The Website and all content, materials, and information available through it are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any representation, warranty, or guarantee of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Brazilian law, Base Rural expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement;

Always consult a qualified specialist before making decisions based on information obtained from this Website.

To the maximum extent permitted under Brazilian law — in particular the provisions of the Brazilian Civil Code (Law No. 10,406/2002) and the Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/1990) where applicable — Base Rural, its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with:

• Your access to, use of, or inability to access or use the Website or any content therein;

Where liability cannot be entirely excluded by law, Base Rural's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms shall not exceed the amount of R$ 500.00 (five hundred Brazilian Reais), regardless of the nature of the claim or the form of action.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Base Rural Soluções Agrícolas Ltda and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

Base Rural reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In such cases, you agree to cooperate fully with Base Rural's defence of that claim. You shall not settle any such claim without our prior written consent.

These Terms of Use, and any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with them — including questions regarding their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination — shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district where Base Rural Soluções Agrícolas Ltda maintains its principal registered office in Brazil. Each party waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in such courts, and waives any claim that any such proceeding brought in such courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall prevent Base Rural from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief in any competent court in any jurisdiction where necessary to protect its intellectual property rights or other proprietary interests.

Base Rural reserves the right to review, revise, and update these Terms at any time and at its sole discretion. Changes may be necessary to reflect updates to our services, legal and regulatory developments, operational adjustments, or feedback received from users and legal counsel.
