These terms are the agreement between you and Plantcare for using our apps and website. We have kept them as readable as we can - but they are the binding version, so please give them a moment.
By downloading, accessing or using Plantcare, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app. If you are using Plantcare on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.
You can start using Plantcare without an account, but some features - like syncing and shared gardens - require one. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for activity that happens under your account. Let us know promptly if you suspect unauthorised use.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
We ask that you use Plantcare kindly and lawfully. You agree not to:
If you post to Explore, our public feed, the community guidelines set out the specific rules for what you can share there and how reports and blocking work.
Your plants, photos and notes are yours. You keep all ownership of the content you add.
To run the service, you grant us a limited licence to store, display and process that content - for example, to sync it to your devices, show it to people you have invited to a shared garden, or process a photo to identify a plant. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account.
When you create or join a shared garden, you are choosing to make certain content visible to other members. Invite only people you trust, and share only what you are comfortable with others seeing. You are responsible for the invitations you send and the members you add.
Plant identification and care advice are provided for general guidance only. They can be wrong.
Always use your own judgement, especially regarding toxicity around children and pets. We do not guarantee that any identification is accurate or that following our guidance will keep a plant alive. When in doubt, consult a professional.
Plantcare is free to download with core features included. Optional paid plans unlock extras and are billed through the App Store or Google Play.
Plantcare, its name, logo, design, software and content (other than your content) belong to us and are protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for its intended purpose. Nothing here transfers ownership of our brand or technology to you.
Plantcare is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses or lost data. This includes a plant that does not survive. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
You can stop using Plantcare and delete your account at any time from Settings. We can suspend or end access if these terms are seriously or repeatedly breached. The sections written to survive termination - for example content licences already granted, our rights, and liability - continue after termination.
We can update these terms from time to time. For material changes we will notify you in the app before they take effect. Continued use afterwards means you accept them. These terms are governed by the laws of France, and disputes fall under the jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
