Cure Terms of Use
Effective date: May 19, 2026 Last updated: May 19, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Cure iOS application and the related pages at phenolog.io/cure (together, "the Service"). The Service is operated by Matt Cohen, sole proprietor, located in the State of Maine, United States ("we," "us," "Cure").
By creating an account, installing the app, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms apply in addition to Apple's standard End User License Agreement, which governs your installation and use of any app on iOS. Where Apple's standard EULA conflicts with these Terms on a topic Apple controls, Apple's EULA prevails for that topic only.
1. Who can use Cure
You may use Cure only if you:
- Are at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher).
- Can form a binding contract with us.
- Are not barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction that applies to you.
Cure is rated 17+ on the App Store. We do not allow use by anyone under 13 and do not knowingly collect their information.
2. Your account
You are responsible for:
- Keeping your password confidential.
- All activity that occurs under your account.
- Notifying us promptly at hello@phenolog.app if you suspect your account has been compromised.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are being used in violation of these Terms.
3. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial curing and drying journaling purposes, subject to these Terms. We retain all rights in the Service that are not expressly granted to you.
4. Lawful use is your responsibility
Cure is a journaling tool for recording the curing and drying of plant material such as flower, dried herbs, tea, mushrooms, and fruit. It is designed for hobbyists and small-scale makers in jurisdictions where possessing and handling the material they are tracking is lawful for them.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that any material you track and any activity you log in Cure is lawful where you live and where the activity occurs. Laws vary widely by country, state, county, and municipality, and change frequently.
Cure does not condone, encourage, or assist with any activity that is unlawful where you are. We make no representation that any particular use of the Service is lawful in your jurisdiction. Use of the Service does not constitute legal advice and is not a defense to any legal claim.
If you are uncertain whether your activity is lawful, consult a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction before using the Service.
5. Subscriptions and payments
5.1 Free tier
Cure offers a free tier with limited usage (currently one active batch). The free-tier limits may change.
5.2 Paid plans
Cure offers paid subscriptions and a one-time purchase plan. As of the effective date of these Terms, the published prices are:
- Premium Monthly: $4.99 USD per month.
- Premium Annual: $39.99 USD per year, with a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers.
- Premium Lifetime: $79.99 USD one-time.
Prices and tiers may change with notice. Any change applies to renewals after the change takes effect; your current subscription period is not affected.
5.3 Auto-renewal (subscriptions)
Subscription plans automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period at the published price for the next period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your iOS Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. Premium Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
5.4 Refunds and billing disputes
All payments are processed by Apple. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple at https://reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not process or issue refunds directly. We will support a reasonable Apple refund request but cannot guarantee Apple's decision.
5.5 Taxes
You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase. Apple may collect VAT, sales tax, or other taxes at the time of purchase.
6. Your content
You retain ownership of the batches, readings, containers, burp logs, and notes you create (your "Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, back up, display, and process your Content for the sole purpose of providing the Service to you.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to create your Content and that your Content does not infringe anyone else's rights or violate any law.
We do not use your Content to train any machine-learning model.
7. Things you must not do
You agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except as expressly permitted by law.
- Create multiple accounts to evade free-tier limits or any other quantitative restriction.
- Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to access the Service.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except as part of a security disclosure to us in good faith.
- Use the Service to log activity that is unlawful where you are or to facilitate unlawful activity by others.
- Misrepresent who you are or impersonate any other person.
- Upload viruses, malware, or other malicious code.
Violations may result in immediate termination and may also be reported to law enforcement.
8. Service availability and changes
We provide the Service on an "as available" basis. We may add features, change features, deprecate features, or discontinue the Service in whole or in part at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes that affect features you actively use.
The Service depends on third-party platforms (Apple's App Store, Supabase, RevenueCat). Outages or changes affecting those platforms may affect the Service.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY READING, SCORE, OR REPORT PRODUCED BY THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR USEFUL. Cure records the data you enter; it does not give horticultural, agronomic, medical, or safety advice, and you are responsible for your own decisions about your material.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the disclaimers above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
- WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
- OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Matt Cohen (operator of Cure) from and against any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of:
- Your use of the Service.
- Your Content.
- Your violation of these Terms.
- Your violation of any law or any third party's rights, including any law governing the possession or handling of the material you are tracking.
12. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maine, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Maine, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose mandatory law gives you a right to sue or be sued in your own jurisdiction's courts, this section does not override that right.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account, use Settings → Delete account inside the app, or email hello@phenolog.app.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms. On termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) survive termination.
14. Apple-specific terms
The following apply when you use the iOS app:
- These Terms are between you and Matt Cohen (Cure), not between you and Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the iOS app.
- If the iOS app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any product or third-party claim relating to the iOS app.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where the change is material to your rights, notify you in-app or by email before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
16. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Apple-imposed terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
- No assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a sale of the business.
