Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the conditions for using the App. By using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.

01Application

These Terms apply to all relationships between the provider and you (the user) concerning use of the App. When distributed through the App Store, the conditions set by Apple (such as the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions) also apply.

02Definitions

• Provider: Takeru Sakuma, who provides the App
• App: the application named Kukuri and its related services
• Content: person information, fact cards, events, and other data you enter or import into the App
• On-device AI: AI processing that runs within the device. External models: AI processing that runs outside the device (Private Cloud Compute, third-party LLMs, etc.)

03Account and operating environment

The App does not maintain its own account registration, and syncing relies on your Apple ID (iCloud). Because the App depends on on-device AI and iCloud (CloudKit), it requires supported Apple devices and OS versions. If the operating environment is not met, some or all features may be unavailable.

04Data storage and responsibility

• Content is stored on your device and in your iCloud (CloudKit). The provider does not retain or manage Content.
• Backup, restoration, and preservation of data depend on your iCloud settings and the management of your device. The provider bears no responsibility for loss, corruption, or sync failures of data.
• You can export and delete Content at any time using the App's features.

05Your responsible use

You shall comply with applicable laws and use the App at your own responsibility. The accuracy and legality of the information you record are managed by you.

06Handling of others' information

The App includes uses that record information about people other than you (at times including sensitive information such as health and allergies). In recording and using such information, you bear responsibility for showing consideration for the privacy of the people involved and for complying with applicable personal information protection laws and other laws. Because the provider does not retain Content, it is not involved in or in control of its contents.

07Handling of AI and external integration

• Extraction, suggestion, and automatic assignment by AI are candidates, and are reflected only after your confirmation. The accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of AI output are not guaranteed.
• Transmission to external models or external map/place-search APIs is based on your settings and operations. Use of a third-party LLM is optional, and enabling it and transmitting sensitive information presuppose your consent.
• The availability, content, and terms of external services follow those services, and the provider does not guarantee them.

08Prohibited conduct

In using the App, you must not engage in the following.

• Conduct that violates laws or public order and morals
• Conduct that infringes the rights of third parties (privacy rights, portrait rights, intellectual property rights, etc.)
• Conduct that uses or discloses obtained information about others contrary to the reasonable expectations of the person or to law
• Reverse engineering, unauthorized modification of the App, or interference with its operation

09Intellectual property

Intellectual property rights related to the App and its design, logo, and software belong to the provider or the rightful right holders. The rights to Content you enter belong to you, and the provider does not acquire them.

10Charges and external API costs

If the App involves paid features, in-app purchases, or costs associated with external API use, those conditions are clearly stated in the App. If affiliate arrangements are introduced in the future for product or gift suggestions, this will be clearly indicated, and the neutrality of suggestions (not distorting preferences or fit) will be maintained.

11Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided “as is.” The provider does not warrant the accuracy of the App, its fitness for a particular purpose, that it is error-free, or that it can be used without interruption. The provider makes no warranty regarding AI output or the results of external services.

12Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the provider is not liable for indirect damages, special damages, loss of data, and the like arising from use or inability to use the App. Even where the provider's liability is recognized, its scope follows the limits prescribed by applicable law.

13Changes and discontinuation of service

The provider may add, change, or discontinue features, or discontinue provision of the App. The provider is not liable, to the extent of applicable law, for disadvantages arising to you as a result. Because your Content remains on your device and iCloud, you can export it under your own management even after provision ends.

14Changes to these terms

The provider may change these Terms as necessary. Significant changes will be announced in the App or on the web. If you use the App after a change, you are deemed to have agreed to the changed Terms.

15Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. In the event of a dispute between the provider and you concerning the App, the Nagoya District Court shall be the court of exclusive agreed jurisdiction for the first instance.
