Terms of Use & Disclaimer
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS APPLICATION

By using Orchard SprayWise ("the App"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the following terms. If you do not agree, do not use this App.

1. INFORMATIONAL TOOL ONLY — NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

This App is provided solely as an informational reference tool for home orchard management. The App does NOT provide professional agricultural, horticultural, chemical, legal, or safety advice. All spray schedules, product recommendations, rates, timing, and disease/pest identification information are general guidelines only and may not be appropriate for your specific location, climate, growing conditions, fruit varieties, pest pressures, or regulatory environment.

2. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE PRODUCT LABEL

THE PRODUCT LABEL IS THE LAW. You must always read and follow the complete label directions on any pesticide, fungicide, insecticide, or other chemical product before use. The label supersedes any information in this App. Application rates, pre-harvest intervals (PHI), restricted entry intervals (REI), personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, and approved crops/uses vary by product formulation and change over time. Never rely solely on this App for chemical application decisions.

3. COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Pesticide regulations vary by state, county, and municipality. Some products referenced in this App may be restricted, banned, or require a license in your jurisdiction. It is your sole responsibility to verify that any product you intend to use is legally permitted for your intended use in your location. The App developer assumes no responsibility for compliance with local, state, or federal pesticide regulations.

4. NO WARRANTY — ACCURACY NOT GUARANTEED

All information in this App is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. The developer makes no representations or warranties that the spray schedules, product recommendations, disease identification, growth stage detection, weather data, rates, mixing rules, or any other information in this App is accurate, current, complete, reliable, or error-free. Information may contain errors, omissions, or outdated content.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY — NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the developer, Timothy R. Eagle, and any associated parties shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages whatsoever, including but not limited to:

  • Crop loss, fruit damage, or reduced yields
  • Tree damage, plant injury, or phytotoxicity from product applications
  • Economic losses from following App recommendations
  • Property damage from chemical misuse or misapplication
  • Personal injury, health effects, or environmental contamination
  • Harm to pollinators, beneficial insects, wildlife, or waterways
  • Loss of organic certification or violation of regulatory requirements
  • Data loss or inaccuracy of weather, GDD, or zone information
  • Any damages arising from errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the App

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if the developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

6. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of this App and any actions taken based on its information are entirely at your own risk. Chemical applications to plants involve inherent risks including but not limited to plant damage, chemical exposure, environmental impact, and legal liability. You assume full responsibility for all decisions made regarding the management of your orchard, including product selection, application rates, timing, and safety precautions.

7. THIRD-PARTY DATA AND SERVICES

This App uses third-party data sources including the National Weather Service (weather.gov), Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com), and USDA zone data (phzmapi.org). The developer is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or reliability of third-party data. Weather forecasts, temperature readings, precipitation probabilities, and growing degree day calculations are estimates and may be inaccurate.

8. PRODUCT REFERENCES ARE NOT ENDORSEMENTS

References to specific products, brands, or manufacturers in this App are for informational purposes only and do not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of efficacy or safety. Product formulations, active ingredients, labels, and registrations change frequently. Always verify current product information from the manufacturer.

9. USER DATA AND PRIVACY

All user data (spray logs, varieties, preferences, location) is stored locally on your device only using browser localStorage. No personal data is transmitted to or stored on any external server by the App developer. Weather and zone data requests are made to third-party APIs which may have their own privacy policies. You are responsible for backing up your data using the Export function.

10. APP STORE TERMS

If you acquired this App through a third-party platform (Apple App Store, Google Play, or other distribution service), the terms of service of that platform also apply to your use of this App. In the event of a conflict between these terms and the platform's terms, the more restrictive terms shall apply. The platform provider is not responsible for the App or its content.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer, Timothy R. Eagle, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the App, your violation of these terms, or any actions you take based on information provided by the App.

12. MODIFICATIONS

The developer reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the App following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

13. GOVERNING LAW

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

14. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms shall remain in full force and effect.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SUMMARY: This App is an informational tool only. The product label is the law — always follow it. The developer assumes no liability for any damages or losses.
