Garden 1. Who we are
Garden of Dates is a small, independent app made and run by Horia Tuvic Persoana Fizica Autorizata, a sole trader (PFA) registered in Romania (“we”, “us”). These terms are an agreement between you and us about using the Garden of Dates apps for iPhone and Android and the web app at https://gardenofdates.com (together, “Garden of Dates”). By creating an account or using Garden of Dates, you agree to them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.
Contact: horia.tuvic@gmail.com.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
- You sign in with Google, or with Apple on iPhone. Keep that account secure: what happens in Garden of Dates under your account is your responsibility.
- One account is for one person. Don't sign in as someone else.
3. Gardens and invites
- A garden is a private space for the people in it. Only people with an invite link can join one.
- Each invite link lets one person in and expires after two weeks. Anyone in a garden can invite others to it, so invite people you trust.
- Everyone in a garden can add, change and delete what's in it, including things other people added.
- You can leave a garden at any time. Whoever planted a garden can take someone out of it, and whoever planted it, or the last person in it, can delete it, with everything in it, for everyone.
4. Your content
The ideas, notes, plans and photos you add are yours. You give us permission to store, copy, process and show them only as needed to run Garden of Dates for you and the people in your gardens (for example to shrink photos, sync them to your phones and show them in the app). That permission ends when the content is deleted, apart from copies that take a short time to clear from caches and logs.
Only add content you have the right to share. If a photo shows other people, make sure they're happy for it to be in your garden.
5. Using Garden of Dates fairly
Please don't:
- use Garden of Dates to break the law, or to store or share illegal content, including content that sexually exploits children;
- harass, threaten or spam anyone, or share content that's hateful or violates someone's rights;
- try to get into gardens or accounts that aren't yours, or to get around Garden of Dates Plus or its free limits;
- disrupt or overload Garden of Dates, scrape it, or reverse-engineer it, except where the law allows;
- sell or resell access to Garden of Dates.
If someone breaks these rules, we may remove content, suspend or close their account, and report illegal content to the authorities.
6. Reporting a problem
If you come across illegal content in Garden of Dates, or someone misusing it, write to horia.tuvic@gmail.com with what you found and where. We'll look into it promptly and let you know what we did. This address is also our point of contact for authorities under the EU Digital Services Act, in English or Romanian.
7. Google Calendar
Putting dates in Google Calendar is optional. It uses your own Google account, under Google's terms, and Garden of Dates only touches the events it creates (see the Privacy Policy). We're not responsible for Google's services or for whether an invited person accepts a calendar invite.
8. Garden of Dates Plus
- What it is. Plus adds photo memories and lets you plant as many gardens as you like. If anyone in a garden has Plus, everyone in that garden can use these features there. If that person leaves the garden, the garden loses them again; photos already saved stay visible.
- A one-time purchase. Plus is not a subscription and never renews. The price is shown in the app, in your currency, before you buy.
- Bought through the stores. You buy Plus from Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), and their terms apply to the payment, including any right to cancel or get a refund. We can't issue refunds ourselves: ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com or Google through your Google Play order history.
- Yours to keep. Plus belongs to your Garden of Dates account and works on every device you sign in on, including the web. On a new phone, use Restore purchase. Plus lasts for as long as we run Garden of Dates.
9. Changes to Garden of Dates
We keep improving Garden of Dates, so features may be added, changed or removed, and the free version's limits may change. We won't take away the features you paid for with Plus while we run Garden of Dates.
10. Ending things
You can stop using Garden of Dates and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, or when the law requires it; where we can, we'll tell you why first. If we ever stop running Garden of Dates altogether, we'll give at least 30 days' notice where we can, so you have time to save your photos.
11. Our responsibility to you
We build and run Garden of Dates with reasonable care and skill, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. Garden of Dates isn't a backup service: keep your own copies of the photos that matter to you.
As far as the law allows, we're not responsible for losses that weren't foreseeable, or that were caused by things outside our reasonable control, such as your device, your internet connection, or services run by others (like Google, Apple or the app stores). Otherwise, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for Garden of Dates Plus, or €50 if that's more.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for intentional or grossly negligent conduct, and nothing affects your rights as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.
12. Apple App Store
If you got Garden of Dates from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the iPhone app. These terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple isn't responsible for Garden of Dates or its content.
13. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we'll post the new version here with a new date, and let you know in advance if the changes matter. If you don't agree with the new terms, you can stop using Garden of Dates and delete your account.
14. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Romania. If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there. If something goes wrong, please write to us first: most problems can be sorted out quickly.
