Terms of Service
Effective: June 13, 2025 · Synchro Labs LLC · support@datacrop.dev
1. Agreement to These Terms
Welcome to DataCrop, a software service operated by Synchro Labs LLC (“Synchro Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York. By creating an account or accessing the DataCrop API or website (collectively, the “Service”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
DataCrop provides programmatic access, via a REST API and web dashboard, to processed agricultural commodity and macroeconomic data derived from publicly available government sources, including the United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA NASS), the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (USDA AMS), and the Federal Reserve Economic Data service (FRED). The Service is intended for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute financial, trading, investment, or commodity advice.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. If you access the Service on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to “you” include both you individually and that entity.
4. Account Registration and Security
You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and keep it up to date. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API key and account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at support@datacrop.dev if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. Synchro Labs is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your credentials.
5. Subscription Plans and Fees
DataCrop offers tiered subscription plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise). Current pricing for each plan is listed at datacrop.dev/pricing. Features, rate limits, and data access vary by tier. We reserve the right to modify pricing for future billing periods with at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to existing subscribers before any such change takes effect at their next renewal.
6. Automatic Renewal
Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current rate unless you cancel before the renewal date. For annual subscriptions, we will send a reminder email to the address on file at least seven (7) days before the renewal date. By subscribing to a paid plan, you expressly authorize us to charge your payment method on the recurring basis applicable to your plan until you cancel. You may cancel at any time through your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid period, and you will not be charged for subsequent periods.
7. Payment Processing
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you authorize Synchro Labs to instruct Stripe to charge your payment method for all applicable subscription fees. If a payment fails, we may suspend your access until payment is successfully collected. You are responsible for all applicable taxes.
8. Refunds — All Sales Are Final
Except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in our Refund Policy, all subscription fees are non-refundable. This applies to both monthly and annual subscriptions, including charges for any partial period. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not entitle you to a refund of amounts already charged.
9. Free Tier
The Free plan provides limited API access at no charge. Free tier access is provided “as-is” and is not covered by any service level commitment. We reserve the right to modify, restrict, or discontinue Free tier access with thirty (30) days’ notice.
10. Acceptable Use
Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), incorporated into these Terms by reference. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation, reverse engineering the platform, reselling API access without authorization, and misrepresenting the origin of DataCrop data. Violation of the AUP may result in immediate suspension or termination.
11. API Keys and Rate Limits
Your API key is non-transferable and for your use only. You may not share, resell, or distribute your API key. Each subscription tier includes defined request rate limits. Attempts to circumvent rate limits—including through the use of multiple accounts or keys—are prohibited and may result in account termination.
12. Informational Disclaimer
DataCrop is an informational tool. The data provided through the Service originates from public-domain government databases and is processed and presented for planning purposes. Synchro Labs does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data. Nothing in the Service constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or trade any commodity, security, or financial instrument. You assume full responsibility for decisions made in reliance on Service data.
13. Intellectual Property
The DataCrop platform, API design, documentation, web interface, data models, and compiled presentation layers are proprietary to Synchro Labs LLC and protected by applicable intellectual property law. The underlying government-sourced data (USDA NASS, USDA AMS, FRED) is in the public domain and is not claimed by Synchro Labs. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or create derivative works of any Synchro Labs proprietary material without express written permission.
14. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account without prior notice for material violation of these Terms, non-payment of fees, or activity that endangers the security, integrity, or availability of the Service. You may close your account at any time through account settings. Termination does not entitle you to a refund. Sections 8, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 survive termination.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. We will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice of material changes via email. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a change, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription before the effective date.
16. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Synchro Labs LLC disclaims all implied warranties, including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data will be accurate or complete.
17. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Synchro Labs LLC’s total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100.00). In no event shall Synchro Labs be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
18. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Synchro Labs LLC, its members, officers, agents, and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with proceedings conducted in New York, New York. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration proceeding. This arbitration clause does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or prevent imminent harm.
20. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For any matters not subject to arbitration under Section 19, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.
