Terms of Service & Liability Waiver

The Fun Guy Forager is owned and operated by Gnome Brigade Innovations LLC ("we," "us"). When you use the App or buy a subscription, you are entering into an agreement with Gnome Brigade Innovations LLC. If you use the App on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to bind that business; otherwise you confirm you are of legal age to form a binding contract.

The Fun Guy Forager ("the App") is a digital tracking, identification, and record-keeping aid. It is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing in the App — including AI-generated identifications, safety badges, pricing data, or legal/permit summaries — constitutes professional mycological, legal, medical, or commercial advice.

Mushroom identification is inherently uncertain, and AI-assisted identification can be wrong. Some mushrooms are deadly poisonous and can resemble edible species. NEVER eat, sell, or distribute any mushroom based solely on the App's output. Always verify identification with a qualified human expert before consumption or sale. You assume all risk of illness, injury, or death arising from consuming or handling any mushroom.

Users are solely responsible for verifying local, state, and federal land laws, obtaining all required permits, respecting bag limits, and complying with wilderness and commercial harvest rules before foraging. Legal summaries and agency links in the App may be incomplete or out of date; the managing agency's current regulations always control.

By using the App, you expressly assume all risks associated with foraging, including but not limited to poisoning, allergic reaction, injury, trespass liability, fines, and property damage. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive and release The Fun Guy Forager, Gnome Brigade Innovations LLC, its developers, and its affiliates from any and all claims, damages, or losses arising from your use of the App or reliance on its content.

Prices, intake status, quotas, and buyer listings are posted by third-party buying stations and are not verified or guaranteed by the App. The App is not a party to any transaction between foragers and buyers and bears no responsibility for payment, quality, or food-safety compliance. Commercial sellers are responsible for meeting all applicable food-safety regulations (including OAR 603-25-0030 record-keeping).

You must not misuse the App. This includes using it for anything unlawful; fraud, spam, or fake listings and prank prices; infringing anyone's intellectual property; uploading malware; probing, scanning, or testing the App's security; scraping or harvesting data; reverse engineering the App; or reselling access without our written permission. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity under your account.

Gnome Brigade Innovations LLC owns the App and all related software, content, documentation, mascot artwork, and branding. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the App within your plan. You keep ownership of photos and posts you upload, and grant us a limited license to host and display them solely to run the App.

Our order process for web subscriptions, including the Commercial Business Station Pass, is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Payment, billing, taxes, renewals, cancellations, and refunds for these orders are governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms (https://www.paddle.com/legal/checkout-buyer-terms) and our Refund Policy. Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until canceled; you can cancel anytime from Manage billing and keep access until the end of the paid period. Pro Pass purchases made inside the iPhone or Android app are processed by Apple or Google under their own terms.

We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay, create a security or fraud risk, or repeatedly or seriously violate our policies. You may stop using the App and request deletion of your account at any time. When access ends, your account data is deleted or anonymised as described in our Privacy Policy.

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, reliability, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always available. Offline and cached data may be stale.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall The Fun Guy Forager be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury where the law does not allow it.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, USA. By creating an account or continuing to use the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service and this Liability Waiver. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the App.
