Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 22, 2026

App: MewGuard — Cat Plant Safety
Developer: Aspen Studio, Copenhagen, Denmark

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the MewGuard mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. About the App

MewGuard is an informational reference tool that provides plant toxicity data for cats. The App allows users to search a database of plants and view associated toxicity classifications and general guidance.

2. Not a Substitute for Veterinary Advice

The information provided by MewGuard is for general reference purposes only. It is not veterinary advice, medical advice, or a substitute for professional consultation.

• Do not rely solely on MewGuard to determine whether a plant is safe or dangerous for your cat.
• If your cat has ingested a plant or you suspect poisoning, contact a licensed veterinarian or an animal poison control center immediately.
• Plant toxicity can vary based on the amount ingested, the specific part of the plant, and the individual animal's health. MewGuard cannot account for all variables.
• The database may not be complete or up to date for every plant or geographic region.

Emergency resources: ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (USA): +1-888-426-4435 (fees may apply). Your local veterinary emergency clinic.

3. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Aspen Studio disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
• That the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
• That the plant data is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any specific purpose.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Aspen Studio and its owners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• Loss of or harm to any animal resulting from reliance on information provided by the App.
• Loss of data, revenue, or profits.
• Any damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App or App features in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or USD $10 (ten US dollars), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

5. In-App Purchases

MewGuard offers an optional premium subscription ("MewGuard Premium") purchased through Apple's App Store.

• All purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's terms and refund policies.
• Subscription fees are charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
• You can manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Account Settings.
• We do not issue refunds directly. Refund requests must be made through Apple.

6. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, plant database, text, graphics, and all other content, is owned by Aspen Studio and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse engineer any part of the App without our prior written permission.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

• Use the App in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App or its related systems.
• Use the App to distribute malware, spam, or any harmful content.

8. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Third-Party Services

The App integrates third-party services including RevenueCat (subscription management) and Apple (App Store). These services have their own terms of service and privacy policies, which govern their respective data practices. We are not responsible for the practices of these third parties.

10. Modifications to the App and Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part thereof) at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.

11. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately.

12. Dispute Resolution & Binding Arbitration (US Residents)

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

If you are a resident of the United States, you and Aspen Studio agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as set forth below.

• Informal resolution first: Before initiating arbitration, you agree to contact us at hi@aspenstudio.dk and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.
• Arbitration: If the dispute is not resolved informally, either party may initiate arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be conducted in English. For claims under USD $10,000, the arbitration may be conducted by written submissions only.
• Class action waiver: You and Aspen Studio agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, or representative action. You expressly waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
• Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights.
• Opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hi@aspenstudio.dk with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your name and the device used to access the App.

13. Governing Law

For users outside the United States: These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Copenhagen, Denmark. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you may also bring claims in the courts of your country of residence.

For US residents: To the extent the arbitration agreement in Section 12 does not apply or is found unenforceable, these Terms shall be governed by the laws of Denmark, provided that any mandatory consumer protection laws of your US state of residence shall also apply to the extent required by law.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be modified, it will be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

15. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Aspen Studio regarding your use of the App and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
