Last updated: 2026-07-01 Effective date: 2026-07-01
1. Introduction
Welcome to COWnting, a mobile and web application owned and operated by GRUFO 53 SAS, based in Córdoba, Argentina ("we", "our", or "us").
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the COWnting application (the "App"), including all features such as livestock inventory management, AI-assisted animal counting, and the conversational assistant ("VaquiAna").
By accessing or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. The App is a professional tool intended for agricultural producers and their teams, and is not directed to minors.
3. Accounts and Organizations
To use the App you must create an account. You may create or join an organization, and you may be assigned a role (owner, admin, operator, or viewer) that determines your permissions.
You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
- Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
If you invite others to your organization or share data within it, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to do so. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes. You must not:
- Use the App for illegal or unauthorized activities
- Interfere with, disrupt, or overload the App or its infrastructure
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems, accounts, or data
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or copy any part of the App, except as permitted by law
- Upload content that is unlawful, infringing, or that you have no right to share
- Misuse the AI assistant to generate unlawful, harmful, or abusive content
5. Device Permissions
The App may request access to your device's location, camera, microphone, photo library, and notifications. These permissions are used solely to enable App features, are optional, and can be managed in your device settings at any time. See the Privacy Policy for details on how related data is processed.
6. Your Content and Data
You retain ownership of the content and operational data you create or upload ("Your Content"), including farm records, images, and videos.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the App to you and your organization, including processing media for animal counting and processing your messages through our AI provider to operate the assistant. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to standard backup cycles and legal retention requirements.
You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have the rights and lawful basis to provide it, including any personal data of third parties (e.g., veterinarians, contractors) you enter.
7. Artificial Intelligence Features
The App provides AI-based animal counting and an AI conversational assistant ("VaquiAna").
- AI features are provided as decision-support tools and may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected results. Animal counts and assistant outputs are estimates and must not be relied upon as definitive without your own verification.
- You are responsible for reviewing AI outputs before acting on them, especially for commercial, financial, regulatory, or sanitary decisions.
- To operate the assistant, your messages and relevant context are processed by a third-party AI provider as described in the Privacy Policy.
We make no warranty as to the accuracy of any AI-generated count, figure, or recommendation.
8. Third-Party Services
The App relies on third-party providers (including cloud backend and storage, an AI model provider, a cloud computer-vision provider, push-notification delivery, and maps/imagery services) to function. We are not responsible for the availability, performance, or policies of third-party services. Your use of features that depend on them is also subject to those providers' terms. The specific providers we use may change over time; the categories of providers and how they process data are described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Plans and Feature Access
COWnting may offer different levels of access to features (for example, the AI assistant, usage limits, or expanded capabilities). Each organization's access is configured administratively; the App does not include in-app purchases in this version.
- If you need to enable or expand features for your organization, contact a COWnting administrator or reach us through the support channels listed in the App or on our website
- We may offer paid plans exclusively for organizations (for example, farms, cooperatives, or work teams). Those arrangements are handled outside the App, sold directly by COWnting to organizations, under commercial agreements applicable to each organization; members invited to an organization do not purchase plans on their own within the App
- Available features and usage limits may change; we will give reasonable notice of material changes
- Use of certain AI features may be subject to limits based on your organization's configuration
10. Communications
By using the App, you agree that we may send you service-related communications (account, security, invitations, policy updates, and push notifications you enable). Marketing communications, if any, require your consent and you may opt out at any time.
11. Data Protection
Your personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. We encourage you to read it.
12. Intellectual Property
The App, including its software, design, trademarks, and content (excluding Your Content), is owned by GRUFO 53 SAS or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in our intellectual property except the limited right to use the App as permitted here.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if necessary to protect the service or other users. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy for deletion). Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) will survive.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or that any count, figure, or AI output will be accurate or fit for a particular purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GRUFO 53 SAS shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, livestock, or business, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App, including reliance on any AI-generated output. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GRUFO 53 SAS from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the App, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for significant changes, notify users in-app or by email. Continued use of the App after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Argentine Republic, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be submitted to the competent ordinary courts of the City of Córdoba, Province of Córdoba, Argentina, unless mandatory consumer-protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your place of residence.
