End User License Agreement & Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 27, 2026

ShroomVault is a location-logging tool only. It does NOT identify mushrooms. Never consume wild mushrooms without expert physical identification. Use of this app constitutes an assumption of all risks, including poisoning, injury, or trespassing. Cardboard Social LLC is not liable for any misidentification or incident occurring at tracked locations.

By using ShroomVault, you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, do not use the application.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use ShroomVault. By using the application, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.

2. License Grant

ShroomVault, operated by Cardboard Social LLC, grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the application on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these terms.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

4. Assumption of Risk and Disclaimer of Liability

ShroomVault is a location-tracking journal designed for personal record-keeping. It is not an identification tool, an educational guide, or a safety mechanism. The application contains no species identification features and makes no representations about the edibility, safety, or identity of any organism.

Foraging for wild mushrooms carries inherent and severe risks, including illness, injury, or death from consuming toxic varieties. Mushroom fruiting locations change over time, land ownership and access rules may vary, and nature is inherently unpredictable. You assume 100% of the risk associated with foraging, consuming, or interacting with wild mushrooms. You should always consult a qualified mycologist or expert before consuming any wild mushroom.

The developers of ShroomVault accept no liability for misidentifications, adverse health effects, injuries, or damages of any kind resulting from the use of this application.

5. Weather and Forecast Data Disclaimer

ShroomVault may provide weather conditions, soil temperature readings, moisture data, and species-condition forecasts as part of its premium features. This data is sourced from publicly available government weather models and processed through our own algorithms. It is provided for informational purposes only and is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or current. Weather and environmental conditions can vary significantly over short distances and change rapidly. You should never rely solely on data provided by ShroomVault when making foraging decisions.

6. Legal Compliance and Private Property

You are solely responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal laws while using this application. ShroomVault does not grant you permission to enter any land. You agree not to use the app to trespass on private property, commercial land, or protected government territory.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

ShroomVault offers an optional annual premium subscription at the price displayed in the app. Subscriptions are billed through your device's app store and are subject to that store's terms and policies.

Premium features are subject to change. We may add, modify, or remove premium features at any time.

8. Gift Keys

ShroomVault may offer redeemable gift keys that grant premium access. Gift keys are single-use and, once redeemed, are permanently tied to the specific device on which they were activated. Premium access obtained through a gift key does not transfer if you change devices, reset your device, or reinstall the application on a different device. Cardboard Social LLC is not obligated to reissue, replace, or transfer gift key entitlements under any circumstances.

9. Data Ownership, Loss, and Third-Party Transfer

Your data is stored locally on your device and backed up to your personal cloud accounts. ShroomVault is not responsible for any loss of data due to app uninstallation, device failure, file corruption, or cloud sync errors.

ShroomVault allows you to export your data to share with others. We are entirely free from liability regarding how you or any third party chooses to interpret, share, or act upon the exported coordinates or data.

10. Intellectual Property

ShroomVault, including its name, logo, design, code, algorithms, and all associated content, is the property of Cardboard Social LLC and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws. These terms do not grant you any ownership interest in the application or its content — only a limited license to use it as described herein.

Map data is provided by OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database License. Weather data is sourced from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), a public domain source.

11. Third-Party Services

ShroomVault relies on third-party services to provide certain functionality. Your use of ShroomVault constitutes acceptance of the applicable terms and privacy policies of these services, including your device's app store for subscription billing and payment processing. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of any third-party service.

12. Warranty Disclaimer

THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CARDBOARD SOCIAL LLC, SHROOMVAULT, OR ITS DEVELOPERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION.

IN NO EVENT SHALL CARDBOARD SOCIAL LLC'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO SHROOMVAULT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

14. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your license to use the application at any time, for any reason, without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the application ceases immediately. Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 15 survive termination.

15. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action arising out of these terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kansas.

16. Changes to These Terms
