PlantLog assumes no duty to verify such information as further detailed in CONTENT OF THE SERVICE. If You provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or PlantLog has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, PlantLog has the right upon notice to suspend Your Account until such information is confirmed or corrected, or terminate Your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof) if such information is not confirmed or corrected within a reasonable time period following notice to You. If You register to use the Service on a free-trial basis, You will also have to go through the registration process. You must be at least 18 years old to create an Account.
The Service includes, and is limited to, a web site application allowing You access to and use of a single PlantLog Account that is used solely for and at the Site location specified in Your Registration Data, with Support from PlantLog.

A "PlantLog Account" or "Account" referred to herein means a web site, provided by PlantLog in exchange for Your payments, where You may use PlantLog to create, update, share, and publish information, data, text, software, Plugins, messages or other materials ("Content"). "Plugins" referred to herein are programs designed and written by users to augment the use of PlantLog. This includes Plugins created by PlantLog, Plugins you create, and Plugins created by third parties ("Third Party Plugins") that can be installed on PlantLog. "Support" referred to herein means technical support from PlantLog, available via electronic mail and via telephone during PlantLog's normal operating business hours. PlantLog explicitly DOES NOT provide telephone support outside its normal operating business hours.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Agreement. In order to use the Service, You must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, You must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device.

For the first 45 calendar days after You register (the "Trial Period"), PlantLog will provide You the Service without charge, for an unlimited number of "Users" (user names defined by You, associated with specific humans with electronic mail addresses and passwords, who may access Your Account). You may, but are under no obligation to, provide a credit card number and related credit card information during registration or during the Trial Period.
You may, through a mechanism PlantLog provides as part of Your Account, define Users. You may define Users as "Inactive Users" (Users without permission to access Your Account) and "Active Users" (Users with permission to log in to Your Account using a password).
If You choose to continue using the Service before or at the expiration of Your Trial Period, You shall pay fees to PlantLog on a monthly basis as currently described at: https://plantlog.com/pricing.html
Upon the expiration of Your Trial Period, PlantLog will end customer access to the Service unless PlantLog has received payment information and been able to use it for the first payment of the Subscription Fee (see "Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation" below).
Upon the expiration of Your Trial Period, PlantLog will end customer access to the Service unless PlantLog has received payment information and been able to use it for the first payment of the Subscription Fee (see "Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation" below). Upon the expiration of Your Trial Period, if You choose a Paid Account, we will request Your payment information to add to Your Registration Data. Your payment information will be used to invoice on the next first "Business Day" of the subsequent Month (the first calendar day of each month that is not a Saturday, Sunday or U.S. public holiday) for your use of the Service from registration until the charge date (the “Subscription Fee”) and for the fee for each month thereafter (the “Monthly Fee”). If You sign up for Your Account on a day other than the first day of a Month, or if You terminate the Service in the middle of a Month, the Monthly Fee for that Month of service will be prorated in accordance with the number of complete days during that Month when You could have used the Service, irrespective of whether You actually used the Service or not.
As long as Your Account remains active and in good standing, You will be charged the Monthly Fee even if You never use the service. You may, however, cancel Your Account at any time.
The payment information that You provide as part of the Registration Data will be automatically and immediately billed on the first Business Day of each Month. You agree that PlantLog may charge to You all amounts due and owing for Your Account on that monthly basis or upon cancellation (see "Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation" and "Refund"). PlantLog will contact You via electronic mail to alert You upon each charge. PlantLog may change prices at any time, but will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice via Your Account website and/or electronic mail and such prior notice shall be required before any material change in prices and fees are binding on You. You agree that in the event PlantLog is unable to collect the fees owed to PlantLog for Your Account because You have failed to pay Your Subscription Fee or a Monthly Fee, PlantLog may take any other steps it deems necessary to collect such fees from You and that You will be responsible for all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred by PlantLog in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
PlantLog will provide Support, including any upgrades that PlantLog releases for PlantLog or the Service, for Your Account at no additional cost.
If Your Monthly Fee payment is overdue, or if Your Trial Period has expired and You have chosen a Paid Account and PlantLog has not yet received Your payment information portion of Your Registration Data, PlantLog may disable Your access and Your Users' access to Your Account upon notice to You as provided in this section. If Your Subscription Fee payment is more than 30 calendar days overdue, or if Your Trial Period expired more than 30 calendar days prior and You have chosen a Paid Account and You have not paid Your Subscription Fee, PlantLog may suspend or terminate Your Account as provided in this section. PlantLog may also, at its sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, terminate the Service, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate Your Account. In the event of suspension or termination, Your account will be disabled and You may not be granted access to Your Account or any files or other Content contained in Your Account, and PlantLog may delete Your Content, although residual copies of information may remain in our system for some time for back-up purposes. In the event of termination, PlantLog may also withdraw and at its discretion reallocate the public web address of Your Account.
If You terminate Your Account, via means provided for cancellation on the PlantLog website or in Your Account, or via telephone call or electronic mail to PlantLog, and You request that PlantLog delete Content and files contained in Your Account, PlantLog will make all reasonable efforts to do so.
If You cancel Your Account within 90 calendar days of the end of the Trial Period, and You request a refund, PlantLog will refund all payments You have made to PlantLog within the 90 calendar days prior to the cancellation and refund request (the “Refund”).
You are responsible for maintaining the security of Your Content and PlantLog Account, and You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the PlantLog Account, including those of Your Users.
