Terms of Service

Last updated: March 20, 2026

1. Agreement to These Terms

By downloading, installing, or using LeafLog (the "App"), developed and operated by Mikasa Labs LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "Company"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Mikasa Labs LLC. Your continued use of the App signifies your acceptance of these Terms and any updates.

2. The App

LeafLog is a plant care companion application for Android that allows users to track plants, set care reminders, log activities with photos, and export data. The App stores all user data locally on the device. The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the App at any time without notice or liability, including features available in the free or premium versions.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the free version of the App. You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract under applicable law to make in-app purchases. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree NOT to:

  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any aspect of the App
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or its systems
  • Modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App
  • Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices in the App
  • Use the App for any commercial purpose not authorized by these Terms
  • Distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices simultaneously

5. Premium Subscriptions

5.1 Subscription Features

LeafLog offers premium subscription plans that provide additional features, including ad-free use. Premium features and pricing are displayed within the App and may change at any time without notice.

5.2 Payment Processing

All subscriptions are processed through Google Play Billing. By subscribing, you agree to Google Play's Terms of Service. We do not directly process or store your payment information.

5.3 Subscription Management

Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through Google Play Store settings on your device.

5.4 Refunds

Refund requests are handled by Google Play in accordance with their refund policy. We do not process refunds directly. For refund inquiries, visit Google Play's support page or contact us for assistance.

6. Advertising

The free version of LeafLog displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. By using the free version, you acknowledge that:

  • Ads will be displayed within the App
  • AdMob may collect device data for ad targeting and measurement as described in our Privacy Policy
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising through your device's ad settings
  • You can remove ads by subscribing to a premium plan

You agree not to click on advertisements for the purpose of generating fraudulent ad revenue, and not to interfere with the display or functionality of advertisements.

7. Reminders and Notifications

LeafLog provides care reminders as a convenience feature. Reminders are not guaranteed to be delivered at the exact scheduled time on every device. Factors that may affect reminder delivery include:

  • Device battery optimization and power-saving modes
  • Manufacturer-specific background process restrictions (OEM battery policies)
  • Device restarts (reminders are rescheduled but timing may shift)
  • Operating system updates that change alarm behavior
  • Notification permissions being revoked

You are solely responsible for your plant care decisions. LeafLog provides suggestions and reminders, not professional horticultural advice. We are not liable for any damage to plants resulting from missed or delayed reminders.

8. User Content

8.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership of all content you create within the App, including plant profiles, photos, notes, and care logs. Since all content is stored locally on your device, you maintain complete control over it.

8.2 Backup and Export

You are responsible for backing up your data. While LeafLog provides an export feature, we are not responsible for data loss resulting from device failure, App uninstallation, clearing App data, or any other cause.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Our Rights

The App, including its design, code, branding, logos, and content, is owned by Mikasa Labs LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9.2 Limited License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a single Android device for personal, non-commercial purposes only, subject to these Terms.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mikasa Labs LLC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to:

  • Your use or misuse of the App

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the App that cannot be resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in the state where Mikasa Labs LLC is registered, unless otherwise agreed.

YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

16.4 Exceptions

Either party may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights. Small claims court actions are also exempt from the arbitration requirement.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for resolution of any disputes.

18. Termination

18.1 By You

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Termination of your use does not entitle you to a refund of any subscription payments.

We reserve the right to discontinue the App or revoke your license to use it at any time, with or without cause or notice. We may also remove the App from distribution platforms.

18.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the App immediately ceases. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

19. General Provisions

19.1 Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and may provide additional notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Evolving Terms: Legal requirements and industry standards continue to evolve. We commit to updating these Terms to maintain compliance with new laws and regulations as they come into effect.

19.2 Severability

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mikasa Labs LLC regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

19.5 Assignment
