1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using the YardWise mobile application ("App") or visiting our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
YardWise is an AI-powered yard and garden care assistant that provides plant identification, pest diagnosis, lawn health analysis, and personalized gardening advice. The service uses artificial intelligence and should not be relied upon as the sole source of horticultural, agricultural, or safety guidance.
3. AI Disclaimer
YardWise uses AI models to analyze images and provide recommendations. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated results may be incorrect or incomplete. You should:
- Verify identifications before consuming any plant identified as edible.
- Consult a local extension office or certified arborist for critical decisions about mature trees or property-affecting plants.
- Exercise caution with pest treatment recommendations, especially around children, pets, and food-producing plants.
YardWise is not liable for actions taken based on AI-generated recommendations.
