Additional Terms and Conditions of Use - Search AgriBase Website

In addition to the General Terms and Conditions above, the following Terms and Conditions also apply to the SearchAgriBase website:

The Customer may access The Website to determine the AgriBase® Farm Identification Numbers (AgriBase® Farm_IDs) of rural properties, in order to store AgriBase® Farm_IDs in The Customer’s database(s) for future reference. AsureQuality does not grant permission to The Customer to store any element of The Data other than AgriBase® Farm_Ids, unless such permissions are specifically permitted under a current SearchAgriBase Licence Agreement.

The Data within The Website may not be used for correspondence with or for directly contacting landowners/occupiers/farmers, unless reasons for contact are specifically permitted under a current SearchAgriBase Licence Agreement.

You acknowledge that with frequent changing of farm/land ownership and lease arrangements it is not possible to have all AgriBase® records current and accurate. The Data has been collected directly from farmers through voluntary registrations, mostly within the past three years.  AsureQuality cannot guarantee breadth of coverage of registrations due to the voluntary nature of AgriBase® registrations. Recent changes may not be included, and there may be some other errors, duplications or omissions in the Data. AsureQuality therefore gives no assurances whatsoever as to the completeness, correctness, currency or fitness for any purpose of the information contained within this site.
