1. General Terms

1.1 Service Purpose

The Services are designed to support gardening in the northern hemisphere in regions with four distinct seasons or where frost limits year-round growing. Timing recommendations for sowing, planting, and harvesting are based on seasonal cycles with frost periods and may not be suitable for tropical or frost-free climates.

You agree not to use the Services to:

  • Violate any laws or regulations

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms.

All data saved in the Services may be analysed and used by us to improve the Services for users.

By installing and using the Services, you agree that we may send you push notifications on your device. These notifications may include reminders, tips, gardening advice, feature updates, and offers from us or our partners. You can manage or disable push notifications at any time through your device settings.

1.5 Content Moderation

We reserve the right to remove any saved information that does not align with the Services' purpose (gardening). Normally, you will be notified and given the opportunity to correct the issue before removal. In cases of suspected illegal use, we may notify authorities without prior notice. We reserve the right to block or remove users who abuse the Services, with prior notification where reasonable.

1.6 License to Use the Services (EULA)

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for personal gardening support, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer the Services.

1.7 User Content & Intellectual Property

Our Service allows you to post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, data, photographs, video, text, sound, software, graphics, messages, posts, comments, or other material ("Content"). You are responsible for the Content that you post to the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness.

By posting Content to the Service, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, use, reproduce, modify, and display such Content only for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Services. This license ends when you delete your Content from the Services, except to the extent copies are required to be retained for legal, backup, or operational purposes.

You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights. You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms.

You represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) or you have the right to use it and grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.

As a neutral facilitator, Grow your own Nordic AB is not directly involved in the actual interactions between users of the Service. As a result, Grow your own Nordic AB has no control over the truth, accuracy, quality, legality, or safety of postings made by users of the Service. You shall at all time exercise common sense and good judgment when dealing with any user of the Service.

You agree that the Content you send, upload, communicate, transmit, distribute, display, use, submit, or otherwise make available, and your use of the Service:

  • Is true and accurate and not false or misleading

We strive to make the Services accessible to users with disabilities. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us at contact@growtoeat.app so we can improve your experience.

1.9 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with Swedish law. For users in the EU/EEA, mandatory consumer protection laws and courts in your country of residence will apply. For users outside the EU/EEA, unless prohibited by mandatory local law, disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Solna, Sweden.

2. Agreement Duration, Cancellation & Refunds

2.1 Agreement Formation

These Terms form part of the agreement between us and you as a user.

2.2 Term Duration

The Terms apply from the day you begin using the Services and continue until terminated.

2.3 Termination Rights

Either party may terminate the agreement immediately if the other breaches Terms, is insolvent, or engages in criminal activity related to the agreement.

2.4 Post-Termination Obligations

Upon termination, you agree to immediately cease use of the Services.

2.5 Subscription Management

Some features are subscription-based ("Subscription(s)"). Payments are handled via Apple iTunes, Google Play, or directly on our website.

An Apple iTunes or Google account is required to process payment for app store subscriptions. Subscriptions are paid in advance on a recurring basis ("Billing Cycle").

At the end of each Billing Cycle, the Subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off in your app store account at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

You may cancel your Subscription renewal at any time through your app store subscription settings or account settings on our website, in which case your membership will still be valid for the Billing Cycle you have already paid for.

2.6 Right of Withdrawal & Free Trial

Under EU consumer protection law, you normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. By starting to use the Services (e.g., logging in and accessing features) before the end of this period, you expressly consent to immediate access and acknowledge that you thereby waive your withdrawal right once use has begun.

If a free trial is offered: You may cancel anytime during the free trial without charge. After the trial ends and your paid Subscription begins, the 14-day withdrawal right is waived upon first use of the Services.

If no free trial is offered: The 14-day right to cancel applies only if you have not accessed the Services after purchase.

For Subscriptions purchased through Apple iTunes or Google Play: Refund requests must be submitted directly through those platforms in accordance with their respective refund policies. We cannot process refunds for third-party platform purchases.

2.7 Fee Changes

We, in our sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.

We will provide you with at least 30 days' notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to cancel your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

If you do not agree to the new fee, you may cancel before it takes effect. If you do not cancel, your Subscription will automatically renew at the new price, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of the new fees.

2.8 Service Closure Rights

We reserve the right to discontinue or permanently close the Services if it is no longer feasible to provide them (e.g. due to financial, operational, or legal reasons). In such cases, we will provide reasonable advance notice where possible, and ensure access continues until the end of your current paid billing period, unless prohibited by circumstances beyond our control.

If the Services are discontinued, no further payments will be collected after closure, and any prepaid fees for unused periods will be refunded where required by applicable law.
