Legal agreement governing the use of HUMATIC mobile applications, cloud platform, and connected hardware ecosystem • Effective version: 2.1 (September 2026)
Preamble & Binding Agreement
Welcome to the HUMATIC Smart Agriculture Ecosystem. This Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (collectively referred to as the "Agreement") constitutes a legally binding agreement between You ("User", "Customer") and Humatic Company Limited ("HUMATIC", "We", "Us"). This Agreement governs the mutual rights and obligations when you install, access, and operate the HUMATIC mobile application (iOS, Android), the cloud dashboard at https://humatic.vn, and connected intelligent IoT hardware controllers and sensor modules.
By clicking accept, installing the application, or registering an account, You acknowledge that you have thoroughly read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by all terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Terms of Service & System Operation
1. End User License Grant
HUMATIC grants the User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and execute the HUMATIC mobile application on compatible mobile hardware legally owned or controlled by you, solely for monitoring and agricultural automation management.
The User expressly agrees not to: (i) Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble application binaries; (ii) Sublicense, lease, distribute, or commercially exploit the software without written authorization; (iii) Interfere with, bypass, or overburden HUMATIC’s cloud servers and API infrastructure.
2. User Accounts & Credential Security
To monitor and control physical IoT hardware remotely, the User must register and authenticate an account using valid credentials. The User is responsible for:
- Ensuring the veracity and timeliness of registration details and updating them whenever modifications occur.
- Safeguarding login passwords and authentication tokens. The User assumes full legal accountability for all equipment commands (pumps, solenoid valves, nutrient dosers) issued through their account.
- Promptly notifying HUMATIC technical support upon detecting or suspecting any unauthorized account intrusion.
3. Hardware Operational Safety Standards
As the software interfaces with physical electrical equipment and fluid systems (irrigation pumps, solenoid valves, EC/pH automated dosing units), the User agrees to adhere to the following safety rules:
- Ensure all electrical installations powering controllers and actuators are equipped with standard safety breakers, proper grounding, and thermal overload protection.
- Thoroughly verify scheduled automation routines and threshold conditions before enabling unmanned autonomous operations.
- Refrain from deploying the platform in high-risk life-critical applications or environments outside HUMATIC’s technical specifications.
4. Limitation of Liability & Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, cloud services and software are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. HUMATIC shall not be held liable for indirect damages, crop losses, or economic detriments resulting from:
- Grid power failures, local internet disconnection, or telecommunication outages at the farm installation.
- Mechanical plumbing ruptures, valve blockages caused by sediment, or malfunctions in third-party actuators.
- Metric inaccuracies arising from neglected sensor cleaning or failure to perform periodic calibration.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
All intellectual property rights pertaining to the software, source code, hardware circuit designs, agronomic control algorithms, visual interfaces, and the "HUMATIC" trademark remain the exclusive property of Humatic Company Limited. Any unauthorized reproduction or commercial exploitation is strictly prohibited.
Privacy & Personal Data Protection Policy
6. Data Collection & Processing Purposes
In compliance with applicable data protection regulations, we collect and process only the minimal data necessary to deliver and maintain our services:
a) Account Credentials:
Name, email address, and phone number utilized solely for user identification, session authentication, and direct technical support.
b) Telemetry & Environmental Metrics:
Nutrient electrical conductivity (EC), water/soil pH, ambient temperature, humidity, solar radiation, water flow rate, and actuator telemetry. This operational data belongs to the User for crop yield analysis.
c) Hardware Telemetry Identifiers:
Device Serial Number, MAC address, and firmware versions used to authenticate secure MQTT sessions and execute Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware patches.
7. Mobile Device Hardware Permissions
The mobile application requests device hardware permissions only when the User explicitly initiates the corresponding feature, with no background tracking or unauthorized data extraction:
photo_cameraCamera Access
Used solely to scan device identification QR codes printed on hardware units or shared farm access invitations. Does not capture or store personal photographs.
bluetoothBluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Used to discover and establish short-range wireless communication with unconfigured controllers to transmit local Wi-Fi network credentials.
location_onLocation Services
Mandated by Android OS specifications to perform nearby Bluetooth scans, and utilized to display farm plot coordinates upon user preference.
notificationsPush Notifications
Delivers real-time emergency push alerts regarding equipment faults, power loss, or critical sensor anomalies. Users may adjust alert preferences at any time.
8. Security Architecture & Data Commitments
HUMATIC maintains stringent technical and organizational safeguards to ensure comprehensive data protection:
- In-Transit Cryptography: 100% of data traffic across mobile apps, cloud backends, and microcontrollers is secured via HTTPS/TLS 1.3 and encrypted MQTTS.
- Password Hashing: Passwords are encrypted using robust salted one-way hashing algorithms; raw credentials are never stored or accessible.
- Zero Third-Party Commercial Exploitation: HUMATIC unconditionally guarantees that user information and agricultural metrics are never sold, rented, or monetized to third-party ad networks or data brokers.
