These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Verna mobile application ("Verna" or the "App"), developed and operated by:
Jaclyn Lazur
Email: support@verna.garden
By creating an account or using Verna, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use Verna on any Apple-branded or Android device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms of Service or the Google Play Terms of Service, as applicable. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App except as permitted by the applicable platform's usage rules.
This license is granted to you by Jaclyn Lazur, not by Apple, Google, or any platform provider. Platform providers have no obligation to provide maintenance, support, or updates for the App.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may only use Verna where permitted by applicable law, and with the consent of a parent or guardian if required by the laws of your jurisdiction. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@verna.garden.
You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account, including your garden's location, as Verna uses this information to generate your planting schedule.
Verna is a garden planning tool that generates personalized planting schedules, task reminders, and weather-based alerts based on your local climate data. Verna is designed to assist your gardening decisions, not replace your own judgment.
Verna is not a guarantee of gardening outcomes. Plant performance depends on many factors beyond climate data and seasonal timing, including soil conditions, microclimates, pests, disease, and individual care. We provide the best schedule we can based on available climate data, but we are not liable for crop loss, poor harvests, or any other gardening outcomes.
Weather and climate data is provided by third-party sources (Open-Meteo and derived climate models) and may contain inaccuracies or become outdated. Seasonal date estimates (such as frost dates and heat-season boundaries) are statistical averages, not predictions of actual weather events. Always use your own observation and local knowledge alongside Verna's recommendations.
Verna may offer free and paid subscription tiers. All payments are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. By subscribing, you also agree to the payment terms of the applicable store.
Subscription pricing, features, and billing cycles are displayed in the App at the time of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your device's App Store or Google Play settings.
Founding season and founding annual subscriptions. Verna may offer a limited founding season or founding annual subscription. If founding season access is offered without a paid subscription, it will not automatically convert into a paid subscription unless you affirmatively purchase a subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The purchase screen will show the current price, renewal period, cancellation terms, and any founding-season cutoff before you subscribe.
If your paid subscription expires or is cancelled, paid features may become unavailable and your schedule may remain available only in its last generated state unless you renew or subscribe again. We will not charge you outside the Apple App Store or Google Play Store payment flow.
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their respective refund policies. We do not process refunds directly.
Any data you enter into Verna (gardens, plantings, logs, notes) remains yours. We do not claim ownership of your content. By using Verna, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your data solely to provide the App's features to you.
For details on how we collect, use, and protect your data, see our Privacy Policy.
You may delete your account and all associated data at any time using the account deletion option within the App. You may also request deletion through verna.garden/delete-account or by emailing privacy@verna.garden.
In-app and web-based deletion requests are processed within 72 hours. Email requests are processed within 30 days.
Following deletion, certain anonymized data and records required for legal compliance may be retained as described in our Privacy Policy.
The Verna app, including its design, code, schedule engine, crop database, task templates, icons, and all associated content, is the intellectual property of Jaclyn Lazur. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works based on any part of Verna without prior written permission.
The Verna name, logo, and brand elements are trademarks of Jaclyn Lazur. Unauthorized use is prohibited.
You agree not to:
Verna may offer beta or pre-release features. These features are provided "as is" without warranty. Beta features may change, break, or be removed at any time. Data created during beta testing may be reset or deleted. By participating in beta testing, you acknowledge and accept these conditions.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VERNA IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any planting schedules, seasonal dates, weather data, or gardening recommendations provided through the App.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW THAT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT. IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JACLYN LAZUR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF CROPS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR ANY GARDENING-RELATED LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF VERNA.
Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for Verna in the twelve months preceding the claim, or fifty dollars ($50 USD), whichever is greater.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THESE TERMS DO NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER.
By you. You may stop using Verna and delete your account at any time through the App, through verna.garden/delete-account, or by contacting us at privacy@verna.garden.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to Verna if:
Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice before terminating your account. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Intellectual Property, Dispute Resolution and Arbitration, and Governing Law) will survive.
Verna is made available to you through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (each a "Platform Provider"). The following additional terms apply:
Scope of agreement. These Terms are between you and Jaclyn Lazur only, not with any Platform Provider. Jaclyn Lazur, not the Platform Provider, is solely responsible for Verna and its content.
Maintenance and support. Platform Providers have no obligation to provide maintenance, support, or updates for the App. Any maintenance or support is the sole responsibility of Jaclyn Lazur.
Warranty. To the extent any warranty exists under these Terms, if the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the applicable Platform Provider. Apple may, in accordance with its policies, refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform Provider will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of Jaclyn Lazur.
Product claims. Platform Providers are not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your use of the App, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
Intellectual property claims. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights, Jaclyn Lazur, not the Platform Provider, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
Third-party beneficiary. Platform Providers and their subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, each Platform Provider has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations when using the App.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or by email before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Verna after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with updated Terms, you should stop using the App and delete your account.
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to participate in a class action.
Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@verna.garden and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally. Most concerns can be resolved this way.
Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Jaclyn Lazur agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Verna will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as provided below. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in the State of California, or, at your election, in the county where you reside, or may be conducted by telephone or video where permitted. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action waiver. You and Jaclyn Lazur agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in a small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.
30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@verna.garden with your name and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, neither party is bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions, and disputes will be resolved in the courts identified under Governing Law. Opting out has no effect on any other provision of these Terms.
Severability. If the class action waiver above is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) will be severed from arbitration and may proceed in court; all other claims remain subject to arbitration.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction provide otherwise. Subject to the "Dispute Resolution and Arbitration" section above, any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Verna shall be resolved in the courts of the State of California, except where applicable law requires disputes to be resolved in the courts of your jurisdiction of residence.
