These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of landdeduction.com (the "Site") and any estimates, content, and services offered by Land Deduction ("Land Deduction," "we," "us," or "our"). Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using the Site, submitting a form, or requesting an estimate, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. What we do (and don't do)

Land Deduction provides soil-sampling, residual soil-fertility valuation, and documentation services intended to help farmland owners and their tax professionals evaluate and support a potential deduction under Internal Revenue Code Section 180. We measure, value, and document; we do not file tax returns, determine your eligibility, or decide what you may claim. Those determinations are made by you and your own tax professional.

3. No tax, legal, or accounting advice

Land Deduction does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice, and nothing on the Site or in our materials is such advice. Section 180 is a complex area of tax law, and eligibility and deductible amounts depend on your specific facts as determined by a qualified tax professional. You should consult your own CPA, tax advisor, or attorney before claiming any deduction. We are not your accountant or attorney, and using the Site does not create any such relationship.

4. Estimates are illustrative

Any estimate, calculator output, worked example, or figure presented on the Site is illustrative only, is not a guarantee of any deduction or tax savings, and is not a promise of results. Estimates are based on general assumptions and the limited information you provide, not on laboratory soil analysis of your land. Actual results depend on lab-measured fertility, your purchase facts, your tax situation, and your tax professional's determination. Testimonials or examples shown may be illustrative and may not reflect actual client results.

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Site and our services. By using the Site, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

6. Communications consent

By submitting our form and checking the consent box, you agree that Land Deduction and its agents may contact you at the email address and phone number you provide (including by automated telephone dialing systems, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, and text (SMS/MMS) messages) regarding your estimate and our services. Consent is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to opt out of texts and HELP for help, unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time, and request to be added to our internal Do-Not-Call list. See our Privacy Policy for details.

7. Fees and engagement

Estimates and initial reviews described on the Site are provided free of charge. Any paid study or service is governed by a separate written engagement agreement that will set out the scope, fees, and terms. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement controls for that engagement. Fees quoted on the Site (for example, per-acre pricing) are estimates and are confirmed in your engagement agreement.

8. Intellectual property

The Site and its content (including text, graphics, logos, the Land Deduction name and marks, and our methodology and report formats) are owned by or licensed to Land Deduction and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written permission, except that reports we prepare for you may be used for your own tax and business purposes, including sharing them with your tax professional.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site, including by: submitting false or another person's information; attempting to gain unauthorized access; interfering with the Site's operation; scraping or harvesting data; or using the Site for any unlawful purpose.

10. Third-party links and resources

The Site links to independent third-party resources for informational purposes. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and links do not imply affiliation or endorsement.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, ESTIMATES, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ESTIMATE OR RESULT WILL BE ACCURATE OR ACHIEVED.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAND DEDUCTION AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, TAX BENEFITS, PENALTIES, OR INTEREST, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ANY ESTIMATE OR CONTENT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED $100 OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Land Deduction and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Iowa will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new "Last updated" date, and your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
