Terms of Service

Last updated: April 28, 2026

These terms cover your use of Aiya's Garden — the website at aiyasgarden.co and the Aiya's Garden iOS and Android apps. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

Who runs the service

Aiya's Garden is operated by MACP Trading LLC, doing business as Aiya's Garden. We're a small team. You can reach us at hello@aiyasgarden.co.

Your account

You need to create an account to participate in the community (post, comment, message, track plants). When you sign up:

• You must be 13 years old or older (16 in the EU/UK).
• You agree to provide accurate information.
• You're responsible for keeping your password safe and for everything that happens under your account.
• One person, one account. You can't share an account or impersonate someone else.
• If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password immediately and let us know.

Acceptable use — zero tolerance for objectionable content and abuse

Aiya's Garden exists to help plant lovers learn from each other. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Posts, comments, direct messages, profile content, photos, and any other user-generated content that violate the rules below will be removed, and the responsible account will be suspended or permanently banned at our sole discretion.

By using Aiya's Garden you agree NOT to:

• Post or share content that is illegal, harassing, hateful, threatening, defamatory, sexually explicit, pornographic, or violent.
• Bully, intimidate, harass, or impersonate any person or entity.
• Post content that infringes anyone's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
• Post spam, repetitive promotional content, scams, or content that misrepresents who you are.
• Share personal information about other people without their consent.
• Use the service to distribute malware, attempt to access other accounts, scrape data en masse, or interfere with the platform's operation.
• Sell or trade products or services through the platform without our prior written permission. Personal plant trades between members are fine.
• Misuse the messaging system (DMs are for member-to-member conversation, not bulk outreach).

Every user has the right to feel safe in this community. The app provides in-product controls to report content (tap Report on any post, comment, or message) and to block other users (tap Block on any profile). Reports go directly to the moderation team. Blocking is immediate: blocked users disappear from your feed, cannot message you, and cannot see your activity. We review every report and act on violations within 24 hours.

Your content

You keep ownership of everything you post — your plant photos, journal entries, posts, comments, tips, and direct messages. By posting public content (posts, comments, tips, public garden, public profile), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as part of operating the service. That license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept in backups for a short period and content other users have already replied to or shared.

You're responsible for the content you post. Please don't post anything you don't have the rights to share.

Reporting and moderation

If you see content that breaks these rules, use the in-app Report button on any post or comment. Our team reviews reports and takes action — including content removal and account suspension — as appropriate. Decisions are at our discretion.

The shop and supporter program

We may include affiliate links to plant-related products in our shop section. We may earn a commission if you buy through these links — at no extra cost to you. We only feature products we'd use ourselves. The affiliate disclosure on the shop page makes this clear.

If you become a Supporter via Stripe, your subscription renews automatically until you cancel. You can cancel any time from your Stripe billing portal or by emailing us. Refunds are handled case-by-case for issues like duplicate charges; we don't offer refunds for already-elapsed subscription periods.

Service availability and changes

We work to keep the service running reliably but we don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change features, add new ones, or discontinue parts of the service with reasonable notice for major changes. We'll do our best to give advance warning if a change affects how you use your data.

Account termination

You can delete your account at any time from inside the app (Profile → Danger zone) or by emailing hello@aiyasgarden.co. Deletion is permanent and removes your profile, posts, comments, plants, journal entries, harvest entries, propagations, direct messages, and uploaded photos. Some content quoted or replied to by other users may remain in their threads as part of the conversation history.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, are inactive for an extended period, or are involved in activity that puts the platform or other users at risk.

Intellectual property

The Aiya's Garden name, logo, branding, software, and design are owned by MACP Trading LLC. Member content remains owned by its authors. You may share links to the service and repost your own content elsewhere; please don't copy or republish other members' content without their permission.

Disclaimers

Aiya's Garden is a community for sharing gardening experiences and tips. Information shared here — including from us, members, and curated content — is for general informational purposes only and isn't professional horticultural, agricultural, veterinary, or medical advice. Some plants are toxic to humans or pets; always do your own research and consult a qualified professional for specific situations.

The service is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We don't guarantee that the service will meet your needs, be uninterrupted, or be error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MACP Trading LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, except where local consumer protection laws give you the right to sue in your home jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll post the new version here, update the “Last updated” date, and surface a notice in the website and app. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
