Acceptance of the Terms of Service
These terms are entered into between you ("you" or "your") and Ground Truth Agriculture Inc. ("GTAI", "us", "we" or "our")), a business corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of Saskatchewan, Canada. Your use of GTAI products, software, hardware, services and web sites, including any products or services provided to you by GTAI under a separate written agreement (collectively referred to as “GTAI Offerings”), is subject to and governed by the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Service (the “Terms"). By accessing, viewing, or using the GTAI Offerings, you are legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use any of the GTAI Offerings and exit any software or web page immediately.
Additional terms may apply to the GTAI Offerings as described below, which are incorporated by reference (the “Additional Terms”). If you are participating in a pre-commercial test of GTAI’s Offerings, you may be asked to enter into testing agreement with GTAI or one of GTAI’s Affiliates. These Terms apply to the use of GTAI Offerings by you if you are participating in a pre-commercial test. Unless specifically stated in a separate agreement between you and us, if there is a conflict between these Terms and any of the terms contained in the testing agreement, these Terms shall govern.
Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. Changes may arise for a variety of reasons, including to reflect changes in the law, new features, changing business practices, or learning a better way to provide the GTAI Offerings. Any changes to these Terms will become effective when we post them on our website at www.groundtruth.ag. The modified Terms will also appear when you log into your Account. Your use of GTAI Offerings following these changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Service. If we believe that the changes contain any material changes that affect your rights or responsibilities, or if the changes affect other Additional Terms, we will notify you in advance of the change by reasonable means. This could include a direct notification through the applicable GTAI Offering, or by an email. If you continue to use the GTAI Offerings after we make the changes, then you agree to those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the GTAI Offerings immediately and you may notify us to request a pro-rated refund for unused subscription services, to be provided in accordance with our then current refund policy for such GTAI Offerings.
Permitted Users
GTAI Offerings are for business use only. These Terms establish or supplement a business-to-business relationship between you and us. By purchasing, downloading, installing, activating or otherwise using the GTAI Offerings, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority under the laws of where you reside, that you are acting for business purposes, and you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind the entity, in which case “you” and “your” shall refer to you and such entity.
GTAI Account
4 Account Creation
You must create a GTAI account to access certain GTAI Offerings (an “Account”). When you create an Account, you will be asked to provide certain information about you and your business, such as your name, your business or corporate name (if applicable), address for service, email address, payment method and authorization, and other user information that is either necessary or advisable in order to utilize the full suite of GTAI Offerings (“Account Information”). By entering Account Information, you represent and warrant that all such information you enter is true and accurate and you agree to keep the information up to date if it changes at any time while you are bound by these Terms. Should you refuse to provide certain Account Information, we may not be able to provide you access to some or all GTAI Offerings.
4 Enterprise Level Accounts
Certain Accounts will be designated as "Enterprise Level Accounts". These Enterprise Level Accounts will permit your employees and contractors to access the GTAI Offerings using personalized log-ins. Enterprise Level Accounts will include administrator functions that allow you to determine who should have access to what information, and in what Service Territory (defined below). The individual or institution associated to the Enterprise Level Account has sole financial and legal responsibility for all transactions made by any person who signs in or identifies as being associated with the Enterprise Level Account, whether or not the person has been given authority to use the Enterprise Level Account by you. Financial and legal responsibility for any unauthorized use of any log-in information associated with an Enterprise Level Account remains with the person to whom the Enterprise Level Account is registered.
4 Responsibility
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and password, including but not limited to the restriction of access to your computer and/or Account. Sharing of your login information is prohibited. You accept responsibility for any and all activities or actions that occur under your Account. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account.
4 Suspension of Accounts
We want to ensure that all of our users have a genuine and positive experience while using the GTAI Offerings. In order to do that, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your Account at our sole discretion. This means that we don’t need any reason to revoke your access. We’re also a tech company, which means that we might have ways of determining whether you’re breaching these Terms. You’re agreeing to allow us to do everything that we are legally allowed to do to both ensure that you are complying with these Terms, and to prevent you from using the GTAI Offerings, at any time and without notice to you. This includes blocking specific IP addresses.
4 Service Territories
You will be required to provide the geographical location and/or country and province/state that you operate in as part of the Account Information we collect (your "Service Territory"), You must have a separate Account for each Service Territory where you use the GTAI Offerings, and the applicable Additional Terms and Privacy Policy (defined below) related to that Service Territory will be determined based upon your Service Territory. You may have no more than one Account per Service Territory. Enterprise Level Accounts may be able to designate associated users as being located within a particular Service Territory and therefore may not be required to have different Enterprise Level Accounts for each Service Territory.
GTAI Offerings
5 Scope of Services
GTAI Offerings operate to provide agricultural commodity information, estimates, quality results, grading results or other recommendations based on models and third party sources, and help you organize and evaluate data provided or inputted by you, your mobile device or your equipment. GTAI Offerings may not be available in all languages or in your Service Territory, and may not be appropriate or available for use in any particular location. Our services, models, data and recommendations may change over time. Individual results may vary across businesses, growers, locations and time. We do not guarantee any individual results, and neither the GTAI Offerings nor GTAI Generated Works (defined below) should be used as a substitute for sound farming and business practices, or as the sole means for making farming, business, risk management or financial decisions. We recommend that you consult your agronomist, commodities broker and other service professionals before making financial, risk management business, and farming decisions.
5 Personal Information
Providing the GTAI Offerings requires us to collect, share, and use your personal information. Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference, is available online at [NTD: INSERT WEBSITE LINK] (“Privacy Policy”).

Some GTAI Offerings may require you or your authorized users to upload, input, transmit, store or otherwise make available to GTAI information about your operation, such as your locations, grain samples, grain quality, grain conditions, crop conditions, customers, maps or boundaries, recorded environmental, weather or climatic conditions, agronomic practices, crop losses, crop yields, field images, field notes and other information relating to your business operation (“Customer Business Data”).

9 Commercialization of Data
We will never sell or share your Customer Business Data, personal information, or Account Information with third-parties unless you have given us permission to do so. At the present time we have no program to allow for the sale of Customer Business Data, personal information, or Account Information. In the future, we may develop such a program, and as a customer and Account holder of GTAI, you will be informed if or when this is set to occur. Prior to enrolment in any such program, you will be provided with information on how we will attempt to transact your Customer Business Data, personal information, or Account Information, and the revenue sharing model that will be deployed in the event of a successful sale of such information.
9 GTAI Generated Work
We own any works we generate (“GTAI Generated Works”), including data, tools, analyses, results, estimates, models, recommendations and other information generated, published, displayed, transmitted or made available to you in or by the GTAI Offerings, except for your personal information, Customer Business Data, or Third Party Content, whether or not the GTAI Generated Works are related to personal data, Customer Business Data or Third Party Content. GTAI Generated Works include “aggregated or anonymized Information,” which is information that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it is not personally identifiable to you by a person using reasonable skills. Aggregated or anonymized Information is not considered Customer Business Data.
9 Sharing Data with other GTAI Users and Partners
GTAI allows you to share certain information, including Customer Business Data and GTAI Generated Works, with other GTAI users, within the GTAI Offerings, or to share certain information with third parties who are our Platform Partners by linking your Account to an account with the Platform Partner. Selecting to share your information and data with other GTAI users authorizes GTAI to share your information with such users within our environment. Linking your Account and an account with one or more of our Platform Partners authorizes GTAI to share your information with such Platform Partners and enables them to download a copy of your information to the Platform Partner’s own system. We do not share your data with any third party Platform Partners without your express consent. The terms of service applicable to your Account with the Platform Partner and the Platform Partner’s privacy policies will govern their processing and use of any information you share with them by linking your GTAI and a Platform Partner account.
Only share your information within GTAI with GTAI users you trust. Sharing your information with other GTAI users may enable them to share your information with Platform Partners and others outside of GTAI without seeking further authorization from you. GTAI users and Platform Partners with whom you share your information are not agents or representatives of, or processors for GTAI. We are not responsible for their actions in relation to your information. Further data privacy information and relevant information with regard to sharing personal data with other GTAI users and Platform Partners is available in our Privacy Policy. If you proactively choose to share your information with other GTAI users or Platform Partners, you can provide or revoke such access in your Account settings, or by contacting GTAI Customer Support. Users in the U.S. and Canada, can contact GTAI Customer Support by sending an e-mail to info@groundtruth.ag.
Terms and Terminations
10 Term Length
These Terms are effective until terminated by you or GTAI. Your rights under these Terms will terminate at the option of GTAI, with or without notice to you, if you fail to comply with any of our Terms. Upon termination, you will have no further right to access or use the GTAI Offerings, and any rights and licenses granted to you under these Terms will terminate. Termination or other discontinuation of your use of the GTAI Offerings will not relieve you of any obligations arising prior to termination regarding intellectual property or confidential information, ownership, or indemnification, nor will it relieve you of any liability for any breach of these Terms.

You may request that we close and permanently delete your Account by contacting the GTAI Director of Data Privacy using the form or at the address provided in our Privacy Policy.

As part of our development process, we are continuously utilizing customer inputs to refine our models and deliver a better product to you. Because of the nature of this development process, it will be impossible for us to remove your anonymized or aggregated Customer Business Data and usage information from the GTAI Content.

Either you or GTAI may terminate our contractual relationship if the other party breaches these Terms. If you terminate these Terms because of a breach by GTAI, we will refund amounts already paid by you for any active subscriptions or orders at the time of termination. If GTAI terminates these Terms because of a breach by you, you will be responsible for all subscription fees for any active subscriptions or orders at the time of termination extending through the remainder of your current contract, and will not be entitled to any credits or refunds as a result of such termination for prepaid but unused GTAI Offerings.
10 Additional Termination Rights
We may terminate our relationship with you with respect to any GTAI Offering with or without cause upon written notice to you. For example, without limitation, we may terminate these Terms if: (i) we no longer offer the applicable GTAI Offering; (ii) you do not pay your applicable amounts on time; (iii) your continued use of the GTAI Offerings violates these Terms, any other contract between us, or any applicable law or regulation; or (iv) we believe that your Account has been accessed without your authorization.
