Terms of Service: Cultiv'Up

Last Updated: February 27, 2026

1. General Provisions & Identity

These Terms of Service govern the use of Cultiv'Up, a web application owned and operated by Pecquereau SRL, a Belgian company with its registered office in Velaines, registered under BCE number 0555923331.

By creating an account, you agree to these terms. Cultiv'Up is a tool designed to assist in agricultural management; however, the user remains solely responsible for their legal obligations.

2. Services & "As-Is" Disclaimer

Cultiv'Up provides features for field management, crop tracking, stock monitoring, and operation recording.

  • No Legal Guarantee: While the app allows for data export for government controls, Pecquereau SRL does not guarantee that these exports meet the ever-changing legal requirements of Belgian or EU authorities.
  • The "As-Is" Clause: The service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted.

3. Subscription & Payment (Stripe)

Our payment process is securely conducted by Stripe.

  • Merchant of Record: PECQUEREAU SRL is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Payment processing services are provided by Stripe.
  • Trial Period: We offer a 30-day free trial managed internally. No payment details are required for the trial. Upon expiration, access to premium features will be restricted unless a subscription is purchased via Stripe.

4. Right of Withdrawal & Refunds (Belgian Law)

In accordance with Belgian and EU consumer law:

  • Digital Content: By subscribing and requesting immediate access to the service, you acknowledge that you waive your 14-day right of withdrawal once the digital content delivery has begun.
  • Refunds: Since we provide a 30-day free trial to evaluate the software's fitness for your needs, payments made via Stripe are generally non-refundable except in cases of technical failure on our part that prevents service use.

5. Limitation of Liability (The "Protection" Clause)

To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, Pecquereau SRL shall not be held liable for:

  • Data Accuracy: Any errors in stock levels, fertilizer calculations, or pesticide applications entered by the user.
  • Regulatory Penalties: Any fines, sanctions, or legal issues the user faces during government inspections. The user is responsible for verifying the accuracy of exported data before submission to authorities.
  • Financial Loss: Indirect damages, loss of crops, loss of profits, or business interruption.
  • Total Cap: In any event, our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by the user for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

6. Data Responsibility & Hosting

  • Ownership: You retain all rights to your data.
  • Hosting: Data is stored via Firebase/Google Cloud Firestore. While we use industry-standard security, we are not liable for third-party hosting outages or data breaches beyond our reasonable control.

7. User Obligations

You agree not to:

  • Use the app for any illegal purposes.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer the webapp.
  • Input false data intended to deceive regulatory bodies.

8. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms or fail to pay. Upon termination, you will have 30 days to export your data before it is permanently deleted from our Firestore database.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Belgian Law. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tournai.
