Terms of use.

01 · Informational use

Market data is context, not a promise.

Livestock prices vary by animal, class, condition, lot, buyer, location, sale terms, fees, and timing. A published report, comparison, or calculator result is informational. It is not a guaranteed selling price, formal appraisal, offer to buy or sell, accounting valuation, lending value, or veterinary advice.

Readers remain responsible for checking the stated date, unit, statistic, class match, source, assumptions, and current conditions before making a decision.

Haul comparisons use the latest compatible published report, round-trip mileage you enter or verified provider mileage when available, and the vehicle, capacity, loaded-MPG, and fuel-price assumptions shown with the plan. Route, fuel, gross-sale, and after-haul totals are estimates. Commissions, yardage, shrink, supplements, insurance, and other sale costs may be unknown or excluded. Auction pricing is a marker of the current market, not a guaranteed sale price.

02 · Sources and rights

Citations do not erase upstream rights.

LMP separates third-party source reports from normalized factual observations and its own calculations. Auction, publisher, USDA, and other source credit should remain attached to the applicable record. A citation or public link does not mean LMP owns every upstream document, image, commentary passage, trademark, or other protected material.

When data is copied, published, or redistributed, the original source name and exact source link must remain attached to the applicable values. Do not present an upstream observation or an LMP-derived comparison, normalization, or valuation as your own original data. Reuse must also follow the rights guidance carried with the applicable dataset or interface.

Public market facts are aggregated into a combined view and remain free to browse. LMP does not sell ownership of upstream data. A paid membership, when activated, covers convenience features such as saved work, analytics, and requested alerts—not a claim over the underlying public facts.

A source owner or authorized representative may request an attribution review, correction, integration discussion, or removal of affected data by emailing data@livestockmarketprices.com. LMP will verify the relationship to the source and preserve the resulting decision in its correction or rights history.

03 · Acceptable use

Keep public access useful and safe.

Public pages and practical machine-readable interfaces are intended for reasonable use. Users must not bypass access controls or rate limits, probe private or administrative records, submit malicious files or instructions, disrupt availability, impersonate an auction operator, misstate source credit, or use LMP to facilitate unlawful activity.

Ordinary public data access is not conditioned on buying a membership. Specific API limits, representation rights, and attribution guidance may accompany a published interface or snapshot.

04 · Accounts and passkeys

Keep control of your account.

You may create a free account with an email address you control and a passkey on your device or password manager. Keep your passkey and signed-in devices secure, use the account only for yourself or an organization you are authorized to represent, and tell us if you believe someone else has accessed it.

Creating an account does not start a paid subscription and does not enroll you in marketing, price alerts, or text messages. LMP may restrict or end access used to bypass controls, harm the service, impersonate another person, or violate these terms.

05 · Membership

Public information stays public.

Public market information does not require a paid membership. A free account can save one market. The current Member offer is $2 per month, billed annually at $24 per year after paid enrollment becomes available, for personal tools such as Trends, dedicated comparisons, saved work, planning, requested alerts, and Member AI support.

Paid enrollment is coming soon. Before any purchase, LMP will show the charge, included features, renewal terms, cancellation choices, and any applicable refund or tax information. Creating a free account by itself does not create a charge.

06 · Email and text choices

Each alert channel needs its own choice.

Account enrollment, recovery, and essential service messages are separate from optional price or marketing alerts. Choosing an email alert does not authorize text messages. Agreeing to text alerts does not authorize marketing email. Communication consent is not a condition of creating an account, viewing public data, or purchasing a membership.

Email alerts must be requested and can be paused or deleted from the Notifications page. If you receive an optional marketing email, use its unsubscribe control. Service and security messages needed to administer an account may still be sent.

When text delivery is available, Member and Pro include up to eight one-segment text alerts per month. Frequency depends on the alerts you choose; message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to end texts and HELP for help. Use beyond the included allowance requires a separately purchased prepaid block, and LMP does not apply an automatic overage.

Alerts are a convenience and may be delayed or missed. Do not rely on an email or text alert as the only way to monitor a market.

07 · AI product support

Support can explain LMP, not act for you.

Member AI support may send your question and limited product context to an AI service provider to prepare an answer. Do not include confidential records or personal and animal details that are not needed for the question.

An AI answer may be incomplete or wrong. It cannot change your account, approve a source, publish data, complete a transaction, or replace the dated source-linked market record. Review the applicable report and source before relying on market information.

08 · Corrections and availability

Published records can be revised.

Source reports can be corrected, withdrawn, delayed, or unavailable. We label report dates and record corrections when appropriate. Missing data is not a zero price.

Availability, coverage, and third-party services cannot be guaranteed. Questions about a source, correction, or removal can be sent to data@livestockmarketprices.com.

09 · Updates and questions

The date above identifies these terms.

When these terms change, LMP will update the date above. Material changes to an account, paid feature, or communication program will be described before they apply when notice is reasonably possible.

Questions about public data, attribution, corrections, removals, or these data-use terms may be sent to data@livestockmarketprices.com.
