Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using PlantPal ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the App.

2. Description of Service

PlantPal is a houseplant care tracking application that helps users manage watering schedules, care tasks, health monitoring, and photo documentation for their plants. The App is designed for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Free and Premium Features

PlantPal offers both free and premium features:

• Free features: Plant profiles, watering tracking, care tasks, health logging, photo timeline, notifications, iCloud sync, JSON data export, and Sign in with Apple
• PlantPal Pro (Premium): A one-time in-app purchase ($2.99 USD) that unlocks additional features including smart care tips, analytics dashboard, PDF plant reports, photo growth comparison, batch watering, and CSV export

Premium features are clearly marked within the App. The one-time purchase grants permanent access to all Pro features — there are no recurring charges or subscriptions.

4. In-App Purchases

All in-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. By making a purchase:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase
• The purchase is non-consumable — you pay once and keep access permanently
• You can restore your purchase on any device signed into the same Apple ID
• Refund requests must be made through Apple's App Store support
• We do not have access to your payment information

5. Sign in with Apple

PlantPal offers optional Sign in with Apple for account recovery and iCloud sync facilitation. By using this feature, you agree to Apple's terms for Sign in with Apple. The feature is entirely optional and the App is fully functional without it.

12. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

13. Termination

You may stop using PlantPal at any time by deleting the App from your device. In-app purchases remain tied to your Apple ID and can be restored if you reinstall the App.

14. Apple Terms

These terms are in addition to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). In the event of a conflict, Apple's EULA takes precedence for matters related to App Store distribution.
