​

ThrivePlot does not guarantee that AI-generated information will always be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your garden.

​

7. Gardening Information Is Educational

ThrivePlot provides gardening information for general educational and informational purposes.

​

Gardening outcomes depend on many factors that ThrivePlot cannot control, including:

​

  • Weather

  • Soil conditions

  • Microclimates

  • Plant varieties

  • Pests

  • Diseases

  • Water quality

  • Irrigation

​

ThrivePlot cannot guarantee:

​

  • Plant survival

  • Germination

  • Crop yields

  • Harvest amounts

  • Pest prevention

  • Disease prevention

  • Successful planting

  • Successful treatment

  • Particular gardening results

​

Gardening always involves judgment, observation, and experimentation.

​

8. Weather Information

ThrivePlot may display or use weather forecasts and weather-related information. Weather information may be obtained from third-party services.

Weather forecasts are inherently uncertain and may differ from actual conditions at your property. You should independently evaluate weather conditions before taking actions that may materially affect your plants, property, animals, or personal safety. 

​

ThrivePlot does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of weather information.

​

9. No Professional Advice

ThrivePlot does not provide professional:

​

  • Agricultural consulting

  • Engineering

  • Environmental consulting

  • Pest-control services

  • Medical advice

  • Veterinary advice

  • Legal advice

  • Financial advice

  • Tax advice

​

Information provided through ThrivePlot should not replace advice from an appropriately qualified professional when professional advice is warranted.

​

10. Safety

You are responsible for safely performing gardening tasks. Always follow product labels and manufacturer instructions when using:

​

  • Fertilizers

  • Pesticides

  • Herbicides

  • Fungicides

  • Soil amendments

  • Garden chemicals

  • Power tools

  • Cutting tools

  • Irrigation equipment

  • Greenhouse equipment

  • Other garden products

​

You are also responsible for determining whether a plant, product, treatment, or gardening activity is appropriate for your circumstances. ThrivePlot is not responsible for injury, property damage, plant loss, animal exposure, or other harm resulting from unsafe gardening practices or improper product use.

​

11. Subscriptions

Certain ThrivePlot features require a paid subscription. Current subscription options may include:

​

Monthly Plan — $4.99 per month

Annual Plan — $49 per year

​

The price displayed during checkout will control if it differs from information shown elsewhere on the site. Applicable taxes may be added where required. We may change subscription prices in the future. Price changes for existing subscribers will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any notice requirements that apply.

​

12. Automatic Renewal

Unless otherwise stated during checkout, paid subscriptions may automatically renew at the end of the applicable billing period until canceled.

For example:

​

  • Monthly subscriptions renew monthly.

  • Annual subscriptions renew annually.

​

Your payment method may be charged the applicable subscription amount at renewal. You may cancel future renewal according to the cancellation methods available through your account or payment provider.

​

Cancellation generally prevents future renewal and does not automatically reverse a charge that has already been completed, except where required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise.

​

13. Cancellation

You may cancel your ThrivePlot subscription at any time through the cancellation options made available to you or by following the instructions provided with your subscription. Unless required otherwise by law, cancellation normally takes effect at the end of your current paid subscription period. You may generally continue using paid features through the remainder of the period for which you have already paid.

​

14. Refunds

Except where required by law or expressly stated in a specific offer, subscription payments are generally non-refundable once a billing period has begun. If you believe you were charged incorrectly, contact: hello@thriveplot.com

​

We will review billing concerns in good faith. Nothing in this section limits refund or cancellation rights that cannot legally be waived in your jurisdiction.

​

15. Promotional Offers

From time to time, ThrivePlot may offer:

  • Discounts

  • Introductory pricing

  • Promotional pricing

  • Free trials

  • Limited-time offers

  • Special subscription packages

​

Additional terms may apply to those offers. Promotional offers may be modified or discontinued where permitted by law. Unless otherwise stated, promotional pricing does not guarantee that the same price will remain available indefinitely.

​

16. Payment Processing

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge your selected payment method. Payment providers may have their own terms and privacy policies.

​

ThrivePlot is not responsible for errors or outages caused solely by an independent payment processor, although we will make reasonable efforts to help resolve legitimate billing issues.

​

17. Customer Content

You may be able to upload or create content including:

​

  • Photos

  • Garden notes

  • Observations

  • Journal entries

  • Garden names

  • Plant information

  • Captions

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless RTC Publishing Group, LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and representatives from claims arising from:

​

​

This obligation does not apply where prohibited by law.

​

30. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive consumer rights that cannot legally be waived. Users in the European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, U.S. states, or other jurisdictions may have additional statutory rights. If mandatory consumer protections conflict with these Terms, applicable law controls.

​

31. International Use

ThrivePlot is operated by a company based in the United States. Customers may access ThrivePlot from other countries. You are responsible for complying with local laws applicable to your use of the service. Additional consumer rights may apply depending on where you live.

​

32. Governing Law

Except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Customers may retain additional rights under the laws of the jurisdiction where they reside.

​

I recommend having an attorney review this provision before launch, especially if ThrivePlot will actively market to customers in the European Union or United Kingdom.

​

33. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as ThrivePlot evolves. The latest version will be posted on the ThrivePlot website with a revised “Last Updated” date.

If changes materially affect your rights, we may provide additional notice where required. Your continued use of ThrivePlot after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

​

34. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly presented for a particular product or promotion, constitute the agreement between you and ThrivePlot regarding your use of the service.

​

35. Severability

If a court or other competent authority finds part of these Terms unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

​

36. No Waiver

If ThrivePlot does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we permanently waive our right to enforce it.
