Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 25, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using OpenPasture ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a ranch or agricultural operation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Description of Service

OpenPasture is a livestock recordkeeping service offered on paid plans, each beginning with a 14-day free trial. Any product examples or demonstrations on our marketing pages may be illustrative and may not reflect a customer's own records. Features, availability and limits are those described on the pricing page for the plan you are on.

OpenPasture is intended to support workflow exploration and recordkeeping research; it does not ensure regulatory compliance. Users remain responsible for verifying records and decisions with applicable requirements and qualified professionals.

3. Your Data — You Own It

All livestock records, animal data, premises information, and operational data you enter into OpenPasture ("Farm Data") belongs to you. OpenPasture claims no ownership over your Farm Data.

We will never sell, rent, or license your Farm Data to third parties.

We use your Farm Data only to provide the Service to you.

4. Data Export and Deletion

You may export animal records and an operation-wide JSON archive in the app. The archive lists any categories it does not include and why. Export is not withheld because a trial has ended or a subscription has lapsed. You may request a copy or deletion of your Farm Data at howdy@openpasture.ai.

Cancelling a subscription does not delete your account or Farm Data. The app does not currently offer automated account closure or account-wide deletion. You can export an operation-wide JSON archive in the app and request help with access, export, or deletion at howdy@openpasture.ai. We review and handle verified deletion requests individually; we cannot currently promise a fixed deletion deadline or that every record in active systems or provider backups is removed by a specific date. Some records may need to be kept for legal, accounting, security, or dispute purposes. Backup and snapshot retention follow provider settings; an individual record is not selectively removed from an existing database snapshot.

5. Pricing and Billing

Every new account begins with a 14-day free trial of the full service. No payment information is collected to start the trial and nothing is charged during it. At the end of the trial, an account with no subscription becomes read-only: your Farm Data remains readable and exportable, and no records are deleted or hidden.

Paid plans and their prices are published at openpasture.ai/pricing. Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly in advance through Stripe; OpenPasture does not receive or store your card number. You may cancel at any time from your billing page and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. A founding-member rate offered to the first 75 paid operations remains in force for as long as that subscription stays active, including through any later change to standard prices. Changes to standard prices will be published here; no fixed advance-notice period for existing subscriptions has been established in these Terms.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service
  • Reverse engineer or copy the Service
  • Upload data you do not have the right to submit

7. AI Features and Disclaimers

Any AI examples shown on our marketing pages are illustrative. Do not rely on OpenPasture for veterinary, financial, legal, regulatory, or sale-timing decisions. OpenPasture does not represent that AI outputs are complete, accurate, current, grounded in your records, or available in every account. Verify information independently and consult qualified professionals.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS." OPENPASTURE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL ENSURE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING THAT YOUR RECORDS MEET APPLICABLE USDA REQUIREMENTS.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPENPASTURE'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO OPENPASTURE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. OPENPASTURE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

10. Account Termination

OpenPasture may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to other users, the Service, or OpenPasture.

If we need to terminate an account, we will contact the account email when feasible, except where immediate action is needed to prevent harm or comply with applicable law. No fixed advance-notice period has been established.

Export and deletion after termination are handled as described in section 4.

11. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a confirmed data breach affecting your Farm Data, contact howdy@openpasture.ai. Incidents are assessed individually; the Service does not have an automated breach-notification system or a verified fixed notification window.

12. Governing Law

A specific governing-law jurisdiction has not been designated in these public Terms. Applicable law may depend on the circumstances.

13. Changes to Terms

Material changes to these Terms will be published here. We have not established a fixed advance-email-notice period.

14. Text Messaging Program

OpenPasture answers questions and files records over text message. Linking a mobile number is optional, is done from the handset itself, and is never a condition of buying anything from us.

Message frequency varies with your use of the Service. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time, START to resume, or HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

A text is a convenience, not a contract: nothing that commits money or an animal — accepting an offer, countering one, changing a price, recording a sale — happens by text alone. Those actions are taken on a screen that shows you the terms. The program is described in full in our Text Messaging Program disclosure.
