Verdica is an educational and informational plant knowledge platform. The App provides:
The App provides information services only. Plant identifications, traditional use references, interaction data, and AI-generated responses are informational outputs — not products, medical devices, or professional services. The App does not manufacture, compound, dispense, or prescribe any substance. (See Garcia v. Character Technologies, Inc., M.D. Fla. 2025, for evolving standards on software classification.)
You must be at least 13 years of age to use this App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

The App requires a one-time purchase price of $4.99 USD through the Google Play Store. This purchase grants you a personal, non-transferable license to install and use the App on devices associated with your Google account. Refunds for the App purchase are governed by Google Play's refund policy. Although payment is processed through Google Play, the contractual relationship for the license to use the App is directly between you and Cat Barn LLC. Google acts solely as payment processor and distributor.
Subscription payments are processed through Google Play Billing (Android app) or Stripe (web). Cat Barn LLC does not directly store or have access to your payment card information. Payment processing is handled entirely by these third-party payment processors.
You may cancel your subscription at any time:
After cancellation, your Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period. Cancellation does not entitle you to a prorated refund.
Refunds for Android app purchases are handled by Google Play in accordance with the Google Play Refund Policy. Refunds for web subscriptions are handled by Stripe in accordance with our refund policy; contact [email protected] to request a refund. Cat Barn LLC does not issue direct refunds outside these channels.
We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' advance notice. Price changes take effect at the start of your next billing period following the notice.
Pro features are subject to reasonable usage limits to ensure service quality. Pro subscribers receive 200 cloud AI camera scans and 200 AI Garden Chat messages per month. Usage resets on the 1st of each calendar month. Excessive automated or abusive usage may result in temporary throttling or account suspension per Section 6.
To use the App, you must sign in with a Google account via Google OAuth 2.0. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
Each user is limited to one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, bans, or billing is prohibited.
You agree NOT to:
Violation of this policy may result in immediate account suspension or termination, at our sole discretion, without refund.

Upon account deletion:
If you have an active Pro subscription, the App will prompt you to cancel your subscription before completing account deletion.

Cat Barn LLC is not responsible for charges incurred after account deletion if you did not cancel your subscription.
Before filing any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in Ada County, Idaho, for disputes within that court's jurisdictional limits, without regard to this dispute resolution section.
Any claim arising from or related to your use of the App must be filed within two (2) years from the date you knew or reasonably should have known of the alleged harm (discovery rule). Claims filed after this period are forever barred.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Health Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Cat Barn LLC regarding the App.
The failure of Cat Barn LLC to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
