PlantDNA Terms of Service

Last updated: 14 June 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the PlantDNA mobile app ("App"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms.

The service

PlantDNA lets you take or select photos of a plant to receive an identification, general care tips, and general information about whether the plant may be harmful to pets or children. Identification is provided by third-party plant identification services and may not always be accurate.

Not medical, veterinary, or emergency advice. The information provided by PlantDNA, including toxicity information, is for general informational purposes only and may be incomplete or incorrect. It is not a substitute for professional advice. If a person or pet has ingested any part of a plant, or you suspect poisoning, contact a doctor, vet, NHS 111 (UK), or Poison Control immediately — do not rely on the App in an emergency.

Accuracy of results

Plant identification is probabilistic and can be wrong, especially from a single or unclear photo. Always independently verify a plant's identity and safety information — particularly before assuming a plant is safe — using a qualified professional or trusted reference source.

Free usage and scan credits

The App provides a limited number of free identifications per day. Additional identifications can be unlocked by purchasing scan credit packs. Credits are non-expiring but are tied to the anonymous device identifier generated by the App; reinstalling the App or clearing app data may reset this identifier and any associated free-usage counters, and in some cases may affect access to previously purchased credits.

If you purchased on iOS: purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's refund policy. To request a refund, visit Apple's "Request a refund" page or use the Report a Problem feature in your purchase history.

If you purchased on Android: purchases are processed by Google through Google Play and are subject to Google's refund policy. To request a refund, visit Google Play's refund help page or request a refund directly from the Google Play Store app within the eligible window.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including any harm resulting from reliance on plant identification or toxicity information provided by the App.

Changes to the App or these Terms

We may update the App and these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
