Privacy Policy

Effective October 1, 2026

1. Who We Are — Your Privacy Is the Backbone of Our Business

FieldMatrix, Inc. (“Field Matrix,” “FM,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Field Matrix platform, Field Matrix applications, fieldmatrix.app, and Scout, our AI-powered farm assistant, including text messages exchanged with Scout.

Field Matrix was created to help farmers use their own information, together with aggregated agricultural data, analytics, benchmarking, and artificial intelligence, to make better decisions for their farming operations.

Protecting the privacy of farmers and their farming operations is fundamental to how Field Matrix is designed.

Questions about this Privacy Policy or your information may be directed to:

2. Information We Collect — Only What We Need to Make Your Farming Operation Better

Depending upon how you use Field Matrix, we may collect:

Account Information

Your name, mobile telephone number, email address, account information, authentication information, and other information needed to create and maintain your account.

Farm Records

Information you enter, upload, import, connect, photograph, transmit, or provide to Scout, including:

• farms, fields, and field boundaries;
• planting information;
• seed and hybrid information;
• fertilizer, chemical, and other agricultural applications;
• tillage and farming practices;
• soil tests and soil characteristics;
• rainfall and weather information;
• scouting records, observations, notes, and photographs;
• harvest and yield information;
• equipment and machine records;
• grain inventory and grain bins;
• grain contracts and marketing information;
• expenses, costs, and financial information you choose to enter;
• buyer and elevator quotes;
• tasks, notes, and operational records; and
• other agricultural information you choose to provide.

Connected-Service Information

If you connect Field Matrix with a third-party service, such as John Deere Operations Center or another agricultural platform, we may receive information you authorize that service to provide, including fields, boundaries, machine operations, applications, planting, and harvest information.

Scout Conversations

We may process messages, photographs, files, voice information, text messages, questions, instructions, and other information you provide when interacting with Scout.

Usage and Device Information

We may collect information regarding how Field Matrix is used, including pages viewed, features used, device type, browser type, IP address, system activity, and approximate location derived from an IP address.

Location Information

If you choose to provide location information, Field Matrix may use GPS coordinates, field locations, or device location to provide location-specific services such as weather, rainfall, field information, nearby agricultural observations, or other location-based features, to enhance your experience and provide better insights for your farming operation.

Consent Records

When you consent to text messages or other communications, we may retain information documenting that consent, including the date, time, IP address, browser, or method used to provide consent.

Invitations

If you join Field Matrix through another user's invitation, we may record the account or user associated with that invitation.

3. How We Use Information — To Enhance Your Bottom Line

Field Matrix may use information to:

• operate and maintain Field Matrix;
• organize and maintain your farm records;
• provide weather, rainfall, radar, grain, market, field, and operational information;
• calculate and display your grain position;
• provide local bids and market information;
• allow Scout to answer questions;
• allow Scout to update records at your direction;
• provide alerts, reminders, notifications, and summaries you request;
• generate farm analytics and recommendations;
• compare agricultural data points;
• create benchmarks;
• identify agricultural patterns and trends;
• develop and improve Field Matrix features;
• improve the performance and usefulness of Scout;
• maintain account and system security;
• detect fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, or misuse;
• troubleshoot and maintain the platform;
• comply with legal obligations; and
• otherwise provide services requested by you.

4. Farmer Data, Identity, and De-Identification

Your Farm Records Are Yours

The underlying farm records you provide to Field Matrix remain your records.

By using Field Matrix, you give Field Matrix permission to host, store, organize, process, analyze, display, and otherwise use those records as reasonably necessary to provide and improve Field Matrix and the services you request.

Farm Comparisons Are About Data Points — Not Farmer Identity

Field Matrix is designed so that benchmarking and farm-to-farm comparisons can be performed using agricultural data points without disclosing information intended to directly identify the farmer or farming operation contributing those data points.

When information contributes to aggregated benchmarks, comparisons, trends, or insights, Field Matrix will not disclose your name, farm name, field name, street address, telephone number, email address, or other information intended to directly identify you or your farming operation as the source of the data.

For example, Field Matrix may compare data points involving:

• soil characteristics;
• soil productivity;
• rainfall;
• growing degree units;
• planting dates;
• planting populations;
• seed characteristics;
• fertilizer applications;
• nitrogen timing;
• agricultural practices;
• crop-development stages;
• chemical applications;
• harvest information;
• yield;
• costs; and
• other agricultural variables.

The objective is to compare the agricultural data points and practices — not identify the farmer or farm behind those data points.

5. Internal Identifiers and Additional Privacy Protection

Field Matrix may assign accounts, farming operations, fields, and other records random or unique internal identifiers, including Globally Unique Identifiers (“GUIDs”), account identifiers, field identifiers, or similar identifiers.

These identifiers may be used to reduce unnecessary association between identifying account information and agricultural records and to enhance privacy, security, system organization, and data management.

Field Matrix may separate identifying account information from agricultural datasets where reasonably appropriate.

The use of identifiers, pseudonymization, de-identification, encryption, or other security measures reduces certain privacy and security risks but does not guarantee that unauthorized access can never occur.

6. Aggregated and De-Identified Data

Field Matrix may aggregate, de-identify, pseudonymize, analyze, and use agricultural information to:

• create agricultural benchmarks;
• compare similar farming operations;
• identify agricultural patterns and trends;
• generate insights and recommendations;
• improve Field Matrix;
• develop new Field Matrix features;
• improve Field Matrix analytics, algorithms, and models; and
• provide useful information to Field Matrix users.

Field Matrix will not use aggregated or de-identified benchmark information to disclose the identity of an individual farmer or farming operation.

Field Matrix may retain and use aggregated or de-identified information that no longer reasonably identifies an individual user, subject to applicable law.

7. How We Share Information — Farmer Identity Is Not the Product

Field Matrix does not sell your personal information.

Field Matrix may share information in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies that help us operate Field Matrix, including cloud-hosting providers, AI providers, communications providers, analytics providers, security providers, and other technology vendors.

These providers may access information only as permitted to provide their services to Field Matrix and subject to applicable contractual and legal restrictions.

Our AI provider does not use Field Matrix user data to train its general-purpose models.

People You Authorize

Information may be shared with team members, employees, family members, agronomists, consultants, dealers, or other persons or organizations to whom you expressly provide access.

Connected Services

We may exchange information with third-party services you connect to Field Matrix when necessary to perform the functions you request.

Nearby Agricultural Issue Alerts

When scouting information identifies a pest, disease, or other agricultural issue, Field Matrix may alert other Field Matrix users in a surrounding geographic area that the issue has been observed nearby.

Such alerts will not identify the farmer who reported the condition or the specific field on which it was observed.

Benchmarking and Comparisons

Farm comparisons and benchmarking are performed using aggregated, de-identified, pseudonymized, or otherwise protected data points where appropriate.

Field Matrix will not disclose the name of the contributing farmer or farming operation through these benchmark comparisons.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, court orders, subpoenas, governmental requests, or to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of Field Matrix, its users, or others.

Business Transactions

If Field Matrix is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and the privacy commitments applicable to the information.

8. We Do Not Sell Your Individual Farm Information to Market Products to You

Field Matrix does not sell your personally identifiable farm information to seed companies, fertilizer companies, chemical companies, agricultural equipment manufacturers, retailers, cooperatives, technology companies, marketers, or other third parties for the purpose of allowing those parties to market products or services to you.

Participation in Field Matrix does not authorize another company to obtain your individual farm records or identify your farming operation through Field Matrix for marketing or commercial solicitation unless you specifically authorize that access.

9. Email and Calendar — Only If You Connect Them

If you connect an email or calendar account, or forward emails to your Scout address, Scout looks for farm business items: grain contracts, settlements, scale tickets, invoices, and meetings or deadlines.

We keep the details Scout pulls out, for example, the bushels and price on a contract, and a short excerpt, not your full emails, and we delete them after 30 days unless you save them to your records.

Scout never adds anything to your records, sends an email, or sends a calendar invite to other people without your OK.

Disconnecting deletes our access right away.

Field Matrix's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We do not use Google user data for advertising, permit people to read it except as authorized by you or as necessary for security or legal requirements, or use Google user data to train general-purpose AI models.

10. Text Messaging

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

See the Text Messaging section of our Terms of Service for how to stop texts (reply STOP) or get help (reply HELP).

11. How Long We Keep Information

We generally maintain farm records while your account remains active.

Disconnecting a connected service removes Field Matrix's authorization to continue accessing that service.

We may retain security, transaction, consent, legal, backup, fraud-prevention, and other records for periods reasonably necessary for their respective purposes or as required by law.

You may request deletion of your account and individual farm data by contacting: [email protected]

Subject to applicable legal, security, backup, and technical requirements, we will process verified deletion requests within a reasonable period.

Aggregated or de-identified information that no longer reasonably identifies you may be retained as permitted by applicable law.

12. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending upon applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

You may:

• request access to certain personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of eligible information;
• request a copy or export of eligible information;
• disconnect connected services;
• turn off push notifications;
• manage Scout notifications;
• set quiet hours;
• request deletion of your account; and
• exercise other privacy rights available under applicable law.

To make a privacy request, contact [email protected].

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

If applicable law provides a right to appeal our decision regarding a privacy request, you may submit an appeal by replying to our decision or contacting [email protected] and stating that you are appealing a privacy decision.

For text messages, reply STOP to stop messages from Scout. Reply START to turn them back on.

13. Security

Field Matrix uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal and farm information against unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.

Depending upon the information and system involved, safeguards may include encryption, access controls, authentication controls, internal identifiers, GUIDs, separation of identifying information from agricultural information, monitoring, logging, and other security measures.

No internet-connected information system can guarantee absolute security.

Field Matrix may modify, replace, strengthen, or otherwise enhance its security practices as technologies, threats, legal requirements, and industry practices evolve. Security improvements may be implemented without requiring an amendment to this Privacy Policy where they do not materially expand the purposes for which personal information is collected, used, or disclosed.

14. Children

Field Matrix is intended for persons 18 years of age or older.

Field Matrix does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in circumstances subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date.

If a change materially affects how we collect, use, or share personal information, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by applicable law.

Security enhancements that increase protection of information may be implemented without prior notice.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of authentication credentials, sign-in codes, sign-in links, and other account-access information.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account by persons you authorize.

5. Farmer Data Ownership

The original farm records and information you provide to Field Matrix (“Farmer Data”) remain yours.

Farmer Data may include field boundaries, planting records, applications, soil information, rainfall, harvest records, yield data, machine records, grain information, contracts, expenses, scouting information, photographs, notes, and other records supplied by you.

You grant Field Matrix a non-exclusive right and license to host, store, process, organize, analyze, reproduce, display, transform, aggregate, de-identify, and otherwise use Farmer Data as reasonably necessary to:

• provide Field Matrix services to you;
• generate analytics, benchmarks, comparisons, and recommendations;
• operate and secure Field Matrix;
• improve Field Matrix;
• create aggregated and de-identified agricultural information; and
• exercise the other rights expressly described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

This license does not transfer ownership of your original Farmer Data to Field Matrix.

6. Field Matrix Data, Analytics, and Intellectual Property

Farmer Data and Field Matrix's proprietary technology and outputs are different things.

Although your original Farmer Data remains yours, Field Matrix owns or retains all rights it otherwise possesses in Field Matrix's proprietary:

• software;
• source code;
• platform architecture;
• algorithms;
• methodologies;
• benchmarking systems;
• database structures;
• models;
• artificial intelligence systems and configurations;
• calculations;
• scoring methodologies;
• aggregated benchmarks;
• analytics;
• comparative methodologies;
• recommendations;
• reports and report structures;
• user-interface elements;
• proprietary datasets;
• trade secrets;
• trademarks;
• designs; and
• other intellectual property.

Collectively, these may be referred to as “FM Technology” or “FM Outputs.”

Your access to Field Matrix does not transfer ownership of FM Technology or grant you unrestricted commercial rights to FM Outputs.

7. Permitted Use of FM Outputs

Field Matrix provides FM Outputs to assist authorized users in evaluating, managing, and improving their own farming operations.

You may use FM Outputs for legitimate internal agricultural purposes associated with your farming operation, including:

• agronomic decisions;
• planting decisions;
• purchasing decisions;
• fertilizer decisions;
• seed decisions;
• chemical decisions;
• equipment decisions;

• financial decisions;
• grain-management decisions;
• operational planning; and
• other legitimate farm-management purposes.

You may use Field Matrix information to determine whether a product, practice, input, or management decision makes sense for your own farming operation.

8. Prohibited Commercial Use, Sale, Transfer, and Monetization

Unless expressly authorized in writing by Field Matrix, you may not sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute, transfer, publish, commercially exploit, monetize, or otherwise provide FM Outputs or proprietary Field Matrix data to another person or entity for commercial purposes.

You may not purchase, establish, access, sponsor, finance, or use a Field Matrix account, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of obtaining Field Matrix information to market, promote, develop, price, benchmark, validate, improve, or sell a third-party product or service.

Without Field Matrix's prior written authorization, no seed company, fertilizer company, chemical company, agricultural-input provider, equipment manufacturer, agricultural retailer, cooperative, consultant, financial institution, insurance company, data provider, technology company, marketing company, or other commercial entity may use a Field Matrix account or FM Outputs to:

• identify or target farmers;
• solicit farmers;
• market products or services;
• determine which farmers should receive particular marketing;
• evaluate its products for commercial purposes using FM proprietary outputs;
• evaluate competitors' products for commercial purposes using FM proprietary outputs;
• create or improve commercial products or services;
• develop competing benchmarks;

• transfer Field Matrix information;
• disclose Field Matrix information;
• monetize Field Matrix information; or
• otherwise commercially exploit FM Outputs or proprietary insights derived from Field Matrix.

This prohibition applies whether access is obtained directly or indirectly.

9. No Circumvention Through Farmers or Other Intermediaries

A commercial entity may not avoid these restrictions by obtaining access through another person.

Without prior written authorization from Field Matrix, no person or entity may obtain FM Outputs or access Field Matrix through:

• a farmer;
• customer;
• employee;
• consultant;
• agronomist;
• dealer;
• retailer;
• cooperative;
• agent;
• contractor;
• shared login;
• purchased account;
• sponsored account;
• paid farmer;
• data-sharing arrangement; or
• other intermediary

for a purpose that would otherwise violate these Terms.

Paying, compensating, incentivizing, sponsoring, or otherwise encouraging a Field Matrix user to provide prohibited access or FM proprietary outputs does not make the use permissible.

10. Commercial Licensing

Field Matrix may separately authorize certain commercial uses of FM Outputs, aggregated information, analytics, benchmarking, or technology.

Any such commercial use requires Field Matrix's prior written authorization and may require a separate commercial license, API agreement, enterprise agreement, data-use agreement, or other written contract.

Access to or use of Field Matrix, including acceptance of these Terms, does not grant any person or entity the right to commercially use, sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute, transfer, publish, monetize, or otherwise commercially exploit FM Outputs, aggregated information, analytics, benchmarking, technology, or other proprietary Field Matrix information.

Any such commercial use requires Field Matrix's prior written authorization.

11. De-Identified and Aggregated Benchmark Information

Field Matrix may use Farmer Data to create aggregated, de-identified, or pseudonymized agricultural datasets, benchmarks, trends, comparisons, and insights.

Field Matrix's proprietary compilation, organization, methodologies, analytics, and benchmark outputs are part of FM's proprietary platform and may be used to operate, improve, and develop Field Matrix, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Field Matrix will not disclose information designed to directly identify an individual farmer or farming operation through its aggregated benchmark products.

12. Scout — Field Matrix's AI Assistant

Scout is designed to assist farmers, not replace their judgment.

Scout uses artificial intelligence and other automated technologies. Artificial intelligence can make mistakes and may produce incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated information.

You should independently review information that could materially affect your farming operation.

Scout and Field Matrix do not provide professional legal, tax, financial, veterinary, engineering, medical, or other licensed professional advice.

Agronomic information provided through Field Matrix is informational and decision-support information and does not replace product labels, pesticide labels, manufacturer instructions, professional agronomic judgment, safety requirements, or applicable law.

Always follow product labels and applicable laws.

Scout does not provide advice regarding trading futures or options.

When you direct Scout to modify records, Field Matrix may provide confirmation of the action and, where available, an opportunity to correct or reverse the change.

Actions involving deletion of records, communications with other persons, or other significant external actions may require additional confirmation.

You remain responsible for decisions made regarding your farming operation.

13. Weather, Markets, Prices, and Third-Party Information

Weather, rainfall, radar, commodity prices, elevator bids, market information, news, maps, and other information may originate from third-party or public sources.

Third-party information may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate.

Market information displayed through Field Matrix does not constitute an offer to purchase or sell grain, commodities, securities, futures, options, or other financial instruments.

Do not rely exclusively on Field Matrix for emergency or safety decisions. Follow official weather alerts and appropriate governmental or emergency sources.

14. Connected Services

When you connect Field Matrix to a third-party service such as John Deere Operations Center, Google, email, calendar, or another platform, you authorize Field Matrix to access permitted information on your behalf for the purposes disclosed to you.

Third-party services remain subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

You may disconnect supported services at any time.

15. Text Messaging — Field Matrix Scout

• Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your number and messages.

16. Acceptable and Fair Use

You may not:

• use Field Matrix in violation of law;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to another account;
• obtain information you are not authorized to access;
• interfere with Field Matrix's operation or security;
• circumvent security or access controls;
• reverse engineer Field Matrix except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• systematically scrape or extract Field Matrix information;
• create an unauthorized database from Field Matrix information;
• copy or reproduce substantial portions of Field Matrix;

• impersonate another person;
• upload information you do not have authority to provide;
• use Field Matrix to develop or assist a competing product through unauthorized extraction or use of FM proprietary information; or
• violate the commercial-use restrictions contained in these Terms.

17. Account Security

You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to protect your account credentials and access methods.

Field Matrix may use authentication, internal identifiers, GUIDs, access controls, monitoring, logging, encryption, or other security measures.

Field Matrix may modify or strengthen its security requirements and may require users to adopt new authentication or security measures as reasonably necessary to protect Field Matrix, its users, or agricultural information.

18. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Field Matrix and request closure of your account at any time.

Field Matrix may restrict, suspend, or terminate access when we reasonably believe:

• these Terms have been violated;
• an account is being used for unauthorized commercial purposes;
• unauthorized data extraction has occurred or is being attempted;
• an account presents a security risk;
• fraudulent or unlawful activity is occurring;
• suspension is necessary to protect users or Field Matrix; or
• suspension or termination is otherwise permitted by these Terms or applicable law.

Termination of an account does not eliminate obligations arising from conduct that occurred before termination.

Provisions concerning intellectual property, prohibited commercial use, confidentiality, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive termination.

19. Fees and Paid Services

Field Matrix may offer free, trial, subscription, enterprise, or other paid services.

Before charging you for a new paid service, Field Matrix will disclose applicable pricing and obtain authorization as required by law.

Additional terms may apply to paid, enterprise, or commercial services.

20. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide Field Matrix with suggestions, ideas, recommendations, feature requests, or other feedback concerning Field Matrix, you grant Field Matrix permission to use that feedback to develop, improve, market, or operate its products and services without compensation or obligation to you.

This provision does not transfer ownership of your Farmer Data to Field Matrix.

21. Intellectual Property

Field Matrix and its software, branding, trademarks, interfaces, designs, algorithms, methodologies, analytics, benchmark systems, proprietary compilations, and other intellectual property are owned by Field Matrix or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except for the limited rights necessary to use Field Matrix in accordance with these Terms, no intellectual-property rights are transferred to you.

22. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FIELD MATRIX IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

FIELD MATRIX DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND RELIABILITY TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.

FIELD MATRIX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE, SCOUT, DATA, BENCHMARKS, ANALYTICS, WEATHER INFORMATION, MARKET INFORMATION, RECOMMENDATIONS, OR OTHER INFORMATION WILL ALWAYS BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, AVAILABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE.

23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Field Matrix will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of Field Matrix, including lost crops, reduced yields, lost profits, lost opportunities, commodity or market losses, lost data, equipment damage, business interruption, or decisions made using Field Matrix information.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Field Matrix's aggregate liability arising from or relating to Field Matrix will not exceed the greater of:

(a) the amount you paid Field Matrix during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or

(b) $100.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations or exclusions, in which case those limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

24. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Field Matrix and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from:

• your unlawful use of Field Matrix;
• your unauthorized commercial use of FM Outputs;
• information you provide without authorization;
• your violation of another person's rights; or
• your material violation of these Terms.

25. Remedies for Unauthorized Use, Misappropriation, and Unjust Enrichment

Field Matrix's proprietary technology, methodologies, algorithms, models, benchmarking systems, compilations, databases, analytics, reports, and other proprietary information may constitute confidential information, trade secrets, or other protected intellectual property under applicable federal or state law.

Unauthorized access, acquisition, use, disclosure, extraction, transfer, sale, commercialization, or misappropriation of such information may cause substantial and irreparable harm to Field Matrix and may provide the person or entity engaging in such conduct with an unfair commercial or economic benefit.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Field Matrix reserves all available contractual, statutory, common-law, and equitable rights and remedies arising from such conduct, including claims and remedies that may be available under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1836–1839, applicable state trade-secret and unfair-competition laws, and other applicable law.

Available remedies may include, where permitted by law, injunctive relief, actual damages, recovery of unjust enrichment resulting from unauthorized use or misappropriation, reasonable royalties, exemplary or punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and other appropriate legal or equitable relief.

Nothing in these Terms limits or waives any rights or remedies otherwise available to Field Matrix under contract, statute, common law, equity, intellectual-property law, trade-secret law, or other applicable law.

26. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Subject to any dispute-resolution provision adopted by Field Matrix and any rights that cannot lawfully be waived, legal proceedings relating to these Terms will be brought in the appropriate state or federal courts located in Harrison County, Iowa.

27. Changes to These Terms

Field Matrix may update these Terms as the platform, technology, security requirements, business practices, or applicable laws change.

We will post updated Terms with a revised effective date.

If changes materially affect users' rights or obligations, Field Matrix will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by applicable law.

Field Matrix may implement security enhancements designed to better protect users, accounts, Farmer Data, or Field Matrix systems without waiting for an amendment to these Terms.

Continued use following the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

28. Entire Agreement and Severability

These Terms, together with the Field Matrix Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to services you purchase or use, constitute the agreement governing your use of Field Matrix.

If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

A failure by Field Matrix to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.
