1. INTRODUCTION

AGvisorPRO Inc. (“AGvisorPRO”, “we”, “us” or “our”) owns and operates the website www.agvisorpro.com and other subdomains (the “Website”) and the AGvisorPRO mobile application (the “App”). The Website and App provide an online service (the “Service”) that connects cultivators of various crops and the raising and management of livestock (each individually a “Grower” and collectively the “Growers”) who seeks the advice of agricultural experts (each individually an “Advisor” and collectively the “Advisors”) with respect to the Grower’s crop, livestock, business management, equipment-software, human resources, market and mental health through voice, text, video and other meetings and provides a platform that allows Growers to connect with their cultivation teams.

This terms of service (the “Terms of Service”) applies to all Growers, Advisors and any other registered user of the Service and users of the Website and App (collectively, “you”, “your”, “he/she”, “they” and “Users”). You understand and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service whether you register to use the Services or not. If you do not agree with the Terms of Service then you have no right to continue using or accessing the Service, other Users and AGvisorPRO content.

AGvisorPRO may change this Terms of Service from time to time without giving notice to the Users and to be effective upon posting of an updated version of the terms on the Website and/or App. The Terms of Service may have changed since your last visit to the Website or App. It is your responsibility to review the Terms of Service for any changes. AGvisorPRO encourages you to check the Website and App periodically for said changes. Your use after any amendments or updates of the Terms of Service shall signify your assent to and acceptance of such revised terms. Any new features that may be added to the Website or App from time to time will be subject to the Terms of Service, unless stated otherwise.

Please note that important information about AGvisorPRO’s practices on the collection, use and disclosure of Users’ personal information submitted via the Website or the App is governed by our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated into this Terms of Service. Please see further: https://www.agvisorpro.com/privacy-policy

In addition to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, Growers and Advisors may be subject to additional terms agreed upon in separate agreements with AGvisorPRO in respect of the Services. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Services and the separate agreement you may have with AGvisorPRO the terms of the separate agreement will govern.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please be aware that sections 5 and 6 contain important disclaimers and limitations of liability. Additionally, section 15 governs how claims that you and we have against each other are resolved, including, without limitation, any claims that arose or were asserted prior to the effective date of these Terms of Service. In particular, it contains an alternative dispute resolution process and you will only be permitted to pursue claims and seek relief against us on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding and you are waiving your right to seek relieve in a court of law and to have a jury trial on your claims.
