  2. Steward is out to take the guesswork out of growing plants. You can use Steward online via Our Website (www.stewardhome.com) (“Website”) or via an application on various mobile devices (“App”). Together, We refer to the Website and the App as the Steward Platform (“Platform”).

General Terms

  1. We welcome You to the Steward Platform as a User or a Visitor. You are a Visitor if You do not have a registered account with Us. Visitors do not have login credentials and are only permitted to browse the publicly available portion of the Platform, register an account, or contact Us. You are a User if You have a registered account with Us and are logged into that account. Steward may itself offer services to You via the Platform (“Services”) and may in the future make services offered by third-parties (“Service Providers”) available to You. These Terms govern Your relationship with Steward, including Your use of the Platform and any Services available to You via the Platform.
  2. This Agreement is between You and Steward, Inc. Your use of any part of the Platform, whether as a Visitor or User, indicates Your agreement to these Terms. You understand that You are obliged to comply with these Terms if You continue to use the Platform or access Services via the Platform. If You do not agree to all of these Terms in their entirety, You are not authorized to, and shall not, access or utilize the Platform other than to delete Your account, if You have one, or to contact Us. To the extent that You, at some point had authorization to access the Platform, upon Your disagreement with any part of these Terms, Your authorization to use the Platform is immediately and entirely revoked.

Any changes We make to the Terms may take effect immediately. If You continue to access the Platform after We make changes to these Terms, Your continued access to, and use of the Platform shall affirm Your consent to be bound by the modified Terms. You consent to receiving electronic communications or notifications regarding modifications to these Terms by any means, including email and via text messages to Your mobile device.
  5. Even if Your User account is terminated (whether by You or Us, regardless of reason) some of these Terms survive and You remain bound by them.
