SeedLinked Terms of Use 2025
Effective Date: October 24th, 2025
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SeedLinked Co (“SeedLinked,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) governing your access to and use of the SeedLinked platform, including our websites, mobile applications, and related services (the “Platform”). By using the Platform, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.
Accounts and Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Platform. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating an account and to maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
Trial Participation and Data Sharing
When you participate in a trial on the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that any data you submit, including ratings, feed posts, reviews, agronomic notes, photos, or comments (“Trial Data”), may be shared with the trial manager(s) responsible for that trial. Trial managers may use Trial Data to evaluate varieties and make agronomic, breeding, or research decisions. You further acknowledge and agree that SeedLinked may aggregate and anonymize Trial Data with data from other users to conduct analytics, support research, and improve the Platform. While you retain ownership of the Trial Data you provide, you grant SeedLinked a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, and revocable license to use, process, and share such data in accordance with these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
If you delete your account, certain data may continue to remain in the Platform, as described in the Privacy Policy. This includes (i) trial metadata contributed by trial managers; (ii) grower reviews and ratings in anonymized form; and (iii) variety records contributed to the database. These retention practices are necessary to maintain the accuracy, completeness, and research value of the Platform.
User Conduct
You agree not to use the Platform for unlawful purposes, to interfere with its security or operation, or to attempt to scrape, extract, or resell Platform data. You may not impersonate others, misrepresent your identity, or upload harmful content.
Intellectual Property
The Platform, including all software, content, and trademarks, is owned by SeedLinked or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works except as expressly authorized by these Terms.
Data and Analytics
SeedLinked may generate aggregated and anonymized data from user activity and Trial Data. Such aggregated data does not identify you personally and may be used indefinitely for analytics, research, and to improve the Platform.
Termination and Suspension
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, engaged in unlawful activity, or otherwise created risk or potential legal exposure for SeedLinked. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform will immediately cease. Provisions relating to intellectual property, data rights, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution will survive termination.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The Platform and all related content and services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SeedLinked disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any information obtained through it will be accurate or reliable.
Third-Party Links and Services
The Platform may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites, applications, or services that are not owned or controlled by SeedLinked. We are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to those third parties’ terms and privacy policies.
Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data under applicable law, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These rights may include:

Children’s Use
The Platform is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child has provided us personal data, we will delete it promptly.
Export Compliance
You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer any part of the Platform or related technology in violation of applicable export control laws or U.S. trade sanctions.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SeedLinked from claims, damages, or expenses arising from your violation of these Terms, your unlawful use of the Platform, or your misuse of data. This obligation does not apply to claims arising from SeedLinked’s own gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SeedLinked’s total liability for any claims arising out of your use of the Platform is limited to the amount you paid to SeedLinked in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to liability, if any. This limitation does not apply in cases of gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SeedLinked and supersede prior agreements.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Brown County, Wisconsin.
Dispute Resolution
Most disputes can be resolved by contacting us directly. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out within thirty (30) days of accepting these Terms. You may also bring individual claims in small claims court if eligible. Class actions and representative proceedings are not permitted.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform or by email. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
