbitration or court action. The parties share the mediator's fees equally.

Step 3 — Binding arbitration

If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is filed. The arbitration will be held in Mesa County, Colorado, or by remote means at the arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Small-claims carve-out

Either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration, provided the claim qualifies for small-claims treatment under that court's rules and is not consolidated with any other claim.

Class-action waiver

You and Feeders to Field agree that any dispute will be brought in an individual capacity only, not as a class member, class representative, or in any other representative capacity. Class arbitration and class actions are not permitted under these Terms. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds this waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy must be severed from the arbitration and may proceed in court — but the rest of these Terms, including the class-action waiver as to all other claims and remedies, remain in effect.

Pass-through to consumer reporting agencies

If we use a third-party consumer reporting agency to verify users on the platform — for example, to check identity, driving records, or other background information for haulers — that agency's rights and obligations under this arbitration provision shall inure to the benefit of the consumer reporting agency regardless of whether the consumer reporting agency is named as a co-defendant with us or named individually in a claim that would otherwise be subject to this arbitration provision if brought against us. In other words, if you have a dispute with us that also involves the consumer reporting agency, you agree that the agency receives the same arbitration protections that we do under this Section 15.

Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The federal and state courts of Mesa County, Colorado, have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration or small-claims treatment, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

30-day opt-out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to hello@feederstofield.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, you preserve the right to litigate disputes in court individually, but the rest of these Terms — including the governing-law and venue provisions — still apply.

16. Termination

Termination by you

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the account-deletion process described in our Privacy Policy or by emailing hello@feederstofield.com to request deletion. Termination ends your right to use the Services, but it does not extinguish obligations that arose before termination — for example, obligations to a counterparty in a transaction already in progress, or obligations under the disease-outbreak notification clause in Section 5.

Termination by us

We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if:

• You materially violate these Terms;
• We are required to do so by law or court order;
• We reasonably believe your continued use creates a risk of harm to other users, to the platform, or to us;
• Your account has been inactive for 24 months and you have not responded to a 30-day warning email; or
• We discontinue the Services entirely or in your jurisdiction.

Where reasonable, we will give you notice and an opportunity to cure. Where the situation is urgent — fraud, imminent harm, legal compulsion — we may act first and explain afterward.

Effect of termination

On termination:

• Your access to the Services ends.
• Pending transactions are handled per the rules that applied before termination — money in escrow at V1.5, for example, is released or refunded according to the Refund Policy and the dispute process, not according to the termination event itself.
• The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5 (livestock representations), 6 (hauler obligations), 8 (content license, with respect to content not deleted), 11 (DMCA), 12 (disclaimers), 13 (limitation of liability), 14 (indemnification), 15 (dispute resolution), and this Section 16 — survive.

17. Force majeure

Feeders to Field is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, earthquake, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, epidemic, government action, sanctions, embargoes, court order, internet outages, denial-of-service attacks, infrastructure failure of third-party providers (including Cloudflare, Supabase, Stripe, Resend, and the user's own internet service provider), labor disputes, or shortages of supplies or services.

If we are prevented from performing for an extended period, either party may terminate without liability for the unperformed portion.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time as the platform evolves, the law changes, or our practices change. When we do:

• For material changes — anything that materially affects your rights, obligations, fees, or how we use your data — we will notify you by email to your account address and by a banner on the platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
• For non-material changes — fixing typos, clarifying ambiguous wording, updating contact information — we may make the change immediately and update the "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms.

If you continue to use the Services after the effective date of a change, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, your remedy is to stop using the Services and delete your account before the change takes effect. Material changes will not be applied retroactively to disputes that arose before the change.

19. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any service-specific terms we present to you for additional features, are the entire agreement between you and Feeders to Field about your use of the Services. They supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the rest of the Terms remain in effect, and the invalid provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the original intent.

No waiver. If we fail to enforce any provision of these Terms in any instance, that does not waive our right to enforce it later or in another instance.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, reorganization, or by operation of law without your consent, provided that the assignee agrees to honor these Terms with respect to your account.

Relationship of the parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between you and Feeders to Field.

Notices. We may give you notice by email to the address on your account, by a banner on the Services, or by any other reasonable means. Notices to us go to hello@feederstofield.com or to Feeders to Field LLC, 2695 Patterson Rd, 2-77, Grand Junction, CO 81506.

Electronic communications. You consent to receiving communications from us electronically, including by email and through the Services, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience; the English version controls.

Contact. For any reason not covered above, you can reach us at hello@feederstofield.com or by mail to Feeders to Field LLC, 2695 Patterson Rd, 2-77, Grand Junction, CO 81506.
