Terms of Service

1 Agreement & eligibility

By creating an account or using LEAF, you agree to these Terms. You must be 21 or older and able to form a binding contract. If you don't agree, don't use LEAF.

2 What LEAF is (and isn't)

LEAF is a personal record-keeping and reference application for documenting cigars you have chosen to consume. LEAF does not sell tobacco, facilitate the purchase of tobacco, provide retailer or affiliate links, or provide medical or health advice. "Where bought" and price fields are informational notes for your own records, never a transaction. Where LEAF points out cigars with a similar profile, that is reference information drawn from catalog details — not advice, not an endorsement, and not a suggestion to buy or consume anything (see §10).

3 Your account

Sign in with Apple is the only way to sign in to LEAF, so your access depends on your Apple ID. You're responsible for activity under your account and for keeping that Apple ID secure. Tell us promptly of any unauthorized use. You can export your journal, or permanently delete your account and everything in it, from Settings → Account at any time (see §8 and §12).

4 Your content & the two licenses

Your data lives in two forms, and you grant a different, limited license for each:

(a) Your private journal. Your logs, ratings, reviews, tasting notes, your own read of a cigar's strength and body, and your photos are yours. You grant LEAF a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, back up, process, and display this content to you solely to operate the service. We do not make it public or share it.

(b) Cigar facts you add to the catalog. If you add a cigar the catalog lacks, its objective facts (brand, line, wrapper, origin, size) enter LEAF's shared catalog. For those facts you grant LEAF a perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to store, reproduce, standardize spelling and formatting, correct inaccuracies, merge duplicate entries, translate or restructure, display to other users, and remove inaccurate or inappropriate entries. Facts about a product are generally not owned as creative expression; any original description or photograph you add stays your content under (a), and you confirm you have the rights to it.

5 The catalog & cigars you add

LEAF's cigar catalog is shared reference data. If you add a cigar the catalog is missing, its factual details enter the shared catalog for everyone (see §4(b)); your opinions (rating, review, tasting notes, photo) stay on your private log and are never written into the shared catalog.

6 Brands & trademarks

Cigar brand names, product-line names, logos, bands, and packaging are the trademarks and property of their respective owners. Their appearance in LEAF is nominative reference for journaling and does not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation; LEAF is an independent record-keeping service. Rights holders may email support@leafcigars.fyi to report inaccurate or infringing catalog material, and LEAF may correct, remove, or modify submitted catalog content.

7 Acceptable use

Don't misuse LEAF: no unlawful use, no scraping or automated bulk access, no attempts to break security or access others' data, and no uploading content you don't have the rights to or that is unlawful.

8 Service changes & your data

LEAF may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time, and does not guarantee that every catalog record, photo, or journal entry will remain continuously available. You can export your private journal at any time in Settings → Account, and except where immediate action is required for security or legal reasons, if we permanently terminate your account you'll have a reasonable opportunity to export it first. If you delete your account yourself, the export is no longer available afterwards — take it first if you want it.

9 Our intellectual property

The LEAF software, interface, design, catalog structure, name, and branding are owned by LEAF and its operator and protected by intellectual-property laws; nothing here transfers those rights to you.

10 Disclaimers & tobacco risk

LEAF is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Catalog information may be incomplete or inaccurate and is not a guarantee about any product. LEAF is a record-keeping and informational service. It is not medical, health, or safety advice, and makes no representation that consuming cigars is safe or lower-risk than any other tobacco product. Tobacco use is associated with serious health risks. Ratings, tasting notes, and catalog data describe user experiences and preferences only. Similar-profile suggestions are generated from catalog details; they are not a guarantee of similarity, a claim about how a cigar will taste or affect you, or a recommendation to buy or consume anything.

11 Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including certain consumer rights. Subject to that, to the maximum extent permitted by law: LEAF and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data or profits; and total liability for any claim is limited to US$100.

12 Termination & changes

You can stop using LEAF at any time, and delete your account from Settings → Account. Deletion permanently erases your account and your journal — every log, rating, tasting note, and photo — and cannot be undone; facts you contributed to the shared catalog stay in the catalog under §4(b). We may suspend or end access for violations of these Terms. We may update these Terms; if we make material changes we'll surface them in the app, and continued use means you accept them.

13 Governing law & general

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Cobb County, Georgia have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any non-waivable consumer rights. LEAF may assign these Terms (for example, in a merger or acquisition); you may not assign yours without our consent. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including the content licenses, disclaimers, liability limits, and these general terms, survive.
