1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the higher minimum age required in your country, to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Service on devices that you own or control, as permitted by the usage rules of the app store from which you obtained it. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent or sublicense the Service; reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract its source code except where applicable law or an open-source license expressly permits it; or remove any proprietary notices.

3. Your content

The bookmarks you save, the categories you create and the pages you choose to keep ("Your Content") remain yours. Your Content is stored on your devices and, on Apple platforms, in your own iCloud account. We do not host, access, review or moderate Your Content and we claim no ownership of it.

You are responsible for Your Content and for making sure that saving, summarizing and reading a page in the app is permitted by the website's terms and by applicable law, including copyright law. Summaries are produced for your personal reading; the underlying articles remain the property of their authors and publishers.

You are also responsible for keeping backups. The Service relies on your device's storage and on iCloud for sync; we cannot recover data that is deleted from your device or iCloud, or lost through device failure.

4. On-device AI

Summaries, categories and tags are generated automatically by machine-learning models that run on your device (Apple Intelligence on Apple platforms, Gemini Nano on Android). Such output may be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date or misleading, and may omit important context. It is provided for convenience only. Always refer to the original page before relying on any summary, and do not use summaries as a substitute for professional, medical, legal or financial advice.

On-device AI is only available on devices, operating-system versions, regions and languages supported by Apple or Google. On unsupported devices the app still saves bookmarks but does not produce summaries. Availability is determined by the platform provider and may change without notice.

5. Third-party websites and services

The Service downloads and displays content from the websites you save. Those websites are operated by third parties, are not under our control, and are subject to their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or conduct.

iCloud sync is provided by Apple under the terms of your Apple Account, and optional crash and usage reports are processed by Google under its terms. Your use of those services is governed by the respective provider's agreements.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service:

• in violation of any law, regulation or third-party right;
• to access websites or content that you are not authorized to access, or to circumvent access controls, paywalls or rate limits;
• to interfere with, overload or disrupt any website, network or service, including through automated bulk saving;
• to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service or of the infrastructure of Apple, Google or any other provider;
• to build a competing product by systematically extracting the Service's output.

7. Intellectual property and open source

The Service, including its software, design, name, logo and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. "Atoyomu" and the Atoyomu logo are trademarks of Minato Digital. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks.

The Service includes open-source components, including Mozilla Readability (Apache License 2.0), which are licensed under their own terms. Those licenses are listed in the app's settings and take precedence over these Terms with respect to the relevant components.

8. Changes to the Service

We may add, change or remove features, or discontinue the Service in whole or in part, at any time. Where practical we will give notice in the app or on this website. Features that depend on Apple or Google (such as iCloud sync or on-device AI) may change or become unavailable as a result of changes made by those companies.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that summaries will be accurate, that any website will remain accessible, or that sync will always succeed.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived under applicable law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim or 1,000 Japanese yen.

These limitations do not apply to liability arising from our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or to any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including under the Consumer Contract Act of Japan.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or terminate your license if you breach these Terms. On termination, the license in section 2 ends; sections 3, 7, 9, 10, 14 and 15 survive.

12. Additional terms for Apple platforms

If you obtained the Service from the App Store or Mac App Store, the following also applies:

• These Terms are between you and Minato Digital only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
• The license is limited to use of the Service on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the Service may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service.
• If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Service or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the Service fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
• If a third party claims that the Service infringes its intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Service (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Additional terms for Google Play

If you obtained the Service from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. In case of conflict between those terms and these Terms regarding the download or use of the app from Google Play, the Google Play terms prevail.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance. If you are a consumer residing in the EU, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction whose law grants you mandatory protection, nothing in this section deprives you of that protection or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence.

15. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when they were last changed. Material changes will be announced in the app or on this website before they take effect, and your continued use after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are provided in English and Japanese. If the two versions differ, the Japanese version prevails.
