Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the HabitatTracker Android app and the services at www.habitattracker.co.uk (together, the "Service"), operated by Stockulate Ltd, company number 15893175, registered at 12 Lansbury Road, Sutton-In-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, NG17 5DL, United Kingdom. By installing or using HabitatTracker, you agree to these terms.

1. Accepting these terms

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By creating an account you confirm that you are 13 or over, that the information you provide is accurate, and that you'll keep your account credentials confidential.

2. Your account

You are responsible for activity that happens under your account. One account per person. You must notify us at ashgreggors@gmail.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorisation.

3. Subscriptions and billing

• The free tier is free forever, with the limits described in the app and on our pricing page.
• The Pro subscription is £3.99 per month, billed through Google Play. It auto-renews each month until you cancel it in your Google Play account settings.
• We do not issue partial-month refunds when you cancel mid-cycle. You retain Pro access until the end of the paid period.
• Refund requests for Google Play purchases are handled by Google under their refund policy.
• We may change subscription pricing. If we do, we'll give at least 30 days' notice before the change takes effect for existing subscribers.

4. Acceptable use

Don't:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the app's source code (except where UK law allows).
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the Service.
• Upload unlawful content — including anything that depicts or facilitates the abuse of children, animals, or any other illegal activity.
• Use the AI care assistant to generate content that is off-topic, abusive, or designed to circumvent its safety guidelines.
• Attempt to access other users' data, interfere with the Service, or probe it for vulnerabilities without our written consent.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of the animal records, photos, logs, notes, and prey inventory you put into the Service. You grant Stockulate Ltd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display, and process that content solely to provide the Service to you. We do not use your content to train AI models. When you delete your account, your content is removed in line with our privacy policy.

6. AI care assistant — limits

The AI care assistant is powered by third-party large language models. Its replies can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Treat every response as a starting point for your own research and, where appropriate, a conversation with a qualified exotic-species veterinarian. We are not liable for outcomes resulting from decisions you take based on the assistant's output.

7. Third-party services

The Service depends on Google Play (billing and distribution), Firebase (authentication, storage, crash reports), Anthropic (the AI model), and ApiNinjas (species metadata). Their own terms apply when you interact with them, and we are not responsible for their actions.

8. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these terms, if we're required to by law, or if your use of the Service creates a security or safety risk. You may delete your account at any time via the in-app settings or by emailing us — see Manage your data.

9. No warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

10. Liability

Our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in that period, or (b) £50. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profits, loss of data, or losses arising from your reliance on the AI care assistant.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited under UK law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute will be heard by the courts of England and Wales, save that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

12. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. If the changes are material, we'll give you reasonable notice in-app or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
