Terms & conditions

1. About these terms

These terms form an agreement between you and [company name] (“we”, “us”), the operator of Cannotate (“the app”). By downloading, installing or using the app — including confirming “I agree to the Terms” during setup — you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. Who can use Cannotate

Cannotate is intended only for people who:

• are aged 18 or over,
• are in the United Kingdom, and
• have been prescribed cannabis-based medicine.

You confirm that you meet these requirements when you set up the app. Cannotate is a private record-keeping tool; it does not check your prescription status, and eligibility is your own declaration.

3. What Cannotate is — and is not

Cannotate is a UK-only, adult personal record-keeping application. It lets you record product details, amounts you report using and your own wellness observations, and view simple descriptive summaries of your own entries.

• It does not sell or facilitate the acquisition of cannabis, and contains no clinic, pharmacy or product referral links.
• It does not diagnose, monitor a medical condition, recommend products or ingredients, calculate dosage, assess effectiveness, provide safety alerts or advise treatment changes.
• Prescription text is read on your device, and every extracted field requires your confirmation. Records are marked “Not verified by Cannotate”.
• Charts are simple descriptive summaries of information you entered. They perform no product-outcome correlation, prediction or clinical interpretation.

4. Not medical advice

Nothing in Cannotate — including catalogue entries, summaries or exports — is medical advice, a medical opinion or a treatment recommendation. Always speak to your prescriber or pharmacist about your medicine, and never start, stop or change a dose because of something in the app.

In an emergency, call 999. For urgent medical help or advice, use NHS 111.

5. Your records and your responsibilities

• You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter. Records reflect your own confirmation, not our verification.
• Your records are stored on your device. We cannot recover them for you — use Export data regularly if you want a backup.
• Exports are marked “Personal record — not a prescription” and must not be represented as an official document.
• You are responsible for keeping your device and app lock secure.

6. Privacy

Your use of Cannotate is also covered by our privacy notice, which explains what stays on your iPhone, the minimal data that leaves it, and your choices.

7. Remove Ads Forever purchase

Cannotate offers a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase, “Remove Ads Forever”, which permanently removes advertising. Every feature of the app is free; the purchase only removes adverts.

• The purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store under Apple’s own terms; pricing is shown by the App Store before you buy.
• Your purchase is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on your other devices using Apple’s restore mechanism.
• Refund requests are handled by Apple under App Store policies.

8. Advertising

The free version of the app displays banner advertising supplied by Google AdMob in limited areas. Adverts never appear during onboarding or while you are editing a record. Your advertising consent choices can be managed at any time in Settings.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the app for any unlawful purpose, or to supply, sell or promote controlled drugs;
• misrepresent app exports or records as official medical or prescription documents;
• attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer or scrape the app, the catalogue API or related infrastructure, beyond what the law permits;
• use the app on behalf of anyone under 18.

10. Intellectual property and catalogue data

The Cannotate app, brand and design are owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on your own devices in line with these terms.

The product catalogue is provided for personal reference only and may be incomplete, out of date or pending source review. Parts of the evidence catalogue are derived from NHSBSA data and are used under the Open Government Licence: “Based on the manually maintained data provided by Prescription Services, NHSBSA Copyright 2026”. Catalogue entries are factual references, not endorsements or recommendations.

11. No sale or facilitation of cannabis

Cannotate is not a marketplace, pharmacy or referral service. Nothing in the app connects you with suppliers, and you must not use it to arrange the supply of any controlled substance.

12. Disclaimers

The app and catalogue are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranties that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or that catalogue data will be complete or current. Summaries and charts depend entirely on the information you enter.

13. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be excluded under UK law. Your statutory rights as a consumer (including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015) are not affected.

Subject to that, we are not liable for losses arising from: decisions made about your medicine (which must always be taken with your prescriber or pharmacist); loss of on-device data where you have not exported it; or indirect or consequential losses.

14. Changes to these terms or the app

We may update these terms or change the app from time to time. The “last updated” date shows the current version. If a change is material, we will highlight it in the app or on this page. If you continue using the app after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction.
