Registration and Accounts

The Services are intended solely for persons who are 16 years old or such higher age required in your country to use the Services. If you are under the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

Affirmative Representations. When you use the Services you agree: (a) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself (“Member Data”) (b) to maintain and promptly update the Member Data; (c) your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation; and (d) you are of sufficient age or otherwise have legal capacity to legally enter into this Agreement.

You agree that plantsio may use your Member Data to provide Services that you access or use and as otherwise set forth in these Terms. If you provide any Member Data that is inaccurate or not current, or plantsio has reasonable grounds to suspect that such Member Data is inaccurate or not current, plantsio has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse current or future use of the Services.

Your Responsibilities and Security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password associated with your account and for restricting access to your password, your computer and mobile device while logged into the Services. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or from your computer and mobile devices.

We endeavor to use reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your account. We cannot, however, guarantee absolute security of your account, your User Content (as defined below) or the personal information you provide, and we cannot promise that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally accessing the Services or its contents. You agree to immediately notify plantsio of any unauthorized use of your account or password, or any other breach of security, and confirm that you understand all risks of unauthorized access to Member Data and any other information or content you provide to plantsio.

You may register for or log-in to your account via a third-party network, such as Facebook or Google. If you do so, you hereby authorize plantsio to pre-populate the registration and other relevant information fields of your account and/or to use such third-party credentials to log you into your account. If you connect your account to a third-party network, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions and policies applicable to such third party.

By virtue of certain of the Services connecting to the Google Maps API, you hereby agree to be bound by the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service.

User Content

User Content. You own the information, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, posts, tags, or other materials you make available in connection with the Services (“User Content”), whether publicly posted, privately transmitted, or submitted through a third party API (e.g. a photograph submitted via Instagram). Public segments and routes created by using the Services are not considered User Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display any User Content and any name, username or likeness that you post on or in connection with the Services in all media formats and channels now known or later developed without compensation to you. This license ends when you contact us in writing, as described in the “Contact Us” section below, and state that this license is revoked and that we may not use your User Content in new creations or reproductions going forward.

Your Entire Responsibility for Your User Content. You understand that you, and not plantsio, are entirely responsible for all User Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Services. plantsio does not proactively and routinely screen or monitor the User Content posted to the Services by others and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such User Content. plantsio may, in its sole discretion, screen, monitor, refuse or remove any User Content, or remove any User Content that violates the Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to User Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will plantsio be liable in any way for any User Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any User Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any User Content made available on the Services. You agree to bear all risks associated with the use of any User Content available in connection with the Services, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such User Content. You agree that plantsio is not responsible for, and does not endorse, User Content posted on the Services. If your User Content violates these Terms, you may bear legal responsibility for that User Content. As between you and plantsio, any User Content will be non-confidential and non-proprietary and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of Content.

Privacy of Your User Content Determined by Your Settings. The Services may provide you with the ability to mark certain User Content that you submit to the Services as private, public, or available only to select users of the Services. plantsio will maintain the privacy of such User Content in accordance with your elections. However, if you do not elect to mark your User Content as private or available for a limited group of members, or later change such designation to allow such Content to be made available to anyone, you are responsible for the public nature of the content. Please review the Privacy Policy on the respective plantsio Site for more information on how to manage your privacy controls.

Permission to Use Your Profile Name, Likeness. You give us permission to use your profile name, profile photo, and information about your activities and actions you have taken, including your use of third party products, services, or devices, in ads, offers and other commercial contexts on the plantsio service without compensation to you. For example, we may show your plantsio followers that you use a certain device, product, or service available from a brand that has paid us to display its ads on plantsio. You may adjust settings to prevent your profile name and profile photo from appearing in an ad.
