Terms of service

Routine Garden is operated by [YOUR LEGAL NAME] in [COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE]. References to "we", "us", or "Routine Garden" refer to that operator. References to "you" mean the adult using the service (and, where relevant, the family they manage).

Routine Garden is a web app + PWA for tracking daily routines visualised as a plant garden. We aim to keep it running, beautiful, and gentle. We do not provide medical, mental-health, therapeutic, or clinical advice. If you need professional support for mental or physical health, please consult a qualified provider.

The service is provided as-is. We may add, change, or remove features at our discretion. We'll give reasonable notice for material changes that affect paying users.

You sign in with a magic link sent to your email. You're responsible for keeping access to that email account. We don't store passwords. If you lose access to your email, recovery is best-effort — contact support@routinegarden.app and we'll help where we can verify identity.

You must be 18 or older to create an account — subscriptions require the legal capacity to enter a contract. Children do not create accounts and do not sign in. A child can participate only as a profile inside a family that a parent or guardian (18+) creates and controls; the parent is the account holder. See the Privacy page for how children's information is handled (COPPA).

• Seedling (free) — 1 person, 3 routines. Free forever. No card required.
• Bloom — $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Unlimited routines, full plant library, weekly recap card.
• Family — $6.99/month or $39.99/year. Everything in Bloom, up to 6 family members, family-garden view.
• Founding Gardener— $99 one-time, first 50 customers only. Lifetime access to all Family features. "Lifetime" means the operating life of the service. If we shut the service down, founding members get advance notice and a full data export but no refund.

Prices include VAT/sales tax where applicable (via Stripe Tax). Prices may change with at least 30 days' email notice; you can cancel before the change takes effect.

Bloom and Family include a 7-day free trial. We email you 24 hours before the trial endswith a heads-up about the upcoming charge. If you don't cancel before the trial ends, the subscription renews automatically at the listed price.

Monthly plans auto-renew monthly; annual plans auto-renew annually. You can cancel at any time in Settings → Plan → Manage. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you keep access until then.

US customers: there's no statutory cooling-off period for digital subscriptions, so we don't offer refunds for partial periods. Cancel anytime — your cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you keep access until then.

EU consumers have a 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Rights Directive. By starting your subscription you expressly request immediate access and acknowledge that you waive this cooling-off right once we begin providing the digital service. You may still cancel future renewals at any time.

We'll consider goodwill refunds case-by-case for genuine billing mistakes or service issues. Email support@routinegarden.app.

You agree not to:

• Use Routine Garden to harass, threaten, or harm others (including other family members on your plan).
• Attempt to access another account, bypass rate limits, or probe the service for vulnerabilities outside a responsible-disclosure process.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or resell the service.
• Use the service in violation of any applicable law.
• Submit content that is illegal, infringing, or violates anyone's rights.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these rules. We'll tell you what rule was broken unless legal process restricts it.

By design, Routine Garden does not run ads, sell your data, integrate gambling mechanics, recommend or play music as a core feature, or require photo uploads. We don't share data with processors not listed in the Privacy page.

The Routine Garden name, design, plant illustrations, and code are owned by us. You retain ownership of your content (routines, completions, display name). By using the service you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process that content solely to provide the service. We will not use your routines for marketing, training models, or any purpose beyond serving you.

The service is provided as-is and as-available. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement).

We're not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms is capped at the greater of (a) USD 100 or (b) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

You agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the service. This doesn't apply if the claim is caused by our own breach.

We aim for high availability but don't guarantee uninterrupted service. Downtime, maintenance, and outages happen. We're not liable for failures caused by events outside our reasonable control (e.g. cloud-provider outages, natural disasters, government action).

You can delete your account in Settings at any time — your data is removed immediately and permanently per the Privacy page. We can suspend or terminate your account for material breach of these terms with reasonable notice (immediate notice for unlawful use or abuse).

We'll email you on material changes. Continued use after notice counts as acceptance. The version date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.

These terms are governed by the laws of [COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will first be addressed informally — email privacy@routinegarden.app and we'll respond within 30 days. Where mandatory consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your own country of residence, that right is unaffected.

[FOUNDER NOTE: governing law is set to your country of residence while you operate as an individual. Once you incorporate (e.g. a US LLC via Stripe Atlas to sell to US customers), revisit this clause and re-paper with your entity's home jurisdiction.]

If any provision of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a right doesn't waive it. These terms (plus the Privacy page) are the entire agreement between us about the service. You may not transfer these terms to anyone else; we may transfer them to a successor entity on reasonable notice.
