1. Parties & Scope
This Farmer Onboarding Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Only Farmers Limited (Company No. 17058134), registered at 27 Mortimer Street, London, W1T 3BL (“Only Farmers”, “we”, “us”), and any business, or any individual acting for business purposes and not as a consumer, registering as a Farmer on the Platform (“Farmer”, “you”, “your”).
This Agreement governs the commercial relationship between Only Farmers and the Farmer, including the listing of experiences, stays, and events, the posting of Job Postings on the jobs board, and the listing of goods in your farm shop. It supplements the Only Farmers Terms & Conditions and applicable policies referred to therein, which are incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms & Conditions, this Agreement takes precedence to the extent of the inconsistency.
Application of this version. This version of the Agreement applies to Farmers who accept it on or after 27 August 2026. Farmers who accepted an earlier version remain on that version until they receive the notice required by this Agreement (including under Section 4.2), at which point this version or a successor will apply to them.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in Section 3 (Definitions) of the Terms & Conditions.
1.4 Only Farmers acts as the Farmer’s limited disclosed agent
Only Farmers acts only as the Farmer’s limited disclosed agent, for the purposes of: (a) marketing and displaying the Farmer’s Listings to Guests; (b) concluding Bookings with Guests in the Farmer’s name and on the Farmer’s behalf; and (c) collecting payment from Guests on the Farmer’s behalf, and accounting to the Farmer for it, in accordance with Section 4. Payment services are provided by Stripe (Section 3.4).
The Farmer is the supplier of every stay, experience, event, or other service described in a Listing, and contracts directly with the Guest in respect of it. Only Farmers is not the supplier of the Farmer’s Listings for VAT purposes.
Only Farmers does not buy, resell, or take title to any Listing, does not set Listing prices, and does not acquire any interest in the Farmer’s goods or services. Only Farmers’ own supply is the provision of the Platform and related services, for which the Farmer Fee and the Service Fee are payable.
Only Farmers discloses the Farmer as the supplier to Guests at the point of booking and on every booking confirmation and receipt.
2. Farmer Eligibility
In addition to the general eligibility criteria set out in Section 4 of the Terms & Conditions (which apply to all users of the Platform), to register as a Farmer you must:
Be at least 18 years old.
Be a business, or an individual, acting in the course of a trade, business, or profession, or a registered business entity (and not as a consumer).
Have legal authority to offer the experiences, stays, or events described in your Listings, including the right to grant access to the land or premises.
Be based in the United Kingdom.
Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information at registration and at all times during the term of this Agreement.
3. Onboarding Process
Before any Listing goes live, you must complete the following onboarding steps:
3.1 Account Registration
Complete the Farmer registration form, providing: your legal name (or business name), trading address, email address, telephone number, (where applicable) your Companies House registration number, and your VAT registration status — including your VAT registration number if you are VAT registered.
You must notify Only Farmers promptly if your VAT registration status changes, including if you become registered or cease to be registered. Only Farmers relies on this information for Guest receipts.
3.2 Identity Verification
Only Farmers may verify your identity using a third-party verification service. This may include photo ID matching or other checks. You consent to this verification as a condition of registration.
3.3 Compliance Documentation
Farmers must maintain valid licences, certifications, insurance and documentation as appropriate for the activity. You may be required to provide the following documents (where applicable to your Listing type) before your first Listing is approved:
All Listings: Public liability insurance certificate (minimum £5,000,000 per occurrence; £10,000,000 for events exceeding 500 attendees).
Accommodation Listings: Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), Fire Risk Assessment, Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and evidence of compliance with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.
Food & drink Listings: Food business registration confirmation, Food Hygiene Rating (where available), and evidence that at least one person involved holds a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate or equivalent.
Alcohol Listings: Premises licence or Temporary Event Notice (TEN) under the Licensing Act 2003 (or equivalent in Scotland/Northern Ireland), and details of the Designated Premises Supervisor (where required).
Animal experience Listings: Animal exhibition licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 (or equivalent), and (for equestrian activities) a Riding Establishment licence.
Hunting/shooting Listings: Evidence that the Farmer holds the relevant Shotgun Certificate or Firearms Certificate issued by the local police force, and that the land is appropriately permitted for shooting activities. Evidence of adequate insurance cover specific to shooting activities, over and above the standard public liability minimum. All participants must be aged 18 or over.
Child safeguarding (where Listing is likely to involve under-18 attendees): A documented risk assessment that specifically considers the safety of children of different age groups. Where staff or volunteers have regular unsupervised contact with children, valid DBS checks (or equivalent in Scotland/Northern Ireland). Only Farmers may require evidence of safeguarding training or a child protection policy before the Listing is approved.
Short-term let registration: Evidence of registration on any mandatory national or local short-term let register (including the proposed England Short-Term Lets Register, and the mandatory Scottish short-term let licence under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982).
Only Farmers reserves the right to request additional documentation at any time. Listings will not be approved until all required documentation has been received and verified.
3.4 Stripe’s Payment Services
As set out in Section 8.1 of our Terms and Conditions, by accepting the Terms and Conditions you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement (defined therein) to receive Payment Services (defined therein) from Stripe in relation to payouts. As explained in Section 8.1, to receive the Payment Services, you agree to provide us and Stripe with accurate and complete information about you on request (including personal identification information and any supporting documents to allow us and Stripe to carry out all necessary due diligence measures to determine your eligibility to use the Payment Services), and you authorise us to share any such information, including any transaction information related to your use of the Payment Services, with Stripe. This includes providing your bank account details and any information required by Stripe for identity verification and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
3.5 Listing Takedown
Only Farmers does not review or approve Listings prior to publication. However, we reserve the right to remove or suspend any Listing at any time if we identify or become aware that it does not meet our quality standards, is incomplete or misleading, does not comply with the Terms & Conditions, or where we become aware that any required compliance documentation has not been provided. We will provide a reason for any rejection.
4. Fees & Payment Terms
4.1 Pricing Model
Only Farmers operates a combined Farmer Fee and Guest Service Fee model, as further explained below:
The “Farmer Fee” means Only Farmers’ platform fee for each Booking: the percentage of the Listing price set out in the Fee Schedule in Section 4.2, excluding any Service Fee and any Tip. VAT may be charged on top of the Farmer Fee where required by law, subject to the interim VAT treatment in Section 4.2.
The Farmer sets the Listing price. The total price displayed to customers on Only Farmers for each Listing will be the Listing price (as set by the Farmer) (VAT-inclusive, if applicable) plus any additional fees payable by Guests (including the Service Fee). Farmers receive the Listing price, minus the Farmer Fee, and any other applicable deductions permitted under this Agreement, the Terms & Conditions, or applicable policies.
Farmers pay the Farmer Fee to Only Farmers for each Booking. This is a percentage of the Listing price, at the rate or rates set out in the Fee Schedule in Section 4.2.
Only Farmers charges a Service Fee to the Guest. The total price displayed on Only Farmers for a Listing will be the Listing price plus any additional fees payable by Guests (this includes the Service Fee). The Service Fee is paid to Only Farmers for the use of the platform and is not received by Farmers.
Payment processing costs (relating to Stripe’s services) are absorbed by Only Farmers out of the Service Fee. No payment processing costs are passed to the Farmer. The Farmer pays only the Farmer Fee for the use of Only Farmers.
Guests may optionally add a tip. Tips are voluntary amounts added by Guests for a Booking. Tips pass through to the Farmer and are not subject to the Farmer Fee or any other platform commission charged by Only Farmers.
4.2 Fee Schedule
| Fee | Rate |
|---|---|
| Farmer Fee (charged to Farmer) — experiences, stays, events and courses | 7.1% of Listing price, plus VAT where applicable, deducted from your payout |
| Farmer Fee (charged to Farmer) — private hire | Graduated on the quote value, plus VAT where applicable, deducted from your payout: 7.1% on the first £1,000, 5% on the next £2,000, and 2% on any amount above £3,000 |
| New farm owner commission-free allowance | The Farmer Fee is waived on the first £300 of Listing price you take through the Platform. The allowance is one-time, applies per owner (pooled across every farm you own), and does not affect the Service Fee paid by the Guest. |
| Service Fee (charged to Guest) | 2.5% of Listing price, primarily covering Stripe payment processing costs and platform operating costs |
| Payment processing costs (Stripe) | Absorbed by Only Farmers from the Service Fee. Not charged to the Farmer. |
| Farmer cancellation administrative charge | £25 / £50 / £100 (escalating per Cancellation & Refund Policy) |
| Marketplace Service Fee (charged to Buyer on product purchases) | To be confirmed. May differ from the experience Service Fee rate. Will be communicated before the marketplace feature goes live. |
Interim VAT treatment. From the effective date of this version until Only Farmers gives notice under this Section, Farmers continue to pay no more than 7.1% of the Listing price (or the graduated private-hire rates above), because Only Farmers absorbs any VAT due on the Farmer Fee within that amount. No Farmer will be charged VAT retrospectively in respect of the interim period.
Note: Existing Farmers will receive at least 30 days’ written notice before any change to the Farmer Fee or Service Fee rate, including before VAT begins to be charged in addition to the Farmer Fee.
4.3 Payouts
The deduction from each payout ordinarily comprises the Farmer Fee plus any VAT chargeable on it. During the interim period described in Section 4.2, any VAT due on the Farmer Fee is absorbed by Only Farmers and included within the existing deduction, so the total deducted does not increase.
Subject to the conditions below, Only Farmers schedules each payout for three calendar days after the relevant Booking has ended: after the experience, event or private hire ends; after checkout for a stay; or after the final session for a course. Once Only Farmers instructs Stripe to release the payout, the time it takes to appear depends on Stripe and the Farmer’s bank.
Payouts are made in Pounds Sterling (GBP) to the bank account linked to your Stripe Connected Account. The time it takes for funds to arrive after initiation depends on your bank and Stripe’s processing times.
Payouts may be withheld or delayed where there is a reasonable suspicion of fraud, an open dispute, a chargeback, a damage claim, or a material breach of this Agreement or the Terms & Conditions. We will notify Farmers promptly if a payout is withheld and will resolve the position as quickly as possible. The time it takes for funds to reach a Farmer’s account after the payout instruction depends on the Farmer’s bank and Stripe’s processing times, which are outside our control.
Without limiting Section 8.4 of the Terms & Conditions, where a Guest (or any parent, guardian or card-issuer acting on their behalf) is entitled to a refund in accordance with the Cancellation & Refund Policy because a Booking is void, voidable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Guest was under 18 at the time of the Booking, the Farmer shall refund the Guest. The Farmer’s refund obligation may be satisfied by: (a) authorising Only Farmers to instruct Stripe release the relevant Booking funds held by Stripe on the Farmer’s behalf back to the Guest; or (b) where no such funds are held by Stripe on the Farmer’s behalf, the funds held by Stripe on the Farmer’s behalf are insufficient to cover the refund in full, by direct payment of the refund (or the shortfall) to Stripe (for onward payment to the Guest) within 14 days of demand. If the Farmer fails to do so, Only Farmers may (but is not obliged to) refund the Guest on the Farmer’s behalf and recover the full amount of the refund (together with any associated chargeback fees, payment processing costs and reasonable administrative costs) from the Farmer by deduction from any pending or future payouts or, if no payouts are pending, by direct invoice payable within 14 days. This right of recovery is in addition to, and does not limit, the indemnity in Section 10.
4.4 Taxes
You are solely responsible for determining your tax obligations and for paying all taxes arising from income received through the Platform, including income tax, corporation tax, National Insurance contributions, and VAT (where applicable).
The Farmer is the supplier to the Guest of each stay, experience, event, or service, and is responsible for any VAT due on the Farmer’s own supplies. Where the Farmer is VAT registered, Listing prices are treated as inclusive of any VAT due on the Farmer’s supply, and the Farmer accounts for that VAT to HMRC in the Farmer’s own VAT return.
Only Farmers is responsible only for VAT on its own platform fees — the Farmer Fee and the Service Fee. A Farmer’s VAT registration status affects whether the Farmer can reclaim VAT charged on those fees; it does not affect whether Only Farmers is required to charge VAT on them.
Only Farmers will issue VAT invoices for its fees once its VAT registration number has been received.
Only Farmers does not provide tax advice. You should seek independent professional advice on your tax obligations.
Only Farmers is required to report Farmer income data to HMRC under the OECD DAC7 framework. By entering into this Agreement, you consent to Only Farmers collecting and sharing the following data with HMRC: your legal name, address, date of birth (or company registration number), tax identification number (where available), total consideration received through the Platform in each calendar year, and the number of Bookings and product sales completed. This reporting is a legal obligation and is not optional.
4.5 Security Deposits
You may set a refundable security deposit on eligible Listings (such as stays, camping, and private hire). The deposit amount is yours to set and is shown to the Guest before booking. Only Farmers holds and administers security deposits on your behalf; you do not collect, hold, or have direct access to deposit funds.
A security deposit is taken as an authorisation hold on the Guest’s payment method shortly before the experience or stay and is released automatically, without charge, within seven (7) days after the end date unless you submit a valid Damage Report. To claim against a deposit you must submit a Damage Report through the Platform, with supporting evidence, while the authorisation hold is still in place and in accordance with the Terms & Conditions. The Guest is notified and has at least 72 hours to dispute the claim. Where the Guest does not dispute it in that period, the amount you claimed is captured, up to the deposit amount. Where the Guest does dispute it, Only Farmers — not the Farmer — reviews the claim and determines the amount properly payable, and may decline disproportionate, unsupported, or late claims; if no determination is reached before the hold expires, the hold is released and you receive nothing in respect of that claim. Any captured amount is paid to you net of applicable fees and is subject to the same payout, withholding, dispute, and chargeback rules as other Booking proceeds.
The security deposit is a damage-protection mechanism only. It is not part of the Listing price and must not be used as a substitute for the Listing price, a cleaning fee, or any other charge.
5. Farmer Representations & Warranties

6. Listing Standards
In addition to the requirements in Section 5 of the Terms & Conditions, all Listings must comply with the following.
6.1 Content Standards
All Listings must:
Accurately describe the experience, accommodation, or event, including location, duration, what is included, and any restrictions or requirements.
Include high-quality photographs that are your own original images (or images you have the right to use). Stock photographs are not permitted for the main Listing image.
Clearly state the price (including per person, per group, per night) and any additional charges (e.g. cleaning fees, equipment hire), inclusive of VAT (where applicable).
Clearly state the cancellation policy, cutoff, and any custom refund schedule selected in accordance with the Cancellation & Refund Policy.
Clearly describe accessibility provisions and any limitations.
Clearly state any health, safety, age, fitness, or other requirements for participation.
Age policy (mandatory for all Listings): Every Listing must clearly display the Farmer’s age policy, specifying: the minimum age for attendees (if any), whether children must be accompanied by an adult, and any age-specific restrictions for particular activities. Hunting Listings must state that all participants must be aged 18 or over. Tasting Listings involving alcohol must state that alcohol will not be served to under-18s.
For accommodation Listings: clearly state check-in and check-out times, house rules, maximum occupancy, and any pet or smoking policies.
For food and drink Listings: clearly identify any of the 14 major allergens in accordance with the Food Information Regulations 2014 (Natasha’s Law).
For animal experience Listings: clearly describe risks associated with animal contact, including allergy risks and any restrictions on pregnant visitors or young children. State whether the experience is suitable for children and, if so, from what age.
Comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and Nondiscrimination Policy.
Ensure that all marketing claims, promotions, and other communications relating to your Listing comply with applicable consumer protection, advertising, and unfair commercial practices law (including the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and the UK Non-broadcast Code of Advertising).
6.2 Listing Accuracy & Updates
You must keep your Listings accurate and up to date at all times, including availability calendars, pricing, and any changes to the experience or premises. If the experience changes materially from the description in the Listing, you must update the Listing before accepting further Bookings. You may only change or cancel confirmed Bookings due to an event covered by the Major Disruptive Events Policy and any such change or cancellation must be made in accordance with the Cancellation & Refund Policy and the Major Disruptive Events Policy.
If a Farmer cancels a confirmed Booking, fails to fulfil a Booking, does not attend or make the Listing available for the Booking, or makes a material Farmer-initiated change that results in the Guest receiving a full refund, the Guest will receive a full refund of all amounts paid in respect of that Booking, including the Service Fee and any Tip. Only Farmers will not retain the Farmer Fee for that Booking in those circumstances. Only Farmers may recover any resulting refund, chargeback, Service Fee, Tip, operational cost, or other amount from the Farmer by instructing Stripe to deduct it from pending or future payouts or otherwise recovering it under the Terms & Conditions and this Agreement. Where a full refund is due because of a Major Disruptive Event or another no-fault event outside both Only Farmers’ and the Farmer’s reasonable control, Only Farmers may absorb the Service Fee on a no-fault basis and will not treat the Farmer as responsible for that Service Fee solely because the Booking could not proceed.
6.3 Prohibited Listings
In addition to the prohibitions in Section 5.4 of the Terms & Conditions, you must not list:
Experiences that require licences, certifications, or insurance that you do not hold.
Experiences that are unlawful, illegal or that promote or facilitate illegal activity.
Accommodation that does not meet the safety standards set out in Section 5.9 of the Terms & Conditions.
Experiences that are materially different from how they are described.
Duplicate Listings for the same experience or accommodation.
7. Ranking & Visibility
7.1 Ranking Factors
Listing position in search results and in sections such as “Coming Up Near You” is determined by the following factors, listed in order of relative importance:
Relevance to the Guest’s search query or location — Listings that match the Guest’s search terms, selected category, or geographic proximity are ranked higher.
Booking history and conversion rate — Listings that are frequently booked and have a higher conversion rate (views to Bookings) may be ranked higher.
Review score and volume — Listings with higher average review scores and more reviews may be ranked higher.
Listing completeness and quality — Listings with complete descriptions, high-quality photographs, and clearly stated terms may be ranked higher.
Recency and availability — Listings with upcoming available dates are prioritised over those with no near-term availability.
Farmer reliability — Farmers with fewer cancellations and a strong response rate may see their Listings ranked higher.
8. Ongoing Obligations
For the duration of this Agreement, you must:
Maintain continuous public liability insurance at the level required by the Terms & Conditions and provide updated evidence within 7 days of any request from Only Farmers.
Maintain all licences, registrations, and safety certifications required for your Listings and notify Only Farmers immediately if any lapse, are revoked, or change materially.
Respond to Guest enquiries and Booking requests within 24 hours during business hours.
Honour all confirmed Bookings except where cancellation is permitted under the Cancellation & Refund Policy or Major Disruptive Events Policy.
Keep your Listing calendar accurate and up to date.

Where you list goods in your farm shop, describe them accurately and comply with all applicable law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and all applicable product safety and food safety legislation. Farm shop listings are a showcase only; any sale of those goods is made by you, directly, away from the Platform.
Where you post Job Postings on the jobs board, comply with the Jobs Board Terms, the Equality Act 2010, the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Working Time Regulations 1998, the National Minimum Wage Act 1998, and all other applicable employment law.
Comply with the Terms & Conditions, in particular the terms specifically applicable to Farmers in Section 5.
9. Intellectual Property
9.1 Your Content
You retain ownership of all Content you submit to the Platform (including Listing descriptions, photographs, and videos). By submitting Content, you grant Only Farmers a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, display, reproduce, adapt, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating, marketing, and promoting the Platform. This licence continues for the duration of the Listing and ends when you delete the Content or close your account, subject to any Content already distributed or cached.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the right to use all content you submit, and that your Content does not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights) of any third party.
9.2 Only Farmers’ IP
All intellectual property in the Platform (including the Only Farmers name, logo, branding, software, and design) is owned by or licensed to Only Farmers Limited. You may not use Only Farmers’ intellectual property except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or with our prior written consent. You may use the Only Farmers name and logo in your own marketing materials solely to indicate that your experience is listed on the Platform, provided you do not alter the logo or use it in a way that suggests endorsement or partnership beyond the marketplace relationship.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Only Farmers and its officers, directors, employees, and agents in accordance with Section 5.17 of the Terms & Conditions.

Your insurance, licence, or safety certification has lapsed or been revoked.
You pose a safety risk to Guests.
You have engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity.
You have facilitated an Off-Platform Transaction.
A Guest complaint, dispute, or regulatory enquiry requires investigation.
Where we suspend or restrict a Listing or account, we will notify you by email with the reason for the action taken, except where disclosure would compromise a law enforcement investigation or endanger the safety of any person.
Users may appeal a suspension or termination decision by contacting hello@onlyfarmers.co.uk within 30 days of receiving notice. Appeals will be reviewed by a member of the Only Farmers team who was not involved in the original decision. Only Farmers will communicate the outcome of the appeal within 14 days of receipt.

13. Complaints & Internal Dispute Resolution

We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and aim to provide a substantive response within 30 days. Complaints will be handled by a member of the Only Farmers team with appropriate authority to resolve the issue.

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information received from the other party in connection with this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), including (without limitation) commercial terms, fee structures, internal policies not published at onlyfarmers.co.uk/legal, business strategies, and technical information about the Platform.
Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to the receiving party before disclosure, is independently developed by the receiving party, or is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order.
This obligation survives termination of this Agreement for a period of 2 years.
