• Take possession of or responsibility for any horses

• Promptly update your account information as needed

5. Listing Rules, Acceptable Use, and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to post listings or content that:

• Is false, misleading, or fraudulent
• Infringes on intellectual property rights
• Contains malware, viruses, or harmful code
• Violates any local, state, or federal laws
• Relates to stolen horses or fraudulent documentation
• Contains inappropriate, offensive, or harmful content
• Impersonates another person or entity

You also agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• Use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, bot, browser automation, data mining tool, harvesting tool, or similar automated means to access, monitor, copy, collect, extract, or download any portion of the Service, including listing data, images, contact details, pricing, metadata, search results, or page structure
• Copy, mirror, frame, republish, syndicate, sell, license, train on, or build a database, index, feed, model, or competing service using data obtained from the Service without our prior written consent
• Circumvent rate limits, access controls, anti-bot protections, or technical restrictions used to protect the Service
• Access the Service through any means other than the publicly supported interfaces we expressly make available

Unauthorized scraping, crawling, harvesting, or automated extraction of data from the Service is strictly prohibited. You agree that a breach of this restriction would cause harm that is difficult to measure precisely, including infrastructure costs, investigative costs, remediation expense, loss of data exclusivity, and harm to marketplace integrity. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bring A Halter may recover liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000 for each day, or portion of a day, that prohibited scraping, crawling, harvesting, or automated extraction occurs by or on behalf of you. The parties agree this amount is a reasonable pre-estimate of anticipated harm and is not a penalty. This remedy does not limit our right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief.
