Terms of Use

Effective July 6, 2026. Dibble is provided by Handler Labs LLC.

These terms cover your use of the Dibble app and this website, both provided by Handler Labs LLC ("Handler Labs," "we," "us"). By downloading or using Dibble, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Dibble.

License

Handler Labs grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use Dibble on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple Standard EULA"), which is incorporated by reference. If any term here conflicts with the Apple Standard EULA as it applies to the app, the Apple Standard EULA governs to the extent of that conflict.

Subscriptions and purchases

Dibble Premium is optional. Premium Monthly is US$4.99 per month, an auto-renewing subscription. Premium Yearly is US$29.99 per year, an auto-renewing subscription, including a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Lifetime is US$69.99, a one-time purchase (not a subscription). Prices are shown in US dollars and may vary by region; the price applicable to you is confirmed by Apple at the time of purchase.

For the auto-renewing subscriptions: payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase; the subscription automatically renews for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends; you can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. If we change a subscription price, the new price will not take effect for you until you are notified and, where required, you consent; otherwise the subscription will not renew at the new price. Apple handles all payments and any refunds under the Apple Media Services Terms; Handler Labs does not process payments and does not issue refunds directly.

Planting and calendar information

Planting dates, reminders, and growing notes are estimates based on hardiness zones and typical local frost dates, and vary with your microclimate, soil, and weather. They are horticultural estimates, not professional advice, and are not a guarantee of any result. Treat them as a starting point and adjust to your own garden. When it matters, confirm with your local cooperative extension or agricultural authority.

Plant identification, disease diagnosis, and treatment

Plant identification and plant-disease or pest diagnosis are a best guess from a photo, produced by an on-device model, and are not a professional diagnosis. Treatment suggestions are general, organic-first guidance only. Before you treat, confirm the problem yourself, and for any product you apply, including any pesticide, fungicide, or other treatment, always read and follow the product label and all applicable local laws and regulations, and consult your local cooperative extension or agricultural authority (for example the U.S. EPA or your state, the APVMA in Australia, or the EPA in New Zealand) where appropriate. You are responsible for what you choose to apply in your garden.

Acceptable use

Use Dibble lawfully. Do not misuse the app, interfere with its operation, or reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

Your data and ownership

Dibble is local-first: your data stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, and we operate no server that stores it. You are responsible for your content and for maintaining your own device and iCloud backups. Dibble, including its software, content, and trademarks, is owned by Handler Labs or its licensors and is protected by law. Your garden data is yours. See the privacy page for details.

Disclaimers, your consumer rights, and limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dibble is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, and Handler Labs is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for crop loss, plant loss, or other garden outcomes, arising from your use of Dibble.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that applies to you and cannot lawfully be excluded. In Australia, our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law; where permitted, our liability for failing to comply with a consumer guarantee in respect of services not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use is limited to re-supplying the services or paying the cost of having them re-supplied. In New Zealand, if you acquire Dibble as a consumer, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies and its guarantees cannot be contracted out of. In the United States and Canada, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights under your local law.

Except as required by those non-excludable rights, our total liability to you for any claim relating to Dibble is limited to the amount you paid us (through Apple) for Dibble in the 12 months before the claim.

Apple

These Terms are between you and Handler Labs, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Dibble or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, or to handle any warranty claim. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a user.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms; we will update the effective date above and post the new version here, and highlight material changes in the app. Your continued use after an update means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Florida. This does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protection of the country or state where you live, including the Australian Consumer Law, the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, and applicable US state law, and does not require you to bring a claim outside your local courts where local law gives you that right.

Language

These Terms were written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only; if there is any conflict between the English version and a translation, the English version governs, except where applicable local law requires the local-language version to prevail.
