I went to the Lovejoy Ranch on a turkey hunt and Jody and Bob were awesome hosts. Bob showed me where the birds travel through and where they are roosting. The ranch was awesome and had an excellent population of birds.

Terms of Service

TERMS OF SERVICE

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE LANDTRUST PLATFORM, YOU AGREE TO COMPLY WITH AND BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

THE TERMS OF USE INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND REQUIRE BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS. By accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by this arbitration clause and class action waiver. Please read it carefully.

Last Updated: February 06, 2023

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and LandTrust, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“LandTrust”) governing your access to and use of the LandTrust website (the "Site"), our mobile applications, and application program interfaces (collectively, "Application") and all associated services (collectively, "LandTrust Services"). The Site, Application and LandTrust Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “LandTrust Platform”. 

When these Terms mention “LandTrust,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to LandTrust. 

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the LandTrust Platform is described in our Privacy Policy.

Any and all payment processing services in connection with your use of the LandTrust Platform ("Payment Services") are provided by a third-party payment processor, and subject to such third-party’s terms of use.

Landowners alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings and Landowner Services (as defined below). If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing(s) and Landowner Service(s) on LandTrust, you should always seek legal guidance.

1. Scope of LandTrust Services

1.1 The LandTrust Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Users”) and certain third parties who offer services (Users and third parties who offer services are “Landowners” and the services they offer are “Landowner Services”) to publish such Landowner Services on the LandTrust Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Users who are seeking to book such Landowner Services (Users using Landowner Services are “Guests”). Landowner Services include the offering of single or multi-day access to Landowner’s property for Landowner-specified hunting, fishing or other outdoor related activities (“Activities”). A Landowner may also provide Guests access to public lands through the Landowner’s land.

1.2 As the provider of the LandTrust Platform, LandTrust does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Landowner Services. Landowners alone are responsible for their Listings and Landowner Services. When Users make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. LandTrust is not, and does not become, a party to or otherwise participant in any contractual relationship between Users. LandTrust is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any User. By using the LandTrust Platform, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of another User or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular User or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from LandTrust with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with the other User regarding any Listings. 

1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, LandTrust has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Landowner Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions or other User Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any User or third party. LandTrust does not endorse any User, Listing or Landowner Services. Any references to a User being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the User has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by LandTrust about any User, including the User's identity or background or whether the User is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to use Landowner Services, accept a booking request from a Guest, or communicating and interacting with other Users, whether online or in person.

1.4 If you choose to use the LandTrust Platform as a Landowner, your relationship with LandTrust is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of LandTrust for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of LandTrust. LandTrust does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Landowner Services. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list Landowner Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 To promote the LandTrust Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Guests, Listings and other User Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. 

1.6 The LandTrust Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. LandTrust is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by LandTrust of such Third-Party Services.

1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, LandTrust cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the LandTrust Platform. LandTrust may restrict the availability of the LandTrust Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the LandTrust Platform. LandTrust may improve, enhance and modify the LandTrust Platform and introduce new LandTrust Services from time to time.

2. Eligibility, Using the LandTrust Platform, User Verification

2.1 In order to access and use the LandTrust Platform or register a LandTrust Account you must be an individual at least 18 years old or a duly organized, validly existing business, organization or other legal entity in good standing under the laws of the state or country in which you are established, and able to enter into legally binding contracts.

2.2 LandTrust may make access to and use of the LandTrust Platform, or certain areas or features of the LandTrust Platform, subject to certain conditions or requirements.

2.3 Although LandTrust uses third party identity verification processes, User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot assure Landowners that such processes will result in accurate or complete information about a particular User.

3. Modification of these Terms

LandTrust reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the LandTrust Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of the modifications by email at least thirty (30) days before the date they become effective. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. We will inform you about your right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If you do not terminate your Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the LandTrust Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

4. Account Registration

4.1 You must register an account ("LandTrust Account") to access and use certain features of the LandTrust Platform, such as publishing or booking a Listing. If you are registering a LandTrust Account for a business, organization or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant us all permissions and licenses provided in these Terms.

4.2 You can register a LandTrust Account using an email address and creating a password, or through your account with certain third-party social networking services, such as Facebook or Google ("SNS Account"). You have the ability to disable the connection between your LandTrust Account and your SNS Account at any time, by accessing the "Settings" section of the LandTrust Platform.

4.3 You must provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and keep your LandTrust Account and public LandTrust Account profile page information up-to-date at all times.

4.4 You may not register more than one (1) LandTrust Account unless LandTrust authorizes you to do so. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your LandTrust Account to another party.

4.5 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your LandTrust Account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You are liable for any and all activities conducted through your LandTrust Account, unless you immediately notify LandTrust if you know, or have any reason to suspect, that your credentials have been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your LandTrust Account.

4.6 If you signed up for a subscription-based membership, your membership will automatically renew at the conclusion of the then-current one year term unless you turn off auto-renewal at least twenty-four (24) hours before the conclusion of the then-current term. You must cancel your membership or turn off auto-renewal to end recurring charges. You may cancel your membership at any time; you will have access to the membership for the remaining portion of the then-current term. LandTrust will not issue you a refund for early termination of your membership. In order to terminate your subscription-based membership, you must log in to your account at LandTrust.com and navigate to your “Profile” in the upper right corner. Then select the “Billing & Membership” section on your profile page. You will then see an option to “Cancel Membership”.

7.1.5 Pictures, animations or videos (collectively, "Images") used in your Listings must accurately reflect the quality and condition of your Landowner Services.

7.1.6 The placement and ranking of Listings in search results on the LandTrust Platform may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as Guest search parameters and preferences, Landowner requirements, price and calendar availability, number and quality of Images, customer service and cancellation history, Reviews and Ratings, type of Landowner Service, and/or ease of booking.

7.1.7 When you accept or have pre-approved a booking request by a Guest, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with the Guest and are required to provide your Landowner Service(s) to the Guest as described in your Listing when the booking request is made. You also agree to pay the applicable Landowner Fee and any applicable Taxes.

7.1.8 Although LandTrust has obtained certain insurance (see https://landtrust.com/insurance), LandTrust recommends that Landowners obtain appropriate insurance for their Landowner Services. Please review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Guests while participating in your Landowner Service.

7.1.9 When listing an Activity, you must, where applicable, fully educate and inform Guests about (i) any risks inherent to the Activity, (ii) any requirements for participation, such as the minimum age, related skills, level of fitness or other requirements, and (iii) anything else they may need to know to safely participate in the Activity (including special certifications or licenses).

You agree to pay the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your LandTrust Account.

8.1.2 Upon receipt of a booking confirmation from LandTrust, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and your Landowner, subject to any additional terms and conditions of the Landowner that apply, including in particular the applicable cancellation policy and any rules and restrictions specified in the Listing.

This policy is to protect Landowners from potentially losing their only opportunities to make money from their properties due to the nature of certain Activities and the limited time windows available for them.

9.5 If a Guest is a LandTrust+ member and has booked a hunt with a participating landowner before draw results are known, and that Guest is later unsuccessful in drawing the necessary tag, then the Guest will be given a full refund, less any credit card processing fees, so long as they notify LandTrust customer service within 14 days of receiving their draw results.

10.2 Ratings and Reviews by Guests and Landowners must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language. 

10.3 Users are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another User.

YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHOICES YOU MAKE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A LANDOWNER SERVICE. IF YOU ARE BRINGING A MINOR AS AN ADDITIONAL GUEST, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUPERVISION OF THAT MINOR THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF YOUR LANDOWNER SERVICE AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDTRUST FROM ALL LIABILITIES AND CLAIMS THAT ARISE IN ANY WAY FROM ANY INJURY, DEATH, LOSS OR HARM THAT OCCURS TO THAT MINOR DURING THE LANDOWNER SERVICE OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR LANDOWNER SERVICE. YOU FURTHER AGREE TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDOWNER FROM ALL LIABILITY AND CLAIMS THAT ARISE IN ANY WAY FROM ANY INJURY, DEATH, LOSS OR HARM THAT OCCURS TO YOU OR A MINOR DURING YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE LANDOWNER SERVICES, OTHER THAN ANY SUCH INJURY, DEATH, LOSS OR HARM ARISING FROM LANDOWNER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

16. Liability

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE LANDTRUST PLATFORM AND COLLECTIVE CONTENT, YOUR PUBLISHING OR BOOKING OF ANY LISTING VIA THE LANDTRUST PLATFORM, YOUR PARTICIPATION LANDOWNER SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER INTERACTION YOU HAVE WITH OTHER USERS WHETHER IN PERSON OR ONLINE REMAINS WITH YOU. NEITHER LANDTRUST NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE LANDTRUST PLATFORM OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THESE TERMS, (II) FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE LANDTRUST PLATFORM OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT, (III) FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE, INTERACT OR MEET WITH AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE LANDTRUST PLATFORM, OR (IV) FROM YOUR PUBLISHING OR BOOKING OF A LISTING, INCLUDING THE PROVISION OR USE OF A LISTING’S LANDOWNER SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT LANDTRUST HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. In no event will LandTrust’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the LandTrust Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing or booking of any Listings via the LandTrust Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the LandTrust Platform or Collective Content and in connection with any Landowner Service or any interactions with any other Users, exceed the amounts you have paid or owe for bookings via the LandTrust Platform as a Guest in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or if you are a Landowner, the amounts paid by LandTrust to you in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable. The assumption of liability and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between LandTrust and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. 

17. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at LandTrust’s option), indemnify, and hold LandTrust, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms or our Privacy Policy, (ii) your improper use of the LandTrust Platform or any LandTrust Services, (iii) your interaction with any User or participation in any Landowner Service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, participation, or use, or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.

In addition, each Guest, on behalf of himself and each member and/or guest of Guest, agrees to indemnify, defend, and save and hold the Landowner, its affiliates, and all of their agents, contractors, and employees (collectively, the “Landowner Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless for, from, and against any and all liens, claims, loss, injury, costs, liability, demands, causes of action, and/or damages including any incidental and consequential expenses/damages incurred by the Landowner Indemnified Parties associated with or at all attributable to (directly or indirectly) any injury to or death of persons or damage to property (including but not in any way limited to the Landowner's property and costs and attorney fees incurred in defense), in whole or in part caused by, associated with, or in any way attributable to (directly or indirectly), the condition of the Landowner’s property and/or by acts of commission, omission or negligence on the part of the Guest, his guests, agents or employees, (including trespass onto neighboring lands), arising in conjunction with access to the Landowner Services, whether such loss or liability is caused or contributed to by any act of the Landowner Indemnified Parties or by the condition of the Landowner’s property, including the conditions of any private roads, bridges, drainage structures, gates, or other infrastructure installed or maintained by any of the Landowner Indemnified Parties

You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in Gallatin County, Montana or, if unavailable, in Yellowstone County, Montana, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue. Any claim under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. In the event of any controversy or dispute between LandTrust and you arising out of or in connection with your use of the LandTrust Platform, the parties shall attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. If we are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days), then either party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation.
