Haltered is not a party to this lease. Haltered operates as a marketplace platform and payment processor only. The Lease Fee includes a 10% listing commission, split equally between the listing barn (5%) and Haltered (5%). The Lessee pays the Lease Fee only — there are no additional fees charged to the Lessee. All horse transactions settle by ACH bank transfer; credit cards are available for PPE, insurance, and hauling but not for the purchase or lease of a horse. Haltered retains chargeback liability and pursues contractual recovery from involved parties as needed.
Trainers acted as agents only. Taylor Bowman (Twisted Tree Farm) negotiated this transaction as agent for the Owner. David Ramos (Camelback Equestrian) submitted the offer as agent for the Lessee. Neither trainer is a party to this Agreement, neither is a signatory, and neither bears any obligation under it. All representations, warranties, and obligations are solely between Owner (Brian Hackathorn, on behalf of Alexa Hackathorn) and Lessee (Sarah Thompson, on behalf of Emma Thompson).
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements. No modification shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties.
If any provision is found unenforceable, remaining provisions continue in full effect. This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the date set forth below. This lease uses sequential signing: the Lessee reviews and signs first to accept the terms set by the Owner; the Owner then countersigns to make the lease binding. If the Lessee does not sign as drafted, the Owner may amend the terms and resend.
