Terms & Conditions

FarmerFinder is a trading name of ADFC Consulting Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (the "Company", "we", "us", "our"). Our platform is operated at farmerfinder.co.uk.

We connect customers who require outdoor and agricultural services ("Customers") with self-employed farmers and contractors ("Farmers") who offer such services.

ADFC Consulting Ltd is not a contractor, employment agency or labour provider. We do not employ, supervise, direct or control any Farmer listed on this platform.

FarmerFinder acts solely as an advertising and introduction service. We are not party to any contract, agreement or arrangement made between a Customer and a Farmer. Any contract for services is made directly between the Customer and the Farmer on terms they agree between themselves.

We do not guarantee that any Farmer is available, suitable, qualified, insured or licensed for any particular task. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply to the contract between the Customer and the Farmer, not to the introduction service we provide.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use this platform. By using FarmerFinder you confirm that you are 18 or over and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. The platform is intended for use within the United Kingdom only.

Farmers are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and currency of the information they provide in their profiles, including services offered, areas covered, qualifications, insurance and contact details. ADFC Consulting Ltd does not independently verify any information provided by Farmers.

We reserve the right to remove or suspend any listing at our sole discretion, including where we have reason to believe a listing is misleading, fraudulent or in breach of these terms, without notice and without liability.

Before instructing any work, Customers are solely responsible for:

• Verifying that the Farmer holds appropriate public liability insurance for the work to be undertaken;
• Checking that the Farmer holds any licences, certifications or qualifications required by law (e.g. chainsaw certificates, pesticide licences, waste carrier registration);
• Agreeing the scope, price, payment terms and timescales directly with the Farmer before work commences;
• Ensuring they have relevant planning permissions, neighbour consents or landowner approvals where required;
• Satisfying themselves of the Farmer's suitability, competence and safety record for the task.

FarmerFinder strongly recommends obtaining a written quotation and confirming all terms in writing before any work begins. ADFC Consulting Ltd is not responsible for any loss, injury, damage or payment dispute arising from a failure to carry out these checks, or from a Customer's failure to verify that a Farmer holds adequate insurance for the specific works instructed. Customers proceed entirely at their own risk.

Farmers listed on FarmerFinder must at all times:

• Hold adequate public liability insurance for every service they offer, and be able to produce evidence of such insurance on request;
• Possess all licences, certifications and qualifications required by law for the services they advertise;
• Comply with all applicable legislation, including but not limited to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011, and employment law;
• Provide accurate and truthful information in their profile and promptly update it if circumstances change;
• Deal with Customers honestly, professionally and in good faith;
• Not misrepresent their skills, experience, qualifications, availability or insurance coverage.

Farmers who do not meet these requirements must not register on or continue to use the platform. By creating a profile, a Farmer confirms ongoing compliance with these requirements.

FarmerFinder is an introduction and advertising platform only. Once a Customer and Farmer have been introduced through the platform, any agreement for the provision of services — including the scope of works, price, payment terms, timing and method of payment — is made solely and directly between the Customer and the Farmer. ADFC Consulting Ltd is not a party to that agreement and has no involvement in, oversight of, or responsibility for it whatsoever.

No liability for services: ADFC Consulting Ltd accepts absolutely no responsibility or liability of any kind for:

• The provision, non-provision, quality, safety, fitness for purpose, timeliness or legality of any services agreed between a Customer and a Farmer;
• Any failure by a Farmer to commence, complete or perform any agreed works to any standard;
• Any act, omission, negligence or default of any Farmer in the performance (or non-performance) of services;
• Any dispute between a Customer and a Farmer regarding the works, price, payment or any other matter;
• Any personal injury, illness, death, property damage, financial loss or any other loss or damage of any kind, whether direct, indirect, consequential, special or punitive, arising from or in connection with services arranged through the platform.

No liability for payment: ADFC Consulting Ltd has no involvement in, and accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for, any payment made or not made between a Customer and a Farmer. All financial arrangements, including pricing, invoicing, payment disputes and refunds, are entirely a matter between the Customer and the Farmer.

Insurance — Farmer obligation: Every Farmer listed on FarmerFinder must, as a strict condition of using the platform, hold adequate and appropriate public liability insurance (and any other insurance required by law or good practice) that covers all services they advertise and undertake. Farmers must be able to produce documentary evidence of their insurance on request by a Customer or by ADFC Consulting Ltd.

Insurance — Customer responsibility: It is the sole responsibility of each Customer to satisfy themselves, before instructing any works, that the Farmer holds insurance that is sufficient in type, scope and level of cover for the specific job to be undertaken. Customers must not rely on FarmerFinder to verify a Farmer's insurance and must make their own independent enquiries.

No liability for insured or uninsured works: ADFC Consulting Ltd accepts absolutely no liability whatsoever in connection with any works undertaken — whether or not the Farmer holds adequate or any insurance at the time of those works. This includes, without limitation, any claim arising from an uninsured Farmer, an under-insured Farmer, an insurer's refusal to meet a claim, or any gap in insurance coverage. The Customer assumes all risk associated with instructing a Farmer whose insurance they have not independently verified.

Statutory rights: Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our own negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under English law.

Where ADFC Consulting Ltd is found liable to you for any matter not excluded above, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) £100.

Farmer listings are available on a subscription basis. The current pricing is £39.99 per year (approximately £3.33 per month), following a free first year for new registrants. No card details are required during the free year.

• Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
• You may cancel at any time through your dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no partial refunds are given for unused time, except where required by law.

• All prices are quoted in pounds sterling (GBP) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
• In accordance with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have a statutory right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of purchase. Exercise of this right must be notified via our contact page.

• The review is based on your genuine, first-hand experience of the Farmer's services;
• It is accurate and honest to the best of your knowledge;
• It does not contain defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, harassing or unlawful content;
