Last Updated: October 1, 2026

Welcome to Find a Rancher, LLC (“FAR”) and our Terms of Use and Conditions of Purchase (these “Terms”).

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS BEFORE USING THE SERVICES (DEFINED BELOW) OR PLACING AN ORDER.

Note that Section 14 of these Terms contains a mandatory arbitration provision that requires FAR and you to use binding arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to FAR and you in the event of certain disputes. By agreeing to these Terms, FAR and you are giving up our rights to bring our disputes before a jury or as a member of class action.

By accessing or using the services provided by Find a Rancher, LLC or our subsidiaries or other affiliates (collectively, “FAR,” “we,” “us” or “our”) through our websites, blogs and/or mobile applications (collectively, the “Sites” and together with such services, the “Services”) you agree to be bound by these Terms and all of the Terms incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf and that such entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or such entity violates these Terms.

FAR reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending you an email notification or providing notice through the Sites. By continuing to access or use the Services in any way after such notice has been provided, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review the Terms frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Services or Order. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you are free to reject them and will not be able to access or use the Services.

  1. Privacy Policy.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy, available at: (“Privacy Policy”) for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about you.

2. Eligibility.

The Services are not targeted toward or intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you (a) are 18 years of age or older, (b) are a legal resident of the United States, (c) have not been previously suspended or removed from the Services, or engaged in any activity that could result in suspension or removal from the Services, and (d) have full power and authority to enter into these Terms and in so doing will not violate any other agreement to which you are a party.

3. Terms of Sale.

A. Products.
FAR will put you in contact with a Seller of whole or half cow shares available for purchase.

B. By placing a non-refundable deposit, you agree that in order to make a change or to cancel an order, you need to reach out to Shopify.

C. Payment and Billing Information.

By providing a credit card via the Shopify Collective platform, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third party payment processor(s)) to charge your payment method for all charges you incur for the purchase of any whole or half cow shares (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (each such purchase, an “Order”). You are responsible for, and agree to pay, all such charges. If we, or our third party payment processor(s), cannot obtain authorization for charges to your payment method or if any amounts you authorize us to charge to your payment method are reversed or charged back for any reason, the rancher may, at our direction, in addition to any other remedies: cancel or suspend any undelivered portion of your Orders. You will remain responsible to pay all applicable charges for all Orders. You agree to provide and keep current a valid payment method. However, your failure to do so shall not constitute cancellation of any Order. Note: FAR uses the Shopify platform to process payments. You may see “Shopify” on your payment card statement

  1. In order to secure a whole or half cow share, you agree to pay a certain non-refundable deposit to FAR (“Deposit”) when you place your order. The Deposit will be applied to the total balance owed by you for the whole or half cow share. The total amount owed will be charged to your due prior to the cow share being shipped to you.

  2. Your whole or half cow share usually ships within twenty-one (21) days of you placing your Deposit.

D. Pricing and Availability.

All prices shown via the Services are in U.S. dollars. Any applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. FAR reserves the right to change the sellers it does business with and to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice. The seller’s shipment of the cow share to you will confirm your acceptance of any price changes, unless you successfully cancel an order directly through the Shopify platform.

We will collect applicable sales tax on whole and half cow shares that are shipped to states we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If an item is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown on the Shopify platform checkout may be adjusted due to changes in tax rates.

E. Shipping and Handling. You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. FAR assumes no liability and/or obligation to you for late shipments/deliveries and/or failed shipments/deliveries.

F. Deliveries. You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from the Seller upon receipt of the Products. In addition, you are solely responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive from a Seller. You should always inspect your delivery to confirm that the Products arrive in accordance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) instructions. From the time of receipt, the condition and consumption of the Products are solely at your risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper and safe washing, handling, preparation, storage, cooking, use, and consumption of the Products following delivery. FAR recommends that you follow the USDA’s instructions on safe food handling, which can be found here. We also recommend that all cooking instructions be followed and that you use a food thermometer to ensure that all meat items are cooked to the USDA’s recommended internal temperatures, which can be found here. Failure to follow safe food handling practices and temperature recommendations may increase the risk of foodborne illness. In addition, pregnant women, young children, the elderly and individuals with compromised immune systems should follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recommendations on food consumption for at-risk groups, which can be found here.

G. Cancellations, Refunds and Returns. If you need to request a cancellation, you mst make such request with the Seller. FAR assumes no liability or obligation to you in the event of a request for cancellation. FAR does not accept returns, and in the event there is an issue with your Products, please reach out to the Seller.

H. Damaged Products. In the event of damage, please reach out to the Seller. FAR assumes no liability or obligation to you in the event of damaged Products.

14. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES FAR AND YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH FAR AND YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF UNDER THESE TERMS. IN PARTICULAR, FAR AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP OUR RIGHTS TO BRING CERTAIN DISPUTES BEFORE A JURY OR RESOLVE CERTAIN CLAIMS IN COURT OR AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS PROCEEDING.

i. Binding Arbitration. For any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services, Content, or Products, except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings arising out of or related to a violation of Section P or disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents (each, a “Dispute”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, you and FAR agree (a) to waive your and FAR’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and FAR’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and FAR agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration. Arbitration is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court.

ii. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and FAR agree that any Dispute is personal to you and FAR and that any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and FAR agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.

  1. Federal Arbitration Act. You and FAR agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

  2. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution. You and FAR agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any Dispute or any small claims dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute or small claims dispute informally. Notice to FAR shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Find a Rancher, LLC Attn: Legal Notices, 1 Kingsbury Street, Watertown, MA 02472. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, an email address you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute or small claims dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent to the address we have on file for you, and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute or small claims dispute, (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute or small claims dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and FAR cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute or small claims dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or FAR may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section S, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section S ("Binding Arbitration" paragraph above), file a claim in court.

  3. Process. You and FAR agree that any Dispute or small claims dispute must be commenced or filed by you or FAR within one (1) year of the date the Dispute or small claims dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and FAR will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute or small claims dispute). You and FAR agree that (a) the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are explained in more detail in Section 15 below and hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of Massachusetts and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Massachusetts, County of Middlesex, City of Cambridge, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a small claims dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the small claims dispute meets the requirements to be heard in that small claims court.

  4. Authority or Abritrator. As limited by the FAA, hese Terms and the JAMS rules referenced above, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of the scope of this arbitration agreement and whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

  5. Rules of JAMS. The arbitration ill be administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/#Rule-16-1.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. To the extent there are any conflicts between the JAMS Rules and these Terms, the Terms will control.

  6. Severability. If any term, clause, or provision of this Section S is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 15 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this Section 15 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

  7. Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the Terms of this Section 15 by writing to: Find a Rancher, LLC Attn: General Counsel, 1 Kingsbury Avenue, Watertown, MA 02472. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 14(ix).

15. Governing Law and Venue. These Terms, your access to and use of the Services, and your Order, receipt and use of the Products shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law rules or principles (whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court pursuant to Section S shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States, respectively, sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, County of Middlesex, City of Cambridge.

16. Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Services and to order, receive and use the Products, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

17. Severability. If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.

18. Survival. The following terms will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your FAR account: all defined terms and Sections 1; 4-15; and 17-19.

19. Miscellaneous. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and FAR relating to your access to and use of the Services and your Order, receipt and use of Products. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of FAR. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and FAR’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
