Terms and Conditions of Use
Hello, and welcome to the Vailhorses Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”). The Terms you see below are important because they describe the rules everyone needs to follow when using Vailhorses. Please read these Terms, our Privacy Policy and any other terms referenced in this document carefully. We made an effort making these Terms very brief and transparent. So here we go…
