YARA DIGITAL FARMING TERMS

YARA DIGITAL FARMING TERMS

These terms were last updated: 27^TH June 2022

These terms of use apply to the use of digital farming products, services, hardware, software, websites, digital resources and other market offerings (Solutions) made available by Yara International ASA and/or by any affiliates controlled by, or under common control with (in each case, Yara or we or us). Each organization or individual (you) wishing to make use of any of Yara’s Solutions is subject to these Yara Digital Farming Terms (Terms) together with any other Solution-specific terms that apply to the Solutions offered and used.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

These Terms apply to your use of all information, recommendations and/or Solutions provided to you by Yara. Certain Solutions have their own specific terms and/or additional agreements with Yara (Solution-specific Terms) that will apply to your use of that Solution. You should check and review any Solution-specific Terms that might apply to the particular Yara Solution that you choose to order and/or use. To the extent that the provisions of these Terms conflict with Solution-specific Terms, the Solution-specific Terms shall prevail. These Terms and any Solution-specific Terms are together referred to as the Agreement.

Where you acquire elements of a Solution via a third party outside the Yara group, you may also be subject to that third party’s terms.
Our separate Yara Digital Farming Privacy Policy () also applies to you, and you should check that you understand and are aware of those privacy-related provisions.
These Terms may be changed over time. You are advised to regularly read the terms that apply to the use of our Solutions for possible changes.

By clicking or tapping any button or box marked “accept”, “agree” or “ok” (or a similar term) referencing these terms, by signing up to a Yara solution via a website, app or other digital channel, or by completing and sending to Yara an order form to which these terms are linked or attached, you agree to be bound by these terms, and you affirm that you are of legal age where you live and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement as an individual or as an authorized representative of your company. You should print and keep a copy of these terms for future reference.

Agreed terms

1. Yara Solutions and Terms

1.1 Yara offers a number of Solutions to business users, which may include professional or other farmers and consultants for the purposes of improving farming methods and activity, and leveraging new and innovative digital technologies. For example, our Solutions may assist with farm management (work allocation, field tasks, inventory etc.), soil analysis, management of nutrient cycles, and related agronomic decision-making.

1.2 We provide Solutions in a number of different forms. Such forms may include:

(a) web-based or downloadable software (Software) and printed material or other documentation accompanying the Software (Documentation);

(b) mobile applications (Apps);

(d) access to websites that are owned and/or branded by Yara International ASA and/or its affiliates (together, Yara Websites), and other digital content or resources such as email reports and portals;

(a), (b), (c) and (d) together, Digital Content; and

(e) hardware, including repair and maintenance services (Hardware).

1.3 In addition to these Terms, each Solution may be governed by Solution-specific Terms. To the extent that the provisions of any of the Solution-specific Terms conflicts with these Terms, the Solution-specific Terms shall prevail.

1.4 Yara offers and markets the Solutions to business users, which may include professional or other farmers and consultants. However, in jurisdictions where mandatory legislation dictates that professional or other farmers are to be considered consumers, such persons may be afforded certain augmented rights under applicable local law; and, in such cases, these Terms will not affect any applicable statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

1.5 In the unlikely event that the provision or use of any Digital Content or Hardware pursuant to the Agreement contradicts any mandatory local law applicable to you, your right to access Digital Content or use Hardware may be terminated by Yara. In such circumstance, you agree not to use or access Yara Solutions, including any Digital Content or Hardware, in any way which might contravene applicable law.

1.6 There may be circumstances in which elements of a Solution are provided to you by a third party distributor or agent (Non-Yara Supplier) rather than direct from Yara. On such occasions, you must still agree to be bound by these Terms in relation to Yara and your use of a Yara Solution. You may also need to agree to additional terms, conditions and policies applicable to the relevant Non-Yara Supplier (such as hardware purchase terms, terms of service or privacy policies) (Third Party Agreement). It is your responsibility to verify and accept any applicable terms of any Third Party Agreement. The Non-Yara Supplier, and not Yara, is solely responsible for the performance of the Non-Yara Supplier’s obligations under any Third Party Agreement.

2. Accessing Digital Content

2.1 You are responsible for making all arrangements, and for providing appropriate resources and equipment, necessary to ensure that you have access to the Digital Content.

2.2 You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons employed or engaged by you who access the Digital Content through your Account are aware of these Terms and other applicable terms and conditions, and that they comply with them.

2.3 We may limit the availability of any Digital Content or any Solution to any person or geographic area at any time. If you choose to access Digital Content or Solutions from outside the geographic areas where Yara makes them available, you do so at your own risk and you may be in breach of these Terms or applicable law.

Solution-specific Terms may also set out any further services to be provided to you, including service descriptions, service levels, Maintenance Services and any warranty terms. The Fees (if any) that you are required to pay for a Solution, and other details about a Solution and its associated Solution-specific Terms, will be available within the online interface and other materials provided by Yara describing each Solution and any related services. In some cases, a Fee will be payable to access a Solution while, in other cases, Fees may only be payable either depending on your actual usage of the Solution or to upgrade to a premium version of the Solution. You agree to pay any applicable Fees associated with any Solution that you order and/or use at such payment frequency set out in the applicable Solution-specific Terms, and you are subject to these Terms with respect to your payments.

7.2 Any specific adjustments to the Solution, or further services that you require, may incur additional charges. Depending on the Solution, extended service levels may be agreed in writing between you and Yara if you have specific requirements for the Solution and the services that you require. Such written agreement will include details of your requirements and the scope of the service to be provided to you.

7.3 In relation to all Solutions and Solution-specific Terms, unless otherwise expressly stated by agreement with you and without prejudice to the rights of Yara to terminate earlier as provided herein:

(a) The term of the applicable Subscription will be for a period of 12 months from its date of commencement and, upon expiry, will automatically renew for additional 12 month periods until terminated by you or Yara.

(b) Yara may issue you with an invoice specifying the Fees payable by you and setting out the Solution, or versions of the Solution, that you wish to purchase. In other circumstances, you may be obliged to submit valid payment information prior to entering into Subscriptions under the Solution-specific Terms and receiving access to any applicable Solutions provided under such Solution-specific Terms. All Fees are due upon or prior to first use of a Solution or as otherwise specified in the applicable Solution-specific Terms. If you enter credit or debit card information, or similar means of payment, Yara will automatically charge the listed amount.

(c) Where applicable, you authorise Yara to collect payments by direct debit from the bank account that you provide to Yara, before you first use items in respect of which a Fee is payable. You shall also instruct your relevant bank to redeem the direct debits drawn by Yara into its account. You will not be entitled to claim a refund of the debited amount after the redemption has been implemented, but you may instruct your bank not to redeem direct debits until your payment of Fees to Yara becomes due.

(d) You or we can terminate any Subscription renewal to a Solution until the final day before the automatic renewal of such Subscription as set out in the applicable Solution-specific Terms. You must do so by submitting a notice to Yara in accordance with these Terms (Termination Notice), providing the following minimum information: name, phone number, e-mail address and termination date. Yara will submit any Termination Notices to you via e-mail.

(e) Certain Solutions may offer you a free-trial period, or a demo or basic version of Digital Content, whereby you may use that Solution without paying a Fee for a specified time period, or for a limited number of users, or in respect of a limited range of functionality. Once your free-trial period comes to an end, you will no longer be entitled to use the Solution and may be required, at your expense, to delete any Digital Content and/or return any Hardware to Yara, unless you complete the necessary formalities which may include entering into Subscriptions under applicable Solution-specific Terms and/or paying the applicable Fees. Where Yara provides you with a demo version of Digital Content, you will need to pay the applicable Fees in order to gain access to the full range of Digital Content provided as part of the Solution.

(f) Except as expressly set out in these Terms, you will not receive any kind of refund upon termination of a Subscription.

7.4 You are responsible for paying any duties, customs fees, or taxes (other than Yara’s income tax) including indirect taxes such as “goods and services tax” and “value-added tax” associated with the purchase of each Solution, and any related penalties or interest (Taxes), and will pay the Fees to Yara without any deduction for Taxes. You acknowledge that in some jurisdictions, VAT or sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be collected by Yara at the time of the sale. Except where expressly stated otherwise, Fees quoted for the supply of the Solutions are stated exclusive of VAT or sales tax, for which you shall be additionally liable at the applicable rate from time to time.

7.5 All payments are due in the currency stated in the applicable Solution-specific Terms. Any invoice or payment disputes must be submitted before the payment due date.

7.6 We may charge interest at the lower of (i) two (2%) percent per month or (ii) the maximum rate permitted pursuant to applicable law (if any) on any overdue payments from time to time, from the payment due date until paid in full, whether before or after judgment. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Yara in collecting such overdue amounts, except where such overdue amounts are due to Yara’s billing inaccuracies. If you are overdue on payments for any of the Solutions, Yara may suspend or terminate all of the Services under Sections 15.2 and 15.4(d) below.

7.7 You shall pay all amounts due to Yara in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against Yara in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. Yara may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set-off any amount owing to it by you against any amount payable by Yara to you.

8. Variation

8.1 To the extent permitted under applicable law, Yara may, at any time and in its sole discretion, modify these Terms, any applicable Solution-specific Terms, its Digital Farming Privacy Policy, Subscription terms, and the specification, functionality and content of the Solutions (including but not limited to changes which are necessary to comply with any applicable safety or other statutory requirements or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of a Solution). Where any changes are material or substantive, Yara will provide you with reasonable advance notice of such changes, which may be by e-mail or posting through a relevant Solution-specific webpage or portal. Yara advises you to check regularly for changes.

8.2 If Yara makes any modifications, you will either comply with such changes or communicate to Yara your non-acceptance, in which case that communication will have the effect of a Termination Notice and you shall immediately cease using the applicable Solution. Your continued use of the Solution (including any use of the Solution after a notice of non-acceptance from you) shall be deemed to be acceptance of any such changes. You agree that Yara shall not be liable to you or to any third party as a result of taking these actions.

8.3 With regard to any Subscriptions that you have entered into with Yara:

(a) You may terminate a Subscription following a Significant Price Change only, and you shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of Fees equal to any advance payment(s) that you have made to Yara under the Subscription, and which relate to services or use of a Solution that would have occurred in any period of time after termination. You are not entitled to refunds retroactively or for services provided or use of any Solution prior to termination.

(b) For the purposes of this Section, a Significant Price Change means an increase in the aggregate price payable by you for the Solution during the term of the applicable Subscription of greater than 30%.

12.3 Yara’s sole obligation with respect to the unavailability or interruption of Digital Content and defective Software is set out in Section 12.1. In no other circumstances will Yara be liable to you, for any reason, if Digital Content, including Software, is unavailable at any time or for any period.

12.4 You shall not allow anybody except Yara or a party authorized by Yara to carry out maintenance or modification of Software and/or Digital Content.

12.5 Access to Digital Content is permitted and offered on a temporary basis, and we do not guarantee that Digital Content will always be available or be uninterrupted. Further, you acknowledge that Digital Content is provided to you on an “as is” basis and may not be free from errors or bugs.

12.6 Where we intend to suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change (each, an Alteration) Digital Content in a way that would materially impact that Digital Content, we will provide you with reasonable notice of such Alteration, as long as the decision to make the Alteration is within our control and has not been imposed upon us. In all other circumstances, we may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of the Digital Content without notice.

13. Hardware

13.1 This Section 13 applies where, as part of a Solution, Yara provides you with Hardware subject to the following exceptions:

(a) You may acquire from Yara branded Hardware that has been manufactured by third parties (Third Party Branded Hardware). Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Solution-specific Terms, Yara shall not be liable for any defects in, or inoperability of, Third Party Branded Hardware, and you must rely upon any separate warranties provided by the relevant third party manufacturer or supplier in respect of any alleged defect of such Third Party Branded Hardware.

(b) You may acquire Hardware from a Non-Yara Supplier rather than Yara. If so, unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Solution-specific Terms, Yara shall not be liable for any defects in, or inoperability of, such Hardware, and you must rely upon the terms of your Third Party Agreement in respect of any alleged defect of such Hardware.

13.2 Except where our agreement with you specifies otherwise (for example where we rent or lease Hardware to you), title to the Hardware will pass upon full payment except that, in the case of Hardware in respect of which pre-payment has been made, title to the Hardware will pass upon delivery. Risk of loss to, and responsibility for, the Hardware pass to you upon delivery. Until title has passed from Yara to you (and in all cases where we rent or lease Hardware to you), you must insure, maintain and store the Hardware in satisfactory conditions, and you will promptly return the Hardware to us at our request.

13.3 You shall maintain and operate the Hardware in accordance with the instructions provided by Yara and shall only allow the Hardware to be operated by competent and authorized personnel. Yara is not liable for any maintenance or modification of Hardware not undertaken by, or in accordance with instructions from, Yara or its authorized representatives.

13.4 All delivery timings that Yara may provide to you in relation to Hardware are estimates and not commitments. However, if the delivery of Hardware is delayed by more than 90 days from the stated date of delivery notified to you by Yara, and this is not due to your actions or inactions, you will have a right to: (1) withhold payment (unless full payment has already been made) due in respect of delayed Hardware, or (2) terminate the Agreement under which you ordered the delayed Hardware, entitling you to a refund of any Fees you have paid in relation to such Hardware.

13.5 You are responsible for:

(a) ensuring strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the import, transportation, storage and use of Hardware in the country and place to which Hardware is delivered;

(b) obtaining and maintaining in full force and effect, at your own cost, any licenses, authorizations, approvals, permits and other consents in relation to the import, transportation, storage and use of the Hardware as required from time to time; and

(c) if required by Yara, making copies of such licenses and consents available to Yara prior to delivery of the Hardware.

13.6 Hardware is delivered to you strictly on the condition that you have satisfied yourself of its suitability for your needs. Certain Hardware provided by Yara must be installed by a Yara employee or representative (Installation). After Installation, the Yara employee or representative will perform an operational test of the Hardware in the presence of you or your representative. During the test, you or your representative must confirm that the Hardware is working correctly and check for malfunctions or defects (Defects). Any advice provided by Yara (or a Yara employee or representative, as applicable) is given to the best of its knowledge, and will not relieve you from undertaking your own investigations and tests.

13.7 Where Hardware is delivered to you and/or installed, and you determine that there is a Defect with the Hardware, you must report the Defect to us within the earlier of (i) one month from the date on which you detected the Defect (or reasonably should have detected the Defect) or (ii) three months from the date of delivery to you of the Hardware (or, if later, the date of Installation by or on behalf of Yara) (the Reporting Period) unless a longer reporting period is expressly required by applicable law. Your report must include sufficient information to allow us to identify and verify the Defect, including but not limited to: a detailed description of the Defect and Hardware (including any documentation or information showing that the Defect was present at the time of the delivery), and any applicable invoice and order numbers.

13.8 If, after examining the Hardware, Yara determines that there is a Defect, and you have reported it to us within the applicable Reporting Period, Yara will remedy the Defect or replace the Hardware within a reasonable time, and will reimburse you for any shipping costs already paid by you to Yara or incurred by you, provided that such Defect does not arise from any misuse, wilful misconduct or any other fault on your part. If you have not paid fully for the Hardware, you will be entitled to withhold payment until Yara has remedied the Defect or replaced the Hardware. If, after examining the Hardware, Yara determines that there is no Defect, or if the Hardware shows clear signs that the Defect was caused by you or another third party, you shall be liable for any shipping, handling and related expenses, and any call-out or attendance costs incurred by Yara.

13.9 You may also be able to obtain maintenance services out-of-warranty as set out in any Solution-specific Terms (Maintenance Services). Where Yara agrees to perform such Maintenance Services, we shall do so at your expense. Fees payable for such Maintenance Services shall include, but not be limited to, Yara’s reasonable expenses and travel costs, if Yara provides the Maintenance Service at your premises.

13.10 If Yara provides remedial services in respect of any Defect or any Maintenance Services on your premises, you shall be obliged to provide suitable working conditions in accordance with applicable labour law and health & safety requirements.

13.11 Yara will not be liable to you if Hardware differs from its specifications as a result of changes made to ensure that the Hardware complies with applicable statutory or local requirements. In addition, Yara will not be liable for any Defects or inoperability of Hardware resulting from:

(a) your failure to comply with this Section 13 and/or any applicable Solution-specific Terms; or

(b) normal wear and tear.

13.12 You shall not use any Hardware in the production or processing of illegal crops or substances, or for any other illegal purposes. If you resell the Hardware, you shall also use reasonable efforts to ensure that your customers do not use the Hardware for any illegal purposes.

13.13 In addition to Section 19 (Indemnity), you shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Yara from and against all claims, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of:

(a) a Defect in the Hardware due to an act or omission on your part or the part of your representatives;

(b) Yara following any specifications supplied by you;

(c) any damage to property, or injury or death of persons arising out of your loading, unloading, transportation, storage, handling, use or disposal of the Hardware; and

(d) in connection with any negligent act or wilful misconduct of or by your representatives.

(a) if Yara has reasonable grounds to suspect a breach of Sections 6, 13.12 or 14;

(b) where Yara has a right to terminate these Terms under Sections 15.2 or 15.3, Yara may also suspend or terminate any, all, or any part of the Digital Content;

(c) in order to comply with applicable law. If any suspension under this Section 15.4 continues for more than thirty (30) days, you may, at any time until use of the applicable Digital Content is reinstated, terminate your use of the applicable Solution immediately upon written notice; or

(d) in the event of non-payment of Fees by you within the relevant period set out in the applicable Solution-specific Terms.

You are obliged to pay for any remaining Fees and/or Subscription balance and applicable interest, whether your Account is suspended due to your contractual breach or for any other reason.

If Yara becomes aware of the above circumstances, Yara may specifically request that you take the remedial steps described above as it considers necessary and/or may immediately suspend your use of the Solution until Yara is satisfied that the relevant issues have been resolved.
