Terms of Service

Product Name: PlantGuard

Application ID: com.simz.plantpal

Effective Date: May 20, 2026

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

Welcome to PlantGuard. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using our mobile application (“App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Apple Licensed Application: Your use of the App on Apple devices is also subject to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA), except where these Terms provide additional or clearer rules specific to PlantGuard.

Operator: wei li · Support: simzdevelop@163.com


1. Eligibility

You must meet the minimum age shown for PlantGuard in the App Store in your region (see the app’s Age Rating on the product page). By using the App, you represent that you meet that requirement. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the consent of a parent or guardian.


2. The Service

PlantGuard provides tools to identify plants from photos, run AI-assisted health diagnosis, track plants in My Garden, and view in-app tips and reference content. Features may change as we release updates.

Current version (please note): Garden items and diagnosis history viewed during a session are stored in app memory unless and until we offer optional account, cloud sync, or similar features and obtain any additional consent required by law. When live identification or diagnosis is enabled, plant photos you submit may be processed on our servers and by AI partners as described in our Privacy Policy. In demo or offline mode, results may come from bundled sample content without sending your photos to our servers.


3. Account & User Conduct

Unless we explicitly offer sign-in, you may use the App without creating a named account. The App may create an anonymous technical identifier so cloud features can operate. If we later offer full accounts, additional rules may apply and we will update these Terms.

You agree that you will not:

You are responsible for activity performed on your device under your control (for example, photos you submit and plants you add to your garden).


4. Not Professional Advice

PlantGuard may display species names, care suggestions, health assessments, and informational tips. None of this is professional horticultural, agricultural, medical, or pest-control advice. Identification and diagnosis results may be incorrect or incomplete. Do not ingest plants or apply treatments based solely on App output. For decisions that affect health, safety, property, or the environment, consult a qualified professional.


5. Subscriptions & Payments

The current version of the App does not offer paid subscriptions or in-app purchases. No subscription or purchase fees apply under these Terms for this build.

If we introduce paid features in a future update, they will be offered through the App Store with prices and terms shown at purchase, and we will update these Terms and in-app disclosures before those features go live.


6. Intellectual Property

The App’s software, UI design, branding, and bundled reference content (except where noted) are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from the App or our proprietary assets without prior written consent, except as allowed by mandatory law or the Apple EULA.

Your content: Plant photos you capture or choose, garden entries, and related inputs belong to you, subject to your device backup and these Terms. You grant us only such rights as are necessary to operate the features you choose (for example, processing photos to identify or diagnose a plant, or—if we add sync—processing solely to provide that feature as described in our Privacy Policy).


7. Content & Safety

The App may include tips, sample plants, and reference copy for general informational purposes. If you believe any content is illegal, infringing, or harmful, contact us at simzdevelop@163.com with a clear description and, if applicable, where it appears in the App. We may remove or update content where appropriate.

You must not use the App to generate, store, or distribute unlawful or infringing material through any future sharing features we may offer.


8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of loss of data (for example, if you lose your device, reload the App, or delete it without backup).


9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we (and our affiliates, directors, employees, and partners) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In jurisdictions that do not allow some of the above limitations, our liability is limited to the minimum amount permitted by law. Because the current version is offered without charge, you acknowledge that our aggregate liability for claims relating to the App may be limited accordingly.


10. Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or stop providing the App or any feature where we reasonably believe there is a legal, security, or abuse risk, or as required by law.

You may stop using the App at any time. Uninstalling the App may erase locally stored and in-session data depending on your device and backup settings. If we offer account deletion in the future, we will describe the effect on synced data in the App and in our Privacy Policy.


11. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms with a new “Last updated” date and, where required by law or for material changes, provide additional notice (for example, in the App or on our support page). Continued use of the App after the effective date of changes constitutes your acceptance, unless applicable law requires a different process.


12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your place of residence provide otherwise.
