Agreement for one product. These Terms apply only to GrowLux (com.ryantinklepaugh.growlux). Acceptance is recorded against this document’s exact version and SHA-256 hash, the separate product Privacy Policy, and the separate Product Schedule.
Product-specific schedule incorporated into these Terms
Product-specific document. This schedule applies only to GrowLux (com.ryantinklepaugh.growlux). It supplements the separate GrowLux Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, each with its own immutable version and SHA-256 hash.
Product purpose
GrowLux estimates light from iPhone camera exposure metadata, converts the estimate to PPFD and DLI for a selected light-source class, and compares it with broad plant-light target ranges. A canopy experiment lets a user record the same spatial points at morning, midday, and evening, document one intervention, and compare matched follow-up and seasonal surveys.
A camera estimate, not a PAR meter
GrowLux is not a calibrated lux meter, quantum sensor, PAR meter, laboratory instrument, or guarantee of plant health. Camera response is not cosine-corrected or spectrally matched to a photopic or 400–700 nm quantum sensor. The app describes readings as estimates, currently good to roughly ±30% under supported technique; actual error can be larger.
Light-source and plant-target limits
Lux-to-PPFD conversion depends on the actual spectrum of the specific fixture, while the app uses an approximate factor for the selected source class. Plant targets are broad guidance ranges, not a diagnosis or cultivation guarantee. Fixture spectrum, distance, canopy, photoperiod, plant stage, genetics, temperature, water, nutrients, and other conditions can change the result.
Planner limits
The planner applies arithmetic to the current estimate and selected target. It cannot make an insufficient fixture stronger, account for every point in a canopy, or ensure that longer exposure is appropriate. A separate canopy experiment records selected points over time, but its estimated before-and-after difference does not establish causation or calibrated accuracy. Verify important decisions with a calibrated instrument and reliable horticultural guidance.
Free access and GrowLux Pro
The live meter, one saved grow space, and one canopy experiment are available without Pro, subject to the limits shown in the app. Pro can add unlimited spaces and canopy experiments, plant targets, planning, history, CSV export, and a PDF canopy evidence report after a complete baseline and matched follow-up. Apple's purchase sheet controls current plan and lifetime prices, trial eligibility, and renewal terms. Pro adds organization and memory, not a more accurate sensor or a guarantee that an intervention caused an observed change.
Limited mode
After a decline or withdrawal, the user can review, export, or delete available records, read legal and support information, and manage or restore an Apple purchase. New readings, saves, planning actions, purchases, and Pro actions can remain unavailable until the current documents are accepted.
Current product data boundary
The following categories and operational boundaries are specific to GrowLux and form part of this schedule.
- Transient camera frames and exposure metadata used during a user-directed light reading
- Saved grow-space names, light-source classes, plant associations, photoperiod settings, and notes
- Exposure inputs and derived lux, PPFD, DLI, uncertainty, target, history, and planner values
- Saved canopy experiment titles, layouts, spatial point labels and positions, survey times, recorded interventions, field notes, seasonal repeats, and derived comparisons
- Private CloudKit identifiers and synchronization state
- User-requested CSV and PDF exports
- Anonymous App Store purchase and RevenueCat offering, transaction, purchase, and entitlement metadata
- Privacy-minimal legal-choice evidence
Camera exposure metadata
GrowLux uses the back camera during a reading to obtain aperture, exposure-duration, and ISO metadata. Camera frames are not stored as GrowLux records, analyzed for depicted content, uploaded to Uncommon Weather, RevenueCat, CloudKit, or an artificial-intelligence service, or used for advertising.
The app saves the selected source and mode, exposure-derived numbers, uncertainty state, time, and associated grow-space and canopy-experiment information; it does not save camera frames.
Spaces, readings, canopy experiments, and private iCloud
Spaces, plant associations, readings, canopy layouts, survey observations, intervention and field notes, comparison history, and settings remain local and can synchronize through the user's private CloudKit database. Apple processes that content under the user's iCloud account. Uncommon Weather does not receive or restore it.
User-directed exports
GrowLux creates a CSV or a PDF canopy evidence report only after the user requests it. The PDF can contain the experiment title, grow-space name, layout, recorded change, field notes, dated observations, and estimated before-and-after comparison. The copy remains with the destination or recipient selected through Apple's share interface.
Purchases and legal choices
Apple processes payments. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user identifier and limited app, device, offering, transaction, purchase, and entitlement metadata needed to present products, restore purchases, provide aggregate subscription analytics, and determine Pro access. It does not receive camera frames, exposure metadata, spaces, plants, readings, canopy experiments, or planner results.
The separate legal-choice service receives only signed, privacy-minimal evidence of an acceptance, decline, or withdrawal and no GrowLux product content.
Retention and deletion
Records remain locally and in private CloudKit until deleted with available controls, Delete All App Data, app removal, or Apple storage changes. Product deletion does not erase an exported CSV or PDF, Apple or RevenueCat purchase records, provider security records, or privacy-minimal legal-choice evidence.
Legal choices and verification
A decline or withdrawal takes effect locally at once and remains limited without a recurring prompt. A user can review the current documents and affirmatively accept from Legal & Privacy settings. A current affirmative acceptance takes effect after it is durably saved on the device and unlocks main-app access while signed-receipt delivery retries in the background. A non-terminal network, Apple, or service outage does not lock the main app or create another prompt. Widgets, Live Activities, and other extension surfaces that require a verifiable cross-process receipt may wait until the server-signed receipt is received and verified. If the server explicitly rejects the exact saved acceptance as terminal, the client quarantines that failed record and returns to the appropriate decision or limited-state screen. A current choice is not repeatedly requested.

General contractual provisions
1. Operator and documents
These GrowLux Terms of Service (“Terms”) are between you and UNCOMMON WEATHER LLC, with a notice address at 1212 N Walker Ave Apt 207, Oklahoma City, OK 73103, United States (“Uncommon Weather,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Contact team@uncommonweather.com for support, legal notices, and privacy requests.
These Terms incorporate the GrowLux Privacy Policy, the separately hashed GrowLux Product Schedule, and mandatory Apple platform rules. Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies unless Apple or the App Store listing identifies a valid custom EULA. If documents conflict, mandatory law controls, then Apple terms where they must control, then the Product Schedule for product-specific matters, then these Terms.
2. Adult eligibility and agreement
You must be at least 18 and accept these Terms for yourself. GrowLux is not offered for use by a minor, and a parent or guardian cannot accept on a minor’s behalf. No birth date is collected; the acceptance flow records only a broad adult age band and acceptor role.
Clicking “Agree & Continue” after checking the agreement control creates an affirmative acceptance tied to the displayed document versions and hashes. Declining leaves legal, support, export or deletion, and Apple purchase-management or restoration controls available as described in the Product Schedule, but disables ordinary product operation.
3. Limited license and acceptable use
Subject to these Terms and any required payment, Uncommon Weather grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use GrowLux through an Apple-authorized distribution channel. You may not resell, sublicense, bypass licensing, reverse engineer except where law permits, introduce malicious code, interfere with services, violate Apple platform rules, infringe another person’s rights, or use the app to break the law.
4. Ownership, content, and feedback
Uncommon Weather and its licensors retain rights in GrowLux, its brand, design, code, documentation, and services. You retain your rights in content and records you create or capture and are responsible for having permission to use or share them. Feedback may be used without restriction or compensation.
5. Apple purchases, renewals, and refunds
GrowLux Pro may be offered as monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions and a one-time lifetime non-consumable purchase through Apple. Apple controls the current product type, displayed price, trial eligibility, renewal terms, billing, cancellation, and refunds. RevenueCat supplies anonymous offering, purchase, and entitlement state but does not process payment.
An auto-renewable subscription continues until cancelled through the Apple ID subscription controls. Cancellation normally stops future renewal after the current paid period and does not automatically refund an earlier charge. Request an eligible refund through Apple. Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply, and a full refund may revoke the associated paid entitlement.
6. Product data, exports, and backups
GrowLux stores grow-space names, light-source selections, plant associations, exposure-derived readings, lux, PPFD and DLI estimates, planner results, preferences, and history with SwiftData. It also stores canopy experiment titles, layouts and point positions, survey observations and times, intervention and field notes, seasonal repeats, and derived comparisons. Those records can synchronize through the user's private CloudKit database. A CSV or PDF export is created only at the user's request and can contain the selected product records. Camera frames are used transiently to obtain exposure metadata and are not saved or analyzed for image content. GrowLux has no product account or developer-operated product-data server.
7. Apple and other service providers
GrowLux may rely on Apple, iOS, AVFoundation, the App Store, StoreKit, private CloudKit, RevenueCat for anonymous purchase and entitlement state, and Supabase only for the separate privacy-minimal legal-choice service.
8. Updates, availability, and termination
We may update GrowLux for security, law, policy, compatibility, reliability, or product reasons. We do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or permanent availability. We may suspend network services for abuse, security risk, legal requirements, or material breach. You may stop using the app at any time.
Declining materially updated terms places the app in limited mode rather than deleting prior acceptance or local data. Ownership, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and disputes survive termination where applicable.
9. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GROWLUX AND ITS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” UNCOMMON WEATHER DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. Product-specific limitations appear in the Product Schedule.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNCOMMON WEATHER AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, CONTRACTORS, TRANSFERORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY; OR SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO GROWLUX OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO GROWLUX WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US $100. These limits do not apply where prohibited, including non-waivable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or certain personal injury and consumer rights.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Uncommon Weather from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from unlawful use, content you had no right to use or share, infringement, intentional misuse, or material breach. This does not apply to claims caused by Uncommon Weather’s own conduct and remains subject to mandatory consumer-law limits.
12. Governing law and disputes
Before filing a claim, send a written description and requested resolution to the notice address or email and allow 30 days for informal resolution unless urgent relief or mandatory law makes that impractical. Oklahoma law governs without regard to conflicts rules. Subject to mandatory consumer venue rights, state and federal courts serving Oklahoma County, Oklahoma have exclusive jurisdiction.
These Terms do not require arbitration and do not contain a class-action waiver. Nothing limits eligible small-claims proceedings or non-waivable rights.
13. Changes and document evidence
Material changes receive a new version and require a new affirmative acceptance before ordinary use. Immutable archived copies and SHA-256 hashes identify what was presented. Continued use alone does not silently create acceptance of a materially changed document.
14. Assignment, severability, and notices
You may not assign this agreement without consent. We may assign it with the app, business, merger, reorganization, or asset sale subject to applicable law and required notice or consent. If a provision is unenforceable it will be limited to the minimum necessary and the remainder continues. Failure to enforce is not a waiver. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control.
