These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern the iOS app “Koedori” and related services provided by 256 GIKEN Co., Ltd. (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

Effective: August 16, 2026 / Last updated: August 18, 2026

Japanese / Service information / Disclosure under Japan's Specified Commercial Transactions Act

1. Definitions

In these Terms:

1. App means the Koedori iOS application.
2. Service means the App and the server-side features we provide through it.
3. Core Features means the free features that operate primarily on your device, including recording, transcription, titles, summaries and minutes, search, playback, and export.
4. Plus means the auto-renewable paid subscription that provides cloud processing, the encrypted audio vault, and related features.
5. Cloud Processing means server-side retranscription, summaries, minutes, speaker organization, or other processing that runs only after you select a record and an action and proceed from the confirmation screen, or, for a feature you enable through its confirmation screen, within the scope described for that feature.
6. Vault means the Plus feature that, once enabled in Settings, automatically stores recordings and related data after encrypting them on your device.
7. Your Content means audio, transcripts, titles, summaries, minutes, speaker names, calendar-event titles, and other content that you record, enter, generate, or submit through the App.

2. Application and acceptance

1. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are available for you to review before you begin, on the App Store product page and on this page. By starting to use the Service, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms. For Cloud Processing and certain other features, the App may ask for separate confirmation.
2. If you purchase Plus, you also agree at purchase to these Terms and the price, period, auto-renewal, and other conditions displayed on the purchase screen.
3. Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple Standard EULA”) also applies to the App license. The Apple Standard EULA governs the license to the App, while these Terms govern Service-specific features and Plus. If they conflict, the term that more specifically governs the subject applies to the extent permitted by law.
4. Our Koedori Privacy Policy applies to how we handle Your Content and information relating to you.
5. A minor or anyone who cannot independently give valid consent must obtain consent from their parent or legal representative before using the Service.

3. License

1. Subject to these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA, we grant you a non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive right to use the App for your personal purposes or your own internal business purposes.
2. This license does not permit you to resell the App or Service, provide it as a service to third parties, or allow third parties to use it on their behalf.

4. Core Features and Plus

1. Core Features operate primarily on your device using the capabilities of a supported device and operating system. Availability and processing quality may vary with device model, operating system, language, downloaded models, available storage, and other device conditions.
2. Plus provides Cloud Processing, the Vault, and other features described on the purchase screen and in the App. Features that run entirely on your device are available free of charge as Core Features.
3. Cloud Processing is subject to limits such as the number of jobs, audio duration, or maximum length per record. The limits that apply are shown in the App. A feature cannot be used after its limit is reached until it becomes available again.
4. Unless the App expressly says otherwise, unused allowances do not roll over, have cash value, or entitle you to a refund.

5. Plus purchases, renewal, cancellation, and refunds

1. Plus is an auto-renewable subscription purchased through Apple’s App Store payment system. The price, currency, subscription period, taxes, and any offer that apply are those displayed by the App Store immediately before purchase.
2. Unless you turn off auto-renewal in your App Store subscription settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period, Plus renews automatically for the same period and Apple charges your selected payment method.
3. Apple processes purchases, charges, renewals, cancellations, and refunds. Refunds are governed by Apple’s process and applicable law. We do not receive your card number or other payment-method details.
4. Unless Apple states otherwise, you may use Plus through the end of a paid subscription period after turning off auto-renewal.
5. Deleting the App, deleting on-device data, or deleting your data in the cloud does not cancel your Apple subscription.
6. If the App does not reflect your subscription, you may use its restore function. Restoration may require the Apple Account used for the purchase or other conditions required by Apple.
7. Plus does not support Family Sharing.

6. Your Content

1. You or the rightful owner retain all rights in Your Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership to us.
2. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right, limited to the scope and time required to provide the feature you select, to receive, reproduce, transmit, process, temporarily store, or store Your Content as ciphertext. We may have our processors and subprocessors perform that processing only as necessary to provide the Service. We and our processors use this right only to provide the Service, operate it safely, investigate faults, and comply with law.
3. You represent that you have the rights and consents required to record and submit Your Content and to grant the permission above. When recording conversations, you must obtain any consent required by applicable law and the circumstances.

7. Cloud Processing

1. Cloud Processing runs only when you select a record and an action and instruct us to run it, or, for a feature you have enabled through its confirmation screen, within the scope described for that feature. Storage in the Vault occurs automatically once you enable it in Settings (Section 8). We do not send location information for Cloud Processing. If you enable calendar context, we may send the title of a relevant calendar event.
2. Cloud Processing uses the speech-recognition, language-processing, cloud-infrastructure, and other providers that we engage. Our Privacy Policy describes the handling in more detail.
3. Our processing server deletes submitted audio or text and returned results without undue delay after processing completes. Results awaiting retrieval by you, and data whose processing could not be completed, are likewise deleted without undue delay once they are no longer needed.
4. We retain records such as usage totals, job identifiers, states, timestamps, and fault categories to enforce allowances, make retries safe, prevent double counting, investigate faults, and operate the Service securely.

8. Encrypted audio Vault

1. The Vault is off by default. Once you enable it in Settings, the App automatically uploads eligible recordings after encrypting them on your device.
2. The decryption key is stored on your device and in iCloud Keychain. We do not keep it. We and our storage provider receive ciphertext, and we cannot decrypt it on our own. Only where you request Cloud Processing for a recording you have stored in the Vault is the key for decrypting that recording sent together with the processing request. We do not store that key and use it solely for the processing you requested.
3. When Plus lapses, new uploads stop and bulk retrieval remains available for 30 days. The Vault then freezes, but individual ciphertext remains retrievable until deletion. Ciphertext is deleted six months (180 days) after lapse.
4. If you delete your data in the cloud in the App, ciphertext associated with that account is deleted without waiting for the period above.
5. If you lose access to the decryption key, we cannot decrypt or recover the ciphertext. Keep any necessary data on your device or in another location that you control.

9. Anonymous account and deletion

1. Plus uses an anonymous server account and does not require registration of your name or email address. We verify Apple-signed transactions and notifications and reflect subscription status on that anonymous account.
2. From the App’s settings, you can separately delete the data on your device and your data in the cloud. The latter covers the anonymous account, sessions, purchase linkage, usage records, processing results, and Vault data, and we delete them without undue delay after receiving the deletion request. Neither deletion cancels your Apple subscription.
3. To prevent silent recreation after deletion, we may retain, for as long as needed for that purpose, a deletion marker that is not linked to the former account or records. Reconnecting an active subscription requires ownership proof in the form of an Apple-signed transaction.

10. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

1. record, submit, or use content in violation of law, public order, or third-party rights;
2. eavesdrop or record without consent where consent is required by applicable law;
3. submit audio, personal information, confidential information, or other content that you do not have the right to submit;
4. redistribute, resell, unlawfully copy, or provide the App or Service as a service to third parties;
5. reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise analyze the App except as permitted by law;
6. circumvent authentication, subscription verification, usage limits, or security controls;
7. overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, or transmit malware; or
8. engage in other conduct that we reasonably determine to be inconsistent with the purpose of these Terms.

11. External services

1. The Service relies on Apple’s platform and other external services. Their respective service and data-protection terms may apply.
2. The Service may be unavailable in whole or in part due to an external service, network conditions, device capabilities, or regional restrictions.

12. Changes to the Service and allowances

1. We may change Service features, supported environments, or usage limits when reasonably necessary for quality improvements, new features, security, legal compliance, changes to external services, or similar reasons.
2. We will not materially reduce key Plus features or allowances to your detriment during a paid subscription period. Any such reduction will apply from a later renewal unless it is required by law, a security emergency, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
3. We will give advance notice on this page or in the App of changes that materially affect you.

13. Suspension

We may suspend all or part of the Service to the extent reasonably necessary if you materially breach these Terms, if we detect abuse or a security risk, if Apple revokes or cancels the subscription, or if urgent action is needed to protect the Service. Where possible, we will tell you why the Service was suspended and how the issue may be resolved.

14. Changes to or discontinuation of the Service

1. We may discontinue all or part of the Service for a reasonable cause. Except in an emergency, we will provide reasonable advance notice on this page or in the App of the timing and handling of your data.
2. If we discontinue Plus, we will stop future renewals and, where reasonably possible, provide the Service through the end of paid periods. If that is not possible, refunds or other remedies are governed by Apple’s process and applicable law.
3. If we discontinue the Vault, we will notify you of the retrieval period and deletion date, unless prevented by a security emergency, legal requirement, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
4. We do not guarantee that an installed copy of the App will continue to operate after discontinuation or remain compatible with future operating systems or devices.

15. Intellectual property

Copyright and other intellectual-property rights in the App, Service, screens, text, images, software, and other materials we provide belong to us or their rightful owners. This does not affect the rights in Your Content described in Section 6.

16. Accuracy and limited warranties

1. Except where applicable law requires otherwise, the App and Service are provided “as is” and “as available.”
2. Recordings, transcripts, speaker organization, search, titles, summaries, minutes, and other AI-assisted outputs may contain errors, omissions, or inappropriate content. Check important outputs against the original audio or other source material before relying on them.
3. The Service is not professional medical, legal, financial, safety, or records-management advice. We do not warrant fitness for a particular purpose, completeness, continuous availability, or that data will never be lost.

17. Limitation of liability

1. If you suffer loss in connection with our provision of the Service due to a cause attributable to us, we are liable for damages in accordance with this Section.
2. Except where we acted with intent or gross negligence, our total liability to you in connection with the Service is limited to direct and ordinary damages actually incurred by you, capped at the greater of JPY 10,000 or the total amount you paid as fees for the Service during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the loss.
3. The preceding paragraph does not apply where we acted with intent or gross negligence, or to loss arising from injury to life or body.

18. Changes to these Terms

1. We may change these Terms if the change benefits customers generally or is reasonable in light of the need for the change, the appropriateness of the revised terms, the purpose of these Terms, and other relevant circumstances.
2. Before a change takes effect, we will provide the revised terms and effective date on this page or in the App. We will provide a reasonable advance-notice period for a change that materially affects your rights.
3. If applicable law requires your individual consent to a change, we will obtain that consent.

19. Governing law, venue, and language

1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
2. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Tokyo District Court or Tokyo Summary Court has exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance over disputes relating to the Service.
3. If the Japanese version and a translation conflict, the Japanese version controls. This does not limit any protection granted by mandatory law in your place of residence.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms, or any part of a provision, is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions and the remainder of that provision continue in full force and effect.
