When you visit our Site or use our App as a buyer, seller, browser, or in any capacity, you agree to be bound by the last amended version of this user agreement (“User Agreement”) and all of our other terms and conditions and policies, some of which are identified below or hyperlinked within this User Agreement or otherwise available on our Site or App (together, referred to as our “Terms”). For sake of clarity, we use the term “you” interchangeably for all users, buyers, or sellers, whether you buy or sell anything with our Site or application, or browse the site, regardless of intent. 

By visiting or using this Site or the App, you agree that you will be bound by the most recent version of our Terms. Our Terms will be updated from time to time and any changes will apply prospectively. You are advised to check our Terms for updates or changes that may impact you.

About Farmish

Farmish is a marketplace that allows users to offer, sell, and buy goods and services within the following categories: homegrown produce, animal products, plants/trees, and garden supplies to and from various geographic locations via the Farmish App (hereafter referred to as “products,” “goods,” or “items”). Through the App, buyers search for goods by keyword or location and message the seller to arrange the transaction. Farmish is not a party to any transaction or contract, whether written or oral, for the sale of items or services when a user uses Famish Services, whether the Site or App. All transactions between sellers and buyers occur outside Farmish’s Site or App.

We may help facilitate the resolution of disputes between buyers and sellers through various programs. Unless otherwise expressly provided, Farmish has no control over and does not guarantee: the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

Using Farmish’s App

If you’re accessing Farmish from a mobile device using the App, Farmish grants you the right to use the App only for your personal use. You must comply with all applicable laws and third-party agreements (e.g. your wireless data service agreement) when using the App, which may not contain the same functionality available on Farmish websites.

Farmish owns, or is the licensee to, all right, title, and interest in and to its Apps, including all rights under patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or unfair competition law, and any and all other proprietary rights, including all applications, renewals, extensions, and restorations thereof. You will not modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any App and you will not remove, obscure, or alter Farmish’s copyright notice, trademarks or other proprietary rights notices affixed to, contained within, or accessed in conjunction with or by any Farmish App. See the “Content” section of this User Agreement for more information.

Apps or their underlying technology may not be downloaded to or exported or re-exported: (a) into (or to a resident or national of) any country subject to United States embargo; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Party or Entity List; and (c) to any prohibited country, person, end-user, or entity specified by U.S. export laws. When using an App, you are responsible for complying with trade regulations and both foreign and domestic laws (e.g., you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties).

Your Account with Farmish

You’ll need to create an account with Farmish to use some of our Services. Here are a few rules about accounts with Farmish:

  • You must be 18 years or older to use our Services. Minors under 18 and at least 13 years of age are only permitted to use our Services through an account owned by a parent or legal guardian with their appropriate permission and under their direct supervision. Children under 13 years are not permitted to use Farmish or the Services. You are responsible for any and all account activity conducted by a minor on your account, and there may be commercial products or services available that you may want to consider to limit a minor’s access to material online. For more information, see Farmish’s Minors Policy.
  • Be honest with us. Provide accurate information about yourself. It’s prohibited to use false information or impersonate another person or company through your account.
  • Choose an appropriate name. If you decide to not have your full name serve as the name associated with your account, you may not use language that is offensive, vulgar, infringes someone’s intellectual property rights, or otherwise violates the Terms.
  • You’re responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. If you’re registering as a business entity, you personally guarantee that you have the authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of the business. Also, your accounts are not transferable.
  • Protect your password. As we mentioned above, you’re solely responsible for any activity on your account, so it’s important to keep your account password secure. Here’s a Help article on how to make your account more secure.
  • These Terms don’t create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship between you and Farmish.

Respecting other Users’ Privacy

In using Farmish Services, sellers may need to process other users’ personal information (for example, buyer name, email address, and shipping address) and are therefore, sellers are considered separate and independent data controllers of buyers’ personal information under EU law. That means that each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing the Services. For example, if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer’s name and email address when fulfilling another buyer’s order, the seller, not Farmish, will be responsible for that unauthorized disclosure.  

If, however, Farmish and sellers are found to be joint data controllers of buyers’ personal information, and if Farmish is sued, fined, or otherwise incurs expenses because of something that you did as a joint data controller of buyer personal information, you agree to indemnify Farmish for the expenses it occurs in connection with your processing of buyer personal information. 

Termination

We’d hate to see you go, but you may terminate your account with Farmish at any time from your account settings. Terminating your account will not immediately affect the availability of some of your content or listings that you posted through the Services prior to termination. 

We may terminate or suspend your account (and any accounts Farmish determines are related to your account) and your access to the Services should we have reason to believe you, your content, or your use of the Services violate our Terms. If we do so, it’s important to understand that you don’t have a contractual or legal right to continue to use our Services, for example, to sell or buy on our Site or App. Generally, Farmish will notify you that your account has been terminated or suspended, unless you’ve repeatedly violated our Terms or we have legal or regulatory reasons preventing us from notifying you.

If you or Farmish terminate your account, you may lose any information associated with your account, including content and listings.

Farmish reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any of the Services for you, any or all users, at any time, for any reason, including those laid out in Farmish’s policies under this User Agreement or other Terms. We will not be liable to you for the effect that any changes to the Services may have on you, including your income or your ability to generate revenue through the Services.

All Terms remain in effect during the use of the Site, App, or Services. Some Terms will remain in effect even after your access to the Service is terminated, or your use of the Service ends, see under “General” of this User Agreement.
