2. Description of the Service
PlantLeafIdentifier allows users to upload plant leaf photos and receive AI-generated feedback with a likely plant identification.
The service includes:
- Image analysis using artificial intelligence.
- A likely common plant name and scientific name based on visible leaf features.
- A concise plant type label.
- A short explanation of the visible leaf clues behind the result.
- A usage-limited access model.
- Optional rewarded advertisements for continued use.
PlantLeafIdentifier is a practical plant identification helper. It is not a professional taxonomy, botanical verification, foraging, edibility, toxicity, or safety tool.
3. User Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Upload only images you have the right to use.
- Use the App only for lawful purposes.
- Not upload illegal, harmful, exploitative, intimate, or inappropriate content.
- Not misuse the service or attempt to bypass usage limits or restrictions.
- Use your own judgment before relying on a result for important plant-related decisions.
You are responsible for the content you submit and for any actions you take based on the App's output.
4. Content Restrictions
We may refuse to process images that:
- Do not contain a visible plant leaf.
- Do not show enough leaf detail to make a meaningful identification.
- Appear to contain leaves from multiple unrelated plant species.
- Are too blurred, dark, obstructed, distant, or low resolution to analyze.
- Contain artificial leaves, non-plant objects, screenshots, memes, drawings, or unsupported content.
- Contain unsupported, inappropriate, illegal, or harmful content.
- Otherwise violate these Terms.
We reserve the right to block or reject content at our discretion to maintain safe and appropriate use of the service.
5. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
The feedback provided by the App is generated by artificial intelligence.
- Results may be inaccurate, incomplete, or uncertain.
- The feedback is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
- It is not professional botanical, taxonomic, edibility, toxicity, foraging, or safety advice.
- The App cannot guarantee that a plant is correctly identified or safe for any specific use.
You should not rely on PlantLeafIdentifier as your only source for important plant identification decisions. For high-stakes identifications, rare plants, protected species, foraging, toxicity, legal, property, or safety questions, consult a qualified expert or trusted plant reference.
6. No Guarantees
We do not guarantee that:
- The App will identify any plant correctly.
- The App will identify every plant species, cultivar, hybrid, or variety.
- Any result will be suitable for safety, foraging, property, ecological, legal, or professional decisions.
- The App will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.
Plant identification can depend on details that may not be visible in a single leaf photo.
7. Credits, Free Uses, and Rewarded Ads
The App may include free monthly uses, credits, or other usage limits.
After free uses are exhausted, additional identifications may be unlocked by watching rewarded advertisements where available.
Credits, free uses, and rewarded-ad availability may change at any time. We may refuse, revoke, or adjust credits where necessary to prevent abuse, fraud, technical errors, or misuse.
8. Your Content
You retain any rights you have in photos you submit.
By submitting content, you grant us the limited rights needed to process the content, generate results, operate the App, provide history and support features, maintain security, and enforce these Terms.
You must not submit content that you do not have permission to use.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we process data. By using the App, you acknowledge that data will be processed as described in the Privacy Policy, including processing by third-party providers such as OpenAI and Google Mobile Ads where applicable.
10. Third-Party Services
The App may use third-party services, including AI processing providers, hosting providers, analytics or monitoring tools, and advertising providers.
Those services may have their own terms, policies, and processing practices. We are not responsible for third-party services except as required by applicable law.

- Use outputs as professional advice or as a substitute for expert judgment.
12. Changes and Availability
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for loss of plants, property, data, profits, goodwill, or opportunities arising from use of the App.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
