Terms of Use

Last updated: June 21, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading or using IsaArboristBuddy ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Use. The App is provided by Ideas All Day Ltd.

Description of Service

IsaArboristBuddy uses artificial intelligence to identify tree species from photographs and provide information including leaf morphology, bark description, mature dimensions, USDA hardiness zones, native range, health diagnosis, disease and pest detection, care recommendations, species-specific pruning windows, and arborist-grade risk assessment. The App also offers ISA Certified Arborist exam preparation, a curated library of articles on arboriculture, and a per-tree AI chat for follow-up questions about any tree in your collection.

Disclaimer of Accuracy

Identifications, diagnoses, and recommendations provided by the App are generated by AI and are for educational and reference purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy of:

  • Species identification results
  • Health diagnoses, disease detection, or pest identification
  • Risk assessments and hazard evaluations
  • Pruning windows and care recommendations
  • USDA hardiness zone or native-range claims
  • Any safety, structural, or environmental judgments
  • ISA exam practice content (always cross-reference with official ISA materials)

IsaArboristBuddy is not a substitute for a qualified ISA Certified Arborist. For tree-failure risk assessments, hazard tree evaluations, insurance documentation, expert-witness testimony, or any decision involving public safety, large or near-target trees, tree value/appraisal, or removals — consult an in-person ISA Certified Arborist or comparable licensed professional in your jurisdiction.

Climbing & Equipment Safety

Articles about climbing systems (DdRT, SRT), knots (Blake's hitch and others), and rigging are educational reference material only. Tree climbing and rigging are inherently dangerous activities that require hands-on training under qualified instructors, proper personal protective equipment, ANSI Z133-compliant practices, and on-site judgment. Do not rely solely on the App for safety decisions. The App is not a replacement for formal arborist training.

Pesticides, Chemicals & Treatments

Any mention of trunk injections, fungicides, insecticides, or other chemical treatments is educational background only. Always follow the product label, your local pesticide laws, and (where required) employ a licensed applicator. The App does not recommend specific products and is not liable for misuse.

Conservation & Responsible Practice

We encourage tree-care practices aligned with ANSI A300 standards, ISA best management practices, the conservation of protected species, and ethical urban forestry. The App is intended to support learning, recreation, and professional practice — not to facilitate illegal removal of protected trees or unsafe DIY work on hazardous specimens.

Subscriptions

The App includes a limited number of free identifications and offers an optional Pro subscription (monthly, yearly, or lifetime) managed through Apple's App Store. Subscription terms, pricing, renewal, and cancellation are governed by Apple's terms and your App Store account settings. To cancel, go to iOS Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Intellectual Property

The App, its design, content, and underlying technology are owned by Ideas All Day Ltd. Photos you take or import remain your property. We do not claim ownership of user-submitted photos and do not retain them on our servers after processing.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the App to identify trees for the purpose of illegal removal or to circumvent local tree-protection ordinances
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the App's source code or AI models
  • Submit content you do not have the right to use
  • Use the App to harass, deceive, or impersonate others
  • Misrepresent App-generated identifications or diagnoses as certified professional opinions in commercial, legal, or insurance contexts

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ideas All Day Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including (without limitation) decisions made based on AI-generated species identifications, health diagnoses, risk assessments, care recommendations, climbing or rigging information, or pesticide and treatment references. You are responsible for verifying critical information with a licensed professional.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
