Terms of Use

Plain-language SCI policy. Contact SCI if you need this information in another format or have a question.

Effective Date: September 9, 2026

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of sladekcattleinvestments.com and the information, reports, directories, communications, tools, and services provided by Sladek Cattle Investments (“SCI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms of Use.

Informational Purposes

SCI provides cattle market information and industry resources that may include sale-barn directories, market reports, price information, USDA-derived information, annual sale information, ranch and sale listings, cattle-related announcements, and other livestock-market information.

This information is provided for general informational purposes.

SCI makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information but does not guarantee that any information is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for a particular transaction.

Market Information and Prices

Livestock markets can change rapidly.

Prices, head counts, weight classes, market averages, ranges, sale results, market summaries, and other information displayed by SCI may originate from sale barns, USDA reports, ranches, auction companies, publicly available materials, or other third-party sources.

Information may be delayed, incomplete, revised, incorrectly reported, or affected by data-entry, transmission, source, or technical errors.

Users should independently verify information before making buying, selling, transportation, breeding, financing, or investment decisions.

Past market information does not guarantee future cattle prices or market conditions.

No Guarantee of Sales or Events

SCI may provide information concerning cattle auctions, private treaty sales, production sales, field days, and other events.

Sale dates, times, locations, cattle offerings, catalogs, availability, terms, and other information may change without notice.

Users should confirm material information directly with the ranch, sale barn, auction company, seller, or event organizer before traveling, bidding, purchasing, or making other commitments.

Third-Party Cattle and Listings

References to cattle, ranches, breeders, sellers, sale barns, buyers, haulers, auction companies, or other businesses do not constitute an SCI warranty or guarantee.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, SCI does not warrant:

• Cattle health;

• Genetics or EPD information;

• Pedigree;

• Fertility or pregnancy status;

• Age;

• Weight;

• Structural soundness;

• Disposition;

• Breeding status;

• Registration status;

• Ownership;

• Title;

• Transportation;

• Market value; or

• Suitability for a particular operation.

Buyers and sellers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence before completing a cattle transaction.

Cattle Sourcing and Buyer Requests

SCI may accept cattle sourcing requests, buyer inquiries, or similar requests.

Submission or acceptance of a request does not guarantee that SCI will locate cattle, secure a particular price, arrange transportation, identify a buyer or seller, or complete a transaction.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement, information submitted through the website does not create an agency, brokerage, fiduciary, partnership, joint venture, employment, or other special relationship between SCI and the user.

Any future cattle procurement, brokerage, transportation coordination, or related service offered by SCI may be subject to separate terms, agreements, fees, and applicable licensing or regulatory requirements.

No Investment, Veterinary, Tax, or Legal Advice

Information provided by SCI does not constitute investment, financial, veterinary, tax, or legal advice.

Users should consult appropriate qualified professionals concerning their individual circumstances.

USDA and Third-Party Information

SCI may summarize, organize, display, or link to information originating from the United States Department of Agriculture and other government or third-party sources.

SCI is an independent business and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the USDA unless expressly stated otherwise.

Third-party names, trademarks, and information remain the property of their respective owners.

Third-Party Links

The website may link to ranches, sale barns, auction companies, cattle organizations, government agencies, and other third parties.

SCI does not control these websites and is not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, products, services, policies, or content.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

Intellectual Property

Except for third-party materials, government information, trademarks, or content identified as belonging to others, the SCI website's original design, branding, written market analysis, organization, graphics, compilations, and other original content are owned by or licensed to Sladek Cattle Investments and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Users may view and use SCI information for their own legitimate personal or business cattle-market purposes.

Users may not systematically scrape, reproduce, republish, sell, license, redistribute, or create a competing commercial database from SCI's proprietary content without written permission.

Website Availability

SCI does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted website availability.

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, correct, or update any part of the website or service without notice.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLADEK CATTLE INVESTMENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE WEBSITE OR INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH IT.

SCI SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN CATTLE PRICES, INACCURATE OR DELAYED MARKET INFORMATION, CANCELLED OR MODIFIED SALES, THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT, TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, CATTLE CONDITION, OR A USER'S BUYING OR SELLING DECISIONS.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, users agree to indemnify and hold SCI harmless from claims, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from their unlawful misuse of the website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute shall be subject to the jurisdiction of courts of competent jurisdiction in Texas, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
