LEGAL

NOTICE: Access to the Farmers^® Systems and Materials (defined below) is restricted to users with a properly authorized user name and password. Properly authorized users include only those users whom Farmers (defined below) expressly authorizes to access the Farmers Systems; and in the absence of prior express written consent from Farmers, third party vendors are not and will not be considered properly authorized users. Access by unauthorized persons is prohibited and a violation of your legal obligation to Farmers. If you are not sure you have the proper authorization from Farmers to access the Farmers Systems and Materials, you should discontinue any further attempt to access the Farmers Systems and Materials immediately. 

The computer systems, networks and other technical resources, including the Agency Dashboard, the electronic Customer Management System (eCMS), the Sales Insight Management Solution (SiMS) and Farmers agent email services (including, without limitation, farmersagent.com and farmersagency.com), owned, leased or contracted by or for the entities that are part of the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies^® ("Farmers") and/or their affiliates (collectively, the "Farmers Systems") are for the sole use of Farmers agents, district managers and other properly authorized users. Any materials, content, information, communications, data, software or tools, including lead, sales and financial management tools, you create, view, access on, or that are available on or from the Farmers Systems, including, but not limited to, emails, tasks, appointments, files and logs (collectively, the "Materials"), are proprietary, confidential and trade secret information of Farmers. The Farmers Systems and Materials are intended for use in connection with legitimate business purposes related to your Farmers agency and Farmers, and are not intended to be used for other purposes (including personal purposes). You should have no expectation of privacy in your use of the Farmers Systems, in any Materials you access, or in any communications you send or receive, regardless of any access permissions you set on the accounts you maintain on the Farmers Systems.

Farmers reserves the right to authorize its agents and representatives to inspect, review, monitor, analyze, copy or record any use of the Systems or any Materials generated or obtained by an agent's or district manager’s personnel, as Farmers deems appropriate. Likewise, Farmers and/or others designated by Farmers will inspect, review, monitor, analyze, copy, and/or record the Materials and/or use of the Farmers Systems and/or report on your use of the Farmers Systems and/or Materials without prior notice as Farmers deems appropriate. To the extent the Farmers Systems are operated by third party service providers, which will be allowed solely at the direction of and after receiving express written consent from Farmers, you authorize such service providers to disclose to Farmers any Materials or any information about your access to or use of the Farmers Systems.

You may not, nor shall you permit others to, access, reproduce, distribute, screen scrape, swap, scrub or exploit any Materials for purposes other than those expressly permitted herein. You are responsible for all access to the Farmers Systems or Materials by anyone you allow, directly or indirectly, to access the Farmers Systems, and for the accuracy, security, integrity and confidentiality of all Materials generated or obtained by anyone using the Farmers Systems under your user name and password or any user name and password you allow another to use. Sharing the Farmers Systems and Materials with persons not authorized by Farmers to access the Farmers Systems and Materials is prohibited and is a violation of your legal obligations to Farmers.

Farmers discourages international access to the Systems; therefore, international access is not authorized for anyone other than an agent who must conduct business on an urgent basis. And providing Systems access to third party vendors without the prior express written consent of Farmers, either directly or indirectly, for any purpose, is strictly prohibited.

Use of the Farmers Systems is subject to the "Farmers Agency Force Electronic Communications Policy" and the "Policy Statement: Access to and Confidentiality of Farmers Network Information Systems."

Violations of this Notice or the policies of Farmers, as they may be modified from time to time without prior notice, may result in disciplinary action, termination of your appointment agreement or other business relationships with Farmers and/or its appointed agents or district managers, and criminal or civil penalties.
