If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, do not access or use the Services. Changes may be made to these Terms from time to time.

In order to open an account we will request certain personal information, including name and email address, and retain the right to request additional information and you agree to provide that information in response to such request. You acknowledge that Farm Dog may, in its sole discretion and at any time, discontinue providing the Services or any part thereof or modify the Services without notice.
- Subscription to the Services. The use of our Services is based on commercial terms and fees set forth at www.farmdog.ag.

You will then be requested to input agronomic information regarding your fields, including, but not limited to, their precise GPS location, the crops being grown, pests, diseases, and other observations identified in the field, pictures taken in relation to observations, and other similar information and pictures (altogether, the “Agronomic Data”). Agronomic Data may also include farm management data and machine data that you may provide as part of your use of the Services. When you sign up on the Services, you represent that all the Agronomic Data that you input is truthful and correct. Your account is subject to termination if you or anyone using your account violates these Terms. If your account is terminated, you may not join Farm Dog again without express permission. You agree to immediately notify Farm Dog of any unauthorized use of your account.

Farm Dog will not be liable for any losses or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account, and you agree to indemnify and hold Farm Dog harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account, including any communications sent and any charges and taxes incurred, unless you have notified us via e-mail to support@farmdog.ag that your account has been compromised, and have requested us to block access to it.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone believed to have engaged in illegal behavior through the Services. Any suspension, termination, or cancellation shall not affect your obligations to Farm Dog and its licensors under these Terms (including but not limited to ownership, indemnification, and limitation of liability), which by their sense and context are intended to survive such suspension, termination, or cancellation.
