We do not warrant or guarantee that:
Not Veterinary Advice: The health information, disease prevention strategies, and treatment suggestions presented on this website are for general educational purposes only. They do not constitute veterinary advice and should never be used as a replacement for consultation with a licensed veterinarian. Always seek the guidance of a qualified veterinary professional for any health concerns regarding your goats. Delayed veterinary care based on information found on this or any website can result in animal suffering and financial loss.
Not Legal or Financial Advice: Information about regulations, zoning laws, licensing requirements, and business planning provided on this website is general in nature and may not reflect the specific requirements of your jurisdiction. Consult with a qualified attorney and financial advisor before making business decisions related to goat farming.
Calculator Estimates: Our herd size calculator, feed cost estimator, gestation calculator, and other interactive tools produce estimates based on commonly accepted averages in the goat farming industry. Actual requirements will vary based on your specific breed, climate, soil conditions, management practices, and local pricing. These tools are intended as starting points for planning and should be refined with input from local agricultural extension agents and experienced goat farmers in your area.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Arson Bayou, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, partners, or content providers be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, livestock, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with:
Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of the website shall not exceed the greater of one hundred United States dollars ($100.00) or the amount you have paid to Arson Bayou, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above limitations may not apply, and you may have additional rights. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Arson Bayou and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and partners from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:
This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your discontinuation of use of the website. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.
The Arson Bayou website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by us. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites and assume no responsibility for them.

We strongly encourage you to review the terms of service and privacy policy of every website you visit. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement, approval, or recommendation by Arson Bayou of the linked site, its operator, or its content.
We shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage, loss, or inconvenience caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available on or through any third-party websites or resources linked from our site.
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

These Terms of Service and any disputes arising out of or related to them or the use of the Arson Bayou website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the website shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to the laying of venue in such courts on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any other basis.
If you are accessing the website from a jurisdiction outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent that local laws are applicable. Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as creating any obligation on the part of Arson Bayou that is inconsistent with applicable law.
Informal Resolution First: Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the website by contacting us directly at [email protected]. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve the matter informally within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving your written description of the dispute.
Binding Arbitration: If informal resolution does not succeed within the 30-day period, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, or at another mutually agreed location, by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA rules. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on both parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver: To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Arson Bayou agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both parties waive any right to a jury trial.
Exceptions: Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights. Claims for small claims court relief are also excluded from the arbitration requirement, provided the claim qualifies under the jurisdictional limits of the applicable small claims court.
