These terms govern your use of the website, database, newsletter and membership services (together, the “Service”) provided by Urban Farm DB. By using the Service you agree to these terms.

2. Accounts

Member features require registration with accurate information. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure. Please notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.

3. Paid plans

• Supporter memberships are monthly subscriptions at the prices shown on the support page, with payments processed by Stripe.
• Plans renew automatically each month. You can cancel at any time from your account page; benefits remain available until the end of the current billing period.
• We do not offer pro-rated refunds for mid-period cancellation, and — given the digital nature of the Service — no refunds for services already provided, except where required by law.

• Output from AI-powered features (Q&A, quick diagnosis, etc.) is for reference only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

7. Changes to the Service

We may change or suspend all or part of the Service without notice due to maintenance, system failure or other unavoidable circumstances. Where paid plans are materially affected, we will give reasonable advance notice.

8. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms as needed. Revised terms take effect when posted on this site; material changes will be announced.

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute arising from the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction over the operator's location in the first instance.
