  1. Rental Offer and Acceptance

A bid or offer from a User initiates a non-binding transaction representing a potential tenant’s serious expression of interest in entering into a lease with the Landowner but does not create a formal contract between the potential tenant and the Landowner, even if the Landowner has taken steps to indicate acceptance by moving forward with offering a lease to the potential tenant.  A lease properly signed by both the Landowner and the tenant is required in order for there to be a binding real estate transaction.  American Farm Financing is not responsible for and disclaims all liability for any disputes between Users with respect to whether a binding transaction has taken place.

We may create Aggregated Information from information that other customers choose to share with us, along with your information and information that we generate or obtain from others. Aggregated Information may include data about your farming operation, combined with data about other farming operations. Aggregated Information will not identify an individual.

“De-Identified Information” is data that has been modified such that it does not identify an individual.

We collect, use and share Aggregated Information or De-Identified Information as we determine from time to time in our sole discretion, which may include, without limitation, the following purposes:

  • To enable the administration of your lease.
  • For research and development purposes, such as to improve agronomic or scientific knowledge, develop and improve our products and services, assess and compare product performance, or analyze customer behaviors and market trends.
  • For our internal efforts to operate and improve our business, such as improving the quality of our products and services, forecasting, modeling, benchmarking and identifying ways we can operate more efficiently or expand our business.


We may keep Aggregated Information or De-Identified Information indefinitely and share it with third parties for their own use and benefit. 

  1. Identity Verification.

User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot, and do not assume any responsibility for, the confirmation of each user’s purported identity. We encourage you to communicate directly with a User through the tools available on the Site, though even this does not assure you of the identity of the person with which you are communicating. We further encourage you to take other reasonable measures to assure yourself of the other person’s identity and, for potential tenants, of the property and relevant details of your commitment or proposed commitment.

You agree to (i) keep your password and online ID for both your account with us and your email account secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized users of your accounts, (ii) instruct each person to whom you give your online ID and password that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person, (iii) notify us immediately and select a new online ID and password if you believe your password for either your account with us or your email account may have become known to an unauthorized person, and (iv) notify us immediately if you are contacted by anyone requesting your online ID and password.  Further, if we suspect any unauthorized access to your account, upon our request, you agree to promptly change your ID and password and take any other related action as we may reasonably request.

We discourage you from giving anyone access to your online ID and password for your account with us and your email account.  However, if you do give someone your online ID and online password, or if you fail to adequately safeguard such information, you are responsible for any and all transactions that the person performs while using your account with us and/or your email account, even those transactions that are fraudulent or that you did not intend or want performed.

EACH USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT: (1) NEITHER AMERICAN FARM FINANCING NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY USER FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION MADE USING ANY USER’S ID OR PASSWORD; AND (2) THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ONLINE ID AND PASSWORD FOR YOUR AMERICAN FARM FINANCING ACCOUNT OR YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO BOTH AMERICAN FARM FINANCING AND OTHER USERS.

Further, we may, without notice to you, suspend or cancel your use of the Site at any time even without receiving notice from you if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that your account with us or your email account is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.

  1. Limitations on Communications and Use of Other Users’ Information; No Spam.

You agree that, with respect to other Users’ personal information that you obtain directly or indirectly from or through the Site or through any Site-related communication, transaction or software, we have granted to you a license to use such information only for: (i) Site-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, (ii) using Services offered through the Site, and (iii) inquiring about or otherwise facilitating a financial transaction between you and the other User related to the purpose of the Site and through the Site (such as inquiring about or committing to a property). Any other purpose will require express permission from the User.  You may not use any such information for any unlawful purpose or with any unlawful intent.

In all cases, you must give Users an opportunity to remove their information from your address book or database or other records and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this provision, may you disclose personal information about another User to any third party without the consent of the other User. You agree that other Users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with this provision. Further, you agree that you will protect other Users’ personal information with the same degree of care that you protect your own confidential information (using at minimum a reasonable standard of care), and you assume all liability for the misuse, loss or unauthorized transfer of such information.

We do not tolerate spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you are not licensed to add a Site User, even a User who has rented a property from you or to you, to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without the User’s express consent. You may not use any tool or service on the Site to send spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind or in any other way that would violate these Terms.

  1. Responsibility for Property Listings, Reviews and Other User-contributed content; Participation in Interactive Forums.

We reserve the right to request a proof of ownership or permission, and to refuse to post user generated content without such proof or if such proof is, in our sole discretion, insufficient.

By submitting or authorizing user-contributed content, you grant to us and our affiliates an unfettered, perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, unrestricted, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, transferrable, royalty-free and fully paid-up right and license to use, copy, license, sublicense (through multiple tiers), adapt, distribute, display, publicly perform, reproduce, transmit, modify, edit and otherwise commercially exploit the copy, the photographs and the likenesses (if any) of any of your user-contributed content, in connection with our business or the business of our affiliates.

You further grant us and our affiliates the ability to register copyright in and protect the user-contributed content, including the images, copy, and content available via any User’s listing, from the unauthorized use of the user-contributed content by unaffiliated third parties who may, from time to time, attempt to pirate such information via electronic or other means.  This includes, but is not limited to, the right to file suit to seek injunctive relief to protect such material on behalf of and in your name. You further agree to appear and assist us—at our expense and control—with protecting such copyrighted material from unauthorized redistribution.

You agree that we may sublicense all the rights granted to us under these Terms to one or more third parties we may contract with to display all or part of the User’s property listing or otherwise provide promotional or other services related to our business.  In the event that you retain any rights of attribution, integrity or any other moral rights in any user-contributed content, you hereby waive your right to assert these or to require that any personally identifying information be used in connection with the user-contributed content or any derivative works thereof and affirm that you have no objection to the publication, use, modification, deletion or exploitation of the user-contributed content by us or our affiliates.

  1. Disputes; Arbitration.

American Farm Financing’s right to amend these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time as set forth below does not apply to this “Disputes; Arbitration” section. The version of this “Disputes; Arbitration” section in effect on the date you last accepted these Terms controls.

American Farm Financing is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. But if we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section. You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Site, any dealings with our customer experience agents, any services or products provided, any representations made by us, or our Privacy Policy (“Claims”) by contacting American Farm Financing Customer Support. If we are not able to resolve your Claims within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.

Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our subsidiaries, users or any companies offering products or services through us (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms, regardless of whether prior versions of these Terms required arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would.

Arbitrations will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA Arbitration Consumer Rules (together, the “AAA Rules”). Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, except as provided in this section. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

By agreeing to arbitration under the AAA Rules, the parties agree, among other things, that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive power to rule on any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to “Tillable Legal: Arbitration Claim Manager,” 222 W. Hubbard St. #200, Chicago, IL 60654. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. The AAA’s rules and filing instructions are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.

  1. Responsibility for Insurance.

We do not provide insurance protection. Users are solely responsible for obtaining insurance coverage sufficient to protect their properties.

  1. Notices.

All notices to American Farm Financing shall be given by postal mail to: 

Tillable, Inc,. 

Attn: Legal Department

220 N Smith Street Ste 408 Palatine, IL 60067

When we need to send you notice, it will be sent to the email address you provide to the Site during the registration process or as later updated in your account (if applicable). Notice to you shall be deemed given upon such email being sent. Alternatively, we may give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to any physical address you provided to us during the registration process or as later updated in your account (if applicable). Such notice by certified mail shall be deemed given three days after the date of mailing to a physical address and one day after mailing to an electronic address.  

  1. Amendments to these Terms/changes to the Services

The Services (including the features, terms and operation thereof) offered at the time of a User’s subscription or sign up for a non-subscription-based account are subject to the descriptions displayed at the time of use and/or purchase and are subject to change without notice or approval.  We reserve the right to offer additional products, services or features for purchase at any time, and we may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Site at any time, including the availability of any Site features, database or content. We may also impose limits on certain features or services or restrict your access to parts or the entire Site without notice or liability. The version of the Terms to which you are hereby agreeing became effective on the date set forth above, and this version of the Terms amends and supplants any and all versions effective before such date. American Farm Financing reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time. Notification of any amendment will be posted on the Site by the indication of the last amendment date at the top of these Terms and will be effective immediately. When Users renew subscriptions, the terms in effect at the time of renewal will govern, provided that such terms may change as described above. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion and from time to time, to offer programs, products or services with unique terms and conditions that are separate from and may supersede or supplement in certain respects these Terms.  In such cases, your use of the Site with respect to such a special program is governed by these Terms together with the terms and conditions of such program, product or service. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to agree to terms and conditions that may be different from or conflict with these Terms with respect to any User. Any such terms and conditions will not be enforceable unless specifically agreed to by us. 

We do not separately file or save the Terms entered into by each User for access by such User. Please make a copy of these Terms for your records by printing and/or saving a downloaded copy of the Terms on your personal computer. We may immediately terminate any User’s access to or use of the Site due to such User’s breach of these Terms or any other unauthorized use of the Site.  However, we do not guarantee that we will take action against any or all breaches of these Terms. Our failure to take immediate action with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to such breach or any other breach.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us and you with respect to the matters set forth herein, and supersede any prior agreement between us and you with respect to your use of the Site.  Headings in these Terms are for reference only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other terms and conditions applicable to a product, tool or service offered on our Site, the Terms herein shall prevail.  If any portion of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Further, any provision of these Terms held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

We may assign these Terms in our sole discretion.  Users must obtain our prior written consent to assign these Terms, which may be granted or withheld by us in our sole discretion.

  1. Additional Terms and Conditions

Certain Services may only be used by Users who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are registering as a business entity to use these Services, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to these Terms. Each User represents and covenants that all information submitted to us and to the Site during such User’s registration with the Site shall be true and correct. Each User further agrees to promptly provide notice to the Site by contacting us as provided above under “Contact Us” regarding any updates to any such User’s contact information previously submitted by such User to the Site. 

  1. Additional User Representations.

Each User represents and covenants that: (i) it owns and/or has all necessary rights and authority to offer for lease and to lease the property listed by such User; (ii) it will not wrongfully withhold a lease deposit in breach of the underlying lease agreement; (iii) it will accurately describe the subject rental property, will not fail to disclose a material defect in, or material information about, a rental property and will upon request, or otherwise from time to time, review the property listing content and location or geographic description to ensure it is accurate and not misleading ; (iv) it will not wrongfully deny access to the listed property; and (v) it will not fail to provide a refund when due as defined in the Lease agreement (if any). If American Farm Financing incurs any cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees), expense, claim, damages, loss, or liability as a result of your breach of any of the foregoing representations and covenants, American Farm Financing reserves the right to recover from you the full amount of the same. Upon our request, each User agrees to promptly provide to us such proof of personal identification, proof that the condition, location, or unique characteristics associated with the property are accurately described in the listing, proof of ownership of the property listed on the Site, and/or proof of authority to list the property.

  1. Appearance in Search Results.  

We cannot guarantee that your listing will appear in any specific order in search results on the Site. Search order will fluctuate based on a variety of factors such as search parameters, subscription level purchased, listing quality, how frequently a calendar is updated, grower preferences, User response time, Lease history, online commitment capability, compliance with posted listing practice requirements, and other factors that we may deem important to the User experience from time to time.  Listing appearance or order in any particular search result may also vary depending on the search criteria used by the particular grower. We reserve the right to apply various search algorithms or to use methods to optimize results for particular Users’ needs and the overall marketplace. Listings distributed on third-party sites as provided in Section 34 below are not guaranteed to display on such third-party site in any particular order or at all. Search results and order may appear differently on American Farm Financing’s mobile application than they appear on the Site. To optimize the search experience for both Users and growers and improve the match process, American Farm Financing reserves the right to run occasional tests to determine how we display listings and search results.

  1. Content, Layout and Copy.

All content and copy edits submitted by Users are subject to review and approval by us in our sole discretion.  We reserve the right to refuse to publish any content that we determine in our sole discretion does not meet these Terms or is otherwise unacceptable to us.  However, we assume no duty to review content and we shall not have any liability for any loss or damage resulting from the design or positioning of the copy, properties, content and/or photographs or any change made to any content, photograph or copy submitted by any User. All content must meet these Terms and our Content Guidelines. We reserve the right to edit content submitted to the Site in a non-substantive manner solely to ensure that the content complies with our Content Guidelines or formatting requirements.   Users are responsible for reviewing and ensuring that any content displayed on the Site appears as the User intended.

  1. Photographs.

Photographs should depict the property as the main subject of the photograph. Any information or images that would violate the privacy rights, intellectual property rights (including but not limited to copyright rights) or any other rights of a third party is prohibited. We reserve the right to not display or to remove any photographs that we determine, in our sole discretion, do not meet these Terms or are otherwise unacceptable to us.

By submitting a photograph to us, the User represents and warrants that (a) it holds all intellectual property rights (including but not limited to all copyright rights), (b) that any people in the photograph have given permission for their likeness to be displayed in an online advertisement on the Site, (c) that the photograph accurately and fairly represents the subject of the photograph and has not been altered in any manner that would mislead a viewer of that photograph, and (d) that it will indemnify and hold harmless American Farm Financing from any cause of action arising from any misrepresentation with respect to any and all photographs so submitted or in the event of claims that the use of a photograph violates another party’s copyright.

It is the User’s responsibility to obtain any and all permissions required to use, post and grant the foregoing rights in all photographic and other material used in its listings.  The User warrants that it is the owner of the copyright in such material or is authorized by the owner thereof to grant to us the rights therein contained and agrees to provide any proof of such rights to us that we may request. Each User further agrees that we may reproduce in whole or in part any photographic material supplied by such User in the promotion of either such User’s property or the Site.

  1. Uses of Our Trademarks or Logos.

There are limited ways in which a User may use our trademarks, service marks or logos in connection with a listing without specific prior written authorization.  The following are general guidelines. It is usually permissible for you to refer to American Farm Financing or the name of one of our affiliate websites on which you list your property in a descriptive manner in your listing on the Site or in other permissible communications.  However, you may not refer to American Farm Financing or any of our affiliates in any way that might lead someone to believe that your company, property, listing or site is sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by American Farm Financing or one of our affiliates. You may not use the American Farm Financing name or one of our affiliates’ names on any other website that lists land rentals without our prior written authorization.

The American Farm Financing name and logo and those of the American Farm Financing and our affiliates are service marks, trademarks or registered trademarks in the United States and other jurisdictions around the world.  We generally do not permit the use of our names and logos, other than as described above or with our prior written authorization. If you want permission to use our name and/or logo in any other manner, including, without limitation, on any website, business card, signage, t-shirt, etc., or if you have other questions, you may visit Americanfarmfinancing.com.

  1. Hypertext Links.  

if a hypertext link is used for any purpose other than an authorized cross listing of a property for sale linked to a licensed broker, we reserve the right to refuse hypertext links to, or addresses of, other websites from Users’ pages, and to remove links or web addresses without notice at our sole discretion. 

  1. Substitution of Properties; Advertising More Than One Property; Property Managers. 

Each listing must relate to an individual and uniquely identified property, unless you purchased a listing package that expressly allows for substitution of properties. This means that:

  • The property in a listing may not be substituted for another property without our consent.  We may approve a request in our discretion if the property manager’s contract for the property was terminated and the User provides sufficient proof, as requested by us, and completes any additional forms we may request.  The type and term of the listing for any substituted property shall be the same as the type and term of the originally-listed property (i.e., the term will not be extended past the original term). If a User submits changes to an existing listing that, if approved, would substantially alter the listing to make it that of another property, then we have the right to terminate the listing (i.e., remove it from the Site and Services) and may choose, in our sole discretion, to retain any fees associated previously existing listing as compensation for the violation of this condition.
  • The listing cannot be a mere example of properties in a given area.  Only one property can appear on each listing, unless it is a property with multiple rental units and additional listings are purchased.  We reserve the right to amend the copy or remove any listing when more than one property is described in such listing, and may choose, in our sole discretion to retain any fees associated such non-conforming listing as compensation for the violation of this condition. 

     

  1. Distribution of Listings to Third Party Websites.

To enable Users to obtain broader distribution of their properties, we may provide your listing information and content, or otherwise provide for the distribution of your listing on a third party website.  Additional terms and conditions may apply to such distributions, as we may notify you of via your owner dashboard or email.  If we do provide your listing to a third party website, all of your obligations to American Farm Financing will continue to be in effect, pursuant to these Terms and any other agreement you enter into with American Farm Financing.

  1. Termination of Listings; Other Remedies.

If, in our sole discretion, any User submits unsuitable material to our Site or into our database, is not abiding by local regulations and is creating a nuisance in its community, misuses the Site or our online system or is in material breach of these Terms, we reserve the right to limit the User’s use of the Site, impact the User’s listing(s) search position, and/or terminate such User’s listing immediately without refund. In addition, if we become aware of or receive a complaint or a series of complaints from any User or other third party regarding a User’s listing or Lease practices that, in our sole discretion, warrants the immediate removal of such User’s listing from the Site, then we may immediately terminate such User’s listing(s) or subscription(s) without notice to the User and without refund.  We assume no duty to investigate complaints. Finally, if any User is abusive or offensive to any employee or representative of the American Farm Financing, we reserve the right to terminate such User’s listing(s) or subscription(s) immediately without refund.

In addition to reserving the right to terminate any listing, American Farm Financing reserves all rights to respond to any violation of these Terms or misuse of the Site by, including, but not limited to, hiding a listing from the search results, marking a User as “out of office,” and removing or changing information that may be false or misleading.
