Terms of Service & EULA
Effective date: 2026-06-28 · Last updated: 2026-06-28
These Terms govern your use of the Verde mobile application ("Verde", the "App") provided by Xuchen Sun ("we", "us", "our"). They also serve as the End User License Agreement (EULA) for the App.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, accessing, or using Verde, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Verde. If you are using Verde on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your region, if higher) to use Verde. By using Verde you represent that you meet this requirement and that you are able to form a binding contract.
3. Your Account
Verde uses Sign in with Apple to create and access your account. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your device and Apple ID secure. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
4. License to Use Verde
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download and use Verde for your own non-commercial use on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, sell, rent, or distribute the App except as expressly permitted.
5. Acceptable Use & Community Rules
Verde is a community. To keep it safe, you agree not to create, upload, post, share, or transmit any content, or engage in any conduct, that:
- is objectionable, obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit;
- sexualizes, endangers, exploits, or otherwise harms minors in any way;
- is hateful, harassing, bullying, threatening, or promotes discrimination or violence against any individual or group;
- is defamatory, libelous, or knowingly false;
- depicts or encourages self-harm, dangerous activities, or illegal acts;
- infringes anyone's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
- is spam, fraudulent, deceptive, or a scam, including impersonation of others;
- contains malware, or attempts to hack, disrupt, scrape, or overload the service;
- collects or misuses other users' personal or health information;
- violates any applicable law or regulation.
6. Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content & Abuse
Zero tolerance. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users on Verde. Content that violates Section 5 may be removed, and users who post it or who harass or abuse others may be suspended or permanently banned — at our discretion and without prior notice.
7. Reporting, Blocking & Enforcement
We provide tools so the community can stay safe:
- Report: Every post, comment, chat message, and profile includes a way to report objectionable content or behavior.
- Block: You can block any user, which prevents them from contacting you or interacting with your content.
- Filtering & moderation: We use a combination of automated and manual measures to detect and review objectionable content.
- 24-hour action: We aim to review reports of objectionable content and act within 24 hours by removing the content and ejecting the offending user where warranted.
To report content or a user, use the in-app report function, or contact sunxuchen1991@gmail.com.
8. Your Content & License
You own your content. You retain ownership of the posts, comments, messages, photos, and other content you create in Verde. To operate the service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of providing and improving Verde and as directed by you (for example, showing your post to people you share it with). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have already shared or where retention is required by law, and for reasonable backup copies that are cycled out in the ordinary course.
You are solely responsible for your content and represent that you have the rights necessary to share it and that it does not violate these Terms or any law.
9. Health & Safety Disclaimer
Verde is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Information in Verde, including activity, fitness, and health metrics, is for general informational and motivational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any exercise program. Physical activity carries inherent risks; you participate at your own risk.
When using location or route features, stay aware of your surroundings and follow local laws. Consider who can see routes or locations you choose to share.
10. Third-Party Services & App Store
Verde relies on Apple (Sign in with Apple) and Cloudflare (Workers, D1, R2) to function. Your use of the App is also subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. These third parties are not responsible for the App, and your relationship with them is governed by their own terms.
11. Our Intellectual Property
Verde, including its software, design, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Xuchen Sun and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.
12. Disclaimers
Verde is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that Verde will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that content from other users is accurate or appropriate.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Xuchen Sun will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of Verde. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Xuchen Sun from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your content, your use of Verde, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others.
15. Termination
You may stop using Verde and delete your account at any time from within the App (Settings > Account > Delete Account), which removes your account and associated data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, including for objectionable content or abusive behavior, with or without notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (for example ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.
16. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be subject to the courts or dispute-resolution process of Ontario, Canada, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, notify you within the App. Your continued use of Verde after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
18. Apple-Specific Terms (EULA)
The following terms apply because Verde is licensed through the Apple App Store. They supplement the EULA above; if there is a conflict, these Apple-specific terms control with respect to your use on Apple devices.
- Parties: This EULA is between you and Xuchen Sun only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for Verde or its content.
- Scope: The license granted is limited to use of Verde on Apple-branded devices you own or control and as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
- Maintenance & support: Xuchen Sun, not Apple, is solely responsible for support and maintenance.
- Warranty: If Verde fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Verde.
- Product claims: Xuchen Sun, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to Verde, including product liability, legal/regulatory compliance, and consumer protection claims.
- Intellectual property: Xuchen Sun, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party intellectual property infringement claims relating to Verde.
- Legal compliance: You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list.
- Third-party beneficiary: Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA and may enforce it against you.
