  • Visitors browsing the site

  • Members using the Members Area and My Stable

1) Definitions

  • Member: a registered user with access to member features.

  • Business Account: a registered business/advertiser user with access to business features.

  • My Stable: the member area where you can manage horse profiles, results, photos, notes and more.

  • Listing: a directory/business listing (“Places”), event listing, or marketplace listing created on the site.

  • Product: an item published by a business that links to an external website for purchase (buy direct).

  • Content: anything uploaded, posted or submitted (text, photos, listings, messages, reviews, comments, results).

  • Packages/Plans: business tiers (including free and paid levels) that may include listing limits, product limits and banner ads.

2) Who can use the site

You must be at least 18 years old (or have a parent/guardian’s consent) to create an account. You must provide accurate information and keep your account details up to date.

We may refuse registration, suspend accounts, or remove content at our discretion, particularly where we suspect misuse, false information, or policy breaches.

3) Accounts, logins, and security

You are responsible for:

  • keeping your login details secure

  • all activity under your account

  • notifying us if you suspect unauthorised access

We may reset or suspend accounts where we believe security has been compromised.

4) Member features and rules

Members may access features such as:

  • My Stable tabs (About, My Horses, My Results, My Events, Photo Gallery, Messages, Bookmarks, Notes, Transfer)

  • horse profiles and photos

  • performance/result tracking

  • private messaging and community interactions

  • bookmarking and saving content

Member obligations:

  • You must only upload content you own or have permission to use.

  • You must not post misleading information, impersonate others, or harass any user.

  • You must not upload content that is unlawful, hateful, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or infringes rights.

Transfer (horse profiles):
If you use the Transfer feature, you must ensure you are authorised to transfer that profile. Transfers are intended for legitimate changes such as sale/lease/management change. We may reverse transfers or suspend access if misuse is suspected.

5) Business accounts, portal access, and separation from member accounts

Business accounts use the Business Portal and related tools. Business users must not attempt to access or use member-only areas where restricted (for example, marketplace areas that are members-only).

Business features may include:

  • creating and managing Business Listings (Places)

  • creating and managing Events

  • publishing Products that link to external sites

  • uploading a banner ad if included in your package

  • upgrading packages

6) Packages, upgrades, and limits

Business packages may include limits such as:

  • number of business listings permitted

  • number of events permitted

  • number of products permitted

  • banner ad entitlement (typically one banner per account unless stated otherwise)

Limits are enforced based on your current package/role. If you upgrade your package, new limits may apply immediately once payment is confirmed (where relevant).

If your package is downgraded or expires (where applicable), we may:

  • restrict creation of new content above your limit

  • hide or pause banners and features included only in higher tiers

  • require you to upgrade again to regain access

7) Listings, events and marketplace content rules

When you create a listing/event/marketplace post, you agree that:

  • the information is accurate and not misleading

  • you have the right to publish any logos, images, descriptions, and branding

  • you will not publish prohibited products/services, scams, or unlawful content

  • you will comply with any relevant laws and industry obligations

We may edit, hide, or remove any listing or content that breaches these Terms or creates risk for users.

8) Products with external “buy direct” links

Some products published on Equestrian Style may link to external websites for purchase.

Important: We do not process those external purchases, payments, shipping, returns, warranties, or disputes. Those are between the buyer and the external seller. We are not responsible for:

  • product quality, availability, delivery times, or stock

  • pricing changes on external sites

  • refund/return decisions made by external sellers

  • any loss arising from external transactions

9) Banner advertising

Business packages may include banner advertising placements on the site.

  • Your banner must comply with our content rules (no misleading claims, prohibited content, or unsafe material).

  • You grant us the right to display your banner across the agreed zones while your entitlement remains active.

  • If your banner expires, is removed, or you are not eligible, we may display a “house ad” or default advertisement instead.

We may remove or pause banners at our discretion if they breach these Terms or create legal or reputational risk.

10) Payments, refunds, and Australian Consumer Law

Where payments apply, all prices are shown in AUD unless stated otherwise.

Refunds (if any) are handled according to our posted policy and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any consumer guarantees you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

11) Reviews, comments, and community content

Members may be able to review or comment on businesses and events.

  • Reviews must be honest, relevant and lawful.

  • You must not post fake reviews, malicious content, or defamatory claims.

  • We may remove reviews or comments that breach these Terms.

12) Your content, licences, and intellectual property

  • host, store, reproduce, display and distribute your content on the site

  • format or resize images to suit layouts

  • promote site content (for example, showcasing listings, events, or community posts)
