We strive to provide accurate, up-to-date, and useful information. However, farming conditions vary enormously by region, microclimate, soil type, and individual management history.

We strongly recommend that you consult with local agricultural professionals before implementing significant changes to your farming practices based on information found on our website.
SmokeBrine reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes, but we are not obligated to maintain any specific feature or tool indefinitely.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If you reside in such a jurisdiction, the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by law, but they shall apply to the maximum extent permitted.

You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted on an individual basis only.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be void.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.
