These terms govern the use of the Catacapea app, provided by Hundredjack OÜ, a private limited company under Estonian law, registry code 17310584, VAT number EE102905090, registered office Telliskivi tn 57, 10412 Tallinn, Estonia, email [email protected]. By using the app you accept them.
1. The service
Catacapea estimates where and when mushrooms are most likely, combining weather data, maps of the land, public reports and a calculation model. These are estimates: we don’t guarantee that there are mushrooms at a spot, nor that third-party data is always accurate, up to date or available.
2. Safety: read carefully
Identify is not an identification. It suggests possibilities and reminds you of dangerous look-alikes, but it can be wrong. No result in the app means a mushroom is safe to eat.
Always have your harvest checked by an official mushroom inspector (in Italy the free mycological inspectorate of the ASL) before eating it or giving it away.
If you feel unwell after eating mushrooms, call the emergency number 112 and a poison centre.
In the mountains and woods you are responsible for your own safety: weather, trails, times, hunting season.
Respect the picking rules of the place where you are (permits, quantities, days and hours), protected areas and private property. The rules shown in the app are a help: the official text of the region, canton or state prevails.
3. Account
To use the app you need a personal account, created with Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. You are responsible for what happens with your account. You can delete it at any time from Profile › Delete account.
4. Free plan and subscription
The app is free to use, with the features of the free plan. For everything, there is the Pro subscription: €5.99 per month (the first month €3.99, for those who have never had a subscription) or €49.99 per year. Prices include VAT; the valid prices are always those shown in the app at the time of purchase.
A new account gets a few days of Pro as a gift (the app says how long). No payment method is needed and nothing renews: at the end it moves to the free plan by itself. We may offer the same gift, for a limited time, to existing accounts.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends.
You can manage or cancel the subscription on iPhone in Settings › your name › Subscriptions, on Android in Google Play › Payments and subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid; after that you stay on the free plan.
Refunds and withdrawal follow Apple’s or Google’s terms, including the 14-day right of withdrawal for purchases in the European Union (reportaproblem.apple.com, play.google.com).
The Base plan is no longer sold: those who have it keep it, with its limits (radius up to 15 km, forecast for today and tomorrow, 3 saved spots, 2 identifications a month), until they cancel it.
5. What the plans include
Free, with these limits:
analysis of an area with a radius up to 3 km: around your location, or a point you choose on the map and can change once a week;
today’s forecast;
the 3 best spots;
1 saved spot and 1 recorded day at a time;
1 identification a month.
By watching a short ad video you can unlock, until midnight, the other best spots or tomorrow’s forecast.
Pro: the whole app, that is search wherever the app works (Italy, Italian-speaking Switzerland, Austria and Bavaria), radius up to 100 km, 7-day forecast, the 10 best spots, unlimited spots and days, offline map of the area, “flush coming” notification and up to 100 identifications a month as a fair-use limit.
Compass, picking rules, mushroom guide, safety information and poison centres are always available on every plan.
We may change the features of the plans to improve the service. If a change is to your disadvantage, we tell you before the renewal.
6. Permitted use
The app is for personal use. It is not allowed to extract or resell the data, automate requests, get around the plan limits or use the app in a way that harms the service or the data providers.
7. Ownership and third-party data
The app, the calculation model and the texts belong to the provider. Third-party data remains with its owners, under their licences: see “Sources and licences”.
8. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage resulting from eating mushrooms, from accidents during outings or from decisions based on the app’s estimates. Liability for intent and gross negligence and the rights the law grants consumers in a mandatory way remain unaffected.
9. Licence
The app distributed through the App Store is licensed under Apple’s standard End User License Agreement (EULA): apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. These terms supplement it.
10. Changes and suspension
We may update these terms: the date at the top shows the latest version and we let you know about important changes. We may suspend an account that breaches these terms.
11. Law and jurisdiction
Estonian law applies. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the mandatory protections of the country where you live still apply (Regulation (EU) 593/2008, Art. 6), and for any dispute you can go to the court of your place of residence, which is also the only one before which you can be sued (Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, Art. 18).
