Terms of Use

1. Application of These Terms

These Terms apply to all matters relating to the use of the App between the User and the Operator.

When the User uses the App Store or other services provided by Apple in connection with the App, Apple's applicable terms and conditions also apply.

If any provision of these Terms conflicts with a mandatory provision of applicable law, the applicable law will prevail to the extent of that conflict.

2. Purpose of the App

The App is a business support tool designed to assist secondhand dealers with purchase appraisals, customer management, transaction management, secondhand goods ledger management, creation of business documents, accounting data export, and synchronization of business data between multiple devices.

The App is intended to assist the User's business operations. It does not perform legal obligations on behalf of the User and does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice or determinations.

3. Conditions of Use

The User uses the App at their own responsibility.

The App is primarily intended for business use by secondhand dealers and other business operators. The User is responsible for determining whether the App is appropriate for their business activities, operating practices, licenses, permits, and other circumstances.

The User is responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at their own expense, compatible devices, an Apple Account, communications services, local network environments, and any other equipment or services necessary to use the App.

4. Free Version and Pro Plan

The App offers a Free version and a Pro plan available through an auto-renewable subscription.

The Free version provides access to the App's core functions, but certain usage restrictions apply, including limits related to the creation of new appraisals.

While the Pro plan is active, certain restrictions applicable to the Free version, including restrictions related to new appraisal creation, are removed.

However, restrictions implemented for data protection, prevention of excessive unsynchronized data accumulation, or other safety-related reasons may continue to apply even while the Pro plan is active.

Features and restrictions applicable to the Free version and Pro plan may be changed as the App is updated or improved.

5. Pro Plan Fees and Automatic Renewal

The Pro plan is purchased and billed through Apple's App Store in-app purchase system.

The applicable fee, subscription period, and other purchase conditions are those displayed in the App's purchase screen or in the App Store at the time of purchase.

The Pro plan is an auto-renewable subscription. Unless the User disables automatic renewal, the subscription will automatically renew after the current subscription period ends.

Billing timing, payment methods, renewal processing, and other payment-related matters are governed by Apple's applicable terms and systems.

6. Cancellation, Restoration, and Refunds

Cancellation

The User may disable automatic renewal of the Pro plan at any time through the subscription management settings associated with their Apple Account.

After cancellation, Pro plan features will generally remain available until the end of the current paid subscription period.

Restoring Purchases

The App provides functionality using Apple's systems to verify or restore an existing Pro plan purchase.

Refunds

Because purchases of the Pro plan are processed through Apple, refund eligibility and refund procedures are governed by Apple's applicable policies and terms.

The Operator cannot directly issue a refund to the User's payment method.

7. User Responsibilities

The User is responsible for all information entered, stored, processed, or exported through the App.

In particular, the User is responsible for the following:

• Handling customer information, identity verification information, and other personal information lawfully and appropriately
• Confirming and fulfilling obligations under the Secondhand Articles Dealer Act and other applicable laws and regulations
• Confirming that information entered into the App is accurate and up to date
• Reviewing secondhand goods ledgers, documents, CSV files, and other outputs before using them
• Appropriately managing devices, passcodes, Apple Accounts, and other authentication information
• Appropriately preserving business records through export or other means when necessary
• Monitoring synchronization status between parent and child devices and properly managing unsynchronized data

8. Data Management

Customer information, transaction information, images, signatures, and other primary business data handled by the App are generally stored and processed on devices owned or managed by the User and between the User's parent and child devices.

The Operator does not provide a cloud storage or backup service for such business data.

The User is responsible for appropriately managing necessary business records in preparation for possible data loss or corruption caused by device failure, loss, theft, deletion of the App, operating system issues, storage failures, synchronization operations, or other circumstances.

9. Legal Compliance and Generated Documents

The App is a tool intended to support the business operations of secondhand dealers. Use of the App alone does not guarantee compliance with the Secondhand Articles Dealer Act, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, tax laws, accounting standards, or any other applicable law, regulation, rule, or administrative practice.

Laws, administrative interpretations, industry practices, and other requirements may change. The User is responsible for confirming current legal requirements and procedures applicable to their own business.

Before submitting, storing, providing, or otherwise using secondhand goods ledgers, estimates, transaction statements, purchase consent and receipt documents, PDFs, CSV files, or other documents or data generated by the App, the User must verify their accuracy and suitability for the intended purpose.

Where necessary, the User should consult an attorney, administrative scrivener, tax accountant, certified public accountant, relevant government authority, or another appropriate professional.

10. Prohibited Conduct

The User must not engage in any of the following activities when using the App:

• Conduct that violates applicable laws, regulations, or public order and morals
• Criminal conduct or conduct related to criminal activity
• Conduct that infringes the rights or interests of any third party
• Handling unlawfully obtained personal information or other data through the App
• Using the App for unauthorized access, fraud, or other unlawful activity
• Attempting unauthorized access to the App or related systems
• Improperly circumventing or interfering with security features of the App
• Interfering with the normal operation of the App or use of the App by others
• Impersonating the Operator or any third party
• Any other conduct reasonably determined by the Operator to be inappropriate for provision of the App

11. Intellectual Property Rights

Copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights relating to the App, including its software, design, text, images, logos, names, and other content, belong to the Operator or to third parties that lawfully own such rights.

Except as permitted by applicable law, the User may not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, or otherwise use such materials without permission from the Operator or the applicable rights holder.

Nothing in these Terms transfers to the Operator any rights in customer information, transaction information, images, or other data owned or lawfully controlled by the User.

12. Changes, Suspension, and Discontinuation

The Operator may modify the content or specifications of the App for purposes including quality improvement, feature enhancement, security, legal compliance, or compliance with Apple's platform requirements.

The Operator may temporarily suspend or permanently discontinue all or part of the App in circumstances including the following:

• Maintenance, updates, or incident response
• Changes to Apple services, the App Store, operating systems, or other external environments that make continued provision difficult
• Discovery of a significant security issue
• Requirements arising from laws, regulations, or requests from public authorities
• Other circumstances in which the Operator reasonably determines that continued provision of the App is difficult

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Operator will make reasonable efforts to maintain the stability and quality of the App, but does not guarantee any of the following:

• That the App will be completely free of defects, errors, or interruptions
• That the App will always be available
• That data will always be stored or synchronized completely and accurately
• That the App will operate identically on all devices, operating systems, or network environments
• That output generated by the App will comply with every applicable law, administrative practice, or circumstance specific to the User
• That use of the App will achieve the User's business objectives or expected results

14. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Such damages include, without limitation, damages arising from or relating to:

• Defects, errors, interruptions, or inability to use the App
• Loss, corruption, omission, or unintended modification of data
• Failed synchronization, delayed synchronization, or inconsistencies between parent and child devices
• Device failure, loss, theft, reset, or operating system malfunction
• Failures of communications, local networks, or services provided by Apple
• User input errors, operational mistakes, incorrect settings, or failure to verify information
• Errors or omissions in secondhand goods ledgers, documents, PDFs, CSV files, or other output generated by the App
• Differences between the App's operation or output and applicable legal, administrative, tax, or accounting requirements
• Business interruption or delay resulting from use of or inability to use the App
• Loss of sales, profits, business opportunities, goodwill, or other economic benefits
• Disputes or claims between the User and customers, business partners, or other third parties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator will not be liable for lost profits, indirect damages, special damages, consequential damages, business interruption losses, losses arising from data loss, or damages based on claims by third parties, even if the Operator has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

However, where damages are caused by the Operator's intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or where applicable law does not permit the Operator to exclude or limit liability, the exclusions and limitations in this section will not apply to the extent prohibited by such law.

Where the Operator is legally liable for damages and applicable law permits limitation of that liability, the Operator's liability will be limited to actual, ordinary, and direct damages suffered by the User.

In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator's total aggregate liability will not exceed the total amount actually paid by the User for the App during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

The liability cap described above will not apply to the extent it is prohibited by law, including where liability arises from the Operator's intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

15. Privacy

The handling of personal information and other information in connection with the App is governed by the separately published Privacy Policy.

The User should also review the Privacy Policy before using the App.

16. Changes to These Terms

The Operator may revise these Terms when necessary due to changes to the App's features, changes in applicable law, changes to Apple's platform requirements, or other circumstances.

Material changes will be announced through the App's distribution page, Koyomi App Lab, or another appropriate method.

Revised Terms will take effect when published or on another effective date separately specified by the Operator.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.

If a dispute arises between the User and the Operator in connection with the App or these Terms, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through consultation.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through consultation, the court in Japan having jurisdiction over the location of the Operator will have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
