Terms of Service
Last updated: 11 May 2026
By accessing and using TheHostaFarm.com you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Content and accuracy
We publish horticultural information drawn from public sources (notably the American Hosta Society Registry) and our own editorial research. We aim for accuracy, but we make no warranty as to the correctness, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any information on the site. Cultivar performance varies with local conditions; verify guidance with a regional extension service or qualified nursery before making purchasing or care decisions.
2. Permitted use
Content on the site (text, photographs, illustrations, data tables) is owned by TheHostaFarm Editorial Team or licensed from third parties (such as Wikimedia Commons contributors and the photographers who licence individual images under Creative Commons). You may:
- Read, print, and save pages for personal, non-commercial use.
- Quote brief passages with attribution to “TheHostaFarm.com” and a link back to the source page.
You may not:
- Republish, mirror, or sell the content in whole or in substantial part.
- Scrape the site at a rate or volume that interferes with service for other users.
- Use the content to train commercial AI models without prior written permission.
Photographs licensed under Creative Commons appear with their author and licence in the figure caption; you are bound by the terms of that licence if you reuse the image, not by these Terms.
3. Affiliate and advertising disclosure
This site is supported by display advertising (Google AdSense) and affiliate links to nursery and retail partners. We may earn a commission on purchases made via affiliate links at no additional cost to you. Our editorial recommendations are not influenced by commission rates.
4. User submissions
If you submit comments, photos, or other material, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the material in connection with the site, with attribution where practical. Do not submit material you do not own or have permission to share.
5. Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TheHostaFarm Editorial Team, its operators, and contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising out of your use of the site.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim or demand arising out of your use of the site or your violation of these Terms.
8. Changes
We may revise these Terms at any time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
