1. Introduction
1.1 Farmnet (Aust) Pty Limited (ACN 081 948 923) (“Farmnet”, “we”, “us”, “our”) provides the Farm Service Manager application (“FSM app”), for users (“you”, “your”) to manage farm machinery service records.
1.2 These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the provision by us of the FSM app (the “Service”) to you. By downloading the FSM app or otherwise using the Service, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately delete the FSM app and cease accessing or using the Service.
1.3 In providing the Service to you, we will need to collect your personal information, and you confirm that all of the information you provide to us, including any personal details, will be complete, true and correct.
1.4 The collection, holding, use and disclosure of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available at Farm Service Manager (“our website”).
1.5 We may amend or update these Terms and will take reasonable steps to bring any material changes to your attention. As you are bound by any amendment to these Terms, you should review these Terms from time to time. By continuing to access or use the Service after any amendments to these Terms, you are deemed to agree to be bound by such changes.
2. Use of the Service and Registration
2.1 In order to use the Service, you must register to use the Service by providing Farmnet with certain true and correct information about yourself (the “User Information”), as requested by the registration page on the Service. You are responsible for the use of the Service, including any information which you receive and store on the FSM app on behalf of someone else. You will not be able to use the Service without registering.
2.2 By signing up to the FSM app and using the Service you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, you confirm that you have permission from your parent or guardian to use the Service.
2.3 You must promptly notify and/or update your profile if any of your User Information, or information you have uploaded on behalf of someone else, is erroneous or changes from time to time. By providing your contact details, you agree to Farmnet contacting you via such means.
2.4 You acknowledge that the information available via the Service is general information only and should not be relied upon or assumed to be correct or appropriate for your circumstances. In particular, we cannot control and take no responsibility for any information input by users and you should undertake your own due diligence rather than relying on it.
3. Security
3.1 You acknowledge that the internet is an inherently insecure communication medium, and you use the Service at your own risk. You agree that we have no responsibility for use, misuse, loss, corruption, interception or delay of information or data uploaded, downloaded, hosted or otherwise communicated via the Service.

4. Intellectual Property Rights
4.1 All intellectual property rights (including copyright, database rights and trade mark rights) subsisting in, relating to or arising out of the Service are owned by and vest in Farmnet (or its licensors). You acknowledge and agree that these Terms do not transfer any right, title or interest in Farmet’s (or its licensors’) intellectual property rights to you, nor may you use Farmnet’s trade marks without our prior written permission.
5. Submitted Materials
5.1 The FSM app allows users to submit information, content and materials (“User Generated Content”) to the Service, for access and use by other users linked to your User Account, and/or Farmnet. Farmnet does not systematically review User Generated Content submitted by users and is not responsible for the accuracy, form or content of any User Generated Content.
5.2 If you choose to submit User Generated Content, you must own or have the right to submit that User Generated Content and it must not: (i) infringe any intellectual property rights (including copyright, database right or trade mark right) of any person or be in breach of any legal duty owed to any person, such as a contractual duty or a duty of confidence; (ii) deceive or be likely to deceive any person; (iii) be used to impersonate any person (including Farmnet and its representatives) or to misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person; or (iv) be illegal, obscene, defamatory, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offence, give rise to civil liability, violate any law or be otherwise inappropriate. If you become aware or reasonably suspect that any third party content on the Service may infringe these requirements, you must promptly inform us.
5.3 You agree that Farmnet may: (i) edit or delete your User Generated Content; (ii) use your User Generated Content for its business purposes; and (iii) directly or indirectly benefit from your User Generated Content.
5.4 Farmnet does not claim any ownership rights in your User Generated Content, however, by submitting User Generated Content you grant Farmnet (and its licensors) an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free and world-wide licence to use that User Generated Content.
