Article 2 (Content of the App)

1. The App lets you keep a photo diary and care records for your houseplants.
2. The records you keep in the App (plant information, journal entries, photos, and care logs) are stored on your device (and also in your iCloud, if you have enabled iCloud sync — see the Privacy Policy for details). These records are never sent to any server we operate.

3. Conduct that violates, or may violate, applicable law

Article 4 (Changes, Suspension, and Termination of the Service)

1. We may change the content of the App, or suspend or terminate its provision. If we terminate the provision of the App, we will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice.
2. Features that use our servers — such as submitting an inquiry — may be unavailable due to maintenance, a failure, the suspension of an external service, or other unavoidable circumstances.

Article 5 (Disclaimer; Damages)

1. We do not warrant that the App will be fit for any particular purpose of the user, that it will meet any expected quality, accuracy, or usefulness, or that it will be free of defects.

4. Where we are liable to a user for damages, unless we have acted with intent or gross negligence, the scope of such damages shall be limited to ordinary and direct damages, and shall not include damages arising from special circumstances, lost profits, or indirect damages.
5. Each provision of this Article applies only to the extent it does not conflict with the Consumer Contract Act or other mandatory statutory provisions.

   1. The change conforms to the general interests of users; or
   2. The change does not contradict the purpose of the contract under these Terms, and is reasonable in light of the necessity for the change, the appropriateness of the content after the change, and other circumstances relating to the change.
2. Where we change these Terms under the preceding paragraph, we will set an effective date and will give notice, by the effective date, of the fact that these Terms are being changed, the content of the change, and the effective date, through an in-app display or other appropriate method.
