Terms of use.

Website and mobile application conditions of use.

Hatchpedia is an informational service.

Hatchpedia helps users identify and learn about aquatic insects and related fishing flies using plain-language search terms and curated information. Users can filter results using the current date and location, or by choosing a supported region and custom date. Hatchpedia makes a best effort to provide useful results, but does not warrant, expressly or impliedly, that an identification, recommendation, or other result is complete or accurate.

Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to Hatchpedia's Privacy Policy, which explains our data practices.

Electronic Communications

When you create or manage an account, subscribe, or contact us through our Contact page, we may provide transactional or service communications electronically, including through the Services or by email. You agree that agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This provision does not require you to consent to marketing messages.

Your Account

If you create a Hatchpedia website account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your devices, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that Hatchpedia is not responsible for third party access to your account that results from theft or misappropriation of your account. Hatchpedia and its associates reserve the right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content in our sole discretion.

An App Store subscription is associated with the Apple Account used for the purchase. It does not create a Hatchpedia website account. Use the app's restore function and Apple's subscription-management tools for an App Store subscription.

Children Under Thirteen

Hatchpedia does not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personal information from persons under the age of thirteen. If you are under 18, you may use the Services only with permission of a parent or guardian.

Cancellation/Refund Policy

Please see the appropriate subscription terms section on this page for details regarding your chosen subscription, cancellation and refund policy.

Links to Third Party Sites/Third Party Services

The Services may contain links to other websites ("Linked Sites"). The Linked Sites are not under the control of Hatchpedia and Hatchpedia is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including without limitation any link contained in a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site. Hatchpedia is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Hatchpedia of the site or any association with its operators.

Certain features depend on third-party providers, including Stripe for website payment processing and Apple for App Store distribution, billing, and subscription management. Their applicable terms and policies also govern the services they provide. Our Privacy Policy describes how information is handled in connection with our service providers.

Hatchpedia reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Hatchpedia in asserting any available defenses.

Arbitration

In the event the parties are not able to resolve any dispute between them arising out of or concerning these Terms and Conditions, or any provisions hereof, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association, or a similar arbitration service selected by the parties, in a location mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator's award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. In the event that any legal or equitable action, proceeding or arbitration arises out of or concerns these Terms and Conditions, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney's fees. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims in regards to these Terms and Conditions or any disputes arising as a result of these Terms and Conditions, whether directly or indirectly, including Tort claims that are a result of these Terms and Conditions. The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be determined by the Arbitrator. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms and Conditions.

Class Action Waiver

Any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and Hatchpedia agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Hatchpedia reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Services or any portion thereof at any time, without notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Tennessee in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Services.

Subscriptions purchased through Apple's App Store.

Subscription terms

Hatchpedia offers monthly and annual auto-renewing subscriptions through Apple's in-app purchase system. The localized price, billing period, and any introductory offer shown in the app and Apple's purchase confirmation control your purchase. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple and may differ by Apple Account.

Apple bills the payment method associated with your Apple Account according to the purchase confirmation it presents. When a free trial is offered and accepted, the paid subscription begins automatically after the trial unless you cancel through Apple. Deleting Hatchpedia does not cancel an App Store subscription.

Cancellation and refunds

Manage or cancel an App Store subscription in your Apple Account settings. Apple advises canceling a trial at least 24 hours before it ends if you do not want it to renew. See Apple's subscription-cancellation instructions.

Apple processes App Store charges and determines refund eligibility under its terms and applicable law. Refund requests for an App Store purchase must be submitted to Apple through Report a Problem.
