Terms of Service

Effective May 1, 2025  ·  Updated April 27, 2026

Plain-language summary: Terpenology helps you make smarter decisions about cannabis, but we are not your doctor. What you find here is information, not medical advice. You are responsible for how you use this app and for complying with the laws in your area.

1. Who We Are

Terpenology is a product of Short Point Five LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company ("we," "us," or "our"). Our mission is to provide cannabis intelligence tools for medical patients and wellness-focused users.

You can reach us at: legal@shortpointfive.com

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Terpenology (available at terpenology.app or as an installed PWA), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of Terpenology after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 21 years of age to use Terpenology, or at least 18 years of age and a registered medical cannabis patient in your jurisdiction. By using this app, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

Terpenology is intended for use only where cannabis is legal under applicable state or local law. It is your responsibility to know and comply with the laws in your area.

4. Not Medical Advice

Terpenology is an informational tool only. Nothing in this app, including strain scores, terpene analyses, effect predictions, community notes, or any output generated by the in-app AI companion (Sage, Jeff, Kira, or any future persona), constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about your health, medications, or cannabis use. Do not disregard professional medical advice based on anything you read or any conversation you have inside this app. The AI companion is designed to inform and accompany, not to diagnose or prescribe, and it will redirect clinical questions to your dispensary pharmacist.

5. Your Account

Terpenology uses a personal health profile to personalize your experience. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

You may not share your account with others or use the app on behalf of another person without their consent.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

7. Community Content

Terpenology includes a shared community strain database where users may contribute notes and ratings. By submitting content, you grant Short Point Five LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and aggregate that content to improve the app and its data.

We reserve the right to remove any community content that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be inaccurate, harmful, or in violation of these Terms.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, and data in Terpenology, including the Terpenology name and logo, are the property of Short Point Five LLC or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in any of the foregoing.

You retain ownership of the personal data you provide (your health profile, session logs, and notes). See our Privacy Policy for how we handle that data.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

Terpenology is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

We make no representations about the accuracy or completeness of any strain data, scoring, or community content in the app.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Short Point Five LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of Terpenology, including decisions made based on app content.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $10, whichever is greater.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
