FarmScout LLC  |  Effective Date: March 15, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 28, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the FarmScout™ mobile application and website located at farmscout.ai (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Farm Scout LLC ("FarmScout," "we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who We Are

FarmScout™ is a local farm discovery platform that connects consumers with farms, farm stands, nurseries, seafood markets, vineyards, and independent agricultural sellers. Consumers access FarmScout through the iOS and Android mobile apps. Producers access a separate free web-based portal at app.farmscoutapp.com to manage their listings and update real-time inventory and events. FarmScout displays farm listings, inventory, and event updates to help people discover what local producers have available before they visit.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Accounts

Consumer accounts require a valid email address and an active paid subscription to access full directory features on the iOS and Android apps.

Producer (farm) accounts are free and are accessed through the web-based portal at app.farmscoutapp.com. Producers may register to claim or manage their listing and update real-time inventory and events through the portal.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@farmscout.ai if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

FarmScout offers paid consumer subscriptions available through Apple In-App Purchase (iOS) and Google Play Billing (Android). By subscribing, you agree to the applicable platform's payment terms.

- Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

- You may manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings.

- FarmScout does not process payments directly and does not store payment card information.

- Refunds, if any, are governed by Apple's or Google's refund policies, not FarmScout's.

- FarmScout reserves the right to change subscription pricing with reasonable notice.

5. Producer Listings

FarmScout compiles business listings from publicly available sources and producer submissions. Listings may include business name, address, phone number, website, operating hours, product categories, seasonality, and general descriptive information.

Inclusion of a listing does not imply endorsement, partnership, certification, or affiliation with Farm Scout LLC. FarmScout does not independently verify, and does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or current status of, any listing information. Listings are provided as a discovery resource only. Users are encouraged to confirm hours, products, pricing, and any other operational details directly with the business before traveling to or transacting with that business.

If you are an authorized representative of a listed business and wish to update, correct, or request removal of your listing, contact us at privacy@farmscout.ai. We may require reasonable verification before processing changes.

5A. Real-Time Availability and Events

FarmScout may display real-time inventory, product availability, and events for both claimed and unclaimed listings. For claimed listings, this information is provided by the producer ("Farmer Verified"). For unclaimed listings, FarmScout may add availability or event information it observes from publicly available sources — including a producer's public social media posts, information a producer or third party sends or tags to FarmScout by message, text, or email, public directories, and tourism sources. Such information is labeled with the date it was observed (for example, "Inventory Observed [date]"), is unverified, and may be inaccurate or out of date. Users must confirm directly with the business before visiting. Producers may claim their listing at any time to manage this information themselves, or request removal at privacy@farmscout.ai.

5B. Sponsored Content and Advertising

FarmScout may display paid sponsored listings, promotions, and events ("Sponsored Content"). Sponsored Content is identified as sponsored or as an advertisement. FarmScout may target Sponsored Content by approximate proximity to a user's device or searched location (for example, within roughly 100 miles); such proximity targeting is approximate and not guaranteed. Inclusion of Sponsored Content is not an endorsement, and FarmScout is not responsible for advertisers' offers, products, claims, pricing, or conduct. Any transaction or interaction with an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser. FarmScout may accept, decline, or remove any advertiser or Sponsored Content at its sole discretion. Advertisers are subject to a separate advertising agreement.

6. Producer Responsibilities and Content

Producers who claim and manage their listings are solely responsible for all content they submit, including inventory updates, event details, descriptions, and business information. By submitting content, producers represent and warrant that they:

- Own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit the content

- Will not submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, unlawful, or infringing

- Will keep inventory and event information reasonably accurate and timely

FarmScout does not accept photo or logo uploads from producers or any third parties. No image or media files may be submitted through the Service.

FarmScout may remove, suppress, restrict, or modify any listing at its sole discretion, including for policy, legal, or quality reasons, without prior notice.

Certifications and Designations.

The Service may allow producers to self-designate certain business attributes, such as "Certified Organic" or "Veteran-Owned." These designations are self-reported attestations made solely by the producer. By selecting a designation, the producer represents and warrants that it is true, current, and supported by any required certification or documentation (for example, a current USDA organic certification). FarmScout displays these designations as provided by the producer and does not independently verify them. FarmScout may remove or decline to display any designation at its sole discretion.

7. License to Use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, FarmScout grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not:

- Copy, scrape, crawl, or harvest listing data without our written permission;

- Use the Service to build a competing product or service;

- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app;

- Use automated tools to access or interact with the Service;

- Sell, sublicense, or transfer your account or access rights.

- Upload photos, logos, images, or any media files through the Service or the producer portal at app.farmscoutapp.com. No image or media uploads are supported on either platform.

8. Location Data

The Service requests access to your device's location while you are actively using the app in order to show nearby farms and sort results by proximity. Location access is optional. You may deny location permission and use the Service with manual region selection. FarmScout does not collect location data in the background. FarmScout may use your device or searched location to display first-party sponsored content near you, as described in Section 5B and in our Privacy Policy. See our Privacy Policy at farmscout.ai/privacy-policy for full details.

8A. Usage Data and Service Analytics

FarmScout may collect and analyze information about how users interact with the Service, including actions such as viewing listings, searching for products, viewing inventory and events, the general areas users search and the destinations they map to, and requesting directions.

This information may be used to:

- Improve the functionality and performance of the Service

- Understand product demand and usage patterns

- Measure engagement with listings and features

- Generate aggregated, non-identifiable insights that may be shared with producers regarding activity related to their listings

- Decide where to offer first-party sponsored content

This data is recorded in aggregated, anonymous form that is not used to personally identify users, and we do not build advertising or behavioral profiles about individual users. This data is used solely for operating, improving, and delivering core functionality of the Service, including through trusted service providers acting on our behalf, and is not sold or used for third-party advertising. FarmScout may use this data to display its own first-party sponsored content within the Service; advertisers do not receive this data.

FarmScout may also send limited, service-related notifications to request optional feedback about user experiences. Participation in such feedback is voluntary.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services including Google Maps and Apple Maps for direction functionality. These services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. FarmScout is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or conduct of third-party services.

Links or references to third-party websites, farms, or businesses do not constitute an endorsement by FarmScout.

10. Intellectual Property

The FarmScout name, logo, app design, content, and all associated trademarks and trade dress are the property of Farm Scout LLC. All rights reserved. You may not use FarmScout's trademarks or branding without our prior written consent.

FarmScout™ is a trademark of Farm Scout LLC, with a pending federal trademark application filed January 27, 2026.

11. Accuracy Disclaimer

FarmScout does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any listing information, inventory data, event information, hours of operation, or other content displayed in the Service. Farm availability, hours, inventory, and events change frequently. Users should confirm all details directly with the farm or producer before visiting. FarmScout is not responsible for seller conduct, product quality, pricing, or any transaction between a user and a producer.

Listing information is compiled from publicly available sources, third-party directories, and content submitted by listed producers who have claimed their listings, as well as inventory and event information FarmScout observes from public sources for unclaimed listings. FarmScout does not independently verify, and does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or current status of, any listing information regardless of source.

FarmScout does not verify the safety, quality, regulatory compliance, labeling, or production methods of any product offered by a listed business. Certain products — including but not limited to raw dairy, unpasteurized juices, wild-caught or aquaculture seafood, eggs, honey, plants, and direct-from-farm meats — may be subject to state or federal regulations that limit their sale, distribution, or intended use. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws and for evaluating the suitability of any product for your own consumption or other use, including any health, allergy, or dietary considerations.

Businesses may close, relocate, change ownership, alter products, or change hours at any time without notice to FarmScout. Listings may include or reference information sourced from third parties (including the listed businesses themselves, public directories, social media, and tourism organizations). FarmScout does not control, endorse, or guarantee third-party content and is not responsible for it. FarmScout makes reasonable efforts to keep listings current but does not guarantee real-time accuracy and is not obligated to update any specific listing on any schedule. Badges or indicators displayed in the Service, such as "Organic" or "Veteran-Owned," reflect self-reported attestations by the listed producer and are not verified or endorsed by FarmScout.
