Current marketplace terms.
FarmDeck is currently collecting demand, onboarding potential suppliers, and organizing equipment and farm-service matches. A form submission is not a purchase, booking, financing approval, insurance policy, or guarantee of a match.
Fees
Farmer access is free: browsing, requesting, comparing, and holding a farmer account carry no fee, and FarmDeck does not sell farmer data. Basic provider listings and inquiries are free. Optional founding membership ($399/year for the first 50 members) covers the customized page, promotion, labeled placement, matching and other deliverables listed in the written agreement; matched requests are included throughout membership, with no per-lead charges. Annual billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds require written provider terms.
The pricing page also describes planned seller-side marketplace success fees and equipment classified listing fees. These are not active. A marketplace success fee would apply only to completed, paid orders booked through FarmDeck under accepted seller terms, on the eligible subtotal after discounts and refunds, and within the per-order caps, tiers and minimum sale amounts shown on the pricing page. Separately stated tax, freight, delivery, refundable deposits, and pass-through materials on service jobs are excluded. Fully refunded or canceled orders have no FarmDeck success fee. Payment processing would be separately disclosed. A classified ad fee pays for publication whether or not the item sells, with no automatic renewal or sales commission. These seller fees would also apply to farmers choosing to sell through those products; farmer discovery and requests stay free. Directory introductions and independently settled deals are commission-free. No waitlist or inquiry enrolls anyone in paid billing.
Equipment access
Providers and users remain responsible for equipment condition, qualified operation, transport, training, scheduling, insurance, field suitability, safety, permits, maintenance, damage, and compliance. Those responsibilities must be defined in the final booking or service agreement.
Equipment for-sale listings
A listing is an advertisement placed by the seller. By listing, you confirm that you own the machine or are authorized to sell it and that the details and photos are accurate. FarmDeck reviews listings before publishing them and may decline, edit for formatting, or remove any listing. A published listing runs for 90 days; the first 100 listings are free, up to 5 per seller, and later listings will be priced as shown on the pricing page before you submit.
FarmDeck does not own, inspect, or guarantee listed equipment and is not a party to any sale. Buyers and sellers agree price, payment, inspection, title, transport, and liens between themselves. Buyer messages are relayed by email; a seller’s email address is not shown on the listing, and a phone number appears only if the seller chooses to show it.
Farm service profiles and requests
A provider name, map location, public-source profile, distance estimate, or matching score does not confirm current availability, licensing, insurance, price, service radius, or suitability for a particular job. Public profiles are labeled as unconfirmed until the provider claims or verifies them. Farmers and providers must confirm acreage, timing, materials, product labels, credentials, field conditions, price, and final service terms before work begins. A basic provider profile is free; any paid promotion or other commercial arrangement requires separate agreement.
Community sharing and ownership
Shared-access coordination follows the same fee rules: farmers and pooled member capital are never charged, and any supplier-side terms require a separate written agreement. Cooperative ownership, financing, securities, tax structure, asset entities, and member exit rights require separate written terms and independent legal, tax, lending, and insurance review.
Research and planning information
Trial data, calculators, cost sketches, and matching scores are planning aids. They are not agronomic, financial, legal, tax, insurance, or equipment- safety advice and should be verified for the specific field and transaction.
