4Intellectual Property

4.1Ownership of Our Content

All content on the App, including text, graphics, logos, icons, source code, object code, design, user interface elements, and other materials (collectively "Our Content"), is owned by Farm Shop Drive Ltd. or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Copyright protection in the UK arises automatically when the work is created in a fixed form.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

4.2Your Licence to Use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a licence to use the App and Our Content as described in Section 1b.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, perform, publish, licence, create derivative works from, reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the App or Our Content, except where permitted by law or with our prior written consent.

4.3Content Submitted by Farm Shops

By providing logos, photos, descriptions, or other materials for your listing ("Shop Content"), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, reproduce, distribute, display and promote the Shop Content in connection with the App and our promotional activities.

You represent and warrant that you own the rights to the Shop Content or have the necessary permissions, and that its use by us will not infringe any third-party rights.

4.4User-Generated Content

As noted in Section 2d, any content submitted by Users is licensed to us under the stated licence.

You, the User, retain ownership of your content but grant us the licence above.

4.5Code Ownership, Third-Party & Open-Source Components

If the App uses open-source software, third-party libraries or frameworks, those are subject to their applicable licences. It is your responsibility (whether as a User or Farm Shop) to comply with any terms of such open-source or third-party components.

Where you provide any modifications, integrations or extensions to the App (for example as part of a Farm Shop listing or integration), you warrant you have the rights to do so and assign or licence to us any rights needed for operation.

4.6Developer/Contributor Assignment

If any part of the App or its code is developed by employees, contractors, freelancers or third-parties, appropriate agreements should be in place to ensure full assignment of IP rights to Farm Shop Drive Ltd. (or otherwise as agreed). UK guidance emphasises that for code created by freelancers or third parties you must have written agreements to transfer ownership.

4.7Trade Marks and Branding

You may not use our trade marks, service marks, logos, branding, or the App's name without our prior written consent.

We may use the trade marks and branding of Farm Shops within the App for their listing, subject to permissions granted in Section 4.3.

4.8Enforcement and Monitoring

We reserve the right to monitor for infringement of our IP rights and to take such steps as we deem necessary to enforce those rights (including removal of infringing content, issuing cease-and-desist letters, and/or legal action).

If you believe any content on the App infringes your rights, contact us at support@farmshopdrive.com to raise the matter.

4.9Duration of IP Rights

In the UK, copyright in a work typically lasts for the life of the creator plus 70 years (for literary, artistic, dramatic and musical works) and longer in some cases; software is protected as a literary work.

Trade marks must be renewed periodically; design rights and patents have their own terms.

4.10Warranties and Indemnities

You warrant that (i) you have all necessary rights in any content you submit; (ii) your submission does not violate any third-party rights; and (iii) you will comply with all applicable open-source or third-party licences.

You agree to indemnify us for any claims, liabilities, losses or expenses arising from breach of the above warranties.

The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App or your interactions with Farm Shops.

Our total liability to you will not exceed the amount paid by you (if any) to use the App.
