Farmsquare’s Role in Transactions

• Farmsquare provides a platform for farmers and agro merchants who comply with Farmsquare’s policies to offer and sell their farm produce/products/equipment etc.
• We help get customers for your farm produce/products/equipment etc. through the internet and take 7% commission on-farm inputs/products/equipment etc. sold. The 7% covers our commission as well as the cost of promoting the agricultural item using various promotional methods.
• Note that all payments are made through an escrow account. That means that you can only receive your money after the buyer sees the agricultural product and is satisfied. Circumventing the buyer protection policy disqualifies you from making further sales via the Farmsquare platform.
• Farmsquare acts as an agent for purposes of processing payments, chargebacks, refunds, customer service and adjustments for transactions between buyers and farmers/agro merchants, receiving and holding transaction amounts on behalf of buyers, charging buyers’ credit cards, and paying farmers/agro merchants amounts buyers owe them.

Please feel free to contact Farmsquare support with any questions or concerns.

Sales, Custom and Value-added taxes

In an effort to comply with consumer legislation, we strongly encourage our farmers/agro merchants as well as our end customers to maintain good standing with respect to custom and value-added taxes or VAT, where applicable.

Due to separate and applicable tax jurisdictions, the end customers’ purchases may be subject to specific sales, custom or value-added taxes, (and it is your responsibility to pay these, if applicable), and the shipping time and associated cost may increase. When ordering via the website or you are the importer of farm produce/products/items etc., you must fully comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.

How to purchase

It is easy to make a purchase from the Farmsquare website.

1. Choose a farm produce/agro-product/items etc, pick a variant (variety, size, bundle etc.)
2. “Add to cart”
3. Сhoose the quantity (the default quantity is 1)
4. “Buy”
5. “Next”
6. Input your personal data and shipping information
7. Check the data and confirm your order.
8. Input bank card data: card number, expiration date and CVV code (card data is encrypted and processed only by the billing system of a bank)

The farmer/agro-farmer/agro-merchant will receive your order information 3 hours after payment. So if you change your mind within 3 hours of purchase, you can cancel the order.

Refund terms

You will be entitled to a full refund if:

• Product quality is significantly worse and different from that in the relevant item description (the item is defective, damaged (if such circumstances are not specifically noted in the description) or the information provided in its description turns out to be substantially incorrect) on the website and there is no way you can enjoy the product properly.

You should return the product to the farmer/agro-farmer/agro-merchant. Don’t forget to contact our customer support team to clarify the return address before you return the agro-product, otherwise Farmsquare reserves the right to reject your refund request. Only after the support team has received proof of the return shipment can a refund be considered. We aim to respond to all requests within 43 hours upon receiving.

The following products cannot be returned unless received defective:

• Products which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by you after delivery, or which are, after delivery, inseparably mixed with other items;
• Farm produce made to your specifications or clearly personalized, especially personalized and handmade items;
• Products which may deteriorate or expire rapidly;
• Products damaged by negligence and/or by misuse or activities other than the intended purpose are also not returnable.

Farmsquare does not cover the shipment costs of returns.

How to request a refund?

There are several ways to request a refund:

• If less than 3 hours have passed since you purchased the product, you can cancel the order and get a full refund. Go to My orders, tap the order you want to cancel and tap the “Order cancellation” button on the bottom of the order page.
• If the quality of the product you’ve received is significantly worse (the item is defective, damaged (if such circumstances are not specifically noted in the description) or the information provided in its description turns out to be substantially incorrect) then the description on the Farmsquare website. Go to My orders, tap the order you want to refund and tap “Product related issues”

Choice of Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and your use of the Service will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Nigeria and all claims and disputes (including non-contractual claims and disputes) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service will be determined in accordance with the laws of Nigeria.

Other Terms

You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Service provided that Farmsquare may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit.

The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

You and Farmsquare agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Farmsquare and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Farmsquare, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Farmsquare in any respect whatsoever.

Dispute Resolution

Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions.
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. YOU AND FARMSQUARE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, TO ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO THE CONTENT, AND/OR USER SUBMISSION (PUBLIC, PERSONAL AND/OR LIMITED AUDIENCE) ON THE SERVICE SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION.

“Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Farmsquare related in any way to or arising out of in any way from the Service, the Content, any Submission, including but not limited to claims or controversies concerning any sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Farmsquare, even if the claim arises after you or Farmsquare has terminated Service or a user account. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; or (b) that Farmsquare brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Farmsquare, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Farmsquare; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms.

Dispute Notice

Before initiating an arbitration, you and Farmsquare each agree to first provide the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute sent to Farmsquare should be sent to: No 5, Amole Byepass, Bola-Ige Junction, off Liberty Road, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria and emailed to info@Farmsquare.com. Farmsquare will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via the email address associated with your Farmsquare User ID. You and Farmsquare agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute during the period of 45 days after a Notice of Dispute is given and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until this 45-day post-notice resolution period expires. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or Farmsquare may commence an arbitration proceeding.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action. Further, unless both you and Farmsquare expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. If this prohibition of class, representative, or consolidated arbitration is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial.

YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND FARMSQUARE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Arbitrator’s Decision

An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Small Claims & Government Actions

As an alternative to arbitration, you or Farmsquare may resolve Disputes in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over your claim. These Terms and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Farmsquare on your behalf.

Intellectual Property Rights on Farmsquare

Farmsquare respects other people’s intellectual property. Therefore, Farmsquare prohibits farmers/agro-merchants from listing counterfeit items or items rights to which they neither own nor hold.

If you believe someone is infringing your intellectual property rights, please report it to us. When filing your report, please indicate the following problem:

• Trademark infringement, counterfeit items (someone is using your trademark)
• Copyright infringement (Someone copied your work)

To process your report, Farmsquare will need certain information. Please ensure to include in your report the following:

• An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright or trademark owner;
• Identification of the copyrighted work or trademark you claim has been infringed;
• Identification of the claimed infringing material and its location on Farmsquare (the easiest way to provide this information is to include web addresses (URLs) to the infringing material on Farmsquare);
• Information reasonably sufficient to allow Farmsquare to contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
• A statement of complaint made in good faith that the material in question and use thereof have not been authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or in accordance with the law; and
• A statement made under penalty of perjury that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright or trademark owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Remember that only the copyright and trademark owner or their authorized representative may file a report of infringement. If you believe some items on Farmsquare are infringing the rights of others, you may want to let the rights owner know.
