StockLyft CSA Membership Agreement

A service of StockLyft, Inc. This is a Membership Agreement between Stocklyft, Inc., “Stocklyft” and you the subscriber or Member. Although this Membership Agreement outlines many of the terms with the farm you have selected, that farm may have additional terms and conditions. Be sure to check with your farm. As per your selection on our site, your farm will be Your Chosen Farm ( Referred to throughout this Agreement as “Member Farm”)

By completing the checkout process on our website and providing your consent below, you are agreeing to become a member of Stocklyft and your Member Farm for the growing season you selected when signing up for the service. This Agreement will allow for Members to receive fresh fruit and produce from their requisite Member Farms. Stocklyft shall provide the user interface for members to select their farm, their desired produce options and to cancel or re-schedule their regular delivery services.

Overview

Stocklyft Member Farms will provide vegetables, fruit, or other homegrown items from the Member Farm to all its Members during the current growing season. Members shall have the option of providing Stocklyft with regular feedback regarding the type of items they wish to receive each week. Each box will vary in the amount and type of produce as it is dependent upon the harvest of the week and the Member’s preferences. The weekly availability of vegetables and fruit will vary due to the climate, Member Farm’s selections, biology, and other unpredictable variables. Stocklyft and Stocklyft, Inc. cannot promise the delivery of any certain item on any specific date.

Payment

Members agree to pay on the schedule determined at sign up. You understand that unless your initial payments are paid in full and you continue your scheduled payments thereafter, you will not be a member and will not receive produce.

Refunds and Cancellations

We do not offer refunds other than the allotted cancellation policy described below. Our service is about commitment to a local farmer and our commitment to you. If you have made a purchase and no longer wish to receive certain items, you may provide feedback through the website to update your preferences.

If you wish to cancel a particular pickup or delivery you may do so three (3) times per calendar year with 48 hours advance notice prior to your regularly scheduled box delivery and a credit will be added to your account. Additionally, Members may move their scheduled deliveries to alternative weeks when deliveries are not scheduled, provided the selected dates are available in the Stocklyft system, and such changes will not count against their allotted yearly cancellations. No credits or refunds shall be provided for any additional cancellations unless otherwise permitted by Stocklyft.

Pickup or Delivery

Investments are made directly to Farmers. Farm seasons or projects available for funding are submitted by Farmers and approved by Stocklyft before they are posted to the Platform. Funds invested by you, the Funder, will be transferred directly to the account of the Farmers you have chosen to support. Stocklyft serves as a middle-man in the process and aggregates funds from multiple Funders via the Platform and delivers these funds to the Farmers.

Pickup or Delivery

You are responsible for observing all pick-up site rules that may be issued by the pick-up site in addition to the following rules:
