This application ("App") is provided for informational and recordkeeping purposes. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to this Legal Notice.
1) No Veterinary, Medical, or Professional Advice
The App may include reminders, logs, calculators, suggested maintenance tasks, and reference information related to poultry care, health, nutrition, and biosecurity. This is not veterinary or medical advice and is not a substitute for a licensed veterinarian or other qualified professional.
Always consult a licensed veterinarian regarding illness, injury, suspected disease, medication, dosage, withdrawal periods, quarantine, vaccination, emergencies, or food safety.
2) User Responsibility; Use at Your Own Risk
You are solely responsible for all decisions and actions taken based on the App, including animal care, facility safety, equipment use, and compliance with applicable laws and best practices. You assume all risks associated with use of the App.
3) Accuracy; Notifications Not Guaranteed
The App relies on user-entered data and device services. The App may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Notifications and reminders may be delayed or not delivered due to device settings, operating system behavior, connectivity, or other factors outside the App's control. You are responsible for verifying information and outcomes.
4) Finances and Recordkeeping
Any finance tools, summaries, or calculations are provided for convenience only and do not constitute accounting, tax, or legal advice. You are responsible for maintaining independent records and verifying totals, categories, and reports.
Privacy & Data
5) Account Information (Email + Password)
To use the App, you must create an account using your email address and a password.
The developer does not have access to your password in plaintext.
Your password is handled by the App's authentication system and is intended to be stored/processed in a secure form (e.g., hashed) rather than readable by the developer.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and access to your device/account.
6) Analytics / Telemetry
The App uses basic analytics to understand usage and improve reliability and features (for example: visits, session duration, device/operating system type, referrer/source, and general location at a country level). Based on current configuration, analytics are not intended to collect precise location.
7) Data Sharing / Selling
The developer does not sell your email address or personal information.
The App is not intended to share your email address with third parties for marketing.
8) Account and Data Deletion
The App provides an option to delete your account. When you delete your account, the App is intended to delete your stored App data associated with that account.
9) Data Security; Limits
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While reasonable safeguards may be used, the developer cannot guarantee absolute security.
Legal
10) No Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, or that defects will be corrected.
11) Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE APP'S OWNER/DEVELOPER (AND AFFILIATES) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE APP'S OWNER/DEVELOPER FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED US $50.00 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (IF ANY), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12) Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the App's owner/developer and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your data/content; (c) your violation of this Legal Notice; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party rights.
13) Third-Party Links and Services
The App may include links to third-party websites or services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
14) Changes
We may update this Legal Notice from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated notice.
