FD Finder – General Terms and Conditions (Terms and Conditions)

Version: 3.6 Effective from: 3 November 2026 Last amended: 3 November 2026

In brief. FD Finder supports the control measures against grapevine flavescence dorée (FD). You record images and data about vines, the community and experts assess them, and we also use the data for research and for the development of artificial intelligence (AI). We also provide professional knowledge and tools. Reviewers and labellers do not see your identity or the exact location of the vine. Bear two things in mind: the assessment is not a diagnosis, and the Service does not replace the official notification.

1. The document and the definitions

1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (the Terms) are the conditions of the FD Finder service (the Service) of DrinkCycle Development Kft. (the Operator, ‘we’), on every interface: in the web application (https://www.fdfinder.org), in the Android application (Section 6.8) and on future interfaces (for example on a vehicle-mounted camera).

1.2. The Terms apply to every natural person who creates an account, records Content, reviews or labels (the User, ‘you’). They apply accordingly to the parts that can be used without an account (for example the simulator, forms).

1.3. The Privacy Notice is part of the Terms. Both can be downloaded: https://www.fdfinder.org/terms and https://www.fdfinder.org/privacy.

1.4. The language of the contract is Hungarian. It is not concluded in writing, and we do not file it; we log the acceptances (Section 6.6). The text in force can always be downloaded and saved.

1.5. Definitions.

• Content: everything that you upload or record in any manner: image, video, other sensor data, note, location, observation, vineyard, farming and laboratory data.
• Submission: a few photographs of a vine, for community review (Section 3.1). Survey: the professional recording by Surveyors about identified vines (Section 3.4). Quick capture: a few photographs and some data about a vine, for research, without review (Section 3.5).
• Review: another user’s decision about a submission: ‘Suspicious’ or ‘Not suspicious’. Reviewer flag: may be given instead of a review if it cannot be decided from the images, or if another problem is visible.
• Surveyor: a person whom we have individually authorised to carry out surveys. Labeller: a reviewer who has passed the exam and whom we authorise to mark the symptoms on the images of quick captures and surveys.
• Image layers: the ‘A’ raw original (with metadata, including the location), the ‘B’ and ‘C’ display images without metadata, and the ‘D’ research master: the raw original at full resolution, without metadata (Section 3.2 of the Privacy Notice).

2. The Operator (legal notice)

The data under Section 4 of the Ekertv.:

Hosting providers: for the web application, Vercel Inc. (Covina, California, United States of America); for the database and file storage, SUPABASE PTE. LTD. (65 Chulia Street #38-02/03, OCBC Centre, Singapore 049513; the primary database is in Frankfurt).

Digital Services Coordinator in Hungary: the President of the Nemzeti Média- és Hírközlési Hatóság (Act CIV of 2023).

3. What the Service provides – and what it does not

3.1. The main functions

• Recording Content. We take the location from the device’s location measurement, from the photograph’s data or from the settlement you enter. We determine the settlement and the wine region from it ourselves; the location is not passed to anyone for this. You may also write into private fields, so that you can find your way back to the vine.
• Community review. Anyone who has completed the training and the exam may review. Another user sees only what is needed for his or her task; not your identity, the exact location or the exact time (Section 3.1 of the Privacy Notice). After at least three reviews, you see a combined result. Until a review has been received, you may delete the submission; after that, you may withdraw it.
• Survey, quick capture, labelling (Sections 3.4 to 3.5).
• Vineyard and farming records: the data and condition of the vineyard, treatments, trap catches.
• Laboratory testing (Section 3.6).
• Research and AI development (Sections 4.5 and 11).
• Knowledge and tools: a professional knowledge base and AI answers (Section 3.7), a risk index and your own estimate, an educational simulator, popular-science compilations; some of them also without an account.

3.2. The assessment is not an expert opinion

The review, the flag, the label, the AI estimate and the AI answer, as well as the knowledge and tools under Section 3.1, are not a diagnosis, not a laboratory result, not an official finding, not legal and not professional advice, and they may be wrong. On their own they are not suitable for an economic decision (for example grubbing up); they show only whether it is worth looking at the vine. If you see an abnormality, consult a specialist, and make the notification under Section 10.

3.3. Development status

The Service is continuously developing; certain functions may be in testing. We do not guarantee availability or error-free operation. This does not affect your consumer warranty rights (Government Decree 373/2021). Certain functions start gradually, not on every interface at the same time; as long as a function is not available, the provisions relating to it do not apply. If a function described here starts later, that is not an amendment: it requires no new acceptance and no notification.

3.4. Survey module

The survey is professional recording for individually authorised Surveyors. You may apply by accepting the Surveyor Briefing and recording a trial survey. You have no claim to the authorisation; it can be revoked at any time, and the Surveyor may also request this. We keep the rejected trial survey separately, for educational and quality-assurance purposes; its deletion may be requested.

The survey does not go to community review; its images may be seen by the labellers, without name and exact location (Section 3.1). The row and vine number of the vine are also seen by the other Surveyors, so that they can find the vine. Surveyors take part as private individuals, voluntarily; a survey is not the performance of work and not a mandate.

3.5. Quick capture

Every User may use it: you record the photographs requested by the interface and some data about a vine. The vine is identified by a code; the system gives it, or you enter it. The location is required. Before it, you must acknowledge a short briefing. The recording does not go to review; others see the images only as labellers (Section 3.1). If you breach Sections 7 to 9, we may suspend the function.

3.6. Laboratory testing and laboratory result

The laboratory result may be recorded by the Surveyor, the laboratory, the authority or our staff member, in the interface or through a data connection. It is seen by the person who recorded it, by the keeper of the vine (the person who manages the vineyard in his or her account) and by the person who ordered the testing; no other user. For their training, the reviewers and labellers learn, in aggregated form and with a delay, in what proportion the laboratory confirmed their assessments (for example monthly); they receive a per-image breakdown only at the end of the season, without the vine, the location and the persons. You may order laboratory testing for your own vines, or for vines that you manage with authorisation; this is paid, and you accept its conditions when ordering (Section 27).

3.7. Professional knowledge base (FD Finder Expert)

We provide the knowledge base by level: the basic level after you complete a short form, the further levels on the basis of an application or of a separate agreement, respectively. You accept the short terms of each level before the download or the application; these are part of the Terms. You receive the knowledge base for your own professional use: you may not make it public and may not pass it on. We may terminate access if you breach the terms.

The AI answer is produced from the knowledge base. The text of the question is processed by an AI provider (Section 8 of the Privacy Notice); do not include personal data in it. We may restrict or suspend use.

4. Free of charge, but you give data in return

4.1. We do not ask for money for the Service, with the exception of a separately ordered paid service (Section 27).

4.2. You, however, give personal data (account data, Content, assessments), and we also use these for research and for AI development.

4.3. Therefore, as a consumer, Government Decree 373/2021 (VI. 30.) and Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.) apply to you in full; we do not derogate from them to your detriment.

4.4. A consumer is a natural person acting outside the scope of his or her trade and business activity; the consumer rules do not apply to a person acting in the course of his or her farming.

4.5. Research and AI development are the fundamental purpose of the Service. From the data, a research dataset is built, on which we develop AI models and pre-screening systems (for example a vehicle-mounted camera), also jointly with partners. We may also hand over the pseudonymised dataset (without name and contact details, but not anonymous) and the model to a partner, on the basis of a written agreement, free of charge or for consideration (Sections 11.4 to 11.5). You accept this with a separate checkbox (Section 6.2(b)); the clause applies to all of your later Content. We always comply with an objection to processing for research purposes (Section 11.7).

5. Account, age limit of 18

5.1. An account is required for use: an email address, a password and the confirmation of the email address.

5.2. The Service may be used only by a person who has attained the age of 18. You declare this by accepting the Terms. We do not ask for an identity document; we terminate the account of a person under the age of 18.

5.3. The account is personal. Keep your sign-in details secret; if you suspect unauthorised access, tell us and change your password.

5.4. A person may have one account. It is prohibited to influence the review with several accounts.

5.5. Sign-in: only a cookie or token that is necessary for operation (Section 12 of the Privacy Notice).

6. Formation of the contract

6.1. Why separately? You accept the research clause separately, because it differs from what is customary; you give the licence for the photographs separately for each item of Content.

6.2. Registration. The form can be corrected before it is sent. The contract is formed upon confirmation of the email address; we confirm this by email, and we attach the accepted documents to the email. You make declarations with three separate checkboxes that are not pre-ticked:

• (a) you accept the Terms – part of this is that you have attained the age of 18, and that you request the immediate commencement of performance (Section 6.4);
• (b) you separately accept the clause on use for research and AI development purposes (Section 11); this is a contractual term, not consent under data protection law (Section 7.2 of the Privacy Notice);
• (c) you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Notice.

We separately highlight your right to object. We ask for renewed express acceptance under Section 15.4(b) and Section 15.5.

6.3. The licence arises for each item of Content. The short sentence above the finalise button is about your entitlement and the use. The waiver of remuneration is not in this sentence, but in the declaration under ‘Details’ (Section 11.6), which you make by finalising. Before finalisation, every field can be corrected. You may supply omitted data within the period indicated in the interface; we store the supplement separately, with its date, and the data recorded on site do not change (Section 11.2). We record the licence, the version of the documents and the time.

6.4. Immediate start, right of withdrawal. As a consumer, you are entitled to a 14-day right of withdrawal (Section 20 of Government Decree 45/2014). At your request, we start the Service immediately; this does not affect your right of withdrawal. Next to the checkbox, the following text appears (Section 6.2(a)): ‘I accept the General Terms and Conditions.’ The declaration, readable under ‘Details’, which you make by accepting:

‘By accepting the General Terms and Conditions, I declare that I am over 18 years of age, and I request that the service start immediately upon registration. My 14-day right of withdrawal remains unaffected by this (Sections 5.2 and 6.4 of the General Terms and Conditions), that is, I may withdraw from the contract without giving reasons and free of charge; withdrawal entails the deletion of my account and cannot be reversed. The General Terms and Conditions describe the rules of use, moderation and the review process, and also that I may only submit photographs of a vineyard to which I am entitled.’

Withdrawal is possible within 14 days of registration, free of charge: by email to info@fdfinder.org (you may also use the model form under Annex 2 to the Decree), or with the withdrawal button on the My account page. In that case we close the account immediately and carry out full deletion (Section 13.3 of the Privacy Notice).

6.5. Pre-contractual information: the service provider in Section 2, the Service in Section 3, the consideration in Section 4, withdrawal in Section 6.4, functionality in Sections 6.7 to 6.8, termination in Section 16, complaints in Section 18.

6.6. Proof. We log every acceptance: identifier, time, the version of the document and its hash. In this way the written form of the licence is satisfied electronically (Section 45(1) of the Szjt.). In the case of a minor amendment, we record the notification and the further use.

6.7. Functionality. An internet connection, a modern browser and, for taking photographs, a camera are required. Location detection is not a condition: the location can also be given by settlement. There is no copy protection (DRM).

6.8. The Android application.

• (a) It is for everyone who has an account; recording is possible with the same authorisation as on the web, but only with the device’s own camera. It requires the Android version indicated on Google Play; the Google Play terms also apply to it.
• (b) Permissions: those that the phone asks for, for example camera, location, internet. It measures the location only during recording, never in the background; a settlement may be entered instead. The raw image contains the location at the time of recording, even if you change the location later.
• (c) Upload: when you start it, or by itself after saving, when the connection set in your settings is available; until then you may delete the recording. It shows the declaration under Section 11.6 before upload or before saving, respectively; the licence arises upon upload, under the Terms in force at that time. The cost of mobile data may fall on you.
• (d) Legal acceptance: uploading is possible only with a valid acceptance (for a quick capture, also with the acknowledgement of the briefing); until then, the recording remains on the device. If a new version requiring express acceptance enters into force in the meantime, you must also accept it before uploading.
• (e) Local archive: the app also stores every recording on the device, with the raw images and the location, without encryption; this remains even after the app and the account have been deleted, and only you can delete it (Section 5.9 of the Privacy Notice). You take care of its protection.

7. Use as intended

You may use it only in good faith, for your own observation. You may upload only real Content made by you; not an image downloaded, received from someone else or generated with AI. Automated use, circumventing the protections, obstructing the operation and any attempt to identify another user are prohibited.

8. Prohibited content

It is prohibited to upload Content which: 8.1. shows the recognisable face or likeness of another person; 8.2. shows a number plate, an inscription or another identifier from which a person or a company can be identified; 8.3. contains a name, contact details or other identifying data, including your own; 8.4. is aimed at manipulating the review; 8.5. injures the good reputation of another, for example by asserting the infection of a specific producer; 8.6. is unlawful, offensive, incites hatred or infringes copyright; 8.7. is advertising or political content; 8.8. carries malicious code or a malicious link.

You are responsible for these; we may remove such Content (Section 13). On the recordings of the vehicle-mounted camera, we mask accidentally recorded faces and number plates by machine means, or delete the image.

9. You may only record Content about a vineyard to which you are entitled

9.1. The condition. You may record Content only about a vineyard (a) which you possess or cultivate; or (b) which the land user or the owner has expressly authorised you to record; or (c) for which you have an entitlement based on legislation or on an official mandate.

9.2. Why? ‘Suspicious’ data recorded about another person’s vineyard may cause damage to him or her, and liability for you.

9.3. Declaration. With every item of Content, you declare that you have the entitlement. If you do not, do not record; notify the land user and, in the event of suspicion, make a notification (Section 10).

9.4. Land user complaint. If a land user indicates that Content recorded without his or her consent affects his or her land, we hide it immediately, investigate it and, where well-founded, delete it. Writing to info@fdfinder.org is possible even without an account.

9.5. Indemnification. If, as a result of a breach of Section 9.1 attributable to you, a third party asserts a legitimate claim against us, you reimburse our substantiated damage and reasonable costs, except for what we caused culpably.

9.6. Surveyor. On another person’s land, the Surveyor acts with the farmer’s knowledge; in the event of a survey without entitlement, we may immediately revoke the authorisation.

9.7. All Content. Section 9 applies to every method of recording, including the vehicle-mounted camera; at the end of the row, do not record other areas. In the event of recording without entitlement, we may suspend the function and terminate (Section 16.3).

10. Plant health: the Service is NOT an official notification

10.1. Your duty to notify remains. The producer and the land user must destroy the quarantine pest and must notify any suspicion of it without delay to the food chain supervisory authority (Section 17(1) of the Éltv.; Articles 14 and 15 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031).

10.2. FD is a notifiable quarantine pest; the measures to be taken are determined by the authority and by legislation.

10.3. What you need to know:

• The Content, including the laboratory result, is not an official notification, and it does not extend the deadline either. We do not automatically forward a suspicion signal not confirmed by the authority.
• A ‘not suspicious’ result and the ‘another disease’ flag do not rule out FD.
• Where to notify: the plant and soil protection department of the county government office, or NÉBIH (freephone number: 06-80/263-244; email: ugyfelszolgalat@nebih.gov.hu; information and notification form: https://portal.nebih.gov.hu/fd-betegseg-info).

10.4. Our situation. We are neither an authority nor a professional adviser; we comply with our statutory obligation. We may also exchange laboratory results with the laboratory through a data connection, and the authority may also record a result with us (Section 3.6). We hand over data to an authority only if the law requires it. This does not replace the notification by the person taking the sample, the laboratory or the land user either.

11. Licence for the Content

This Section is a clause within the meaning of Section 6:78(2)–(3) of the Ptk. requiring separate acceptance.

11.1. A licence, not a transfer of rights

Your copyright remains with you. We receive a non-exclusive licence; you may use the Content freely, and may also grant others a licence for it.

11.2. Creation

The licence arises separately with each item of Content, for the copyright work contained in it, under the Terms in force at the time of finalisation (in the app, at the time of upload); this also applies to a supplement. It does not extend to a future work. We do not use the private fields and your own vine marking for AI training.

11.3. Scope

It is non-exclusive, and covers the whole world and the entire term of copyright protection.

11.4. The modes of use

The licence covers only the modes listed below; a new mode requires a new, separate acceptance.

Operation: 1. reproduction, including backup copies; 2. electronic storage; 3. adaptation (for example removal of the metadata, resizing, cropping, production of the image layers, details, video frames, derived, synthetic and augmented versions, masking of identifying details); 4. communication to the public – to the reviewers and the labellers for their task, and of certain images in a scientific publication, in press material, in a popular-science publication and in a public educational selection – always without location and name, never in advertising; at your request, we remove your image from further publication; 5. annotation and labelling, by human or machine means; 6. building, storage, versioning and internal analysis of a dataset; 7. internal display to our staff and our data processors.

Research and AI development (Section 4.5), including for pre-screening systems: 8. training, 9. fine-tuning, 10. validation, 11. measurement (with the publication of the results, not of the images) of an AI model; 12. production and storage of training, validation and test datasets.

Handover to a partner (Section 11.5): 13. preparation of the dataset that can be handed over, without account identifier, name, contact details, private field, own vine marking, reviewer and labeller identifiers, the images as layers ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’; 14. handover of this dataset, free of charge or for consideration (money or, for example, access to the partner’s results); 15. handover of the trained model, the licensing of its use and its disclosure to the public, without the images.

The exact location and time remain in the handed-over dataset, because the spread cannot be researched without them. Therefore it is not anonymous.

Earlier Content. By accepting version 3.5 or a later version, you also permit layer ‘D’ for your earlier images (if you have not already done so with version 3.4), and, for the images of earlier surveys, communication to the labellers under mode 4 and labelling under mode 5, and you also waive the remuneration due for this.

11.5. Sub-licence and partners

You consent to our granting a sub-licence for the modes under Section 11.4 (Section 46(1) of the Szjt.): (a) to our data processors, only for our purpose; (b) to research partners and (c) to developer and business partners, on the basis of a written agreement, free of charge or for consideration; (d) to our successor.

The agreement with the partner stipulates at least the following: (ca) only for viticultural and plant-health research and development, and for a product or service with such a purpose; (cb) it may not be passed on; (cc) identification of the submitter, the landowner or the land user and linking with another register are prohibited; (cd) the images (with the exception of certain images in a scientific publication, without location) and the exact location may not be published, and location-related results may be published only in aggregated form; (ce) it may not be used for a decision, offer or official procedure concerning a specific submitter, farmer, vineyard or land parcel, and may not be handed over to an authority for such a purpose either; (cf) data protection, outside the EEA with appropriate safeguards; (cg) security, certified deletion at the end, our right of audit; (ch) removal of your data in the event of an objection.

The sub-licence is non-exclusive, and we are liable for the sub-licensee. The database maker’s right belongs to the Operator, but it is not sufficient for the handover of the photographs. Not permitted: the bulk or open publication of the images (mode 4 is an exception), the disclosure of the exact location to the public, the handover of layer ‘A’, and a use not listed in Section 11.4.

11.6. Remuneration – declaration of waiver

The author is entitled to remuneration, which can be waived only by an express declaration (Section 16(4) of the Szjt.). Therefore, in the ‘Details’ part of the short sentence above the finalise button, the following declaration appears, which you make by finalising:

‘By finalising the submission, I grant the licence under Section 11 of the General Terms and Conditions for the content now submitted, and I expressly waive any remuneration due under the applicable laws for the uses defined there.’

(For a survey: ‘By recording the survey, … for the content now recorded …’.) (In the Android application, the declaration appears before upload, beginning ‘By uploading …, … for the content now uploaded …’.) (For a quick capture, before saving: ‘By saving the recording, … for the content now recorded …’.)

The waiver also extends to handover for consideration (modes 13 to 15 of Section 11.4); the consideration covers our work, and the submitters do not share in it. It does not affect your moral rights or Section 11.10.

11.7. Use for research and your right to object

11.7.1. Legal basis. On the copyright side, this licence; on the data protection side, our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, Article 89); for the handover, with a separate balancing of interests (Section 7.3 of the Privacy Notice).

11.7.2. Objection. You may object at any time, free of charge, to use for research, for AI purposes and for handover, at info@fdfinder.org, and we always comply with it, without asking for reasons: we do not include your Content in new training or in a new handover, and we notify the earlier recipient.

11.7.3. What we do not promise. We do not remove the effect of your data from an already trained model, and we do not claim that the model cannot contain personal data.

11.7.4. Acceptance. You accept the research clause with a separate checkbox: at registration, and again if a new version asks for it (Section 15.5). On that basis the licence arises for each item of Content; we do not ask for separate consent. We base use for AI purposes not on the text and data mining exception, but on this licence.

11.8. Moral rights

You do not waive these (Section 9(2) of the Szjt.). You choose not to have your name indicated (Section 12(3) of the Szjt.); if you ask for it later, we indicate it. You consent to the modifications under mode 3 of Section 11.4, but not to a distortion that is prejudicial to your honour.

11.9. After the account ceases to exist

The licence survives in respect of the Content already uploaded, within the limits of the consumer rules (Section 16.4); it does not restrict your right to erasure (Section 13.3 of the Privacy Notice).

11.10. Two limits that cannot be excluded

For a well-founded reason, you may withdraw the licence in writing, subject to reimbursing our damage (Section 11 of the Szjt.). In the event of a conspicuous disproportion in value, you may apply to a court (Section 48 of the Szjt.).

11.11. Texts

This Section applies to texts and voice notes if they are protected by copyright.

12. The Operator’s rights

The interface, the source code, the logo and the database structure belong to the Operator. You receive a non-transferable right for use as intended; except in the cases permitted by law, reverse engineering, copying, building a derivative service and extraction of the database are prohibited.

13. Content moderation

13.1. FD Finder is an online platform within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 on digital services (the DSA); as a micro-enterprise, certain of its obligations do not apply to us.

13.2. We examine Content that is contrary to Section 8 or 9 or to the law upon a notice or on our own initiative; the decision is made by a human, with reasons. We may remove the Content, take it out of the review, temporarily lock the account (you can still sign in and see your own data, but you cannot record or review), and in serious cases terminate the account.

13.3. Notice: anyone, even without an account, at info@fdfinder.org (the link to the Content, the reason for the infringement, the name and email address of the notifier, a declaration of good faith). We confirm receipt, give reasons for the decision and indicate the redress available. This is also the point of contact, in Hungarian and English.

14. Finality of reviews

The review, the flag and the comment are final when submitted. If they are erroneous or contain personal data, you may request their rectification or deletion; in that case we remove the comment, we do not rewrite it, and we log it.

15. Amendment

15.1. We may amend the Terms and the Service for a valid reason (change in legislation, security, change of service provider, development, methodological refinement), without additional cost. If the amendment adversely affects you more than to a minor extent, we notify you in advance, and you may terminate free of charge within 30 days of the notification or of the amendment (whichever is later) (Section 27 of Government Decree 373/2021).

15.2. The licence is not extended retroactively, unless the express acceptance of a new version states this (Section 11.4).

15.3. We archive the earlier versions with their version number and hash, and make them available on request.

15.4. The manner of acceptance:

• (a) Minor amendment – what does not fall under point (b), for example a clarification or a new data processor. We notify you by email at least 15 days before it, and publish the text in advance (with a shorter period only because of the law, an official decision or security). Anyone who continues to use the Service after this accepts it; anyone who does not accept it may terminate free of charge.
• (b) Express acceptance is required if the amendment extends the licence under Section 11 or the research clause, or if it is significant (a new processing operation or data transfer, or a material change in the operation). Until then, finalisation and reviewing are suspended. If a new processing operation requires your consent, we ask for it separately; refusing it does not affect the other functions.

15.5. Everyone accepts version 3.6 expressly, because new processing operations and a new data processor enter the text (knowledge base and AI answer, simulator leaderboard, cooperation applications, the location of the vineyard). The research clause is not extended, so it does not have to be accepted again.

16. Termination

16.1. The contract is concluded for an indefinite term.

16.2. You may terminate at any time, without giving reasons, free of charge: write to info@fdfinder.org from the email address of your account.

16.3. We may terminate with 15 days’ notice if we discontinue or substantially transform the Service; with immediate effect if you seriously or repeatedly breach Sections 7 to 9, where possible with a prior warning, and always giving reasons.

16.4. Upon termination, at your request, we make the Content provided only by you available in a machine-readable format (Sections 24 to 26 of Government Decree 373/2021).

16.5. The licence under Section 11 and the rules on indemnification, liability and complaints survive.

16.6. Account deletion: full deletion or the pseudonymised retention of the research data; if you do not choose, full deletion (Section 13.3 of the Privacy Notice).

17. Liability

17.1. We are liable under the Ptk.

17.2. We are not liable for the correctness of the assessment, for decisions based on it, for failure to make the notification, for the Content of other users, for temporary unavailability, for the loss of the Local archive, or for data loss resulting from a fault in your device, internet connection or location detection.

17.3. This does not apply to an intentional breach of contract or a breach of contract harming life, physical integrity or health (Section 6:152 of the Ptk.), or to what the law does not permit to be limited.

17.4. We do not exclude product liability under the law.

17.5. Your responsibility is the lawfulness of the Content, the entitlement under Section 9 and the prohibitions of Section 8.

17.6. Force majeure. Neither party is liable if performance fails because of an unforeseeable, unavoidable external cause.

18. Complaint

18.1. You may lodge your complaint at info@fdfinder.org; we reply in writing within 30 days, and if we reject it, with reasons and an indication of the remedies.

18.2. Conciliation body: as a consumer, you may turn to the body competent for your place of residence. The one competent for our registered office: Budapesti Békéltető Testület, 1016 Budapest, Krisztina krt. 99.; postal address: 1253 Budapest, Pf. 10.; telephone: +36 1 488 2131; email: bekelteto.testulet@bkik.hu; website: https://bekeltet.bkik.hu. We cooperate; we have not made a general declaration of submission.

18.3. Consumer protection authority: the government office competent for your place of residence. Data protection complaint: NAIH. Recourse to the courts is always open.

19. Processing

The processing is described in the Privacy Notice. The Content, together with the location, is personal data even if we separate your name from it; the dataset that may be handed over to a partner is not anonymous either (Section 11.4).

20. Applicable law, jurisdiction

Hungarian law governs; a consumer living in another EEA state is also entitled to the mandatory protection of that state (Article 6 of the Rome I Regulation) and to the protective rules of the Brussels Ia Regulation. If a provision is invalid, the others remain valid. An unclear clause must be interpreted in your favour.

Succession. We may transfer our rights and obligations to our successor; we notify you of this in advance, and you may terminate free of charge within 30 days.

21. User profile

21.1. At registration, we ask for a name by which to address you; it is private, and may also be a nickname.

21.2. On the My account page, you may voluntarily provide further, private data about your farming and your contact details; none of them is a condition of any function. You may modify or delete them at any time.

21.3. We use the farm data only in aggregated form, with small groups suppressed, for statistics and planning; the telephone number only for individual contact.

21.4. The professional identifier is the number identifying you in a sector register (for example the number of the HNT Gazdasági Akta). We hand it over to a sector system only after prior information, with your consent.

22. Supporter content

Supporter placements always carry the ‘Sponsored’ marking, and are served only by our own system, without third-party code. We may select them on the basis of your profile; you may switch this off on the My account page. We do not hand over personal data to supporters, except for the delivery of a prize (Section 25). A supporter may also cover the costs of our artificial intelligence tools; this does not mean that we recommend it.

23. Electronic messages

23.1. We always send service messages (account, Content, authorisation, security, legal change); newsletters (news of the Service and the programme, without advertising) only if the setting is active. We send supporter offers and advertising only if you request this separately on the My account page; this is switched off by default and can be withdrawn at any time.

23.2. The newsletter setting may start in the active state upon acceptance of the Terms; you may unsubscribe in one step on the My account page or at the bottom of any email, and the setting does not switch back on by itself.

24. Public handle and leaderboards

You may set an optional public handle; you appear on a leaderboard only with it and your activity score. You may delete it at any time; we may remove a misleading or offensive handle. You may appear on the leaderboard of the educational simulator without an account, under a nickname; you may have your result deleted with the deletion code you receive.

25. Prize draws

We may announce promotions, each with its own Prize Draw Rules; the draw can be verified afterwards. We ask for delivery details only for the delivery of the prize; if the supporter delivers it, it receives only these, and may not use them for marketing.

26. Contact forms

The forms on the public pages (for example a question, a suggestion, sending in a source, press and cooperation applications) can also be used without an account. Sending a form is not the conclusion of a contract and not a newsletter subscription; we give no undertaking as to a time limit for replying (Section 18 applies to complaints).

Knowledge material sent in. Send only what you may lawfully share (for example your own work, or a work whose terms of use permit this). We may process the material sent in into the knowledge base; we may pass on the knowledge written from it at the levels of the knowledge base, and may also use it for research and AI development. We do not pass on the original file. If the work is yours, you grant a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence for this; we indicate your name only at your request.

27. Purchase, paid service, cooperation

Separate terms and, where necessary, a separate privacy notice apply to the purchase of a product (for example a wine package), to the ordering of a paid service (for example laboratory testing) and to cooperation (for example a wine donation, a professional partnership), which you accept when ordering or when concluding the agreement, respectively. An application is not yet a contract.
