1. Scope and Acceptance
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and us (“Developer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the PlantCare: AI Identifier mobile application (the “App”).
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Eligibility
You must be legally able to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction. If you use the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. Your use of the App must comply with applicable laws and platform rules.
3. App Purpose and Functionality
PlantCare: AI Identifier may provide AI-assisted plant identification, AI-generated plant diagnosis, personalized AI-generated care plans and care suggestions, AI consultation responses, care reminders, plant management, saved plant records, notes, photos, subscription features, and related tools for personal use.
Features may depend on your device, operating system, internet connection, permissions, App Store access, or third-party services. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features, subject to applicable law.
4. Important Plant-Care Disclaimer
Do not rely on the App to determine whether a plant, mushroom, fruit, substance, or treatment is safe for people or animals. Do not ingest or administer anything based on an App result. For poisoning, allergic reactions, urgent plant disease, or safety concerns, contact an appropriate qualified professional or local emergency or poison-control service.
Plant health depends on many conditions the App and its AI systems may not be able to observe, including local climate, soil, pests, disease, water quality, and prior treatment. The App does not guarantee any particular plant-health outcome. You are responsible for evaluating and applying any information provided by the App.
5. License and Intellectual Property
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to use the App on a compatible Apple device for personal, non-commercial purposes.
The App, including its software, interface, design, text, graphics, trademarks, databases, and other materials, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. Except as permitted by law, you may not copy, redistribute, sell, rent, sublicense, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, or create derivative works from the App.
6. Your Content
You retain your rights in plant photos, notes, feedback, and other content you submit or create (“User Content”). You grant us and our service providers, including third-party AI processing providers, a limited, worldwide license to host, reproduce, transmit, and process User Content only as reasonably necessary to provide the features you request, generate requested results, secure the service, and respond to support requests, subject to our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for User Content and must have the right to use and submit it. Do not submit content that is illegal, harmful, infringing, abusive, deceptive, or that contains personal information you are not authorized to provide.
7. Saved Information and Backups
Plant records, photos, notes, reminders, and preferences may be stored locally on your device. Local data may be lost if you delete the App, reset or replace your device, change settings, or experience device or software failure. Unless the App expressly provides a backup or synchronization feature, you are responsible for keeping copies of information important to you.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the App for illegal, harmful, fraudulent, abusive, or infringing purposes;
- interfere with the App, bypass security or access restrictions, introduce malicious code, or attempt unauthorized access;
- misuse subscriptions, purchases, promotional offers, or refund systems;
- use automated methods to scrape or extract the App or its content without written permission;
- submit content that violates another person’s privacy or intellectual-property rights; or
- use the App in a way that harms us, other users, Apple, or a third party.
9. Fees, Purchases, and Subscriptions
The App may offer free features, one-time purchases, or automatically renewing subscriptions. Pricing, duration, trial eligibility, renewal terms, and included features are shown in the App or App Store purchase flow before you confirm a purchase.
Payments are charged to your Apple ID through the Apple App Store after purchase confirmation. An automatically renewing subscription renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in accordance with Apple’s rules. Your account may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID subscription settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. Refund requests are handled by Apple under its policies, including through reportaproblem.apple.com; we do not control Apple’s refund decisions.
10. Third-Party Services
The App may rely on or link to categories of third-party services, including Apple platform and payment services, AI processing providers, cloud storage, hosting and API infrastructure, analytics and attribution providers, diagnostics and performance providers, weather services, notification services, and support providers.
When you request an AI feature, selected photos, plant information, questions, and relevant context may be transmitted to third-party AI processing providers to generate identification, diagnosis, care guidance, or consultation responses, as explained in our Privacy Policy. Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their independent availability, content, or conduct.
11. Availability and Updates
We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, compatible with every device or operating-system version, or available in every country. Updates may be required to continue using the App. We may modify or discontinue all or part of the App, subject to applicable law.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” We disclaim all express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, availability, and non-infringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of plants, crops, data, profits, subscriptions, business, or goodwill arising from or related to the App.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability will be limited to the amount you paid for the App or its subscriptions during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or the minimum amount permitted by applicable law. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.
14. Apple-Specific Terms
These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content, maintenance, support, and claims, except as required by law. Apple has no warranty obligation for the App other than any refund remedy required under App Store terms.
You represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to applicable embargoes or sanctions and are not listed on a prohibited or restricted-party list. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
15. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, misuse the App, or create legal, security, or operational risk. Termination does not automatically cancel an App Store subscription; you must cancel it through your Apple ID settings.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App, law, or our operations. Revised Terms will be posted with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use after the revised Terms take effect means you accept them, where permitted by law.
17. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the Developer’s jurisdiction, excluding conflict-of-law principles, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your place of residence provides otherwise. Before starting formal proceedings, you and we agree to attempt to resolve disputes through written notice and good-faith discussion.
18. General Terms
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement regarding the App unless additional terms are presented to you.
