Fraudulent buyers may be reported to relevant state and federal law enforcement agencies and Global Handicaps will cooperate to ensure that violators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

7. Authentication and Security
Authenticating persons is difficult over the Internet. Consequently, Global Handicaps cannot and does not positively verify the identity of any user involved in third-party transactions. Global Handicaps strongly urges you to be aware of the risks in dealing with people whom you do not know and that Global Handicaps has no control over these risks. Global Handicaps attempts to assist by offering a safeguard in requiring sellers to be current Global Handicaps membership holders, but this is not foolproof and there are no assurances this system will be accurate or that it cannot be manipulated. In general you should always act with care and communicate with the person on the other side of the transaction to help you evaluate that person, but also to do so thoughtfully and carefully so as not to make yourself unduly vulnerable to someone you do not know.

USE OF COOKIES
A Cookie is a tiny piece of text that a Web site desires to transfer to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Your browser can be set to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. If your browser does agree to accept the cookie, it is added to your hard drive as a small file; if your browser declines the cookie, Global Handicaps Online will try to send you one with every hit until you accept it. This means every page and item on that page you request from Global Handicaps Online will come with a cookie request unless you already have one.

A cookie's purpose is to let us know that you are a returning visitor to Global Handicaps Online and restore your settings from your privious visit. This cookie, by itself, doesn't tell us your e-mail address or who you are. If you want to give us that information later via sign-in or online purchase, that's your choice. There are several immediate advantages on Global Handicaps Online that you will see through the use of cookies: personalized events, offers, and site access are easier to use with the cookie technology. A cookie also tells us what pages are being used and which ones aren't, helping us make improvements to Global Handicaps Online to better meet your needs and cut down on pages that don't get used.

We want to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you. We know that a lot of people have concerns about cookies, but in talking with many of our users we feel that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. We value the relationships we have with our customers and future customers, so we respect these concerns.

BROWSER SECURITY

Providing you with a secure online experience is a top priority of Global Handicaps. We recognize that your privacy and security are of the utmost importance, and we have devoted a great deal of effort to ensure that your personal information is safeguarded.

If you use a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater) paying attention to two browser features will decrease the chances for the unintended or fraudulent use of your personal information:

1. Browser security settings.
Your browser security preference settings are your first line of defense to stopping the theft or unwanted viewing of confidential, personal information. The most popular browsers offer you the ability to receive an alert or notification if any of the following happen or are about to occur:

  • changing between secure and insecure transmission modes
  • receiving an invalid site identification for the site to which you are about to transmit
  • sending a transmission over an "open" or unsecured connection

Check the settings of your browser security features to see all the checks that are possible and those that are currently in place.

2. Browser security signals.
The presence of security measures surrounding the entry of data on a web page is identified in several ways for you on your browser:

  • the URL identifying the page will always begin with "https://" versus the normal "http://".
  • a security symbol will appear to indicate operation in a mode that supports secure transmissions: either a "closed lock" icon is present in the bottom right-hand corner of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser screen, or an "unbroken key" icon appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Netscape Navigator browser screen

If not using a browser with these standard security features, or if you are still uncomfortable with submitting your personal information via the Internet for any reason, please feel free to contact us at our feedback page.

ENCRYPTION PROTECTION
Encryption is a process by which software is used to scramble sensitive information while it is in transit to and from Global Handicaps Online. Providing encrypted information online has proven overall to be as safe as providing it over the phone. Global Handicaps Online currently uses the industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption protocol, but we continue to keep up with current Internet technologies in order to provide the best security for our customers.

SSL encryption is based on a key that has two different parts: the public part and the private part. The public part of Global Handicaps Online's security key is sent to your browser and is used to encrypt your sensitive information before it is sent across the Internet to us. That means, if at any point during the transmission your information is intercepted, it is scrambled and extremely difficult to decrypt. Once your encrypted information arrives, our servers use the private part of Global Handicaps Online's security key to decode your browser transmission.

Global Handicaps Online encrypts your credit card information. All credit cards used at Global Handicaps Online are submitted online. Once submitted, we store credit card information on a secured database. After you key it in, your card information is stored into this database and is only accessed to charge your account or verify your identity; this information is stored in no other place.

ARBITRATION.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Dispute Resolution: In the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, the relationship between Equine Network, LLC ("EN") and you (including but not limited to your membership with Global Handicaps), or any other dispute between EN and you (including but not limited to disputes regarding any claim, demand, or liability for personal injuries or property damage arising from participation or use and enjoyment of any sponsored event and facilities, claims of negligence, breach of contract, fraud or any claims based upon a written law and any disputes concerning any agents, partners, employees, officers, insurers, related entities, or persons of either you or EN), both EN and you agree to final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") applying New Mexico law, including in connection with any issue relating to the scope or proper interpretation of this arbitration obligation.

Either party may initiate the arbitration process by filing an initiating document with American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), or alternatively a mutually agreed upon arbitrator or arbitration service, under the applicable commercial arbitration rules for the AAA or the mutually agreed upon arbitration service. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the arbitration will be conducted in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

EN and you agree to share equally in the cost of the arbitration, except that each side is responsible for its own attorney's fees and costs, unless the Arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was put forward in bad faith or in a frivolous manner, resulting in a reallocation of fees or costs as the Arbitrator may reasonably decide.

Unless this provision is prohibited by applicable law, you expressly represent and agree that in any dispute or arbitration proceeding, you can and will only seek to represent and advance your own interests; you shall be prohibited from seeking to assert a claim on behalf of any other party or person, either on a multi-party, representative, or class action basis; and in no event shall you be entitled to seek punitive or exemplary damages, or consequential or remote damages, in the absence of proof of knowing and intentional misconduct expressly approved or ratified by EN.

It is important that you make an informed decision about the implications of arbitration and that you understand the advantages and disadvantages of forgoing a judicial forum and proceeding with arbitration if a dispute arises. You agree that this dispute resolution process is not required by law, regulation, or ethical standard, but is an important provision to EN that is required in the acceptance of your membership to participate in a Global Handicaps and/or GEMS event. By entering into this binding arbitration provision, you agree and acknowledge that:

  • You and EN are waiving the right to submit the dispute to a judge or jury, although you and EN both retain the right to seek immediate injunctive or declaratory relief, including relief by ex parte expedited proceedings, in the case of breaches of confidence or violations of law or equity that require immediate judicial intervention in the protection of either, or both, parties' protected privacy, safety, or ethical rights or interests;
  • Pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited, and different from, the discovery allowed in court proceedings, and you and EN jointly request that the Arbitrator affirmatively prohibit discovery unless it is deemed actually necessary to the preparation of a party's case, in conformity with principles of due process, with the Arbitrator still directed to impose reasonable time, manner, and location limitations in order to expedite the discovery and overall resolution of the dispute;
  • The Arbitrator's award is not required to include factual findings or legal reasonings, and it may contain factual or legal errors that cannot be reviewed on appeal or through separate legal challenge;
  • This Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. ("FAA");
  • The Arbitrator is entitled to grant any remedy that an administrative agency, court, or jury would be entitled to issue, except for those damages or limitations noted above; and
  • Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of the state or federal district court for the purpose of entry of the Judgment and any requirements contained therein.

By signing this Agreement and becoming a member of Global Handicaps (a complimentary Global Handicaps membership is included in the purchase of a WSTR, USTRC, Key Card, and Key Card Max membership), you warrant that you have received sufficient information regarding the arbitration process and have had the opportunity to seek any advice from independent counsel in reviewing the Agreement and its arbitration provision, allowing you to make an informed decision with respect to forgoing a judicial forum. In addition to the information about arbitration provided above, the rules and regulations for arbitrations conducted by the AAA are available for review on their website at www.adr.org. If you have any questions, you may contact consult your own independent counsel.

Further, Equine Network, LLC, dba, Global Handicaps and/or GEMS has the right to refuse entry to anyone for any reason it deems necessary, including but not limited to classification issues.

If signing for any minors under eighteen (18) years old, please list the names, ages, and relationship to you on this release.
