FungiLens - Terms

Effective date: October 9, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your download, access to and use of the FungiLens – Mushroom Identifier mobile application, including its notifications, AI features and any related services (together, the "App"). The App is developed and provided by Furkan Kaya ("Developer", "we", "us" or "our").

By downloading, installing or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App and delete it from your device.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

2. What FungiLens is — and what it is not

FungiLens is an educational field-guide tool. It suggests possible species for mushroom photos, shows reference information, lookalikes and seasons, and lets you keep a private journal of your finds.

FungiLens is not a safety approval, and you must never eat, touch, smell-test or give anyone a wild mushroom because of anything you saw in the App. In particular:

  • Identification results are suggestions, not identifications. They can be wrong, including confusing an edible species with a deadly one. Many deadly mushrooms (for example Amanita phalloides, the death cap) look similar to edible species and cannot be reliably identified from photos.
  • Edibility labels, lookalikes, season information and descriptions are general reference information from our curated data. They may be incomplete, out of date or not apply to the specimen, region or person in question. Some people react badly even to species commonly considered edible.
  • Always have a find confirmed in person by a qualified local expert (for example a mycological society or a trained mushroom inspector) before any consumption, and follow local laws and guidance.
  • If you suspect mushroom poisoning — in a person or an animal — contact your local emergency number or poison control centre immediately, even if there are no symptoms yet. Some deadly mushrooms cause symptoms only many hours later. The App is not an emergency service and is not monitored by any person.
  • The App does not provide medical, veterinary or legal advice.
  • Information about psychoactive species is provided for safety and identification only. Possessing or consuming such species is illegal in many countries, and we do not encourage it.

You are responsible for foraging lawfully and safely, including respecting private property, nature reserves, protected species, collection limits and local regulations.

3. AI features

Identification and the Expert AI use artificial intelligence provided through our server by a third party (Google Gemini). Nothing is sent until you allow AI analysis in the App. You understand and agree that:

  • AI output is generated automatically, may be incorrect, incomplete, out of date or inappropriate, and is not reviewed by a human before you see it.
  • Edibility is never decided by the AI. Expert AI answers are general information only and are never a confirmation that a mushroom is safe to eat.
  • You must not submit photos or text that contain other people's personal data without their permission, or any content that is unlawful, harmful, offensive or infringes anyone's rights.
  • We may limit, change or suspend AI features at any time, including usage limits, to protect the service from abuse.

4. Subscriptions, free trials and payments

The App is free to download. Some features ("FungiLens Pro") require a paid auto-renewing subscription purchased through Apple's App Store.

  • Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. Prices are shown in the App before purchase and may vary by country and change over time.
  • Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Free trials. If a free trial is offered, it is shown on the purchase screen together with its length. When the trial ends, your subscription starts automatically and you are charged unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Trials are limited to one per Apple ID, as determined by Apple.
  • Introductory and special offers are available only to eligible users, for a limited time and on the terms shown at the time of the offer.
  • Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your device's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access to Pro until then.
  • Refunds. All purchases are processed by Apple. We do not have access to your payment details and cannot issue refunds ourselves. Refund requests must be made to Apple at https://reportaproblem.apple.com and are subject to Apple's policies. Except where required by applicable law, payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods.
  • Restoring purchases. You can restore an active subscription on a new device signed in with the same Apple ID using "Restore" in the App.

We may change the features included in Pro, add new paid features or change prices. Price changes for existing subscriptions are handled by Apple and notified to you as required by Apple and applicable law.

5. Your data and your device

Your journal, photos, identification history and settings are stored locally on your device. We do not offer cloud backup or accounts, so if you delete the App, reset or lose your device, your data may be permanently lost and we cannot restore it. Please read our Privacy Policy for details on how data is handled.

6. License and acceptable use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.

You agree not to:

  • copy, modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the App;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or try to extract the source code, models, prompts or underlying ideas of the App, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
  • circumvent or interfere with subscriptions, access controls, usage limits or security features;
  • use bots, scripts or automated means to access the App or its AI features, or send excessive requests;
  • use the App for any unlawful, harmful or fraudulent purpose, or in a way that could damage, disable or overload our services;
  • sell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise commercially exploit the App.

7. Intellectual property

The App and all of its content, including its design, text, graphics, illustrations, icons, logos, software, and the "FungiLens" name and the "Pip" mascot, are owned by the Developer or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership rights to you. Any feedback or suggestions you send us may be used by us freely and without any obligation to you.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services, including Apple (App Store, in-app purchases, App Attest and notifications), Adapty (subscription management), Google Firebase Analytics (usage analytics, if enabled), Google's Gemini API (AI features) used through our server, and Wikimedia Commons (species photographs, used under their respective licences and credited in the App). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, content or websites, including poison-control numbers and external websites linked from the App, and their availability or accuracy.

9. Changes, availability and termination

We may update, change, suspend or discontinue the App or any feature, in whole or in part, at any time and without liability to you. We do not guarantee that the App will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with your device or operating system version, or that any data will be kept. You may need to install updates to keep using the App.

We may suspend or terminate your license immediately, without notice, if you breach these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it (and cancelling any subscription through Apple). On termination, the license granted to you ends and you must stop using the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 14.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND ALL CONTENT, IDENTIFICATION RESULTS AND AI OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ANY IDENTIFICATION, EDIBILITY LABEL OR AI ANSWER IS CORRECT. YOU USE THE APP AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DECISIONS ABOUT FORAGING, HANDLING AND EATING MUSHROOMS.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR HEALTH, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE APP, ANY IDENTIFICATION RESULT, EDIBILITY INFORMATION OR AI OUTPUT, OR YOUR RELIANCE ON THEM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS (USD 50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Developer from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

13. Apple-specific terms

These Terms are between you and the Developer only, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) of the App; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement or discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. Where these Terms are silent, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) applies.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and enforcement offices of Istanbul, Türkiye. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country where the law gives you that right. Before starting any formal proceedings, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and, where the changes are material, we may also let you know in the App. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. General

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a sale, merger or transfer of the App. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.

17. Contact

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact:
