Terms of Use
Educational Purpose Only
FieldMonocle is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a professional botanical, mycological, entomological, or medical service. No content in this app constitutes expert advice, expert confirmation, or professional guidance of any kind.
AI Can Be Wrong
The identification results produced by this app are generated by an artificial intelligence model. AI can produce incorrect, misleading, or incomplete results. Confidence scores are estimates only and do not guarantee accuracy. Species identification — especially of fungi, wild plants, and insects — requires physical examination by a qualified expert.
No Consumption Guidance
Do not eat, drink, smoke, brew, tincture, or medically use any wild plant, mushroom, berry, or organism based solely on a result from this app. Many dangerous or deadly species are nearly indistinguishable from edible ones in photographs. Misidentification can cause serious injury or death.
No Medical Advice
Nothing in this app constitutes medical advice. For any suspected poisoning, toxic exposure, allergic reaction, or medical emergency, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222 in the US) or emergency services immediately.
Limitation of Liability
The creators, developers, and operators of FieldMonocle assume no liability for any injury, illness, death, property damage, or other harm arising from the use of, or reliance on, information provided by this app. You use this app entirely at your own risk.
Privacy
Photos uploaded to FieldMonocle are processed to strip location metadata (EXIF GPS data) before any AI analysis. We do not store uploaded photos unless you explicitly save a find to "My Finds." See our privacy policy for full details.
By using FieldMonocle, you confirm that you have read and agreed to these terms and understand the limitations and risks of AI-based identification.
