Hinagare Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

The App is intended for persons who are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. You are responsible, at your own expense, for the device, network connection, marketplace account, and other environment necessary to use the App.

2. Nature and Limitations of the App

The App provides reflection prompts and daily guidance based on a defined interpretation of BaZi / Four Pillars and related calendar calculations. The App is provided for personal reflection and entertainment. It does not predict or guarantee future events, outcomes, compatibility, fortune, health, safety, income, or success.

Outputs may differ from those of another school, practitioner, publication, or service because calculation boundaries, time handling, interpretive conventions, available birth information, and user input may differ. The Operator does not guarantee agreement with any other method.

The App does not provide medical, mental-health, legal, financial, investment, employment, relationship, emergency, or other professional advice. Do not use an output as the sole basis for a material decision. You remain solely responsible for verifying relevant facts and making your own decisions.

3. License and Intellectual Property

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Operator grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the App solely for your personal and non-commercial purposes.

All rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved by the Operator or the applicable rightsholder. All copyrights, trademarks, database rights, and other intellectual property rights in the App and its content belong to the Operator or the applicable rightsholder, and no such rights are transferred to you.

4. User Input and Device Data

You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of information you enter, including information about another person. You must have an appropriate basis or permission before entering another person’s information.

Profile information and reading data are generally stored on your device. You are responsible for device security and for any backup, transfer, retention, or deletion available through your device or operating system. Data may be lost through uninstallation, device loss or failure, operating-system behavior, storage deletion, reset, or incompatibility. The Operator does not operate an account or recovery service for locally stored data and cannot restore it.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

• violate any applicable law, public order, or these Terms;
• infringe the rights, privacy, reputation, or interests of the Operator or any third party;
• enter or use another person’s information unlawfully or without an appropriate basis;
• copy, modify, adapt, distribute, sell, lease, reproduce, or publicly transmit the App without authorization;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
• bypass, disable, interfere with, or misuse advertising, consent, licensing, access-control, or security functions;
• gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access, impose an excessive load, introduce malicious code, or otherwise interfere with the App or related services;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
• resell the App or provide a commercial service using the App without the Operator’s prior written permission; or
• engage in any other conduct reasonably determined by the Operator to harm the App, the Operator, users, or third parties.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The Operator may display third-party advertisements in locations, forms, methods, and frequencies determined by the Operator. Advertising may require network communication even though fortune calculations and profile storage are performed on the device.

The display of an advertisement does not constitute the Operator’s endorsement, control, or guarantee of the advertiser, the advertised product or service, or any linked third-party service. Apple, Google, advertising providers, operating systems, networks, and other third parties operate under their own terms and policies. Except to the extent required by applicable law, the Operator is not responsible for their availability, content, acts, omissions, or data handling.

7. Privacy

The handling of information in connection with the App is governed by the Hinomaru Labs Privacy Policy.

8. Changes, Suspension, and Termination of the App

The Operator may add, change, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any feature, content, calculation convention, design, advertisement, supported environment, availability, delivery method, or support relating to the App when reasonably necessary.

The Operator may suspend or terminate all or part of the App without prior notice due to maintenance, incidents, security concerns, third-party service issues, legal or regulatory requirements, marketplace requirements, or another reasonable operational reason. The Operator does not guarantee continued availability, updating, or support of the App.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. The Operator makes no express or implied warranty regarding the App, including its accuracy, completeness, usefulness, safety, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, freedom from errors, non-infringement, compatibility, or continued provision. The Operator does not warrant that any reading or suggestion will produce a particular result.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Operator is not liable for damage not attributable to the Operator, including damage arising from incorrect or incomplete input, reliance on an App output, a user decision, loss of locally stored data, misuse, a device or operating system, a network, a marketplace, an advertisement, or a third-party service.

The Operator is not liable for damage caused by force majeure, natural disaster, power or network failure, cyberattack, third-party conduct, changes in law, governmental action, or another circumstance beyond the Operator’s reasonable control.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damage, loss of profits, loss of opportunity, loss of data, or comparable loss.

If the Operator is liable to you due to the Operator’s ordinary negligence, the Operator’s liability is limited to actual, direct, and ordinary damage and, in the aggregate, to JPY 1,000. This limitation does not apply to the Operator’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Indemnification

If your intentional or negligent violation of these Terms, unlawful conduct, or infringement of a third party’s rights causes damage to the Operator, you must compensate the Operator for that damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Changes to These Terms

The Operator may amend these Terms when reasonably necessary due to changes in the App, third-party services, marketplace rules, or applicable law. Amended Terms apply when posted on the Operator’s website or on a later effective date specified by the Operator. If required by applicable law, the Operator will provide additional notice or obtain consent.

13. Transfer of Rights and Obligations

You may not assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the Operator’s prior written consent. The Operator may transfer all or part of the business relating to the App, together with associated rights and obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or adjusted to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in effect. The Operator’s failure or delay in exercising any right does not constitute a waiver of that right.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rule that applies to you, any dispute arising from or relating to the App or these Terms is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction, as the court of first instance, of the district court or summary court having jurisdiction over the Operator’s address at the time the action is filed.
