Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using FindMyHorse ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.

2. Description of Service

FindMyHorse is a search engine that indexes and displays horse listings from multiple third-party platforms. We do not directly sell horses, facilitate transactions, or host content. Our service is designed to help users discover horses available for sale by directing them to the original listing platforms where they can complete their transactions.

We operate as a search engine similar to Google, Bing, or other search services, providing search results that link back to original content sources. We do not copy, reproduce, or redistribute content from third-party platforms.

3. Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights

Respect for Original Content: FindMyHorse respects the intellectual property rights of all content creators and platform owners. We do not claim ownership of any horse listings, images, or content displayed through our search results.

Search Engine Functionality: Our service operates as a search engine that indexes publicly available information from third-party platforms. We display search results with links that direct users back to the original source platforms where the full content is hosted.

No Content Reproduction: We do not copy, store, or reproduce the full content of horse listings. Our search results contain only basic information (such as horse name, breed, price range, and location) necessary for search functionality, with all detailed information and images remaining on the original platforms.

DMCA Compliance: If you are a copyright owner and believe that your content has been improperly indexed or displayed, please contact us immediately. We will promptly remove any content that violates copyright laws upon receiving proper notification.

Direct to Source: When you click on a search result, you will be directed to the original platform where the horse listing is hosted. All transactions, communications, and detailed information are handled by the original platform, not by FindMyHorse.

No Content Storage: We do not store, cache, or maintain copies of horse listings, images, or detailed content from third-party platforms. Our search results contain only minimal information necessary for search functionality.

Real-Time Results: Our search results are generated in real-time and link directly to the original source platforms where the full content is hosted.

Robots.txt Compliance: We respect robots.txt files and other standard web crawling protocols established by third-party platforms.
