Kichimichi Terms of Use

Established and effective: August 9, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of Kichimichi (the “App”), a mobile application provided by Hinomaru Labs (the “Operator”). By using the App after these Terms have been made available, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Acquisition and use of the App, including in-app purchases, may also be subject to the terms and policies of Apple, Google, or another applicable marketplace.


1. App Content and Purpose

The App helps you choose a walk from routes you save on your device, using a reference direction based on a simplified Nine Star Ki calculation. It may open Google Maps or a browser to provide walking directions.

Lucky-direction information, walking suggestions, directional guidance, and related information are provided solely as reference information. The App does not include all Nine Star Ki methods, schools, conditions, precise seasonal-entry times, monthly stars, or time plates. The App does not guarantee luck, health, safety, a result, or arrival at a destination. You are responsible for your own judgment when using the App.

2. Your Responsibility and Safety

You are responsible for confirming your route, surroundings, traffic conditions, weather, opening hours, access restrictions, and safety before and during a walk. You must comply with applicable law, traffic rules, posted notices, and instructions. Do not use the App in a way that distracts you from safe walking or your surroundings.

The Operator is independent from map providers, road administrators, facility operators, advertisers, and other third parties mentioned or linked in the App. The Operator is not responsible for a route, visit, travel arrangement, injury, loss, delay, closure, or other consequence arising from your use of the App or a third-party service, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded by applicable law.

3. Eligibility and Environment

You are responsible, at your own expense, for obtaining and maintaining the device, network connection, marketplace account, and other environment necessary to use the App. If you are a minor, you must obtain the consent of a parent, guardian, or other person with the required authority before making an in-app purchase. The App is licensed only for personal, non-commercial use.

4. 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 personal and non-commercial purposes. All copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights in the App and its content belong to the Operator or the applicable rightsholder. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

  • violate applicable law, public order, traffic rules, or these Terms;
  • infringe the rights, interests, reputation, or property of the Operator or a third party;
  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reproduce, or publicly transmit the App or its content without authorization;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by law;
  • bypass, disable, interfere with, or misuse advertising, purchase verification, ad-removal, licensing, or security functions;
  • gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, or otherwise interfere with the App or related systems; or
  • engage in any other conduct that the Operator reasonably determines to be inappropriate.

6. Third-Party Maps, Advertising, and Purchases

The App may open Google Maps, a browser, advertisers, or other third-party services. The Operator does not control or guarantee their content, availability, safety, legality, route accuracy, or results. Your use of a third-party service is subject to that third party’s terms and privacy policy.

The Operator may display third-party advertisements in locations, forms, methods, and frequencies determined by the Operator. An advertisement does not constitute the Operator’s endorsement, control, or guarantee of the advertiser or its products or services.

The App may offer a one-time, non-consumable product that removes eligible advertisements. Purchases are processed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or another applicable marketplace. Pricing, payment, refunds, purchase history, availability, and restoration are governed by the applicable marketplace’s systems and policies.

7. Privacy

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

8. Changes, Suspension, and Discontinuation

The Operator may add, change, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any feature, content, specification, design, supported device or operating system, advertisement, paid feature, delivery method, or support relating to the App. The Operator may suspend or discontinue all or part of the App without prior notice due to maintenance, incidents, security concerns, legal or marketplace requirements, third-party service changes, or other circumstances the Operator considers necessary.

The Operator does not guarantee continued availability, future updates, support, or operation on any particular device or operating system.

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 accuracy, completeness, timeliness, usefulness, safety, fitness for a particular purpose, continuity, uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility, non-infringement, or correction of defects.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Operator is not liable for damage not attributable to the Operator. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not liable for lost profits, lost opportunities, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or similar damage, data loss, or emotional distress.

If the Operator is liable to you, except in the case of the Operator’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Operator’s liability is limited to direct and ordinary damage. For liability relating to a paid feature, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator’s aggregate liability is limited to the amount you actually paid for the relevant paid feature. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Changes to These Terms

The Operator may amend these Terms in accordance with applicable law where a change is reasonably necessary due to changes in law, App functionality or conditions, safety or security needs, business operations, or other reasonable grounds. When the Operator changes these Terms, the Operator will provide notice of the change and its effective date through the App, this website, or another reasonable method. Where consent is required by law, the Operator will obtain it through an appropriate method.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. 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, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
