Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms limits rights Users may have under applicable mandatory laws of their jurisdiction.

Privacy Policy

1. Information Collected

   The Platform may collect User Data, account information (such as your name and email), and technical information about how you use the Platform (such as IP address, device type, and usage logs).

2. Use of Collected Information

   Collected information may be used to operate, maintain, and improve the Platform; generate analytics; facilitate data visibility among Users; comply with legal obligations; and support Platform performance and security.

3. Disclosure

   Information may be disclosed:

   • to other Users based on your visibility settings,
   • to trusted service providers under confidentiality obligations,
   • when required by law, or
   • when necessary to protect the Platform operator’s rights, safety, or property.

4. Aggregated Data

   The Platform may produce and share aggregated, anonymized data for operational or analytical purposes. Such data will not identify individual Users.

Data Retention & Deletion

1. Retention of User Data

   All Platorm Data and User Data submitted to the Platform will be retained by the Platform for operational, analytical, historical, and system-integrity purposes.

2. Integration into Shared Database

   You acknowledge and agree that all User Data—including but not limited to sample results, vineyard site details, location-specific information, and other agronomic or viticultural data—becomes part of the Platform’s shared database. This database is used to support system-wide analytics, benchmarking, trend generation, and comparative insights across the Platform.

   Accordingly, once submitted, your User Data:

   • may be incorporated into aggregated, anonymized datasets,
   • may contribute to system-wide or multi-user analytical outputs,
   • may be used to improve forecasting, benchmarking, and modeling tools within the Platform, and
   • will remain accessible within the database regardless of changes to your account status.
   • Because your submissions may affect derived analytics and trends relied upon by other Users, User Data cannot be removed, withdrawn, or retracted after submission except by Platform administrator(s).

3. Backup and Archival Systems

   User Data may continue to exist in system backups, logs, or archival copies maintained for security, integrity, or compliance purposes. Such copies will not be deleted except through normal retention and rotation processes.

4. Operational Discretion

   The Platform may retain, archive, analyze, or use all User Data indefinitely for operational continuity, Platform improvement, benchmarking, research, analytics, and legal compliance. The Platform administrator(s) retain sole discretion regarding preservation or modification of data.

5. No Guaranteed Timelines

   While account deletion requests will be processed within a reasonable timeframe, the Platform does not guarantee removal of associated account information from all systems—including backups—within any specific period.

Subscriptions & Billing

1. Subscription Requirement

   Access to the Platform is provided on a subscription basis. Users must maintain an active subscription in order to access the Platform and its features.

2. Billing and Payment Processing

   Subscription payments are processed through a third-party payment processor. The Platform does not store or directly process credit card or payment information. By providing payment information, Users authorize the Platform and its designated payment processor to charge applicable subscription fees in accordance with the selected billing cycle. Use of payment processing services may be subject to the payment processor’s own terms and privacy policies.

3. Failed Payments and Account Deactivation

   If a subscription payment is not successfully processed when due, the associated User account may be temporarily deactivated, and access to the Platform may be suspended.

   Deactivation due to non-payment does not delete account data or contributed data. Upon successful renewal or reinstatement of the subscription, the account may be reactivated, and access restored.

4. Subscription Changes

   The Platform reserves the right to modify subscription plans, pricing, billing cycles, or access levels with reasonable notice. Continued use of the Platform following such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated subscription terms. Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.
