These terms and conditions applies to the Animal Scat Identifier app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created by Abdulmonem Dakheel (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Freemium service.

Upon downloading or utilizing the Application, you are automatically agreeing to the following terms. It is strongly advised that you thoroughly read and understand these terms prior to using the Application. Unauthorized copying, modification of the Application, any part of the Application, or our trademarks is strictly prohibited. Any attempts to extract the source code of the Application, translate the Application into other languages, or create derivative versions are not permitted. All trademarks, copyrights, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to the Application remain the property of the Service Provider.

Important Disclaimer

THIS APPLICATION IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The animal scat identification results, freshness assessments, danger ratings, diet clues, habitat notes, and trail safety guidance provided by this Application are generated by artificial intelligence and must not be used as the sole basis for wildlife encounter, backcountry travel, or emergency decisions.

DO NOT RISK YOUR SAFETY BASED ON ANALYSIS FROM THIS APPLICATION. Fresh sign may mean an animal is still nearby. If you are on the trail and uncertain about a situation, consult qualified professionals such as park rangers, wildlife biologists, or local authorities. Never delay seeking appropriate help because of information from this Application.

Identification accuracy depends on multiple factors including image quality, lighting conditions, sample visibility, and angle of the photograph. While we provide confidence scores and safety indicators with each identification, no AI-based identification can be 100% certain. Scat from different species can look similar, especially when weathered or partially obscured.

Important considerations:

• Verify with professionals before making safety-critical trail decisions based on identification results.
• Wildlife sign varies by season, diet, age, substrate, and regional populations.
• Consult experts for bear or large-carnivore encounters, regulated hunting areas, or official park guidance.
• Follow local regulations and posted advisories in parks, refuges, and backcountry areas.
• Do not rely on AI chat for emergency guidance — contact appropriate emergency or park services.

The Service Provider accepts no liability for any injury, wildlife encounter, property damage, financial loss, or other harm resulting from actions taken based on the identification results or guidance provided by this Application.

AI Analysis (OpenAI)

The Application uses OpenAI to analyze photos you submit and to power AI-assisted features, including scat identification, safety summaries, and chat. By using these features, you acknowledge that your images and related text may be transmitted to OpenAI for processing, subject to OpenAI's terms and policies. AI-generated results are estimates only and are not professional wildlife surveys, field inspections, or official safety advisories.

Service Modifications and Charges

The Service Provider is dedicated to ensuring that the Application is as beneficial and efficient as possible. As such, they reserve the right to modify the Application or charge for their services at any time and for any reason. The Service Provider assures you that any charges for the Application or its services will be clearly communicated to you.

Data Storage and Device Security

The Application stores and processes personal data that you have provided to the Service Provider in order to provide the Service. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your phone and access to the Application. The Service Provider strongly advise against jailbreaking or rooting your phone, which involves removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. Such actions could expose your phone to malware, viruses, malicious programs, compromise your phone's security features, and may result in the Application not functioning correctly or at all.

Third-Party Services

Please note that the Application utilizes third-party services that have their own Terms and Conditions. Below are the links to the Terms and Conditions of the third-party service providers used by the Application:

• OpenAI — used to analyze images and power AI identification and chat features
• Google Play Services
• PostHog
• Superwall
• RevenueCat

Internet Connection and Data Usage

Please be aware that the Service Provider does not assume responsibility for certain aspects. Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, which can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider. The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of access to Wi-Fi or if you have exhausted your data allowance.

If you are using the application outside of a Wi-Fi area, please be aware that your mobile network provider's agreement terms still apply. Consequently, you may incur charges from your mobile provider for data usage during the connection to the application, or other third-party charges. By using the application, you accept responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the application outside of your home territory (i.e., region or country) without disabling data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you are using the application, they assume that you have obtained permission from the bill payer.

Device Responsibility

Similarly, the Service Provider cannot always assume responsibility for your usage of the application. For instance, it is your responsibility to ensure that your device remains charged. If your device runs out of battery and you are unable to access the Service, the Service Provider cannot be held responsible.

Service Provider's Liability

In terms of the Service Provider's responsibility for your use of the application, it is important to note that while they strive to ensure that it is updated and accurate at all times, they do rely on third parties (including OpenAI) to provide information and analysis so that they can make it available to you. The Service Provider accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, that you experience as a result of relying entirely on this functionality of the application, including any trail safety or wildlife-related consequences.

Application Updates and Termination

The Service Provider may wish to update the application at some point. The application is currently available as per the requirements for the operating system (and for any additional systems they decide to extend the availability of the application to) may change, and you will need to download the updates if you want to continue using the application. The Service Provider does not guarantee that it will always update the application so that it is relevant to you and/or compatible with the particular operating system version installed on your device. However, you agree to always accept updates to the application when offered to you. The Service Provider may also wish to cease providing the application and may terminate its use at any time without providing termination notice to you. Unless they inform you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must cease using the application, and (if necessary) delete it from your device.

Changes to These Terms and Conditions

The Service Provider may periodically update their Terms and Conditions. Therefore, you are advised to review this page regularly for any changes. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms and Conditions on this page.

These terms and conditions are effective as of 2026-06-03.
