Terms and Conditions of Use

Effective date: 20 May 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of the OneStride mobile application, the website www.onestride.ch, and all related services (collectively, the "Platform"). By registering an account, publishing a listing, or using the search, matching, chat, or newsletter functions, you agree to these Terms.

OneStride is operated by Manon Rudin, a private individual based at Im Rüeblig 2, 8117 Fällanden, Switzerland ("we", "our", "us"). OneStride is not yet a registered company. These Terms apply alongside our Privacy Policy.

Important — please read in full: OneStride is purely a technical platform that connects buyers, sellers, dealers and yards in the equestrian sport-horse market. We are not a broker, agent, dealer, auctioneer, escrow service, mediator, insurer, or guarantor of any kind. We do not become a party to any transaction, contract, or in-person interaction arising from the Platform. Any meeting, trial ride, pre-purchase examination, payment, transport, or sale takes place exclusively between the users involved and at their own risk.

The Platform is currently free to use. Certain features may in future become paid (for example premium listings, boost features, dealer subscriptions). Where applicable:

14.1 Platform provided "as is"

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from harmful components, or that any specific result will be achieved.

Any claim against OneStride must be brought within 12 months from the date on which you became aware (or should reasonably have become aware) of the facts giving rise to the claim, and in any event no later than 3 years after the underlying event, to the extent permitted by mandatory law.
