Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions for MifugoCare

Version: 1.0
Effective Date: 12 November 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to MifugoCare (“we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the MifugoCare mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

MifugoCare is designed primarily for dairy farmers to help them manage their farm operations through three core functions:

Track animals— Maintain records for individual livestock including health history, breeding cycles, milk production, veterinary visits, and location/pen assignments.
Track supplies— Monitor inventory of feed, medicines, supplements, equipment, and other farm inputs with quantity alerts and usage logs.
Track tasks— Schedule, assign, and record completion of farm activities such as feeding, milking, treatments, cleaning, and maintenance.

The App may also be used for educational purposes by agricultural students.

By downloading, installing, or using MifugoCare, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions — including the provisions that (1) the App’s core functions are animal, supply, and task tracking; (2) MifugoCare is not liable for any loss of your data; (3) cloud backup is voluntary, platform-specific, and your responsibility; (4) the App provides no veterinary advice; and (5) under-18 students may use the App only for educational purposes with parental consent.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

2.1 General Users (Dairy Farmers)

You must be at least 18 years old to use MifugoCare for commercial or professional farming purposes.

2.2 Student Users (Under 18)

Individuals under 18 may use the App only for genuine educational purposes (e.g., agricultural school projects) and only with:

Verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms; and
Supervision by a teacher, instructor, or parent.

Parents/guardians assume full responsibility for any actions taken by a minor using the App.

3. Core Functions Described

3.1 Animal Tracking

You can record and view for each animal:

Unique identification (tag/name/number)
Breed, age, and physical characteristics
Health events (illnesses, treatments, vaccinations)
Breeding history (heat dates, insemination, calving)
Milk production (daily/weekly yields, quality indicators)
Location within the farm (shed, paddock, pen)

3.2 Supply Tracking

You can record and manage:

Current stock levels of feed, medicines, vaccines, and equipment
Reorder thresholds and low-stock alerts
Purchase history and supplier information
Usage logs (which animal or task consumed the supply)

3.3 Task Tracking

You can:

Create scheduled tasks (e.g., “Monday 7am — Milk Cow A”)
Assign tasks to specific farm workers
Set reminders and due dates
Mark tasks as completed or pending
View task history and completion rates

The App provides basic analysis such as trends in milk production, supply usage rates, and task completion efficiency.

4. Data Storage — Local by Default

By default, all data you enter into MifugoCare is stored locally on your device only. This means:

Animal records, supply inventories, and task histories exist only on your phone or tablet unless you create a backup.
If you uninstall the App without backup, all your farm data will be permanently lost.
If your device is lost, stolen, damaged, or factory-reset, your data cannot be recovered without a backup.
You are responsible for manually backing up your data using the methods described below.

5. Voluntary Cloud Backup (Optional)

MifugoCare offers voluntary cloud backup as an optional convenience feature. You may choose to enable or disable this feature at any time within the App settings.

5.1 Platform-Specific Cloud Services

For iOS users (iPhone/iPad):Cloud backup uses Apple iCloud if you enable the feature. Backup occurs according to your iCloud storage limits and settings.
For Android users:Cloud backup uses the equivalent native backup service on your device (e.g., Google Drive, Google One, or system-level Android Backup). Availability depends on your device manufacturer and Android version.

5.2 User Responsibility for Cloud Backup

By enabling voluntary cloud backup, you acknowledge and agree that:

You are responsible for ensuring sufficient storage space in your iCloud, Google Drive, or equivalent account.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your cloud account (e.g., strong password, two-factor authentication).
Cloud backups may consume mobile data — we recommend using Wi-Fi.
You may disable cloud backup at any time, which will stop future backups but will not automatically delete previous backups stored in your personal cloud account.

5.3 Third-Party Cloud Disclaimer

MifugoCare does not operate, control, or host the iCloud, Google Drive, or other cloud platforms used for voluntary backup. We are not liable for:

Any failure, downtime, data corruption, or security breach of these third-party cloud services.
Unauthorized access to your cloud account due to your own security practices.
Data loss resulting from cloud synchronization errors, account suspension, or policy changes by Apple, Google, or other providers.

6. No Liability for Data Loss (Including Cloud Failures)

MifugoCare is not liable for any loss, corruption, or deletion of your animal records, supply inventories, task histories, or any other farm data under any circumstances, including but not limited to:

Failure to enable voluntary cloud backup
Running out of iCloud or Google Drive storage space
Third-party cloud service outages or data deletion
Accidental deletion by the user
Device malfunction, theft, or damage
Operating system updates that affect App functionality
Uninstalling the App before exporting data

You are strongly encouraged to:

Enable voluntary cloud backup if you wish to have off-device protection.
Regularly export your data using any manual export feature provided in the App.
Keep your own offline records (e.g., written logs or spreadsheets) for critical farm data.

7. Educational Use — Secondary Purpose

While the primary audience is dairy farmers, educational institutions (schools, agricultural colleges) may use MifugoCare for teaching purposes. However:

The same local-storage-first and voluntary cloud backup policies apply.
Teachers must instruct students on data backup and privacy practices.
Student data must comply with applicable child privacy laws.
Students tracking simulated animals (not real livestock) are still subject to these Terms.

8. No Veterinary Advice Disclaimer

MifugoCare is not a substitute for professional veterinary medicine. The animal tracking tools help you organize farm health records, but do not provide diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or medical advice.

Always consult a licensed veterinarian for any animal health concerns. Reliance on any information derived from the App’s analysis (e.g., milk trends or health event patterns) is at your own risk.

9. No Farm Management Guarantee

The task and supply tracking features are organizational tools only. MifugoCare does not guarantee:

Increased farm productivity or profitability
Accurate predictions of milk yield, breeding success, or animal health outcomes
That tasks will be completed on time (notifications depend on your device settings)

You remain fully responsible for all farm management decisions.

10. User Responsibilities

By using MifugoCare, you agree to:

Enter accurate and truthful records about your animals, supplies, and tasks.
Not use the App to impersonate a veterinarian, supplier, or farm inspector.
Maintain your own backups (via enabled cloud backup, device backups, or manual exports).
Ensure that any minor using the App does so under appropriate supervision.
Manage your own iCloud, Google Drive, or equivalent account for voluntary cloud backups.
Not use the App for any illegal, fraudulent, or harmful activities.

11. Intellectual Property

The MifugoCare App — including its code, design, logos, and built-in analytical algorithms — is our property or that of our licensors. You may not copy, reverse engineer, modify, or distribute the App.

You retain full ownership of the animal records, supply data, and task histories you enter. We claim no intellectual property rights over your farm data.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms, including but not limited to:

Using the App to commit fraud or misrepresentation.
Entering false or misleading animal records.
Attempting to reverse engineer or compromise the App.
Harassing or abusing other users or our support team.

Termination does not delete data from your device or your personal cloud account — you may continue to manage that data independently.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose (including dairy farming success), or error-free operation.
In no event shall MifugoCare, its owners, or affiliates be liable for:
- Loss of data (including all animal records, supply inventories, and task histories — whether stored locally or in your personal iCloud/Google Drive).
- Loss of livestock, milk production, profits, or business opportunities.
- Failure to complete tasks or manage supplies effectively.
- Any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App (if any). The App is currently provided free of charge, so liability is limited to USD/KES 0.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold MifugoCare harmless from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your failure to back up your farm data (whether via local device backups, cloud backups, or manual exports).

15. Privacy and Data Handling

MifugoCare does not collect, transmit, or store your farm data on our servers by default. All data remains on your device unless you enable voluntary cloud backup through Apple iCloud or Google Drive.

We may collect anonymous, non-personal usage data (such as app crash reports and basic usage statistics) to improve the App. This data does not identify you personally and is not linked to your farm records.

If you enable cloud backup, your data is stored in your personal cloud account subject to Apple’s or Google’s privacy policies. MifugoCare does not have access to your cloud account or its contents.

For full details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

16. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify you of material changes via an in-app notice or email (if you have provided one).

17. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya.

Any dispute shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Kenya, with each party bearing its own costs.
