Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Spotter Species ID ("Spotter", "the app"), operated by Simon Forster (sole trader), 16 Prince of Wales Close, South Shields, NE34 6QT. By using Spotter you agree to these terms.

The service

Spotter is a species identification quiz app. We provide a free tier and paid species sets which can be unlocked via in-app purchase. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the service at any time with reasonable notice.

Your account

You may use Spotter without an account. To save your progress or purchase sets you must sign in using Google or Facebook. You are responsible for keeping your account secure. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.

Purchases

• Species sets are sold as one-time purchases and are tied to your account.
• Purchases are processed by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details.
• All prices are in GBP and include VAT where applicable.
• Purchases are non-refundable except where required by law. Under UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, digital content is not refundable once download or use has begun, provided you have acknowledged this at the time of purchase.
• If you delete your account, your purchased sets will be permanently lost and are not refundable.

Content

All species illustrations, descriptions, clues and facts in Spotter are the property of Simon Forster / Spotter Species ID. You may not reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit this content without written permission.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of species information but make no warranty as to its completeness or suitability for any particular purpose. Spotter is an educational tool — do not rely on it for safety-critical identification (for example, identifying edible versus poisonous species).

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape or copy the app or its content
• Use the app in any way that breaches applicable law
• Share or resell access to purchased sets
• Attempt to circumvent any access controls or payment systems

Intellectual property

The Spotter name, logo, and all app content are owned by Simon Forster. Nothing in these terms grants you any rights to use them.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Simon Forster shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising from your use of Spotter. Our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that cannot be excluded under English law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify you of material changes via the app.
