01Application
Note: Nekotimer is currently distributed only on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (Japan region). This English version is provided for reference; the Japanese version is the legally binding original. In case of any discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails.
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern the use of the routine timer app "Nekotimer" (the "App") between Latty Cat (a sole-proprietor trade name operated by Atsushi Tashiro; the "Provider") and you (the "User").
By downloading, installing, or using the App, the User agrees to be bound by these Terms.
The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (Japan region). Where these Terms conflict with the terms of either store, the store's terms take precedence.
For the sales conditions of the Premium plan, please also see the Commercial Disclosures page.
02Conditions of Use
- The App is provided for personal, non-commercial use.
- The User is responsible for providing the device and network connection required to use the App, at the User's own cost.
- The Premium plan is offered as an auto-renewing subscription through Apple StoreKit / Google Play Billing. Pricing, renewal cycle, and cancellation methods follow each store's published policies.
- Premium trial periods follow the rules of the respective store. Trials may be cancelled at any time from the store's subscription settings.
- Minors must use the App with the consent of their legal representative, and any subscription to the Premium plan is conditioned on such consent.
03Prohibited Acts
The User must not engage in any of the following while using the App:
- Acts that violate laws or public order and morals
- Decompiling, reverse engineering, or otherwise analyzing the App's source code (except to the extent permitted by applicable law)
- Reproducing, modifying, or redistributing the App's copyrighted material or trademarks without permission
- Acts that infringe on the rights of the Provider or any third party
- Accessing Premium or paid features through unauthorized means (cheats, tampered builds, etc.)
- Placing excessive load on the App's servers or networks (including integrated third-party services)
- Any other act that the Provider, acting reasonably, determines to be seriously inappropriate in light of the App's purpose
04Intellectual Property
All copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights to the programs, designs, images, text, and the "Nekota" mascot character contained in the App belong to the Provider or to the rightful holders.
The User obtains only a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the App in the ordinary manner, in accordance with these Terms and the applicable store terms.
05Disclaimer
- The App is provided "as is", with no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or freedom from errors and defects.
- Routines and run history entered by the User are stored on the User's device. The Provider is not responsible for data loss caused by device failure, loss, OS updates, uninstalling the App, or similar events.
- Where the Provider bears liability for breach of contract or tort due to ordinary (non-gross) negligence in connection with the App, such liability is limited to direct and ordinary damages actually incurred by the User, capped at the total Premium fees paid by the User to the Provider in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability.
- The cap above does not apply to liability arising from the Provider's willful misconduct or gross negligence. Where mandatory consumer protection law (including Japan's Consumer Contract Act) does not permit such limitation, the mandatory provisions prevail.
06Service Changes and Termination
The Provider may change, add, remove, or terminate the App upon reasonable prior notice to the User (in principle, at least 30 days in advance for significant changes or service termination), except where urgent security responses, legal requirements, or other unavoidable circumstances make prior notice impracticable.
Where unused Premium subscription periods remain at the time of service termination, the Provider will, to a reasonable extent, refund the pro-rated amount or cooperate with the refund process through the respective store (Apple App Store / Google Play).
07Changes to These Terms
Pursuant to Article 548-4 of the Japanese Civil Code on standard conditions, the Provider may change these Terms. For significant changes, the Provider will announce the content and effective date at least 30 days before such effective date, both within the App and on this page. Minor changes (typo fixes, formatting, and the like) take effect upon posting on this page.
08Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.
Any dispute between the Provider and the User in connection with the App shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance.
