Terms of Use

tater.farm — A service of Farmapper, LLC

Effective Date: July 4, 2026 · Last Updated: July 4, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Farmapper, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company doing business as "Tater Farm" ("we," "us," or "Farmapper"), governing your use of the tater.farm website, hosted application, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What tater.farm Is

tater.farm is a web-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) tool that converts written land descriptions — including PLSS descriptions, metes-and-bounds traverses, and lot-and-block references — into map geometry (polygons) using a combination of:

• Vision and language models (AI) that parse legal text and scanned deed images;
• U.S. Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") Public Land Survey System ("PLSS") cadastral data; and
• Interactive map rendering and export tools.

The Service is delivered entirely through your web browser. There is nothing to download or install. No desktop or mobile application is offered or licensed under these Terms.

2. Eligibility and Account

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. You may use the Service without an account for guest transactions, or you may create an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you provide and for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials associated with your account.

3. Your Content and Rights

3.1 What you upload

You may submit to the Service written legal descriptions (typed or pasted text), scanned deed images or PDF documents ("Deed Files"), coordinates, points of beginning, and other geographic inputs, and any other data you choose to provide (collectively, "User Content").

3.2 You keep ownership

You retain all right, title, and interest in your User Content. Uploading a Deed File or entering a legal description does not transfer ownership to us. We do not claim copyright or any proprietary interest in your source material.

3.3 Generated output belongs to you

The map geometry, polygons, coordinate lists, and exported files (KML, GeoJSON, Shapefile, and any other format we offer) produced by the Service from your User Content (collectively, "Generated Output") are yours to use without restriction. You may:

• Use Generated Output for any lawful purpose, personal or commercial;
• Modify, redistribute, incorporate into other work, publish, sublicense, or sell Generated Output;
• Retain, delete, or store Generated Output as you see fit.

We claim no ownership over Generated Output and impose no per-use royalty, attribution, or downstream licensing requirement on your use of it. Attribution to tater.farm is appreciated but not required.

3.4 Limited license to us (to run the Service)

So we can actually deliver the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, display, and analyze your User Content and Generated Output solely to (a) provide the Service to you, (b) support and troubleshoot your account, (c) improve accuracy and reliability of the Service in aggregated or de-identified form, and (d) comply with applicable law. This license ends when you or we delete the content, subject to reasonable backup and log-retention periods described in our Privacy Policy.

3.5 Third-party AI processing

Legal descriptions and deed images you submit are processed by third-party AI providers as part of the parsing pipeline. Those providers act as processors for us and are contractually restricted from using your content to train their public models. See our Privacy Policy for the current list of processors.

3.6 What you promise about your User Content

You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to submit each Deed File and legal description you upload, and that doing so does not infringe any third party's rights or violate any law. You are solely responsible for the legality of what you upload.

4. Pricing and Payment

Current pricing is displayed on the Service and may be updated from time to time. As of the effective date, standard pricing is $3.00 (USD) for the first parcel and $1.00 (USD) for each additional parcel, with no subscription required.

• Successful parcels only. For pay-per-parcel usage, your payment method is authorized for the estimated amount, and only captured for parcels that successfully map. Parcels that fail to parse or map are not charged.
• Payment processing. All payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
• Refunds. If a parcel maps but produces obviously defective geometry due to a Service error, contact support and we will consider a refund in good faith. Refunds are otherwise at our discretion.
• Taxes. You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes on your transactions unless we collect them at checkout.

5. Accuracy Disclaimer — Read Carefully

tater.farm is an informational mapping tool. It is not a substitute for a professional land survey, title search, or legal opinion. The Generated Output is provided "as is" for informational purposes only and must not be used as an official boundary description or as the basis for any legal, engineering, construction, financing, insurance, or transactional decision without independent verification by a licensed professional (such as a licensed land surveyor, title officer, or attorney).

5.1 AI parsing limitations

The Service uses artificial-intelligence models to interpret legal descriptions and scanned deed images. AI parsing is inherently probabilistic. It can and does make mistakes, including but not limited to:

• Misreading handwritten, faint, faxed, or low-resolution scans;
• Misinterpreting ambiguous, unusual, or historically drafted legal descriptions;
• Applying an incorrect Point of Beginning, bearing convention, magnetic-declination adjustment, or unit of measure;
• Missing exceptions, easements, road rights-of-way, water boundaries, or reservations described in the deed;
• Producing geometry that is geometrically valid but factually wrong.

You are solely responsible for reviewing every Generated Output against the underlying legal description before relying on it. Do not use Generated Output as-is for filings, closings, permits, disputes, or any other consequential purpose without independent verification.

5.2 BLM / PLSS cadastral data limitations

The Service incorporates PLSS cadastral data published by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. BLM provides that data "as is" and disclaims responsibility for errors, omissions, and accuracy. You acknowledge that:

• PLSS boundaries in the BLM dataset are approximate and may not match the actual monumented boundary on the ground;
• Coverage is uneven and largely limited to states west of the Mississippi River, plus certain other jurisdictions;
• Data may change over time, and the Service may not reflect the most current version;
• Official PLSS records may only be obtained from the appropriate BLM state office or your local county recorder.

Any reliance on PLSS-derived output is at your own risk. You should consult official PLSS records and a licensed land surveyor before treating any tater.farm output as authoritative.

5.3 No warranty of accuracy or fitness

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT GENERATED OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, ERROR-FREE, OR FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, INCLUDING BOUNDARY DETERMINATION, TITLE ASSURANCE, EASEMENT IDENTIFICATION, OR ACREAGE CALCULATION. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to violate any law or third-party right;
• Upload content you do not have the right to upload;
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service (except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law);
• Introduce malware or automated abuse into the Service;
• Rate-limit-evade, resell API access without written permission, or scrape the Service in ways that materially degrade its performance for others;
• Use Generated Output to knowingly misrepresent property boundaries in a way likely to harm a third party.

7. Availability, Changes, and Termination

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may terminate or suspend your access if you materially breach these Terms or use the Service in a way we reasonably believe creates legal risk. You may stop using the Service and, where applicable, delete your account at any time.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FARMAPPER, LLC AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY GENERATED OUTPUT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THAT PERIOD, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Farmapper, LLC and its owners harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) User Content you submit, (b) your use of Generated Output, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

10. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising under these Terms must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Ada County, Idaho, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top and, where practical, communicated by email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

12. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.
