You are an independent seller or poster, not an employee or agent of 2 SILOS. Post only truthful, lawful listings that you have the right to post. We review registrations and listings, may remove anything that breaks these rules, and can offer help resolving conflicts, but the deal itself is between you and the other person. We do not guarantee any transaction.
1. Scope and relationship
These Seller Terms and Farm Help Rules apply to anyone who registers as a seller, posts or edits a listing, responds to a listing, or posts a job or availability on the 2 SILOS Farm Marketplace or Farm Help. They are part of our Terms of Use and are read together with our Privacy Policy.
You are an independent person or business. Nothing here makes you an employee, partner, agent or franchisee of 2 SILOS. 2 SILOS provides a venue and is not a party to the sale, hire or service arrangement made between users.
2. Eligibility and registration
- You must be at least 18, have authority to act for your farm or business, and give accurate information.
- New seller accounts are reviewed before listings are published. We may approve, decline or revoke an account at our discretion, including for incomplete information or past violations.
- Keep your contact details current, protect your password, and tell us promptly about suspected account misuse.
- You are responsible for everything done under your account.
3. What you may list on the Marketplace
- Farm and ranch equipment and machinery, tools, trailers and fencing;
- livestock and animals you own and have the legal right to sell;
- hay, feed, seed and agricultural supplies and materials;
- land and property listings, such as pasture, farmland and rentals, if you have authority to list them;
- agricultural services, such as hauling, custom work and equipment operation.
Consumer food products are not listed on the Marketplace. Food for consumers is sold through the 2 SILOS Farmstand. If you would like to be considered as a trusted local producer for the Farmstand, contact help@2silos.farm.
4. What you may not list or do
- Anything illegal, stolen, counterfeit or that you do not have the right to sell, or that infringes someone's rights;
- firearms, ammunition and explosives; controlled substances and drug paraphernalia; and restricted or recalled products;
- prepared or packaged food for consumers, meat or egg sales, or other items that need food licenses, unless we have agreed in writing;
- sick, quarantined or improperly documented animals, or animals sold in violation of animal health, identification, movement or welfare laws;
- protected or endangered species or products from them;
- listings that are misleading, bait-and-switch, duplicated, or that direct buyers to pay or deal outside lawful channels in a way meant to evade the rules;
- collecting fees from job seekers, or posting hidden or fraudulent offers;
- discriminatory, harassing, threatening or hateful content;
- contacting users to spam them, scraping contact details, or using information from the Site for purposes other than the listing it relates to.
5. Listing accuracy and your legal duties
- Describe what you list truthfully and completely, including condition, defects, age, breed, health and any known problems. Use your own photos that show the actual item or animal.
- You are responsible for all licenses, permits, registrations, health papers, brand or identification requirements, taxes, insurance and legal compliance that apply to what you sell, rent or offer, including Wisconsin and federal requirements for livestock and agricultural products.
- Do not list items you do not currently have the right to sell. Remove or mark a listing sold promptly.
- You set your own prices, delivery, pickup and return terms, and you must state them clearly in your listing.
6. Fees and payments
As of the effective date, 2 SILOS does not charge Marketplace or Farm Help fees. If we introduce fees or integrated payments, we will tell you in advance, describe them clearly, and apply them only after you have accepted updated terms. Until an integrated payment feature is announced, payment and delivery between buyer and seller are arranged directly between them, and 2 SILOS does not hold or guarantee funds. Sellers are responsible for collecting and paying any sales, use or income taxes that apply to their transactions.
7. Review, moderation and removal
We may review, edit for format, decline, hide or remove any listing, message or account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe it breaks these rules or the law, creates risk for others, or is outside the purpose of the Site. We may also suspend an account while we investigate. Repeated or serious violations can lead to permanent removal. A listing being published is not an endorsement or a verification by 2 SILOS.
8. Dealing with other users
- Meet and transact safely: inspect items in person where possible, confirm ownership and paperwork, and use written agreements for significant deals.
- Respond to inquiries honestly and in a timely way. Share personal information only to the extent needed.
- Do not use the Site to arrange anything that would breach these rules or the law.
9. Disputes and conflict resolution
If a problem comes up between users, try to resolve it directly first. If that does not work, either side may open a case through Support & Disputes and provide the listing, messages and what outcome they are seeking.
In a case, 2 SILOS may ask both sides for information, suggest a resolution, and take action on listings or accounts. Our involvement is optional and informal. We are not a court or arbitrator, our suggestions are not binding unless the people involved agree, and we do not guarantee any particular result. We cannot force payment, return of goods or performance. Users keep all rights to pursue other remedies under the law.
10. Farm Help rules
These additional rules apply to job and availability postings on Farm Help.
- Employers and hiring farms. Post only real openings. State the duties, location, pay or pay range, schedule and whether housing, meals or equipment are included. Pay at least the legally required minimum and overtime where applicable, and follow all wage, hour, safety, workers' compensation, insurance, immigration and child-labor laws. Do not discriminate on the basis of any protected characteristic, and do not ask applicants to pay to apply.
- Workers and service providers. Describe your skills, experience and licenses truthfully. If you offer equipment operation, custom work or other services, you are responsible for any required licenses, certifications, insurance and safe operation.
- Minors. Do not post openings for, or advertise the availability of, minors in a way that violates child-labor law. Farm-help postings and responses are intended for adults 18 and over.
- Privacy. Workers should not post home addresses, government ID numbers or other sensitive information. Use the listing's contact method.
- No guarantee. 2 SILOS is not an employer, joint employer, labor contractor or staffing agency and does not screen, vet, insure or run background checks on any person. Hiring, pay, safety and supervision are between the people involved, and each is responsible for its own compliance.
11. Responsibility and indemnity
You are solely responsible for your listings, your statements and your dealings. To the fullest extent permitted by law, 2 SILOS is not liable for transactions or arrangements between users, for losses from inaccurate listings, or for harm arising from items, animals, services, work or workplaces. You agree to defend and indemnify 2 SILOS against third-party claims and reasonable costs arising from your listings, your transactions, your breach of these rules or your violation of law, except to the extent caused by our own wrongful conduct. The limits in our Terms of Use also apply.
12. Content license
You keep ownership of what you post. You give 2 SILOS a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display and promote your listings and photos on and in connection with the Site, and you confirm that you have the right to do so.
13. Ending your account
You may close your seller account at any time by emailing help@2silos.farm. We may end or suspend your access under section 7. Ending an account does not cancel obligations you have already taken on toward another user.
14. Reporting a concern
To report a listing, user or safety concern, use Support & Disputes or email help@2silos.farm with a link to the listing and a short description. For emergencies, contact local emergency services.
15. Changes
We may update these rules. We will change the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify registered sellers. Continuing to use the Marketplace or Farm Help after a change means you accept it.
