KoeFarm Terms of Service

1. Service description

The App provides voice-based recording of farm work and sales/expenses, weather-based advice, management of fields/crops/yields/accounting, and the AI agent "Koemaru," which supports record creation and summarization via chat. For details of Koemaru's message limits (including the free vs. Premium tiers), see the in-app display and our Privacy Policy.

2. Fees and subscription

1. Core features are available free of charge.
2. Some advanced features (AI high-accuracy analysis, expanded Koemaru message limits, etc.) are provided through the paid "Premium" subscription (¥680/month or ¥6,800/year; prices are subject to change).
3. Subscriptions are purchased via in-app purchase (Apple ID) and automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel from your App Store account settings.
4. A 7-day free trial is available once per user. If you cancel during the trial period, you will not be charged.
5. Payments and refunds follow Apple's terms. We do not handle individual refund requests (these are made through Apple).

3. The nature of advice and AI output (important)

1. The cultivation advice, disease-risk estimates, yield forecasts, optimal spray timing, planting plans, and Koemaru's chat responses provided by the App are reference information based on weather data, publicly known agronomic models, and inference by generative AI; we do not guarantee their accuracy, results, or profitability. Due to the nature of generative AI, responses may contain content that is factually incorrect.
2. Any pesticide-related information displayed by the App is a cross-check against publicly available registration data, not a recommendation to use the product. Actual use must always follow the pesticide label, your prefecture's pest-control guidance, and applicable law, which take precedence.
3. The App's AI features, including Koemaru, do not provide individualized tax advice (e.g., whether a filing is required, or whether a specific deduction applies to your situation). For final decisions on blue-form tax filing and other tax matters, please consult a licensed tax accountant or the tax office.
4. We are liable for damages arising from your use of this advice or AI output only as set out in §6. Final agricultural and tax decisions are your own responsibility.

4. Handling of data

Data handling is governed separately by our Privacy Policy. Your records are stored on your device by default, and you control them. If you turn on iCloud sync, they are also stored in your own iCloud. The scope of information sent externally when using AI analysis or Koemaru is also set out in the Privacy Policy.

5. Prohibited conduct

You must not: violate any law; infringe our rights or those of third parties; reverse-engineer the App (except to the extent permitted by law); or interfere with the operation of the App.

6. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

1. We do not warrant the completeness, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose of the App.
2. We are not liable, except where we act with intent or gross negligence, for disadvantages arising from the suspension, specification changes, or accuracy of external APIs/services (weather, satellite, mapping, AI, etc.).
3. In case of device failure or data loss, please export (back up) your data as appropriate.
4. Except where we act with intent or gross negligence, our liability for damages to you in connection with the App is capped, to the extent permitted by law, at the total subscription fees you paid to us (or through Apple) for the App during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the damages. This cap does not apply where we act with intent or gross negligence, or where such limitation of liability is not permitted by law.
5. This section applies, where you qualify as a "consumer" under Japan's Consumer Contract Act, only to the extent consistent with that Act and other mandatory law.

7. Minors

If a minor uses the App, they must first obtain the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If a minor uses the App without such consent and this causes damage to us, we may seek appropriate remedies from the minor or their legal guardian.

8. Changes to or discontinuation of the Service

1. We may change the content of the App or discontinue providing it.
2. If we discontinue the App, we will give advance notice, at least 30 days before the planned end date, in the App or on our announcement page, except where doing so is impracticable due to a natural disaster, change in law, or circumstances that make continuing our business difficult.
3. When discontinuing the Service, we will make available, as of the time of that notice, a means of exporting your data (CSV / JSON / standard format) so that you can retain your records.

9. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms. We will announce significant changes in the App or on our announcement page.

10. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. If a dispute arises between you and us regarding the App, the parties will first attempt to resolve it through good-faith discussion. If the dispute cannot be resolved through discussion, you agree that the court having jurisdiction over our location will be the court of first instance; however, this does not preclude you from bringing an action in the court having jurisdiction over your place of residence where permitted under the Consumer Contract Act or other mandatory law.
