Terms of Service

Last updated: May 19, 2026 / Effective: May 19, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the AutoMenu iOS application (the "App"), which is provided by its developer ("Developer", "we", or "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you (the "User") agree to be bound by these Terms.

These Terms are the English translation of the original Japanese version. In the event of any inconsistency between the Japanese and English versions, the Japanese version shall prevail.

1. Scope

These Terms set out the conditions for the provision of the App and the rights and obligations between you and the Developer concerning your use of the App.
Any guidelines, notices, or supplementary terms posted by the Developer within the App or on related websites form part of these Terms.
If there is any conflict between these Terms and such guidelines, these Terms will prevail unless expressly stated otherwise.
The App is distributed via Apple Inc.'s ("Apple") App Store, and your use of the App is also subject to Apple's "Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions" ("Apple Terms"). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple Terms, the Apple Terms will prevail with respect to the matters covered therein.

2. The App

The App is a tool that helps you manage recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, and related content. The specific functionality, specifications, and form of the App may be determined and modified by the Developer from time to time.
Some or all features of the App may vary depending on the App version, operating system version, region, and other factors.

3. Registration and User Identifiers

The current version of the App does not require user registration. The App internally generates and uses an anonymous identifier (UUID); this does not result in the collection of your name, contact information, or other personally identifying information.
If account, pair-sharing, subscription, or similar features are introduced in a future version, additional registration steps and supplementary terms may apply.

4. Fees

The current version of the App is provided free of charge. You are responsible for any data, device, and other costs associated with your use of the App.
If we introduce subscriptions, one-time in-app purchases, or other paid features in the future, their prices, billing periods, auto-renewal terms, and cancellation methods will be displayed within the App and through the App Store. Any purchase you make is subject to the Apple Terms and the App Store's purchase processes.
To cancel a subscription, you must follow the procedure provided in your Apple ID's "Subscriptions" settings. We cannot directly stop auto-renewal or issue refunds; refunds are subject to Apple's discretion and procedures.

5. License

Subject to these Terms, the Developer grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on iOS devices for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
All intellectual property rights in and to the App belong to the Developer or its respective rights holders. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, no rights to the App are transferred to you.
You shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, create derivative works of, redistribute, rent, lease, sublicense, or transfer the App or any part of it, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.

6. User Content

All rights, including copyright, in the recipes, meal plans, notes, photos, and other content you create or upload in the App ("User Content") remain with you or the applicable rights holder.
In the current version, User Content is generally stored only on your device. If we introduce cloud sync, pair sharing, or similar features in the future, by enabling such features you authorize the Developer and its service providers (including cloud providers) to process User Content as necessary to provide such features (including sync, pair sharing, backup, recovery, and troubleshooting). These features will be enabled only by your explicit action.
You represent and warrant that your User Content does not infringe any third-party rights and does not violate these Terms.
The Developer does not, as a matter of routine, review the substance of User Content and disclaims responsibility for it. However, if it becomes clear that User Content violates applicable law or infringes third-party rights, the Developer may hide, remove, or otherwise act on such content.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

violate any applicable law, regulation, or public order and morals;
engage in conduct related to criminal activity;
infringe the intellectual property rights, portrait rights, privacy, honor, or other rights or interests of the Developer, other users, or third parties;
interfere with the operation of the App, impose excessive load, or probe or exploit security vulnerabilities;
unlawfully obtain, analyze, or use the App's source code, APIs, or communications;
misuse any future App account, impersonate others, or provide false information;
damage or interfere with any server or network related to the App, attempt unauthorized access, or execute malicious scripts or programs;
manipulate the App's contents, reviews, ratings, or rankings by unfair means;
use the App for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent;
engage in any other conduct that the Developer reasonably deems inappropriate.

8. Suspension, Modification, and Discontinuation

The Developer may suspend or interrupt the provision of all or part of the App, without prior notice to you, in any of the following situations:
1. maintenance, updates, inspection, or repair of the App;
2. earthquakes, lightning, fire, power outages, natural disasters, war, terrorism, epidemics, or other events of force majeure;
3. failure of computers or communication lines due to accidents;
4. other circumstances under which the Developer reasonably determines that providing the App is impracticable.
The Developer is not liable for any disadvantage or damage incurred by you or any third party as a result of such suspension or interruption, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Developer.
The Developer may modify the contents of the App without prior notice to you.
The Developer may discontinue the App with reasonable prior notice (typically 30 days). Where unavoidable circumstances exist, this notice period may be shortened.

9. Use Restrictions

The Developer may, without prior notice, restrict your use of all or part of the App or block your access to any server related to the App if:

you violate any provision of these Terms;
the Developer reasonably determines that your conduct is likely to cause harm to the Developer, other users, or third parties;
the Developer otherwise reasonably determines that your use of the App is inappropriate.

10. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, non-infringement, and absence of errors or bugs.
The App is a tool to help with household meal planning and shopping management. The App does not provide medical, nutritional, allergy, or other professional advice. Decisions about health, allergies, or dietary restrictions should be made based on your own judgment and the advice of qualified professionals such as physicians or registered dietitians. Do not rely on information in the App or on suggestions generated by any AI feature as a substitute for professional advice.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer will not be liable to you for any damages arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the App, except in the following cases:
1. damages arising from the Developer's willful misconduct or gross negligence;
2. cases in which liability cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.
Even in cases where the Developer is liable under the preceding paragraph, the Developer's liability is limited to direct and actual damages ordinarily arising, and the aggregate amount of liability shall not exceed the total amount you paid directly to the Developer for the App in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability (or zero, if no such amount was paid). Nothing in this paragraph limits liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, the Japanese Consumer Contract Act).
The Developer is not liable for any transactions, communications, or disputes between you and any other user or third party in connection with the App.

11. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services such as Firebase, provided by Google LLC, for analytics and crash reporting (see the Privacy Policy for details). Your use of such services is subject to the respective providers' terms and privacy policies.
The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. The Developer is not responsible for the content of such third-party sites or services.

12. Privacy

Information collected in connection with your use of the App is handled in accordance with our separate Privacy Policy. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to These Terms

The Developer may modify these Terms when it reasonably deems it necessary.
The modified Terms become effective when posted on this page. For changes that have a material adverse impact on users, we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice through in-app notices or postings on the website.
If you continue to use the App after the modified Terms take effect, you are deemed to have agreed to the modified Terms.

14. Contact

All inquiries and communications regarding the App should be sent to:

Email: sk.createapp@gmail.com

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the App or these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo Summary Court or the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance, depending on the amount in controversy. The foregoing does not affect any non-waivable rights of consumers under applicable law to bring an action in their place of residence.

16. Apple End User License Provisions

Because the App is distributed via Apple's App Store, the following additional terms apply:

These Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its contents.
These Terms apply to the extent they are not inconsistent with Apple's applicable terms for the App Store. To the extent of any conflict, Apple's applicable terms will prevail.
Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including but not limited to (i) product liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession or use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms or any part of any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law (including the Japanese Consumer Contract Act), the remaining provisions and remaining parts of the affected provision shall continue in full force and effect.
