Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) set out the conditions for using the iOS application “HITUKI Planner” (the “App”) provided by Daisuke Tamura (the “Operator”).

By downloading or using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

The App is a planner and journal that organizes plans, records, things to keep in mind, notes, themes, photos, and notifications on your device. Optional features include weather, speech recognition with AI-assisted text organization, and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

The App does not provide medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Do not rely on weather forecasts, notifications, or AI output as the sole basis for important or safety-related decisions.

Your main content, such as plans and records, is stored on your device. You are responsible for managing your device, OS and device backup settings, and reviewing what you enter.

Data may be lost because of device failure or loss, app deletion, or failures in the OS or third-party services. The Operator uses reasonable safeguards and migrations but does not guarantee that all data can always be preserved or recovered.

Voice input is available only after you accept the on-screen explanation and grant the required OS permissions. Apple’s speech recognition converts your speech to text; the App does not persistently store the audio file itself.

The recognized text is sent through HITUKI Planner’s relay server to generative AI on Google Cloud to organize one plan or record. AI output may contain errors, omissions, or unintended wording. Review the content before or after saving and correct it as needed.

Some features are offered as the paid “HITUKI Plus”. Monthly and annual auto-renewing subscriptions and a one-time purchase may be offered. The actual price, currency, trial period, and regional availability shown by the App Store at the time of purchase prevail.

• The annual plan may include a 7-day free trial when Apple determines that you are eligible.
• Unless you cancel before the end of the free trial or the billing period, the subscription renews automatically under the App Store’s terms.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The Operator does not receive payment details such as your credit card number.
• You can review or cancel a subscription in iOS Settings or through Apple’s subscription management.
• Refunds follow Apple’s rules and procedures.
• You can check purchased entitlements with “Restore Purchases” in the App.

When Plus expires, the Operator does not delete the plans, records, photos, or other data stored on your device. However, new use of Plus-only features and the display of content in widgets may be restricted.

You must not do any of the following:

• Violate laws, public order and morals, or the rights of third parties.
• Improperly bypass, analyze, or disrupt the App, its servers, purchase verification, or usage limits.
• Send malware or excessive automated requests, or otherwise place a burden on or damage the operation of the service.
• Resell, rent, or offer the App as a commercial service without the Operator’s permission.

Rights in the App, its design, text, program, and other materials provided by the Operator belong to the Operator or their rightful owners. You retain the rights in the content and photos you enter into the App.

The Operator may change the App, suspend it temporarily, or discontinue it for reasons such as improvements, maintenance, security, legal requirements, or changes to third-party services. Where users would be materially affected, the Operator will make reasonable efforts to give advance notice.

The App is provided “as is”. The Operator does not warrant that the App will always operate without interruption, that it can be used on every device, or that AI, weather, notifications, or similar content is complete or accurate.

Except in cases of the Operator’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, or where applicable law does not permit such a limitation, the Operator is not liable for indirect or special damages, lost profits, or data loss arising from use of the App. This section does not limit your rights under the Consumer Contract Act of Japan or other mandatory law.

The Operator may change these Terms when necessary. Material changes will be announced on this page or in the App. If you continue to use the App after a change, you are deemed to have agreed to the changed Terms, except that changes requiring separate consent under applicable law will follow that law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the Tokyo District Court has exclusive agreed jurisdiction as the court of first instance for disputes concerning the App or these Terms.
