LANDSHARE TERMS OF USE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Welcome to Landshare (“Landshare”). Landshare is operated and owned by KEO Films.com Ltd (“we”, “us” or “our” as appropriate). We make Landshare available through a number of channels, including via the website at www.landshare.net and via an i-phone app.
1.2. Any use of Landshare and any content accessed or downloaded from Landshare (including any content posted by users) will be governed by these Landshare Terms of Use and any other documents mentioned within these terms. You should therefore read them carefully to understand your rights and liabilities before using Landshare.

Any changes will take effect seven (7) days after the date of our e-mail to you notifying you of a change or the date on which we post the modified terms on Landshare, whichever is the earlier. Your continued use of Landshare after these terms have been changed will be treated as acceptance by you of the updated or amended terms.

2. REGISTRATION AND MINIMUM AGE
2.1. In order to interact with Landshare and Landshare Members you must register and become a Landshare Member. When you register (whether via the Landshare Site or the Landshare App) you will be asked to “accept” the terms and, on doing so, you will be deemed to have consented to and will be bound by these terms.
2.2. You must be 18 years or over to register with and/or use Landshare and there must be no reason why you should not be in contact with any other Landshare Members.
3.1. You must ensure that all the information you provide when you register as a Landshare Member is true, accurate, current and complete in all respects.
3.2. You must notify us immediately of any change to any of the information you have previously given us by updating your information in your ‘My Profile’ page of the Landshare website.
3.3. If you are joining Landshare as an individual user your registration is for your sole use only. If you wish to join on behalf of an organisation, by submitting your registration details, you are representing that you have authority to bind your organisation.
3.4. Please do not share your registration details with any other person as you will be held responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account with or without your knowledge. By registering on Landshare, you confirm that you will treat your login details as confidential. If you have any concerns regarding your login details or become aware of any misuse then you must inform us immediately by contacting us at info@landshare.net.
What we do
4.1. We provide an open platform allowing anyone who wishes to be involved in the Landshare project to register and to search the list of other Landshare Members to identify people who they may wish to contact to assist them (whether as a grower, landowner or helper) in setting up their own landsharing arrangements.
What we don’t do
4.2. We do not have any involvement in or responsibility for the arrangements you make with others through Landshare. They are solely private arrangements made directly between the individuals concerned.
4.3. We do not monitor, check or verify the identity of anyone who registers with Landshare (whether as a grower, landowner or helper) or the information they provide. Nor do we carry out any checks (such as Criminal Records Bureau checks) on anyone who registers. We cannot therefore give any guarantee that any of the Landshare Members are who they say they are or are appropriate for you to contact and we make no recommendations in relation to any of these Landshare Members regardless of the category within which they are registered.
4.4. ACCORDINGLY, WHEN USING THE LANDSHARE SITE YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHO YOU HAVE CONTACT WITH AND THE NATURE, TERMS AND EXTENT OF THAT CONTACT. YOU MUST CARRY OUT YOUR OWN INDEPENDENT CHECKS ON THESE PEOPLE BEFORE PROVIDING SENSITIVE INFORMATION SUCH AS CONTACT DETAILS OR DECIDING WHETHER TO MEET THEM, ALLOW THEM TO ASSIST YOU OR ENTER INTO ANY ARRANGEMENT WITH THEM. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE CARRYING OUT THE SAME CHECKS AND TAKING THE SAME PRECAUTIONS AS YOU WOULD DO WHEN DEALING WITH ANYONE WHO YOU MET INDEPENDENTLY OFF THE STREET.
4.5. If you have any doubt at all in the veracity and/or safety of another Landshare Member or any information provided by them, immediately discontinue all contact. Report all serious concerns to us via the “Report” buttons on the site and/or by emailing us at info@landshare.net.
4.6. To be clear, each Landshare Member (including each grower, landowner or helper), acts on his/her own behalf at all times and does not act as our representative or agent in any way. Neither do we endorse or are we responsible for any of the actions of any Landshare Member.
4.7. We provide Landshare Members with the opportunity to form groups of 6 people in order to apply to their local council in order to request an allotment. Landshare assists in providing the pro forma letters to be used in order to request allotments from the council. However, Landshare accepts no responsibility for the council’s actions and is not an agent, sub-contractor, partner or otherwise of the council.
4.8. We also enable Landshare Members to join groups on the website, which will be displayed on the Landshare map on the website. Members of those groups will be able to post information on upcoming events and to send inmail messages to other members of their group. Landshare does not accept responsibility for the actions of those groups or their members or the events they post. Some groups will represent organisations but Landshare accepts no liability for the actions of those organisations and is not an agent, sub-contractor, partner or otherwise of those organisations.
5. LANDSHARING PRINCIPLES, GUIDELINES & TEMPLATE AGREEMENTS
5.1. Landshare is a community space where people can share their resources (and knowledge). It is intended that resources (including land) should be shared predominantly, if not wholly, without any financial fee or charge (although some large landowners may be required to charge a nominal fee for sharing their land). As such, Landshare is not to be used for any commercial purposes (for example advertising).
5.2. Any pro forma/template legal agreement(s) and guidelines for Landsharing are provided for general guidance only and must not be considered as definitive legal advice. Given the large number of situations in which people may wish to interact, you are strongly recommended to obtain independent legal advice before entering into any type of agreement or arrangement with another Landshare Member. We take no responsibility in relation to any agreements that you do enter into nor any other rights, duties and/ or liabilities that you might expose yourself to or require from any other person who you might meet through Landshare or otherwise.
5.3. We have prepared the pro-forma legal agreement(s) that can be downloaded from the Landshare website as simple templates that you may wish to use as a starting point when putting together agreements for Landshare arrangements with other Landshare Members.
5.4. However, each potential growing space is unique and there are numerous complicated laws relating to property that may also differ from site to site. These templates cannot cover every possible circumstance and will always need to be altered to some extent, even for use with the most straightforward Landshare arrangement with another Landshare Member.
5.5. IT IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT THAT, BEFORE YOU PROCEED, YOU TAKE INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE ON:
(I) THE CONSEQUENCES OF ENTERING INTO ANY LANDSHARING ARRANGEMENT;
(II) WHETHER THE TEMPLATE IS A SUITABLE STARTING POINT FOR YOU; AND
(III) THE CHANGES NEEDED TO ADAPT THE TEMPLATE TO YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
YOU SHOULD NEVER SEEK TO USE OR ADAPT THESE TEMPLATES WITHOUT OBTAINING THIS ADVICE FIRST AS EVEN SIMPLE ARRANGEMENTS MAY HAVE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS UNINTENDED LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
5.6. These templates and any guidelines are provided only for use with the Landshare project and should not be used for any other purposes. In particular they are not intended to be used for business purposes.
5.7. We shall not be liable for any losses, including without limitation any loss of profit or revenue that you may suffer in connection with these templates, any guidelines or any other information or content made available from Landshare even if caused by our negligence.

The rules of the Landshare community
6.3. Any content which you and other users post or contribute to Landshare using its interactive features, including forums, questions and answers and blogs is generally known as “user generated content” or “UGC” for short. The following provisions explain the rules for contributing content, how we and other users may use your UGC and how you can use their UGC.
6.4. Obviously we positively encourage Landshare Members to make full use of Landshare and in particular participate in the Landshare community. However, to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and satisfying experience, we require that you abide by the guidelines set out in our Code of Conduct as well as the rules set out below:
6.4.1. You agree to ensure that:
§ all information provided by you via Landshare or which you provide to other Landshare Members or in connection with any potential Landshare Project is accurate, true and up to date in all respects and at all times and is not misleading in any way;
§ all content posted by you is lawful and not defamatory, abusive, threatening, harassing, obscene, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable or embarrassing to any other person as determined by us in our sole discretion;
§ you will use Landshare and any information and content obtained from it lawfully and only for the purposes for which it has been provided and in accordance with these terms;

§ intentionally make false or misleading statements about any proposed landsharing arrangement(s); or
§ engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits any other persons from using or enjoying Landshare, our platform or the Landshare project, or which, in our judgment, exposes us to any liability or detriment of any type.
6.5. Please note that any posting of information on or via Landshare (including by our ‘Helpers’ and ‘Experts’) is the opinion of the person posting only and does not necessarily reflect our opinions or attitudes. Although we believe the Landshare community contains a huge wealth of information of benefit to many users, you must remember that we operate an open platform and sometimes content is posted that is misleading, deceptive, or indeed completely wrong. You should not therefore rely on information being accurate or complete. If you do, you do so at your own risk.
