BullPEN Terms of Use

Last Modified: 4/26/2020 

Acceptance of the Terms of Use 

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and BullPEN, LLC (“BullPEN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of the BullPEN mobile application, including any content and functionality offered on or through the BullPEN mobile application (the “App”). 

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before you start using the App. By accessing or using the App, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at http://www.getpenned.com/privacypolicy/, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the App.  

Scope of Our Services 

We connect you to third-party bull breeders (“Breeders”). The App enables you to find bulls for sale that fit your cattle breeding operation needs. The information presented on or through the App is made available solely for general information purposes. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the App, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. 

We do not own, sell, resell, provide, control, offer, or deliver any bulls. When you access or use the App to connect with Breeders, any resulting contractual relationship is between you and the Breeder. We are not and do not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between you and any Breeder. Additionally, we are not acting as an agent in any capacity for you or any Breeder for any such contractual relationship.  

We have no control over and do not guarantee (i) the truth or accuracy of any bull listing description on the App (each, a “Listing”) or (ii) the performance or conduct of any Breeder. Any Listing is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by us about any Breeder. We urge all users to be responsible about their use of this App and any transaction entered into as a result of any Listing. As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between a user and a Breeder, including the quality, condition, or legality of the Listing or the truth or accuracy of the Listing, is the sole responsibility of each user. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to communicate and interact with a Breeder.  

Accessing the App  

Users are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the App and the content provided on the App solely for the purpose of searching Listings, all in accordance with these Terms of Use. Any use of the App that is not for this purpose or otherwise in accordance with these Terms of Use is expressly prohibited. 

Due to the nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the App. We may restrict the availability of the App or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the App. We may improve, enhance, and modify the App from time to time. 

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the App, and any Listings therein, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the App or Listings is unavailable at any time or for any period.
