Services

  1. Jordan’s services on this website and at its various facilities are available only to, and may be used only by, persons who are able to enter into legally binding contracts. If you are an individual, you must be at least 18 years of age. If you are entering into a sale, transaction or agreement with Jordan on behalf of a business, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to this agreement.
  2. All sales, auctions, websites, and any other services provided by Jordan (“Services”) incorporate these terms and conditions to every sale, transaction, or agreement.
  3. Jordan offers traditional weekly sales of cattle as a marketing option for a Buyer, defined as an individual or business who purchases livestock from Jordan, and Seller, defined as an individual or business who consigns livestock to Jordan so that Jordan can market the consigned livestock to available Buyers. This Agreement and Terms and Conditions apply to all sales whether physically on Jordan’s properties, remotely via online, or through other method of sale including negotiating sales between parties, such as done in county cattle sales. All live and online auctions will be referred to as Livestock Auctions.
  4. Buyer or Seller is never an agent, representative, broker, employee, or partner of Jordan.
  5. Jordan Cattle Auction and its employees and independent contractors are never agents, representatives, brokers, employees, or partners of Seller at any time. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to create an association, agency, or partnership between Seller and Jordan Cattle Auction.
  6. In addition to its traditional sales at its facilities, Jordan broadcasts selected sales live on the Internet. Jordan’s Services include, but are not limited to, broadcasting selected live sales, providing video to preview upcoming auctions, as well as allowing you to bid and purchase livestock with any of the Livestock Auctions listed on its website. Jordan provides a broadcasting platform through CattleUSA.com that allows users to view and listen to sales and make offers and purchases of livestock remotely at auction. CattleUSA.com’s Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use are fully incorporated into this Agreement and Terms and Conditions.
  7. You acknowledge and agree that by placing a bid on livestock, you represent and warrant that you shall not misrepresent your ability to close the transaction pursuant to the terms and conditions of sale, that you have the capacity to close the transaction, and that you have actual authority to enter a bid.
  8. When you commit to buy an item (bid), you enter into a legally binding, non-retractable contract to purchase livestock and you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth. Once your bid has been accepted, you are obligated to complete the transaction in accordance with this Agreement.
  9. Buyers at the physical auction have the benefit of seeing, smelling, and experiencing the auction in person. They may be able to notice qualities about the cattle that you cannot see on an Internet feed. You can hire a professional buyer at the auction to help you assess quality, health, and condition. We consider this money well spent. You may not be able to access these traits as well as buyers at the physical auction.
  10. The Buyer owns the livestock if he or she is the highest bid at auction and Buyer’s bid has been accepted. The Buyer cannot thereafter reject the livestock.
  11. Any Buyer under these Terms and Conditions understand and agrees that these Terms and Conditions apply to all purchases of livestock at any of Jordan’s facilities and for any remote or online sales including country cattle sales. The Buyer will be financially responsible for the livestock that are purchased, whether the purchased animals are for the Buyer or a third-party’s benefit. Except for sales where livestock are to be delivered at a later date, accounts must be paid at the time of purchase.
  12. Jordan issues market reports periodically in writing, on its website and through other media and social media channels (“Market Reports”). These Market Reports are for informational purposes only and by reading such reports, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that these Market Reports are merely informational and are relied upon at Buyer’s and Seller’s discretion. Jordan is not responsible for such reliance by any Buyer or Seller or third-party. The prices in the Market Reports represent previously sold livestock. Jordan does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of these Market Reports. Jordan does not guarantee that any price listed in a Market Report is the price that a Seller or Buyer will receive when utilizing Jordan’s Services.
  13. Jordan does not provide veterinary services. Jordan only provides, through an independent contractor, medical treatment or services for livestock as required by the Texas Animal Health Commission or state or federal law.

Condition of the Livestock

  1. Jordan is not responsible for representations regarding any livestock’s standard, quality, health, age, breeding soundness, pedigree, parentage or grade (collectively “Quality”) nor any representations pertaining to sponsorship, approval, source, origin, characteristics, uses, registration status, genetic abnormalities or benefits (collectively “Condition”). All representations made by the Seller to the Buyer and vice versa are said Seller’s or Buyer’s representations. If there is any question or confusion about livestock’s Quality or Condition, the Buyer or Seller acknowledge that any issues will be raised with the respective buyer or seller. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Jordan is not liable, and you agree to not hold Jordan responsible, for any damages or losses resulting directly or indirectly from such representations regarding the Quality or Condition of the livestock. The Buyer is responsible for verifying all representations of the Seller including those passed on by Jordan from the Seller to Buyer. Jordan makes no independent representations about the Quality or Condition of the livestock.
  2. Jordan does not guarantee heifers to be unpregnant or open. Any representation that animals are unpregnant or open cannot be verified by Jordan and must be verified by a licensed veterinarian. The Buyer is responsible for requesting any pregnancy checks to verify that heifers are unpregnant or open, and a pregnancy check shall be at the Buyer’s expense unless an alternative arrangement is negotiated between the Buyer and the Seller. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, Buyer acknowledges that Jordan does not perform any pregnancy testing and does not rely on Jordan for any such testing.
  3. Jordan does not guarantee any heifers to be virgin cattle. The Buyer acknowledges that verification of such a claim is impossible and acknowledges that any heifers sold as virgin are merely represented as unpregnant and not carrying a calf.
  4. Health entry requirements for the state of entry are the responsibility of the Buyer. If health certificates, documentation, or tests are required for shipment to the Buyer’s destination, it shall be at the Buyer’s request and expense.
  5. Seller warrants that Seller has good and marketable title to the livestock and that the livestock will be delivered free of all security interests, liens or encumbrances. If said livestock are subject to a lien, security interest or chattel mortgage such interest shall be satisfied by the Seller prior to or at delivery. SELLER AGREES TO DEFEND TITLE TO THE LIVESTOCK AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD JORDAN AND BUYER HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LOSS OR DAMAGE ON ACCOUNT OF ANY LIENS, ENCUMBRANCES, OR OTHER DEFECTS IN TITLE.
  6. Every effort has been made to assure the correctness of the information published by Jordan in conjunction with Services, either on its website or in printed materials. Any deviations from the information published will be agreed upon by all parties before the sale of the cattle. All announcements from the auction block shall take precedence over published information.

Limitation of Liability

If purchases are not paid as specified under these Terms and Conditions or as required under any contract amending these payment terms, Buyer will agree to pay the interest rate in the contract. If no interest rate is specified, then it will be the highest rate allowed by law until the full amount of the purchase price is paid in full.

    Upon receipt of a fully completed and signed notification form, Jordan will disable access to the allegedly infringing materials and will promptly notify the individual who posted the materials that access has been disabled as is Jordan’s obligation under the Copyright Act.

Access will be restored between the tenth and fourteenth business day after Jordan receives a counter-notification unless you inform us that you have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the individual who made the posting from engaging in infringing activity on Jordan’s network and servers. If Jordan determines that it does not want to restore access to the materials, you will not receive any further notification.
    You should be aware that, under the DMCA, claimants who make misrepresentations concerning copyright infringement may be liable for damages incurred as a result of the removal or blocking of the material, court costs, and attorney’s fees.
