Local Farmers Hub – Terms of Service & Use

1. Introduction

Local Farmers Hub is a platform to help local growers and consumers connect. We do not own, inspect, produce, store, package, or deliver any of the products listed on the site.

We simply connect people. All use is at your own risk.

2. Using Our Services

You agree to follow all laws and any rules we post.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or behave in a way we find harmful or abusive.

If we suspect misuse, we reserve the right to investigate and act accordingly.

2.1 User Accounts

Some features require you to register.

You must provide accurate, up-to-date information, and update it if things change.

Impersonation, fake accounts, or misleading information may result in immediate termination.

2.2 Account Security

You're responsible for safeguarding your password and all activity under your account.

We recommend using strong passwords.

If someone accesses your account because of weak security on your part, that's on you—not us.

3. For Farmers and Growers

If you list products for sale:

• You are solely responsible for your listings—descriptions, pricing, availability, safety, and legality.
• You must comply with all applicable laws, including food safety and product labeling.
• You agree to fulfill orders you accept and communicate clearly with buyers.
• You understand that you—not Local Farmers Hub—are liable for the goods you sell.

4. For Consumers

If you buy or arrange to pick up products via the platform:

• You are responsible for understanding what you're buying.
• All transactions are between you and the seller—we don't inspect products, mediate disputes, or offer guarantees.
• You agree to pay any fees or taxes related to purchases and comply with pick-up/delivery arrangements made with sellers.

5. Privacy & Copyright

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, and use your information.

By using the site, you agree to that policy.

You agree not to copy, scrape, or distribute content (listings, images, or descriptions) unless it's your own.

6. Modifications to the Service

We're constantly improving. That means:

• Features may change, be added, or removed at any time without notice.
• We're not liable for any impact this may have on your use or business.

7. Liability Disclaimer

You agree that:

• We do not guarantee the accuracy, legality, or safety of listings, users, or products.
• We are not responsible for losses, damages, fraud, illness, failed pickups, or bad experiences.
• You assume all risks of interacting with others, online and offline.
• We provide this platform "as is" and without warranties of any kind.

8. Conduct & Abuse Prevention

You agree not to:

• Post false, harmful, or illegal content.
• Harass or abuse other users.
• Spam, scrape, or overload the system with excessive requests (including API abuse).
• Circumvent rate limits or security protections.

We may suspend or ban any account or IP address at our discretion, with or without notice.

9. Ad Placements & Monetization

We may show ads, affiliate links, or sponsored content. These help support the platform. We're not responsible for the products, services, or claims made in those ads.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms occasionally. If we do, we'll post the changes here. Continued use of the site means you accept the new version.
