Terms

Last updated 29 September 2026.

Plain words, because nobody reads the other kind. If something here is unclear, ask and we will say what it means.

What you get

A place to keep livestock records — on the web and on your phone — for as long as your membership runs. A membership covers one operation, however many head are in it and however many people you put on it.

Your records are yours

You own what you put in. We hold it for you, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to build anything for anybody else. You can take it out as spreadsheets at any time, and you do not need our help or our permission to leave.

What we ask of you

• Keep your sign-in to yourself. It is the only way into your account, and anyone holding it is you as far as the software is concerned.
• Put your own records in it, not somebody else's.
• Do not try to reach another operation's data or break the thing on purpose.
• If you add hired help, you are responsible for what they do on your account.

If a membership lapses

Nothing is deleted and you are not locked out. The account goes read-only: you can look through everything, and you cannot add or change records until it is renewed. A phone that has been out of signal keeps working for a fortnight before it asks.

One deliberate exception: a phone always finishes uploading what it has already collected, membership or not. Records stranded on one device with no copy anywhere is the failure that actually loses a herd, and we would rather wear the cost.

If a partner is paying

Where a feed dealer or an association holds your seat, they decide whether to renew it and we will never ask you for money. If they stop, your account goes read-only like any other and you can pick it up yourself. Your records do not belong to them and do not go with them.

Ending it

Stop and it stops — there is nothing to cancel. To remove the account and everything in it, use Your details in the app or the form on this site. Either way it is scheduled 30 days ahead, and signing in before that cancels it. After that date the records are gone and we cannot get them back.

We can close an account that is being used to attack the service or to hold somebody else's data. We will say why, and you get your records first.

What we do not promise

We work hard to keep this running and backed up, and we cannot promise it never breaks. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose — the export is there for that, and it is good advice about any software, including ours.

Calf Book records what you tell it. It does not give veterinary, breeding, nutritional or financial advice, and a withdrawal period it shows is only as right as the treatment that was entered. Check a label before an animal ships.

Where the law allows it to be limited, our liability is limited to what you have paid us in the previous twelve months. Nothing here takes away rights you have that cannot be signed away.

Changes

If these terms change in a way that affects you, we will email you before it takes effect rather than editing this page quietly. Carrying on using it after that is agreement; if you would rather not, delete the account and take your records.
