Terms of Service

Who We Are

Microgrower is an iPhone app for people who grow microgreens and sprouts, at home or to sell. It is run by Josh Morrow, located in Spring, Texas ("we" or "us"). You can reach us at josh@microgrower.app. Microgrower is offered to people in the United States.

These terms are an agreement between you and us about using Microgrower at app.microgrower.app, our website at www.microgrower.app, and any apps we offer for it. By creating an account or using Microgrower, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use Microgrower.

Who Can Use Microgrower

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or pay for a plan. If you use Microgrower for a farm or business, you confirm that you have the authority to agree to these terms for it.

Your Account

Each account is for one farm or household. Keep your password private, and tell us right away if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account until you do.

You can change your password, export your records and delete your account at any time in Settings. Deleting your account removes your records and photos as described in the Privacy Policy.

What Microgrower Does

Microgrower keeps track of your trays and jars, gives you tasks from the growing steps for each variety, stores your photos and notes, works out your harvest averages, and, on the Business plan, keeps your customers, orders, markets, invoices and money records. It also includes Learn articles, a glossary and an optional AI helper called Sprout.

Microgrower is a record-keeping and planning tool. It does not grow anything for you, and it cannot see your trays. Growing results depend on your seed, your setup, your climate and your care, so Microgrower's schedules, estimates and suggestions are a starting point, not a guarantee.

Plans, Trials and Payment

After you create an account, you pick a plan before you can add to your records. A plan bought in the app may start with a free first month from Apple, which Apple gives each Apple account once. If it does, you're charged when the free month ends unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before then. If it doesn't, you pay that day. Accounts made before November 7, 2026 that started a free trial of the Business plan keep it until it ends. Without a plan, your records stay readable and exportable, but you cannot add to them, and reminders and Sprout pause. We never delete your records for not paying.

The plans are Home (growing at home, with up to 6 trays or jars growing at once), Starter (growing, with no limit) and Business (growing and selling). Current prices and what each plan includes are shown on the Plan and Billing screen before you pay. We may change prices for future billing periods; we will tell you before a change applies to you.

Plans are billed monthly or yearly, in advance, and renew automatically until you cancel. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and you keep the plan until then. Sales tax is added where the law requires it. New plans are bought in the app. A plan already paid for on the web stays there until it ends or you cancel it.

Plans paid for on the web are handled by Stripe, and you agree to Stripe's terms for them. We never see or store your card number. You can change or cancel your plan at any time from Plan and Billing. Except where the law requires a refund, these payments are not refundable, including for partly used periods. Deleting your account cancels a plan you pay for on the web right away, without a refund.

In the iPhone app, you pay Apple through the App Store, and those purchases are also subject to Apple's terms. You change or cancel them in your Apple account's Subscriptions, and refunds for them are handled by Apple. We can't cancel them for you, so deleting your account does not stop them: cancel in the App Store first. If you buy a plan during a free trial from before November 7, 2026, Apple's free first month takes the place of the days left in it. Without Apple's free month, you pay that day and the days left don't carry over.

If a payment fails, we or the App Store will let you know and try again. If it keeps failing, your plan ends and your account works as it does without a plan.

Sprout and Credits

Sprout is an optional AI helper. It is off until you turn it on in Settings. When it is on, your questions, a summary of your growing and selling records, and photos you ask it to check are sent to an outside AI service to produce an answer. The Privacy Policy explains what is sent and what is left out.

Sprout's answers are generated automatically and can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Check anything important before you act on it, and never rely on Sprout alone for decisions about food safety, health, money or the law.

Sprout use is counted in credits. Some plans include a number of credits each month, which start over at the beginning of each calendar month and do not carry over. You can also buy credits as a one-time pack or a monthly add-on. Credits from packs do not expire while your account exists. The monthly add-on needs a paid plan: if your plan ends, the add-on's credits end with it, without a refund. On the web we cancel the add-on with your plan. In the App Store only you can cancel it, so Apple keeps charging for it until you do; the app tells you when this happens. Credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred or refunded, and are used up as Sprout answers. We may change how many credits an answer uses as costs change; the Settings screen always shows your use.

Your Records and Photos

Everything you add to Microgrower, including your records, photos, notes, customers and settings, is yours. You give us permission to store, process, back up and display it, only as needed to run Microgrower for you and as described in the Privacy Policy. You can export it at any time.

You are responsible for what you add. If you enter information about other people, such as your customers' names, phone numbers, email addresses and delivery addresses, you confirm that you are allowed to, and that you will handle it according to the laws that apply to you. We process that information only on your behalf, to show it to you and put it on your orders, labels and invoices.

Don't add anything that is unlawful, that you don't have the right to share, or that is harmful to others.

Our Content

The Learn articles, the glossary, the starter varieties and growing steps, the diagnosis library, the illustrations and the software are ours or our licensors'. You may use them as part of Microgrower for your own growing and your own business. You may not copy, sell or republish them, build a competing product from them, or use automated tools to collect them.

Growing, Food Safety and the Law

Learn articles, growing steps, diagnoses and Sprout's answers are general information about growing microgreens and sprouts. They are not legal, financial, medical or food safety advice. Rules for growing and selling food differ by state, county and city and change over time. You are responsible for following the laws and rules that apply to you, including food safety, licensing, labeling and tax rules, and for the safety of what you grow and sell. Where an article says when it was last checked, that is the date its sources were reviewed, not a promise that nothing has changed since.

Using Microgrower Fairly

You agree not to:

• share your account or use someone else's;
• try to get around plan limits, the trial, or the credit count;
• break, probe or overload Microgrower, or try to reach another account's data;
• use Microgrower to send spam or to do anything unlawful;
• resell Microgrower or offer it as a service to others.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Where we can, we will tell you first and give you a chance to export your records.

Changes and Availability

We improve Microgrower often, and features may change or go away. We try to keep it available, but it depends on services we don't control, and there will be downtime now and then. We don't promise that it will always be available or free of errors. Export your records regularly if they matter to your business.

Ending the Agreement

You can stop using Microgrower and delete your account at any time in Settings. We can end this agreement if you break these terms, or if we stop offering Microgrower; in the second case we will tell you in advance and give you time to export your records. Sections of these terms that by their nature should continue, such as those about our content, disclaimers and limits on liability, continue after it ends.

Disclaimers

Microgrower is provided as it is and as available. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including about fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of schedules, estimates or Sprout's answers, or that your crops, sales or records will turn out any particular way.

Limits on Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost crops, lost sales, lost profits or lost data, arising from your use of Microgrower. Our total liability to you for anything arising out of these terms or Microgrower is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some states don't allow some of these limits, so some may not apply to you.

Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of what you added to Microgrower, how you used it, or your breaking these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim.

Disputes and Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law rules. If you have a problem, please contact us first at josh@microgrower.app and we will try to work it out. Any dispute that we can't resolve that way will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Montgomery County, Texas, and you agree to that venue.

If You Use the iPhone App

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We alone are responsible for the app and what it contains, and Apple has no duty to provide support or maintenance for it. You may use the app on any Apple device you own or control, as Apple's Usage Rules allow.

If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund what you paid for the app, if anything. Beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation. We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability, failing to meet a legal requirement, and consumer protection or privacy claims, and for looking into and settling any claim that the app infringes someone's intellectual property.

You confirm that you are not in a country under a U.S. government embargo, or on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, and you agree to follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your phone plan's. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and Apple may enforce them against you.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we will publish the new version with its date, and Microgrower will ask you to agree to it before you continue. Your earlier agreements are kept with their dates.
