Terms of Service
Last updated: May 13, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the BarnDesk farm management software, including our website at thebarndesk.com, our iOS mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”), provided by BarnDesk LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“BarnDesk,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Please read these Terms carefully. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Service on behalf of a farm, business, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to “you” include both you individually and that entity.
2. Description of Service
BarnDesk is a multi-tenant farm management platform that allows users to record and manage livestock data, tasks, expenses, income, health events, and related farm operations. The Service may be accessed through our website and through native mobile applications. We may add, modify, or remove features at any time. The Service is intended to assist with record-keeping and is not a substitute for professional veterinary, agronomic, financial, or legal advice.
3. Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, to create an account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update it as needed. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.
4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto-Renewal
Certain features of the Service require a paid subscription. Subscription tiers, pricing, and feature availability are described within the Service. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis depending on the plan you select. As of the date of these Terms, all subscriptions are processed exclusively through the Apple App Store. We do not currently process subscription payments through our website.
4.1 Apple App Store Subscriptions
Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the same price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription by going to your account settings on the Apple App Store after purchase.
Apple displays an automatic renewal disclosure at the time of purchase that includes the subscription title, price, billing frequency, length of any free trial, and instructions for cancellation. By completing the purchase, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted these terms.
4.2 Free Trials and Promotional Offers
We may offer free trials or promotional pricing from time to time. Free trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions at the end of the trial period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial. Promotional offers may have additional eligibility requirements stated at the time of offer.
4.3 Price Changes
Prices are subject to change with at least 30 days’ prior notice for current subscribers. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel before the change takes effect.
5. Cancellation and Refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Apple App Store. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods, and access to paid features continues until the end of the period that has been paid for. Refund eligibility for App Store purchases is governed by Apple’s refund policies; you must request refunds directly from Apple.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation, including federal and state agricultural, veterinary, drug, food safety, and animal welfare laws.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, other accounts, or related systems or networks.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or breach any security or authentication measures.
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including by uploading malicious code or excessive automated traffic.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Service, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.
- Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the Service without our prior written consent.
- Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm another person, or to upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, or infringing.
- Use the Service to record, track, or report activities that are required to be reported to government agencies (such as USDA, FDA, or state agricultural departments) without independently verifying compliance and without confirming that the Service’s record-keeping is accepted by the relevant agency. The Service is not a regulated reporting tool.
- Use the Service to record dispensing, withholding, or administration of veterinary drugs in a manner that would substitute for professional veterinary judgment, prescribed veterinary feed directives, or required regulatory documentation.
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or organization.
7. User Content and Data Ownership
You retain ownership of all data, records, images, and other content that you submit to the Service (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, modify, and process that content solely as necessary to provide the Service to you and to other authorized members of your farm.
You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have the rights necessary to submit it. We do not claim ownership of your farm records, and we will not use your User Content to train artificial intelligence models or for any purpose unrelated to providing the Service, except as described in our Privacy Policy.
Upon termination of your account, you may export your User Content for 30 days before it is deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining your own tax records and other documentation; we recommend exporting your data regularly using the export tools provided in the Service.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, designs, logos, text, graphics, and other content (other than User Content), is owned by BarnDesk LLC or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted, expressly or by implication.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
THE SERVICE IS A RECORD-KEEPING TOOL. ANY DECISION YOU MAKE BASED ON DATA STORED IN OR PRESENTED BY THE SERVICE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, BARNDESK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- Animal illness, injury, or death, including loss caused by missed health events, missed medication doses, missed withholding periods, missed treatments, or reliance on data displayed by the Service that turned out to be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.
- Veterinary, agronomic, nutritional, or genetic decisions, including breeding decisions, culling decisions, feed decisions, and pasture management decisions.
- Compliance with food safety laws, animal welfare laws, drug withdrawal requirements, or regulatory record-keeping requirements.
- Tax positions taken on your tax return, the categorization of expenses or income on Schedule F, or the accuracy of receipt OCR results. Schedule F categorizations and OCR-extracted data are suggestions and must be reviewed by you and your tax preparer. You are responsible for maintaining your own tax records and documentation.
- Loss of profits, revenue, livestock, crops, or business opportunity caused by use of or inability to use the Service.
YOU AGREE TO CONSULT QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS — VETERINARIANS, ACCOUNTANTS, ATTORNEYS, AGRONOMISTS — FOR DECISIONS WITHIN THEIR EXPERTISE. WE DO NOT PROVIDE VETERINARY, AGRONOMIC, FINANCIAL, TAX, OR LEGAL ADVICE.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BARNDESK LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, LIVESTOCK, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, AND THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BarnDesk LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your User Content, or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right.
12. Termination
You may terminate your account at any time by following the cancellation process within the Service. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or if continued provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially reasonable. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership provisions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — shall survive.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in Wyoming, or at another mutually agreed location, and shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding.
YOU AND BARNDESK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
If the foregoing arbitration provision is found unenforceable, you and BarnDesk agree that any judicial proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a notice in the Service, sending an email, or both, at least 10 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.
15. Apple App Store Additional Terms
