Our barn-ready kits may include a mix of physical items (such as laminated charts, posters, binders, stall cards, or printed materials) and digital resources (such as PDFs, checklists, templates, and reference guides) (collectively, the “Barn-Ready Kits”). All Barn-Ready Kits are designed as educational aids and organizational tools only and are not a substitute for professional training, veterinary care, or emergency services.

10.2 No Veterinary, Medical, or Safety Guarantee
Barn-Ready Kits are intended to help you organize information, track care, and communicate clearly in the barn. They do not:

Diagnose or treat any condition in horses or humans;
Guarantee compliance with local, state, or national barn, boarding, or workplace safety regulations; or
Replace professional judgment from a veterinarian, farrier, trainer, or safety officer.

You are solely responsible for how the information is used, updated, and implemented in your barn.

For digital versions (including PDFs, printables, and downloadable templates):

You receive a personal, non-transferable license to download, print, and use them for your own barn, business, or household, subject to these Terms.
You may not resell, redistribute, upload, or share the files or printed copies for commercial purposes without our written consent.
Because digital files are delivered immediately, all digital Barn-Ready Kit sales are generally final and non-refundable, except where required by law or in limited cases we determine appropriate (for example, duplicate purchase or technical download errors we cannot resolve).

10.4 Physical Barn-Ready Kits (Printed and Shipped Items)
For physical barn-ready kits that we print, assemble, or ship:

Inspect all items on arrival. Do not use any product that appears damaged, illegible, or unsafe.
You are responsible for installing and storing materials safely (for example, keeping laminated cards away from chewing, sharp edges, or entanglement risks around horses and children).
If a product arrives damaged or incorrect, you must contact us within a reasonable period (as stated on the Website) so we can review and, where appropriate, repair, replace, or refund according to our then-current policy.
Unless otherwise stated, custom or personalized printed items may be non-refundable except in cases of error on our part or where required by law.

10.5 Assumption of Risk in Barn Use
By using any Barn-Ready Kit, you understand and agree that:

You are working in an inherently risky environment (horses, equipment, vehicles, chemicals, etc.);
You are responsible for ensuring that any information displayed remains accurate, updated, and clearly visible to the people who need it;
You will implement appropriate safety protocols, supervision, and professional guidance; and
Horse Education Online is not responsible for injuries, accidents, property damage, or regulatory issues arising from how you choose to set up, install, or rely on Barn-Ready Kits in your facility.
