Terms of Use
Version 1.0 — 13 July 2026
These terms cover the use of the Tane application, published by Asociación Comunes (Spain) — https://comunes.org, contact [email protected]. By using Tane’s sharing features (the market and messaging) you accept these terms and the Community rules.
1. What Tane is — and what it is not
Tane is a personal tool: a seed inventory that lives on your device, plus a way to discover people near you who share seeds and seedlings. Tane is not a marketplace operator, not a shop, and not a party to any exchange:
- We host no listings — offers are published by you, under your own key, to community-run relays.
- We take no commission and process no payments. Any exchange, gift, or sale is agreed and carried out directly between the people involved.
- We do not verify seeds, users, or offers, and we cannot remove content from servers we do not operate.
2. Your responsibilities
You are solely responsible for:
- What you offer and exchange. Make sure you are allowed to share or sell the seeds you list. Rules differ by country — see the Seed legality notice. In particular, selling seed of varieties that are not registered may be restricted where you live, and propagating commercially protected varieties without authorization is illegal in most countries.
- Shipping. Sending seeds across borders is often restricted (phytosanitary rules). Check before you mail anything abroad.
- What you publish. Offers, your profile, vouches, and ratings are public and signed by you. Follow the Community rules.
- Your keys and backups. There is no account recovery: if you lose your device and your recovery code, we cannot restore anything.
3. No warranties
Tane is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, as free software under the AGPL-3.0 license. In particular, nobody — not Comunes, not the people you exchange with through the app — guarantees the identity, purity, germination, health, or legality of any seed or plant exchanged. Growing information shown in the app (calendars, seed-saving tips, viability estimates) is general guidance, not professional advice.
4. Disputes between users
Exchanges are private dealings between the people involved. Comunes is not a mediator and accepts no liability for failed exchanges, quality disputes, or losses arising from them. The vouching and rating features exist so communities can build their own trust.
5. Moderation
There is no central moderation: your app filters what you see through the people you
trust, and you can block anyone and report offers or people from within the
app. Reports are shared with the servers involved; on the relay we operate
(relay.comunes.org), content that breaks the community rules is removed. Relays run
by others apply their own policies.
6. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Asociación Comunes’ total liability arising from the app is limited to the amount you paid for it (Tane is gratis: zero). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
7. General
If a part of these terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force. These terms are governed by Spanish and EU law, without depriving you of protections of the law of your country of residence. We may update these terms; material changes will be noted in the app’s release notes, and the current version always lives at https://tane.comunes.org/legal/terms.
