You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload any content, including photos, that you add to the Service.

6. Plant Identification Service

The plant identification feature uses AI technology provided by PlantNet. Please be aware that:

  • Identifications are suggestions and may not always be accurate
  • You should verify identifications before making decisions, especially regarding edibility or toxicity
  • We are not liable for any harm resulting from reliance on plant identifications
  • Never consume plants based solely on AI identification

7. Gardening Advice Disclaimer

Gardiflora provides general gardening information and task suggestions. This information is for guidance only and should not be considered professional horticultural advice. Gardening conditions vary by location, climate, and individual circumstances. We are not responsible for plant loss, garden damage, or other outcomes resulting from following suggestions in the app.

8. Content Generation Disclosure

The plant information, gardening tasks, and educational content in Gardiflora were researched and generated with the assistance of generative AI tools, then reviewed for accuracy. Where possible, we display original sources for the information shown so you can verify and explore further.

While we strive for accuracy, this content is provided for general guidance and should not replace professional horticultural advice. We do not claim exclusive copyright over AI-generated portions of this content.

9. Intellectual Property

The Gardiflora name, logo, and all related graphics, user interface, and software are owned by or licensed to us. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on our intellectual property without written permission.

10. Third-Party Services

Gardiflora integrates with third-party services (PlantNet, Google, Supabase). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services.

11. Service Availability

We strive to keep Gardiflora available and functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service with reasonable notice when possible.

12. Subscriptions and Payments

Gardiflora offers an optional paid subscription, Bloom, which unlocks premium features. Some features of the Service are free to use, while others require an active Bloom subscription.

Pricing. The price of a subscription is shown on the purchase screen before you confirm, in your local currency. Prices may vary by country and platform and may change over time. We do not list prices in these terms because the purchase screen always shows the current, applicable price.

Auto-renewal. Bloom is an auto-renewable subscription. It renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel before the current period ends. Your account is charged when you confirm the purchase and again at the start of each renewal period.

Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time:

  • Purchases made through the Apple App Store: in your Apple account settings. To avoid renewal, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
  • Purchases made through the Google Play Store: in your Google Play account settings.
  • Purchases made on the web: through your account or by contacting us.

Cancelling stops future renewals. You keep access to premium features until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Free trials and introductory offers. If a free trial or introductory offer is available, its terms are shown at the point of purchase. If you subscribe during a free trial, any unused portion of the trial ends when the paid subscription begins.

Price changes. If we change the subscription price, we will notify you in advance as required by the relevant platform. If you do not accept the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect.

Refunds. For purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective policies. For purchases made on the web, contact us at support@gardiflora.app.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
  • Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the past 12 months
  • We are not liable for data loss; you are responsible for backing up important information

14. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms or engage in harmful behavior.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

16. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Belgium. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Belgium. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you retain the protection of mandatory provisions of your country of residence.
