You are either:
We do not offer our Products to consumers, and so by using them and accepting these Terms & Conditions, you agree that you are a business user, acting on behalf of your business which is either a company, a sole trader, or any other form of business entity (your “Business”);
Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Agreement, “you” and “your” means both the person (user) who has set up an Account to use the Products and the Business on behalf of which the Account has been set up.
The user who first creates an Account on behalf of a Business will be the “Master User”. If you are the Master User, you must be an authorized representative of your Business, with the authority to bind your Business to this Agreement.
The Master User may add another user (a “Secondary User”) to their Account, in two ways:
by sharing access to the data in the Master User's Account with a Secondary User of the Product; and/or
by creating Secondary Users who are representatives of the Master User's Business who are authorized to perform specific tasks through the Product.
If you are a Secondary User, you should be aware that the Master User may limit or otherwise restrict your ability to use the data in the Master User's Account.
Irrespective of whether you are a Master User or Secondary User, you must comply with the terms of this Agreement.
Where you are an Advisor, you also undertake to ensure that, to the extent relevant, your End Customers comply with this Agreement.

Updating user information
You or your company must notify Syngenta promptly if any of the information
that you provided as part of any
registration process (the "user information") changes, or if you or your company becomes aware that any of the user
information is inaccurate or incomplete.
Notwithstanding your or your company's obligation to provide Syngenta with updated user information, Syngenta has the right to rely on the user information that you or your company previously provided until such time as you or your company has provided Syngenta with updated user information. You and your company further agree that Syngenta may provide notices related to these terms and conditions or to this Site by e-mail using the latest e-mail address you or your company has supplied to Syngenta.
If you cease to be an employee or authorized agent of your company or cease to be authorized by your company to use this Site, then your company must promptly notify Syngenta, and you are no longer authorized to use this Site.
As between you and your company and Syngenta, Syngenta shall have sole and exclusive ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to this Site and Product, including, without limitation, the design, features, functionality, navigation, content, and "look and feel" of this Site and Product, and all data collected through this Site and Product, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights associated therewith, such as all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and know-how.
The Products use Your Inputs (as defined below) and process these, including through the use of extrapolation, combination with data and insights from other sources, and the use of algorithms and statistical models developed by Syngenta, in order to produce the Outputs.
The Outputs are intended to be used to support and inform agronomic decisions taken independently by you, or, where you are an Advisor, by you and your End Customers. The Products, including the Outputs, should not be used for any other purpose. In particular, you undertake not to use the Products (and the capturing of GPS or other location data enabled by the Products) for the purposes of monitoring the behavior or location of other users within your Business.
PLEASE NOTE – The Outputs provided by the Products are dependent upon some factors that we cannot control:
PLEASE NOTE THAT Syngenta does not provide any guarantee that the use of the Products will produce the desired agricultural results.
The Outputs should not be used as the sole basis for making agronomic decisions.
In particular, you agree that you are responsible for inspecting the fields and exercising your judgment in deciding whether to follow the agronomic decision support guidance or other Outputs, and for implementing agronomic practices in accordance with good agricultural practice, stewardship guidance, and any applicable local laws and regulations.
We draw your attention to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability sections below.
You represent and warrant that:
Your Inputs (as defined below) were obtained in accordance with, and continue to comply with, all applicable laws and you have the rights required to input or upload Your Inputs to the Products and to grant the license set out below under section "Your License Grant to Syngenta";
Where Your Inputs include personal data relating to an individual other than yourself (for example, name, email address, device geolocation data), you (as the relevant Business) have established a valid lawful basis under applicable data protection laws to process that personal data and will otherwise comply with your obligations as a data controller (see section Error! Reference source not found.), including in relation to transparency; and
Your Inputs do not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights and Syngenta will not need to obtain licenses from or pay royalties to any third party.
The Products may require Your Inputs (as defined below). You hereby grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and perpetual right to use Your Inputs for the purposes of producing the Outputs and otherwise making possible your use of the Products, as well as for our use in improving our Products, developing new products, and any other purposes determined by us, subject always to the terms of this Agreement. You may not be able to use certain features of the Products if you do not provide the required information. As between you and Syngenta, you own Your Inputs.
Where you are an Advisor, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to obtain any rights, permissions, or licenses from your End Customers that are necessary to grant us the license anticipated by this section.
To the extent that Your Inputs include personal data, we will only use such personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that we may aggregate or otherwise anonymize any personal data comprised in Your Inputs so that they no longer constitute personal data ("Anonymized Data"), and that our use of Anonymized Data is not constrained by our Privacy Notice.

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the Products and to download, run, store, print, copy, and share Outputs from the Products for the duration that this Agreement applies to you, provided that you only use the Outputs within your Business (or, where you are an Advisor, within the businesses of your End Customers) in a manner that complies with this Agreement (in particular section 0) and you do not modify the Outputs in any way (for example, by deleting or modifying any Trademarks or other notices).
You may not sell, rent, license, or otherwise transfer Outputs to third parties or generate Outputs for third parties (except, where you are an Advisor, for End Customers). Any third party wishing to make use of the Products must create their own Account.
Except as stated above, no other rights to the Outputs or Products or any of their Contents are transferred to you.
