Terms of Use

These terms cover the RingStock apps and website ("RingStock"), made by HandR Ventures LLC. By using RingStock you agree to them. Plain language throughout; where it matters legally, the plain meaning is the intended one.

Your account

You need to be 13 or older to create an account. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms with you and is responsible for how you use RingStock. Children under 13 don't get their own account: a parent or guardian creates the account and uses it with them. Keep your password to yourself; you're responsible for what happens under your account. One person, one account. If you share a herd with others, you're responsible for who you invite.

Your data

Your records are yours. We claim no rights to them beyond what's needed to store them and show them to you and the people you invite. You can export or delete them at any time. Don't upload anything you don't have the right to, and don't use RingStock to store other people's personal information without their permission.

Youth projects, advisors, and leaders

Many RingStock herds belong to 4-H, FFA, and other youth livestock projects. The project's records belong to the family's account, not to the club, chapter, school, or advisor.

• A family can share its herd with an advisor, leader, or Extension educator. That person sees what the herd contains, with the access the family chose, until the family removes them or they leave.
• If you're an advisor or leader, use what you see only to support the member's project. Don't copy it elsewhere, share it outside the program, or use it to contact students or families about anything unrelated to the program.
• The record book RingStock prints is a starting point. The member's program decides what meets its rules and deadlines.

RingStock is not affiliated with or endorsed by National FFA or 4-H.

Plans and payment

Paid plans have not started yet. During the beta every feature is free. When paid plans start, the terms in this section apply, and we will tell you in the app and by email before they do.

RingStock has a Free plan, two paid plans (RingStock Show and RingStock Breeder), and a free Advisor plan for verified advisors and leaders. The price and what each plan includes are shown on ringstock.online and in the app before you subscribe. Features included in each plan may change; we'll give notice before removing anything you're paying for.

Subscriptions renew automatically. Paid plans are billed in advance, monthly or yearly. A subscription renews at the end of each period at the price then in effect unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.

Free trial. RingStock Show and RingStock Breeder start with a 2-week free trial. You choose monthly or yearly when the trial starts. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and the first payment is charged when the trial ends; after that it renews as described above. If you cancel during the trial, you are not charged, and the herd moves to the Free plan when the trial ends. Each person or family gets one free trial of each paid plan. In the iPhone app the trial is an Apple introductory offer, and Apple decides whether your Apple account can use it.

Where you subscribe. If you subscribe in the iPhone app, Apple charges your Apple account and handles renewal, cancellation, and refunds under Apple's terms; manage it in your Apple account's subscription settings. If you subscribe on Windows or at ringstock.online, our payment processor bills your card; manage or cancel it from Plan in the app. Either way, the plan applies everywhere you sign in to RingStock.

Cancelling. You can cancel at any time. The plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and then the herd moves to the Free plan. We do not refund partial periods, except where the law requires it. Refunds for purchases made through the App Store are decided by Apple.

Price changes. We will tell you by email and in the app at least 30 days before a price increase applies to your subscription, and you can cancel before it does. For App Store subscriptions, Apple may also notify you and ask you to agree.

Founding price. The first 250 people to subscribe to RingStock Show yearly pay $89 a year for two years from the date they subscribe, as long as the subscription stays active and yearly. If it lapses, is cancelled, or changes to monthly, the founding price ends and the regular price applies on renewal.

The Free plan. On the Free plan a herd can have up to 3 active animals; sold and deceased animals do not count. Free herds cannot be shared with other people, and record books include a small "Made with RingStock Free" credit. If a herd has more than the Free limits when it moves to Free, nothing is deleted: every record stays available to view, print, and export, but you cannot add more active animals or invite more people until the herd is within the limits or the owner upgrades.

Plans follow the herd owner. A herd's plan is its owner's plan. People the owner shares the herd with use it under the owner's plan and do not need their own subscription for that herd.

The Advisor plan. The Advisor plan is free for FFA advisors, agriculture teachers, 4-H leaders, and Extension educators that we verify. We may ask for proof of your role and may end the Advisor plan if you no longer qualify. It gives access to the roster of herds families choose to share with you; it does not let you change those herds unless a family gives you edit access.

Taxes. Prices do not include sales tax. Where tax applies, it is added at checkout.

What you may not do

• Break into, overload, or reverse-engineer RingStock or its services.
• Use it for anything unlawful, or to harass or defraud anyone.
• Resell access or share one account across many people.

Availability and changes

We work hard to keep RingStock running, but it can go down, and we may change or retire features. The phone app keeps working offline, and you can keep a backup file at any time; we recommend you do.

No professional advice

RingStock records what you tell it. Withdrawal days, doses, rations, and gain figures are your entries and estimates, not veterinary, nutritional, or financial advice. Check with your vet or extension office when it matters.

Warranty and liability

RingStock is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, HandR Ventures LLC is not liable for lost data, lost sales, missed entry deadlines, or other indirect losses arising from your use of RingStock. Our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Ending things

You can delete your account whenever you like. If you delete your account while subscribed in the iPhone app, cancel the subscription in your Apple account settings too; deleting your RingStock account does not stop Apple from billing you. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we'll tell you why.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
