Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (these "Terms") set out the conditions under which Robonet Communications Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") provides the smartphone application "Garden Notebook" (畑ノート in Japanese; named 家庭菜園ノート on the App Store before 1.0.2; the "App"). By using the App, you (the "User") agree to be bound by these Terms.

Article 1 (Scope)

These Terms apply to all relationships between Users and us in connection with use of the App.

Article 2 (Account Registration)

1. Users may create an account and use the App by registering an email address and password, subject to agreeing to these Terms.
2. Users must keep their registration information accurate and up to date, and are responsible for the strict management of their password and other authentication credentials. Users are responsible for any damages arising from inadequate management of their credentials, misuse, or use by third parties, and we are not liable except where caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
3. The App is intended for users aged 13 and over. It does not ask for a date of birth or any other age information (see Privacy Policy, Section 7). If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account, we handle it as described in that same Section 7.

Article 3 (Content of the App)

1. The App is a free application for recording and managing home-garden work and cultivation. All recording and management features are available free of charge.
2. The App displays banner advertising. Users may hide ads through the paid subscription described in Article 6.
3. We may change, add to, or discontinue the content of the App without prior notice.

Article 4 (Prohibited Conduct)

Users must not engage in any of the following when using the App:

1. Acts that violate any law or public order and morals
2. Acts related to criminal activity
3. Acts that infringe the intellectual property rights, portrait rights, privacy, honor, or other rights or interests of us, other Users, or third parties
4. Acts that place an excessive load on the App's network or systems, or that access or attempt to access them without authorization
5. Acts that may interfere with our operation of the App
6. Collecting or accumulating personal information about other Users
7. Using the App for any improper purpose
8. Using the App in a manner other than as intended by us (including reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling)
9. Any other conduct we determine to be inappropriate

Article 5 (Handling of User-Registered Data)

1. Rights in the data Users register in the App — including vegetables, work logs, and garden layout information (the "Registered Data") — belong to the User.
2. We handle Registered Data only to the extent necessary to provide the App's services (storing and displaying records, calculating suggestions, etc.). For our handling of personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
3. Users may permanently delete their Registered Data by deleting their account from the App's Settings screen. Deleted data cannot be restored.

Article 6 (Paid Subscription)

1. We offer the App's ad-hiding feature as a monthly auto-renewing subscription (the "Subscription").
2. The price of the Subscription is the amount displayed on the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google) store listing (in local currency, tax-inclusive as applicable, per each store's display conventions). We do not guarantee a fixed price under these Terms.
3. Unless the User cancels, the Subscription automatically renews in accordance with the applicable store's terms. At each renewal, the price displayed by the store at the time of renewal will be charged.
4. Cancellation must be performed through the relevant store, as described below. Requesting cancellation directly from us will not cancel the Subscription.
   • iOS: Cancel via "Subscriptions" under your Apple ID in the Settings app
   • Android: Cancel via "Payments & subscriptions" in the Google Play Store app
5. Apple's or Google's terms apply to the purchase process and refunds. For refund inquiries, please contact the store from which you made the purchase directly.
6. Users who purchase the Subscription will not see ads in the App for the duration of the active subscription period. There is no other functional difference.

Article 7 (Suspension of the App)

1. We may suspend or discontinue all or part of the App without prior notice to Users in any of the following circumstances:
   • When performing maintenance, inspection, or updates to systems related to the App
   • When provision of the App becomes difficult due to force majeure such as earthquake, lightning, fire, power outage, or other natural disaster
   • When a computer or communication line is stopped due to an accident
   • When we otherwise determine that providing the App has become difficult
2. We are not liable for any disadvantage or damage suffered by Users or third parties as a result of the suspension or discontinuation of the App.

Article 8 (Disclaimer)

1. We make no express or implied warranty that the App is free of factual or legal defects (including defects, errors, or bugs relating to safety, reliability, accuracy, completeness, validity, fitness for a particular purpose, or security, or of any rights infringement).
2. The App's "today's suggestions" feature provides reference information based on past records and does not guarantee cultivation outcomes or harvest timing. Users are responsible for their own gardening decisions.
3. Except where caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, we are not liable for any damages a User incurs in connection with the App. However, where our contract with a User regarding the App constitutes a consumer contract under Japan's Consumer Contract Act, this disclaimer does not apply; in that case, we are liable only for damages caused by our ordinary negligence (excluding gross negligence), limited to the amount of damages ordinarily foreseeable, and, if the User has an active paid Subscription, capped at the amount of one month's Subscription fee.

Article 9 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
2. Any dispute arising in connection with the App shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction over the location of our head office as the court of first instance.

Article 10 (Changes to These Terms)

We may change these Terms without prior notice to Users where we determine it necessary. The revised Terms take effect once we have announced them by posting within the App or another method we consider appropriate. Where a change requires User consent under applicable law, we will obtain such consent through a separately defined method.
