Terms of Service

By creating a MyGarden account, using the MyGarden iOS application, or visiting mygarden.guru (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is based in California, USA (“MyGarden,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

You must be at least 13 years old to use MyGarden (16 in the European Union, or the minimum digital age of consent in your country, whichever is higher). By using the Service you confirm you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

• You are responsible for activity on your account.
• You must provide accurate sign-up information and keep it current.
• Keep your credentials secure. Notify us at security@mygarden.guru if you suspect unauthorized access.

You may not:

• Use MyGarden to break any applicable law.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where local law expressly permits.
• Probe, scan, or test the Service for vulnerabilities without our written permission.
• Scrape, harvest, or extract data from MyGarden by automated means.
• Upload content you do not have the rights to share.
• Upload unlawful content, including child sexual abuse material, threats, harassment, or infringing material.
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or impair the Service.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

You retain ownership of the photos, notes, and other content you upload (“Your Content”).

By uploading Your Content, you grant MyGarden a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transform, and display Your Content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service — including processing it through AI systems for plant identification, health analysis, and care recommendations.

We do not sell Your Content. We do not use Your Content to train third-party AI models for commercial reuse. When you delete content, our license to that content ends, subject to limited backup retention as described in our Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• MyGarden’s recommendations are informational only and are not a substitute for professional horticultural, veterinary, or medical advice.
• We do not guarantee plant survival, fruit yield, bloom timing, or any specific outcome.
• For poisonous, toxic, or potentially harmful plants — including any plant that might be ingested or come into contact with pets, children, or sensitive individuals — confirm with a qualified horticulturist, your local poison control center, or a veterinarian before relying on MyGarden’s identifications or advice.
• For commercially significant decisions (landscaping investment, harvest planning, allergen management), consult a licensed professional.
• We are not liable for plant loss, property damage, allergic reactions, illness, or any consequence arising from following or not following MyGarden’s recommendations.

MyGarden is currently free to use. We may introduce paid features in the future. If you purchase a subscription or in-app product through the App Store, Apple’s terms apply to the transaction, payment, refunds, and renewal. Pricing, billing cadence, and renewal terms will be displayed in the app before you confirm any purchase.

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time. Where practical we will give reasonable notice of material changes.

MyGarden, the MyGarden name and logo, the website, the iOS app, and the underlying software are the property of Mohammad Sedighi and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Nothing in these Terms grants you a license to use our trademarks or proprietary code, except the limited right to use the app as intended for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may stop using MyGarden and delete your account at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access if you violate these Terms, expose us to legal risk, or for any other reason with reasonable notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content license, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.”

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that plant identifications or care advice will be accurate, that the Service will meet your needs, or that defects will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MyGarden and Mohammad Sedighi will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, plant life, or other intangible losses — arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid MyGarden in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mohammad Sedighi and MyGarden from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) Your Content, or (c) your misuse of the Service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you may also have recourse under your local consumer-protection laws.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. We will notify you of material changes in the app or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Mohammad Sedighi only, not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service.

In the event the iOS app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS app. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
