Terms of Service

English is the sole authoritative version of these terms. Any translation is provided for convenience only; if a translation conflicts with this text, this text prevails.

1. Purpose

These terms govern your use of Seed (“the Service”), a habit-tracking application provided by AshStart Inc., a corporation incorporated in Ontario, Canada (“we”, “us”), and set out the rights and obligations of both sides. By using the Service you agree to them.

2. Definitions

1. Service — the application that lets you register habits, record whether you did them, and see the accumulation over time.
2. User — anyone using the Service under these terms, including without a linked account.
3. Records — habits, logs, notes, photos, and any other content you enter or attach.
4. Floor — the minimum amount you set for yourself. It is the Service’s only measure of success.
5. Group — a space of up to 8 users who join by invitation code and do one or more habits together (section 5).
6. Seed+ — the Service’s paid plan (section 10).

3. Posting and changing these terms

1. We post these terms in the app or on a page we designate.
2. We may change them within the limits of applicable law. Changes are posted at least 7 days before they take effect — 30 days if they are unfavourable to you.
3. If you do not accept a change, you may stop using the Service and delete your account.

4. Accounts

1. You can start without signing up. Doing so creates an anonymous account tied to your device.
2. An anonymous account cannot be recovered if you delete the app or lose the device. Link an account if you want your records to persist. We are not liable for data lost this way.
3. After 3 days, an anonymous account can still view its records but must be linked to an account to add or check habits. Linking keeps everything recorded so far.
4. Joining or creating a group requires a linked account.
5. You are responsible for your sign-in credentials and may not let others use your account.

5. Ownership of your records

1. You own your records, including any copyright in them.
2. We process them only as needed to provide the Service (storage, display, sync, and showing them to the members of groups you join). We take no licence to use your records for advertising, promotion, or derivative works.
3. Your records are shown to other users only through groups you choose to join, and only the parts listed in section 2.7 of the Privacy Policy — such as your name and photo and whether you kept each shared habit on a given day. Your values, notes, places, and photos attached to logs are never shown. The Service has no feature that publishes your records anywhere else.
4. When you connect an existing habit to a group, the app can also show that habit’s past days to the group. It tells you before you choose.

6. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

1. use another person’s account without permission;
2. exploit vulnerabilities or place abnormal load on the Service by automated means;
3. store content that is unlawful or infringes the rights of others;
4. reverse-engineer, copy, or redistribute the Service without permission;
5. use a group, a group name, or your profile name or photo to harass, threaten, or impersonate anyone, or share in a group anything unlawful or that you have no right to share.

We do not allow objectionable content in groups — anything offensive, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, or harassing, or that harms others. This covers group names, shared habit names, and the names and photos members show.

In a group you can:

• Report a member or the group from the app. This opens an email to us (section 13) that identifies the group and the member.
• Block a member. Their name, photo, and check-ins are hidden on your screen, and you stop receiving notifications about them. They are not told.

A group’s owner and admins can also remove members from it. We do not review groups in advance. When we receive a report, we look into it and may, as we judge appropriate, remove or change the content, remove the member from the group, close the group, or restrict the account under section 9.

7. Health disclaimer

Seed is not a medical device, and nothing in the Service is medical diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or professional advice. This applies equally to habits relating to exercise, diet, sleep, smoking, or alcohol: what you do, and how hard you push, is your decision and your responsibility. Consult a qualified professional if you have any health concern.

8. Changes to and suspension of the Service

1. We may change the Service or discontinue parts of it.
2. If we shut the Service down entirely, we will give at least 30 days’ notice and explain how to export your records. From that notice we stop selling Seed+, and we stop subscription renewals before the Service closes. A lifetime purchase ends when the Service ends (section 10.8).
3. We may act without prior notice in the case of temporary interruptions caused by force majeure, power or network failure, or an outage at a third-party provider (such as Google Firebase).

9. Termination

1. You may terminate at any time using Delete account and data in the app.
2. On termination your personal data and records are destroyed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and cannot be recovered.
3. Deleting your account does not cancel a Seed+ subscription. Cancel it in the store first (section 10.6).
4. If you breach section 6 we may restrict your use after notifying you — or, in urgent cases, notify you afterwards.

10. Seed+ and payments

1. Free and Seed+. You can use the Service without paying. Some features — such as keeping more than one habit active and creating a group — require Seed+. Joining a group is free. Before you buy, the app shows what the free plan and Seed+ each include, and the price.
2. Free trial. A new account starts with a 14-day free trial, counted from when the account was created and ending at the end of the 14th day, by the day start hour you set. The app shows the trial’s limits and its end date. The trial is given by the app, not by the store: we do not ask for payment details, and nothing is charged when it ends. After it, the Service continues on the free plan.
3. Your records stay. When a trial or Seed+ ends, nothing you recorded is deleted or hidden. Habits beyond the free plan’s limit are paused: you can still see them and their history, but you cannot check them until you have Seed+ again. You choose which habit stays active, and you can change that choice once every 7 days.
4. Buying through the store. Seed+ is sold only as an in-app purchase through Apple’s App Store or Google Play. The store takes the payment, charges any applicable taxes, and shows the price in its own currency; its terms of sale apply to the purchase alongside these terms. We never receive your card or other payment details.
5. Subscriptions. The monthly and yearly plans are subscriptions. Each renews automatically for another period of the same length, and the store charges you again, unless you cancel before the renewal date — on the App Store, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. If a subscription’s price changes, the store tells you in advance and, where the store’s rules or the law require it, asks for your agreement before charging the new price.
6. Cancelling. You cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings; the Seed+ row on the app’s Me tab opens them. After you cancel, Seed+ continues until the end of the period you have paid for and then does not renew. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription.
7. Refunds. Because the store takes the payment, refunds are requested from the store and decided under its refund policy; we cannot issue them ourselves. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not by itself refund the current period. None of this limits any right to cancel or to a refund that you have under consumer protection law, including Ontario’s (section 11.5).
8. Lifetime. The lifetime plan is a one-time purchase. It gives Seed+ for as long as we provide the Service, with no renewal and no further charge. It belongs to the store account that bought it, cannot be transferred, and is not shared through Family Sharing.
9. Restoring a purchase. A purchase is tied to the store account that made it. On a new device or after reinstalling, use Restore purchase with the same store account.
10. Seed+ at no charge. Accounts created before the public release of the version of the Service that introduced Seed+ have Seed+ for life at no charge, for as long as they keep that account. These terms promised those users that what was free would stay free, and this keeps that promise. An anonymous account that is lost and replaced by a new one — for example after reinstalling the app without a linked account — is a new account. We may also give Seed+ at no charge in other ways, such as promotional codes redeemed in the store.
11. Changes. We announce changes to Seed+’s price or contents as set out in section 3. A price change does not affect a period you have already paid for. We will not move a feature that is part of the free plan when you create your account behind Seed+. The free trial (section 10.2) is not part of the free plan.

11. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

1. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
2. We do not guarantee any outcome you may hope for, including forming a habit.
3. We are not liable for data lost through your own actions (deleting the app, not linking an account, losing the device).
4. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or CAD $50.
5. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including under Ontario consumer protection legislation. If you are a consumer, you keep every right that legislation gives you.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in it, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, sitting in Toronto, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory rules of your place of residence.
