License terms

Version of October 22, 2026.

This translation is provided for convenience. In case of any difference, the Portuguese version prevails.

By creating an account, signing in or using the system, the licensee declares having read and accepted these terms. If you do not agree, do not use RDS Nutrition.

1. Parties

These terms govern the relationship between , , owner of the RDS Nutrition — Rúmen Dairy Smart software (the “owner”), and the individual or company that purchases the license (the “licensee”), including the users the licensee registers in its account.

RDS Nutrition is intended for professionals and companies working in cattle nutrition and management. The license is purchased for professional use.

2. What is licensed

The owner grants the licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, temporary and paid license to use RDS Nutrition for the contracted period, over the internet and on the registered devices, under article 9 of Brazilian Law No. 9,609/1998.

The license does not transfer to the licensee ownership of the software, source code, feed library, screens, implemented calculation models or brand. The licensee only receives the right to use the system while the license is valid.

3. Accounts, logins and devices

Each license has its own account. The number of logins and of devices per login is set at purchase; if not set, each login may be used on a single device.
Login and password are personal. The licensee is responsible for all use made with the logins of its account and must notify the owner of any suspected unauthorized access.
The system registers a device identifier and may end the session on one device when the same login signs in on another. Device changes are handled by support.
The account administrator may create, block and change the profile of the team's logins.

4. What is not allowed

Copying, reproducing, renting, selling, sublicensing or assigning the system, or access to it, to third parties.
Decompiling, reverse engineering or attempting to obtain the source code, except to the extent expressly permitted by law.
Circumventing limits on logins, devices, AI reading quota or any security mechanism.
Extracting system content automatically or in bulk, such as the feed library, or using it to build a competing product.
Using the system for unlawful purposes or to enter third-party content without authorization.

Breach allows the owner to suspend access immediately, without prejudice to the measures provided for in Laws No. 9,609/1998 and No. 9,610/1998.

5. Intellectual property

The scientific models applied by the system, such as NASEM 2021, belong to their authors and are cited as references. RDS Nutrition is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Improvement suggestions sent by the licensee may be used by the owner in the system without giving rise to compensation or rights over the software.

6. Licensee data

The data the licensee enters, such as farms, producers, groups, diets, own feeds, lab reports, records and photos, are the licensee's responsibility. The owner processes these data only to provide the service, as a processor, under the privacy policy.

The licensee declares that it has authorization from producers and farms to enter their data in the system.

Data remain available in the system while the license is valid. RDS Nutrition does not offer export or migration of these data to other systems. After the license ends, data are kept for 90 days in case of renewal and then deleted, unless the law requires them to be kept.

7. Technical responsibility

RDS Nutrition is a decision-support tool. Results depend on the data entered by the user, such as feed composition, intake, body weight and production, and on the published calculation models the system applies.

Formulation, diet recommendation, management and technical responsibility towards the producer and the professional council lie with the professional using the system, who must check values, limits and results before recommending any diet.

8. AI reading

Reading of milk records, weighings and other documents from photos or PDFs uses a third-party artificial intelligence service. The file is sent to that service only for reading. The result may contain errors and must be checked by the user before saving.

Each license has a monthly quota of files read with AI, set at purchase. Excel and CSV spreadsheets do not count toward the quota.

9. Availability and updates

The owner strives to keep the system available but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation, which may be affected by maintenance, updates, infrastructure provider failures or connectivity.

Offline mode keeps on the device the farms already opened and the changes made without connection. Pending changes only reach the server when the same login is back online on that device; signing out with pending changes may lose them, and the system warns beforehand.

The system may be changed, gain or lose features to evolve, fix errors or follow new scientific references.

10. Payment, term and suspension

The license is valid for the contracted period (monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual) and for the price agreed at purchase. Without renewal, access is suspended at the end of the term; data follow the period in section 6.

The owner may suspend access in case of non-payment or breach of these terms.

11. Farm sharing

The licensee may share a farm with another system user, view-only or with editing permission, and may pause or end the sharing. Whoever shares is responsible for being authorized to do so and for what the invited user does with the permission granted.

12. Limitation of liability

The owner is not liable for production losses, economic damages, animal health problems or loss of profits arising from technical decisions made using the system, nor for incorrect data entered by the user.

Where the owner's liability is recognized, it is limited to the amount paid by the licensee in the 12 months before the event, except where the law does not allow such limitation.

13. Termination

The licensee may stop renewing at any time. The owner may terminate the license for breach of these terms or, with 30 days' notice, if the system is discontinued.

14. Changes

These terms may be updated. The version in force is always on this page, with the date at the top. Relevant changes are announced in the system or by e-mail, and continued use after notice means acceptance.

15. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. The courts of , Brazil, are elected to settle any matter regarding them.
