Terms & Conditions

Last updated: June 17, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the ShowSync platform ("Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). These Terms apply to all users, including show organizations ("Organizations"), exhibitors, riders, trainers, and any other individuals accessing the Platform. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.

Description of Services

ShowSync is an equestrian competition management platform that enables Organizations to manage and operate horse shows, and allows Exhibitors to register for competitions, pay technology fees, access results, manage entries, and communicate with organizers. ShowSync provides technology infrastructure and is not itself a show organizer or sanctioning body.

User Accounts

  • You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
  • You must notify ShowSync immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach
  • ShowSync reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms

Organizations

Organizations that contract with ShowSync to use the Platform agree to:

  • Be responsible for the accuracy of competition data, schedules, and results entered on the Platform
  • Comply with all applicable equestrian federation rules and regulations
  • Honor the technology fee structure agreed upon in their service agreement with ShowSync
  • Ensure that their use of the Platform complies with these Terms and applicable law

Exhibitor Technology Fee

Exhibitors pay a per-competition technology fee to access ShowSync's platform services for that event. This fee is separate from any entry fees charged by the Organization. By registering for a competition through ShowSync, Exhibitors agree to pay the applicable technology fee. Technology fees are non-refundable except as described in the Refund Policy.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable law
  • Upload or transmit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Platform or its systems
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Platform
  • Harvest, scrape, or collect user data without authorization
  • Use the Platform to send spam, unsolicited messages, or harmful content
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Platform

Payment Processing

ShowSync uses third-party payment processors to handle all financial transactions. By submitting payment information, you authorize ShowSync and its processors to charge the applicable fees. ShowSync does not store full credit card numbers on its servers. All transactions are subject to our Refund Policy.

Disclaimers

The ShowSync Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. ShowSync does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. ShowSync is not responsible for the actions, conduct, or decisions of any Organization or user, or for the outcomes of any equestrian competition.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ShowSync LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. ShowSync's total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ShowSync LLC and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Platform, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which ShowSync LLC is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for intellectual property or confidentiality violations.

Modifications to Terms

ShowSync reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes via email and/or a prominent notice on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform following notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Termination

ShowSync may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time for violations of these Terms or for any other reason with reasonable notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

Refund Policy

Overview

ShowSync is committed to fair and transparent billing. This Refund Policy applies to technology fees charged to Exhibitors through the ShowSync platform. It does not apply to entry fees, stall fees, or other charges collected by Show Organizations directly; those refund policies are determined by the Organization.

Technology Fee Refunds

The ShowSync technology fee is generally non-refundable once a competition entry has been processed. However, refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:

  • Event Cancellation: If a Show Organization cancels an event, ShowSync will refund the technology fee in full to affected Exhibitors within seven (7) business days.
  • Duplicate Charges: If you were charged more than once for the same entry due to a technical error, ShowSync will refund the duplicate charge promptly upon verification.
  • Unauthorized Transactions: If a charge was made without your authorization, contact us immediately at info@showsynceq.com and we will investigate and issue a refund if the claim is verified.
  • Platform Error: If a technical error on ShowSync's part prevented you from accessing services you paid for, ShowSync will issue a pro-rated refund or credit at its discretion.

Exhibitor Withdrawals

If an Exhibitor withdraws from a competition after completing registration:

  • Refunds of technology fees for Exhibitor-initiated withdrawals are subject to the Show Organization's stated scratch policy and deadlines.
  • ShowSync will process technology fee refunds only in cases where the Organization has authorized a refund for that entry.
  • No technology fee refunds will be issued for scratches made after the Organization's final scratch deadline.

Organization Billing

Fees charged to Show Organizations under their ShowSync service agreement are subject to the terms of that agreement. Organizations seeking billing adjustments should contact ShowSync directly at info@showsynceq.com.

How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, contact ShowSync at info@showsynceq.com with:

  • Your full name and account email address
  • The competition name and date
  • The amount charged and the reason for the refund request

ShowSync will respond within three (3) business days. Approved refunds will be credited to the original payment method within seven (7) business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.

Chargebacks

We encourage you to contact us before initiating a chargeback with your bank. Unresolved chargebacks may result in account suspension. ShowSync will cooperate with all payment processor dispute processes.
