1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Garden-to-Table Companion mobile application ("App") operated by Built by Foundry, Inc. ("BBF"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms generally and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please uninstall the App.However, the Arbitration Agreement, class-action waiver, and jury-trial waiver apply only if you affirmatively accept them through an unchecked checkbox and acceptance control presented with links to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Merely downloading, installing, accessing, or continuing to use the App does not constitute acceptance of the Arbitration Agreement.Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use Garden-to-Table Companion. If you're 13-17, review these Terms with a parent or guardian.2. About Garden-to-Table Companion
Garden-to-Table Companion helps home gardeners build a personalized plan, see timely garden actions, record plant history, run guided Plant Health checks, and use or preserve a harvest in Kitchen. It is built with Matthew Gauger of Greenhorn Grove Farm. Kitchen and community features support the garden journey; livestock is not a primary product function.Gardening and Plant Health Limitations: Garden-to-Table Companion is an educational planning and reference tool. Plant Health is not a laboratory diagnosis and does not guarantee identification, diagnosis, cure, yield, safety, or outcome. Photos can hide important details, automated results can be incomplete or wrong, and garden conditions vary. The App may show confidence, request more information, or decline to give a result. Consult a local extension service or qualified professional when the risk is significant. Before applying any pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, fertilizer, biological treatment, or home remedy, read and follow the product label, local law, crop restrictions, protective-equipment requirements, and harvest interval. The label controls if App guidance conflicts with it.
Food and Preservation Safety: Recipes and Kitchen features are educational and are not professional food-safety, nutrition, or medical advice. Canning, fermentation, dairy, and preservation can carry serious risks. Follow current USDA or local extension guidance, use tested processes where appropriate, and do not eat or serve food you believe may be unsafe.
Community Content: Posts, photos, replies, recipes, and advice from members are user content, not professional advice from BBF or Matthew Gauger. We provide reporting and moderation tools but cannot review every item before it appears. Do not rely on community content for high-risk plant treatment, chemical use, food safety, medical, legal, or financial decisions.
3. Accounts
The App may let you use it without an account or may offer sign-in through the App, Apple, Google, or another provider. You must provide accurate information, keep your device and credentials secure, and promptly report unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity through your account unless applicable law says otherwise.4. Premium Subscriptions and Billing
Price, billing period, trial terms, and renewal details appear on the purchase screen before you confirm. The app store processes payment and controls cancellation and refunds under its rules and applicable law. Unless the purchase screen says otherwise, a subscription renews automatically until canceled through your app-store account and access continues through the paid period after cancellation.Garden-to-Table Companion Plus may unlock additional Plant Health checks, the full recipe library, and other premium features. The product, price, trial length (if any), billing period, renewal terms, benefits, and cancellation details shown on the purchase screen control. Apple or Google handles billing, cancellation, and refunds under its rules, subject to rights that applicable law does not allow you to waive.5. App Stores and Third-Party Services
Apple App Store: If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, your license to the App is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple Standard EULA"). These Terms govern BBF accounts, subscriptions, server-side services, content, and conduct. They supplement the Apple Standard EULA but do not amend, replace, or supersede it. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA concerning the App license, warranties, External Services, termination, damages exclusions, or limitation of liability, the Apple Standard EULA controls. Nothing in these Terms increases BBF’s obligations or liability under the Apple Standard EULA.Google Play and any other distribution platform's applicable terms also apply. Third-party services have their own terms and privacy practices. BBF is not responsible for services BBF does not control.6. User Content
You keep ownership of the photos, posts, comments, recipes, notes, and other content you create. You grant BBF the limited rights needed to host, store, analyze, display, and process that content to provide the feature you selected. Private garden, Kitchen, and Plant Health content is processed to operate your account. When you publish to the Kitchen Table, you grant BBF a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and share that post inside the App. Optional Plant Health evaluation consent permits private quality review; it is not a marketing license.Matthew Gauger's videos, recipes, guides, photos, and teaching content are licensed for personal, non-commercial use inside the App. You may not extract, redistribute, repackage, or sell them.Do not publish unlawful, infringing, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, dangerous, deceptive, or privacy-invasive content. Do not present unsafe treatment or food guidance as certain fact. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules.You may delete posts or request account deletion. Account records are handled as described in the Privacy Policy, subject to temporary backups and records the law permits or requires us to retain.7. Seed Offers and Affiliate Relationships
The App may show third-party seed or garden-supply offers selected for a crop and territory. These offers are clearly labeled. BBF or Greenhorn Grove may earn an affiliate commission if you purchase after following a link, without changing the price shown by the supplier. Supplier payment never buys influence over Grow Guide or Plant Health advice. Availability, inventory, shipping, quality, returns, warranties, and the final transaction are controlled by the supplier under its own terms. Verify variety, quantity, planting zone, restrictions, and suitability before buying.8. Protected Content and Prohibited Uses
You may not scrape the App or use the App, its data, or Matthew Gauger's videos, recipes, guides, photos, or teaching content to build a competing product. BBF, Greenhorn Grove, and their licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the App and protected content. These restrictions supplement the license supplied by the applicable app store and do not replace or modify it.9. Prohibited Conduct
Don't: reverse engineer the App, attempt unauthorized access, use bots or scrapers, share account credentials, distribute abusive content, violate laws, interfere with the App's operation, or commercially exploit App content.We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.10. Intellectual Property
BBF and its licensors own the App, trademarks, and provided content. For an App obtained through the Apple App Store, the Apple Standard EULA supplies your license to the App; these Terms do not grant a separate or broader App license. For an App distributed through another platform, BBF grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the App as permitted by these Terms and that platform's rules. No other rights are granted.11. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the App. Where practical, we will give reasonable notice. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and disputes—will survive.12. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify BBF and its directors, officers, employees, and partners from third-party claims arising from your unlawful misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or content you submit. This does not require you to indemnify anyone for their own negligence or unlawful conduct.13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available." BBF disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. BBF does not promise the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its content will always be accurate.To the fullest extent permitted by law, BBF will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or use.Apple-distributed Apps: To the fullest extent permitted by law, BBF’s total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to an App obtained through the Apple App Store, its related services, these Terms, or the Apple Standard EULA—taken together under all legal theories—will not exceed the lesser of (a) $50 USD or (b) any lower aggregate limit provided by the Apple Standard EULA. This is one combined aggregate limit, not a separate limit under each agreement, claim, or theory. Nothing in these Terms increases or supplements the liability available under the Apple Standard EULA.Other platforms and services: For claims unrelated to an Apple-distributed App, BBF’s total aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid for the applicable service during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.These exclusions do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable. Your non-waivable consumer rights remain in effect.If you experience harm related to App content, report it to support@builtbyfoundry.io. BBF will investigate and take appropriate action.14. Dispute Resolution
Before starting a formal claim, send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to support@builtbyfoundry.io . The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. Either party may still seek urgent injunctive relief when necessary.US Residents
Applicability and affirmative acceptance: This Arbitration Agreement applies only if you are an adult user in the United States and BBF’s records demonstrate that you affirmatively accepted this version through the acceptance process described above. If BBF cannot produce that record, neither party is required to arbitrate under these Terms, and the class-action and jury-trial waivers in this section do not apply.Individual arbitration: Except for an eligible individual small claims case or a claim for injunctive relief concerning misuse of intellectual property, any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this clause. The hearing may occur by video, in your county, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies as a court.Class and jury waiver: You and BBF waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or participate in a class, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general action. If a court finally finds the class-action waiver unenforceable for a particular claim, only that claim may proceed in court.Opt-Out: Email support@builtbyfoundry.io within 30 days after the date you affirmatively accepted this Arbitration Agreement, with "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject line. Include the email address or other account identifier you used when accepting so BBF can match your notice.Users outside the United States
The arbitration and class-waiver terms in this section do not apply to users outside the United States. You may bring a claim in the courts where you live and retain any non-waivable local consumer protections.Governing law
Delaware law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration and mandatory law where you live may still apply.15. Assignment and Corporate Transactions
BBF may assign or transfer these Terms and any rights or obligations under them, in whole or in part, without your consent, to an affiliate or successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, change of control, sale of the App or relevant business line, sale of all or substantially all relevant assets, or operation of law. Any assignee will take these Terms subject to the obligations applicable to it, and BBF will provide any notice required by law. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without BBF’s prior written consent. Any attempted transfer contrary to this section is void. Any transfer of personal information remains subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.16. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms as the App or law changes. We will post the revised Terms and update the date above. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will give reasonable advance notice where required. Changes apply prospectively. If you do not agree, stop using the App before the revised Terms take effect. A revised Arbitration Agreement applies only if you affirmatively accept that version through the acceptance process described above.17. Contact Information
