Terms of Service

1. Application

These Terms apply to all relationships between us and the user regarding the use of the App. The App is distributed through Apple's App Store, and the user shall also comply with the App Store's terms of use (including Apple's prescribed End User License Agreement). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those terms, these Terms shall prevail with respect to the use of the App.

2. Definitions

• "App" means the iOS app "Pocke" provided by us, together with its associated features and web pages.
• "User" means any person who downloads or uses the App.
• "Recorded Data" means the data that the user enters into the App, such as payment methods, balances, income, expenses, and settings.
• "Share Link" means a web link generated by the App for viewing the results of a split-bill calculation.

3. Contents of the App

Based on information manually entered by the user, the App provides features such as displaying balances by payment method and in total, recording and summarizing income and expenses, displaying weekly reports and AI comments, a Home Screen widget, and split-bill calculation and sharing. The App provides its core features free of charge and offers some premium features via a monthly/yearly subscription (in-app purchase). The App is a tool to assist with recording and understanding household finances, and it does not provide tax, accounting, investment, or any other professional advice.

4. Handling of Data and Backups

Recorded Data is stored on the user's device. The accuracy of the contents of the Recorded Data depends on the user's own input. We are not responsible for any loss or corruption of Recorded Data arising from failure, loss, or reset of the user's device, deletion of the App, OS updates, or similar events. We recommend that you back up important data yourself using iCloud backup or similar means. For details on how Recorded Data is handled, please see our Privacy Policy.

5. Split-Bill Share Link Feature

The App provides a feature to share the results of a split-bill calculation as an image or as a web Share Link. A Share Link contains the display information for the split bill—such as its title, amounts, and participant names—within the link itself, and this information is not stored on our servers.

Anyone who knows the Share Link can view its contents (amounts, names, etc.). It is the user's responsibility to manage with whom and how widely the link is shared. When sharing information such as participants' names, the user shall obtain the consent of the relevant participants as necessary. We are not responsible for any dispute or damage arising from such sharing.

6. Prohibited Conduct

In using the App, the user shall not engage in any of the following acts.

• Acts that violate laws and regulations or public order and morals
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, modifying, or creating derivative works of the App (except to the extent permitted by law)
• Exploiting defects or vulnerabilities in the App for improper purposes
• Infringing the intellectual property rights, privacy, reputation, or other rights of us or any third party
• Interfering with the operation of the App, or placing an excessive load on its servers or network
• Any other act that we reasonably determine to be inappropriate

7. Intellectual Property Rights

Copyrights, trademark rights, and other intellectual property rights relating to the App and this website belong to us or to the rightful holders. We grant the user a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the App in accordance with these Terms; this does not transfer any intellectual property rights. The rights to the Recorded Data entered by the user belong to the user.

8. Third-Party Services

For some features, the App may use services provided by third parties, such as obtaining exchange rates for overseas/currency-conversion features. We do not guarantee the availability or accuracy of these third-party services, and their use is governed by the terms set by each provider. Exchange rates and other information obtained from external sources are reference values and may differ from actual transaction rates.

9. Disclaimer of Liability

The balances, summaries, weekly reports, AI comments, split-bill calculation results, and the like displayed by the App are reference information based on the user's input, and we do not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or usefulness. When using such information for managing, paying, or settling money, the user shall carry out final confirmation and decisions at the user's own responsibility. We are not liable for any damage incurred by the user as a result of using or being unable to use the App, except in cases of our willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Even where we are liable, the scope of compensation is limited to ordinary and direct damages actually incurred (for paid features, capped at the amount you most recently paid us). Where the above disclaimer or limitation is not permitted under the Consumer Contract Act or other mandatory laws, it shall apply to the extent permitted by such laws.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is." We do not warrant that the App will be fit for the user's particular purpose, that it will be free of errors or defects, that it can be used without interruption, or that it will continue to be provided in the future. Due to changes in the specifications of operating systems or devices, all or part of the App may become unusable.

11. Changes, Suspension, and Termination of the Service

We may change the contents of the App, add or remove features, or temporarily suspend its provision without prior notice to the user. We may also terminate the provision of the App where there is reasonable cause. We are not liable for any damage incurred by the user as a result of these actions beyond the scope set out in these Terms.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may change these Terms when we deem it necessary. In the event of a material change, we will revise the "Last updated" date on this page and, as necessary, provide notice within the App or on this website. If the user continues to use the App after a change, the user is deemed to have agreed to the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The interpretation and application of these Terms shall be governed by the laws of Japan. In the event of any dispute between the user and us in connection with the App or these Terms, the Tokyo District Court / Tokyo Summary Court shall, depending on the amount in dispute, have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance by agreement.

14. Subscriptions (Auto-Renewable)

Some premium features of the App are offered as auto-renewable monthly or yearly subscriptions (in-app purchases). Sign-up and payment are handled entirely through Apple's App Store / StoreKit.

• The price, billing period, and available plans are as shown on the App Store at the time of purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically. Unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, the subscription renews at the same period and price, and your Apple ID account is charged.
• You can cancel at any time in iOS Settings › your Apple Account › Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect from the next renewal; no pro-rated refund is provided for the already-elapsed portion of the current period.
• Deleting the App from your device does not automatically cancel a subscription; please cancel separately using the steps above.
• Payments and refunds are managed by Apple. Whether a refund is granted follows the App Store refund policy and applicable law.
• If prices or plan contents change, you will be notified in advance by the method prescribed by Apple, and consent will be obtained where required. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the changed terms.
• The App does not offer a free trial.
