Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using plant-hardiness-zone-micro-climate-adjuster.hub2.day (“the site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
Purpose and Informational Use Only
The Plant Hardiness Zone Micro-Climate Adjuster is a convenience tool that helps gardeners explore how micro-climate factors (such as urban heat islands, south-facing walls, wind exposure, and elevation changes) may affect the effective hardiness zone for a specific property.
The site provides informational content only. It is not a substitute for professional advice, including but not limited to advice from horticulturists, agronomists, landscape architects, or local extension services.
No Professional Advice
Nothing on the site constitutes professional gardening, agricultural, landscaping, engineering, or legal advice. You are responsible for verifying any information from the site against official sources (such as the USDA, local extension offices, or qualified professionals) before making planting or construction decisions.
Verification of Outputs
You should independently verify the site’s outputs and recommendations. Micro-climate conditions can be complex and site-specific; the adjuster provides estimates based on general factors and may not reflect all conditions on your property.
Lawful Use
You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. You must not:
- use the site to plan or support illegal activities,
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its infrastructure,
- interfere with the site’s operation or security,
- use automated tools to scrape or collect data from the site without permission, or
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

The site may display advertisements (including Google AdSense) and link to third-party content. We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or availability of third-party content or ads. Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and those advertisers.
Intellectual Property
The site’s design, text, graphics, and software are owned by or licensed to the site operator and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the site’s content without explicit permission, except for personal, non-commercial use where permitted by law.

Disclaimers
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the site will be accurate, complete, reliable, or free of errors or viruses.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator and its service providers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the site.
In no event will our total liability exceed the amount you have paid to access the site (if any) or USD $50, whichever is greater.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the site operator and its service providers from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site or violation of these terms.
Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the site operator is based, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.
