3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SUBSCRIPTION

3.1. Account Registration

To use the SeedLeaf Platform, you must register an account.

By registering an account on the SeedLeaf Platform, you represent and warrant that all account information you submit is your own information and is truthful and accurate. You acknowledge and agree that we may immediately suspend or terminate your account and your access to the SeedLeaf Platform if we have any reason to believe that you have misrepresented or provided false account information to us.

It is your responsibility to keep your farm’s SeedLeaf account information (including contact, billing, and other information about your farm) accurate and current. This includes updating your farm’s account information in the event of a change of ownership of your farm. For example, if your farm is sold or transferred to a new owner, your farm’s SeedLeaf account will need be updated to reflect the new owner’s information, and by continuing to use the account, the new owner will be deemed to have accepted, and will be bound by, these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. Failure to keep your farm’s account information up to date may result in suspension or cancellation of the account (at SeedLeafs’s sole discretion). As the account holder, you are responsible for safeguarding your farm’s account login information, and you should notify us immediately in the event your account login has been stolen, lost, or used by another without your permission. If your farm’s account has two or more authorized users, you are responsible for all your farm users’ activities under the account.

3.2 Subscription

Access to certain tools and service features on the SeedLeaf Platform may require a paid subscription (“Subscription”). Subscription may be month-to-month or on a yearly (i.e., 12 months) basis.

    1. By purchasing a Subscription, you represent and warrant that you are the account holder (or an authorized user) of the credit/debit card or payment account that you use to pay for your Subscription purchase, and such payment card or account has sufficient funds to cover your Subscription purchase. You acknowledge and agree that we may immediately suspend or terminate your Subscription and your access to the SeedLeaf Platform if we have any reason to believe that you have misrepresented or provided false payment information to us.
    2. Once your Subscription purchase is processed and completed, we will send you a Subscription confirmation email that includes details about your Subscription, including the start date and end date of your Subscription, your renewal option, and the applicable Subscription fee charged to your payment card or account. If you believe there is an error in any detail about your Subscription, please immediately contact our customer service at accounts@seedleaf.co.
    3. Unless you cancel your Subscription before its scheduled end date pursuant to Section 3.2(5) below, all Subscriptions are subject to automatic renewal, which means that, on the scheduled end date of your Subscription, your payment card/account that is on file with SeedLeaf will automatically be charged the then-applicable Subscription fee for a new Subscription term. A monthly Subscription will automatically renew for another month, and a yearly Subscription will automatically renew for another 12-month period; except that you may elect to have your Subscription renewed to a different plan (i.e., from monthly to yearly, or from yearly to monthly).
    4. Unless expressly otherwise indicated by SeedLeaf, a purchased Subscription is NON-REFUNDABLE. This means that if you cancel your Subscription before its scheduled end date, cancellation will not take effect until the scheduled end date of your Subscription, and the Subscription fee you already paid will not be refunded
    5. All cancellation requests must be submitted electronically by clicking “Cancel Subscription” in the Billing and Subscription settings of the web application. Once processing is completed, we will send you a cancellation confirmation via email, and you will have access to your account until the end of the paid billing cycle. Once cancellation takes effect, you will no longer have access to those tools and service features covered by your cancelled Subscription, including any User Content you have stored on the SeedLeaf Platform using those tools and service features. It is your responsibility to download such stored User Content from the SeedLeaf Platform prior to cancelling your Subscription. Upon cancellation of your Subscription, we reserve the right to delete such stored User Content from the SeedLeaf Platform.
      IMPORTANT: If you do not want your Subscription renewed, please be sure to cancel your Subscription prior to its scheduled end date. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that your Subscription will be cancelled in time so that you won’t be charged for renewal.
    6. From time to time we may offer our users an opportunity to try out some of our Subscription-based tools and features for free for a limited time (“Free Trial”). If you participate in a Free Trial, you will pay nothing during the specified trial period for using the applicable tools and features. At the conclusion of the Free Trial, you will need to purchase a Subscription if you wish to continue to use the applicable tools and features.
    7. We reserve the right to change our Subscription plan terms (including pricing) at any time. If you have an existing Subscription, we will notify you of any price change for the upcoming renewal term at least fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the renewal term in which the new price will be effective, and such notice may be sent via email and/or posted directly to your account on the SeedLeaf Platform.

        IMPORTANT: If you do not cancel your Subscription prior to its scheduled end date pursuant to Section 3.2(5) above, you will be deemed to have agreed to the new price and have authorized us to charge your payment card/account based on the new price at the time of renewal of your Subscription.

                          7. the conduct of your farm business, including any of your business or trade practices.

                        NOTE: This provision does not require you to indemnify any of SeedLeaf and Related Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party, or for such party’s negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact in connection with the SeedLeaf Platform.

                        SeedLeaf reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the legal defense of a Third Party Claim for which you are required to indemnify SeedLeaf and its Suppliers, and you agree to fully cooperate with SeedLeaf in such legal defense. You agree not to settle any Third Party Claim for which you are required to indemnify SeedLeaf and its Suppliers, without the express prior written consent of SeedLeaf. SeedLeaf will use reasonable efforts to notify you in the event SeedLeaf receives notice of a Third Party Claim for which you are required to indemnify SeedLeaf and its Suppliers; however, SeedLeaf’s failure to so notify you will not in any way excuse or relieve you from your indemnity obligations hereunder.

                        5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY 

                        By using the SeedLeaf Platform, you acknowledge and agree as follows:

                        1. THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ALL SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE AND SEEDLEAF CONTENT) AND ALL USER CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SEEDLEAF AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ALL SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE AND SEEDLEAF CONTENT) AND ALL USER CONTENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES OF TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, SEEDLEAF AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT: 

                        (A) THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ALL SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE AND SEEDLEAF CONTENT) AND ALL USER CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, ERROR-FREE, UP TO DATE, COMPLETE, OR USEFUL, OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION;

                        (B) ANY DEFECT OR ERROR IN THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ANY SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE OR SEEDLEAF CONTENT) OR IN ANY USER CONTENT WILL BE CORRECTED; OR 

                        (C) THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ALL SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE AND SEEDLEAF CONTENT) AND ALL USER CONTENT WILL BE SECURE AND FREE OF ANY VIRUS OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENT. ANY USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ANY SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE OR SEEDLEAF CONTENT) OR ANY USER CONTENT IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

                        1. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SEEDLEAF AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER USER (WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY) FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF SALES, LOSS OF INCOME, REVENUE OR PROFIT, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOST OR WASTED STAFF TIME) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ANY SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE OR SEEDLEAF CONTENT), OR ANY USER CONTENT, OR YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE SEEDLEAF PLATFORM (INCLUDING ANY SEEDLEAF SOFTWARE OR SEEDLEAF CONTENT) OR ANY USER CONTENT, EVEN IF SEEDLEAF AND ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES.
                        2. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SEEDLEAF AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO ANY USER FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE AMOUNT (IF ANY) ACTUALLY PAID BY SUCH USER DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT FOR WHICH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED.

                        BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES, SOME OF THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. ACCORDINGLY, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6 AFFECTS ANY WARRANTIES, DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

                        6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER; CHOICE OF LAW

                        1. We encourage you to contact our Customer Service department if you have concerns or complaints about the SeedLeaf Platform. Generally, customer complaints can be satisfactorily resolved in this way. If we cannot resolve your concerns informally, disputes between you and SeedLeaf shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 6 – DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
                        2. You and SeedLeaf agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the dispute or claim) relating to the SeedLeaf Platform, including, without limitation, all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of your relationship with SeedLeaf, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, that arose either before or during this, or any prior, version of these Terms of Use, or that may arise after termination of your relationship with SeedLeaf.
                        3. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to limited review by courts. Under this Agreement, arbitrators can award the same individual relief affecting individual parties that a court can award, including damages and an award of attorneys’ fees, if the applicable law allows. BY AGREEING TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND SEEDLEAF AGREE TO EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR COURT (except small claims court). Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court for disputes or claims that are within the scope of the small claims court’s authority.
                        4. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
                        5. In the event that you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, SeedLeaf will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation. SeedLeaf also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration. However, SeedLeaf will not pay your share of the arbitration fees if the arbitrator finds that either your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
                        6. YOU AND SEEDLEAF AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR SEEDLEAF WILL BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. You and SeedLeaf agree to seek only such individual relief – whether in the form of individual damages, an individualized injunction, or other non-monetary individual relief – as is necessary to resolve any individual injury that either you or SeedLeaf has suffered or may suffer.
                        7. The requirement that claims be brought in binding arbitration only in an individual capacity and not as a representative, private attorney general, or class member (“Class Action Waiver”) is non-severable. If the Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, with the exception of the next sentence. In the event the Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, or in the event the agreement to arbitrate is found to not apply to a dispute, that such action between you and SeedLeaf shall proceed in the federal or provincial courts located in British Columbia, Canada.
                        8. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, SeedLeaf agrees that if SeedLeaf makes any change to this arbitration provision, such change will not be applicable to any dispute to which you had previously provided notice to SeedLeaf.
                        9. If you do not want to be bound to this agreement to arbitrate, you must opt out of it within 30 days of it first becoming applicable to you (i.e., within 30 days of you first agreeing to a version of these Terms of Use containing an arbitration agreement). To opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, you must send a letter or postcard to SeedLeaf‘s headquarters, to the attention of the “Legal Department” and state that you do not want to be bound by this arbitration agreement. SeedLeaf is located in Victoria, BC, Canada, V9A 4C9.
                        10. These Terms of Use and your use of the SeedLeaf Platform are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

                        7. CHANGES TO TERMS

                        From time to time, we may also modify these Terms of Use to accommodate new technology, industry practices, regulatory requirements, or for other purposes. If we make material changes to these Terms of Use that would impact your continued use of the SeedLeaf Platform, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such changes (including through email and/or by posting a notice directly to your account), and may also ask you to affirmatively consent to the changes at the time of your next login on the SeedLeaf Platform. By continuing to use the SeedLeaf Platform after such notice and/or consent, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use as modified. If you do not agree with our changes to these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy will be to cancel your account (and your Subscription, if any) and discontinue use of the SeedLeaf Platform.

                        8. FORCE MAJEURE

                        Any failure or delay by SeedLeaf in the performance of its obligations pursuant to these Terms of Use will not be deemed a default or breach of these Terms of Use or a ground for termination to the extent such failure or delay is due to computer or Internet or telecommunications breakdowns, denial of service attacks, fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, rebellions or revolutions in the United States or any nation where the obligations under these Terms of Use are to be executed, strikes, supplier and third party failure, lockouts, or labor difficulties, or any similar cause beyond the reasonable control of SeedLeaf

                        9. MISCELLANEOUS

                        If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or a waiver of any other provision, and SeedLeaf’s failure to assert any right under these Terms of Use or to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. SeedLeaf may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to any third party at any time without notice to you. These Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs, trustees, administrators, and assigns. These Terms of Use contains the final and entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous verbal or written negotiations, understandings, or agreements regarding the subject matter hereof.

                        10. CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW

                        Where the Business Practice and Consumer Protection Act, or any other consumer protection legislation in your jurisdiction applies and cannot be excluded, these Terms and Conditions will not limit your legal rights and remedies under that legislation. These Terms and Conditions will be read subject to the mandatory provisions of that legislation. If there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and that legislation, the mandatory provisions of the legislation will apply.
