TERMS OF SERVICE

Terms of Service

These Terms set out the conditions for using NTTarot.

01

Application and consent

These Terms set out the conditions for using the public NTTarot website and web application (together, the “Service”) provided by the NTTarot administration office (the “Operator”). You must review and agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy before using the Service.

02

About the Service

The Service provides features for viewing and editing Tarot cards and spreads, recording readings, creating prompts to copy or share with an AI service chosen by the user, and saving or synchronizing data on the user's device or with supported cloud storage.

The Service is currently provided free of charge. Users are responsible for communication charges, device costs, external-service fees and any other expenses needed to use the Service. If paid features are introduced in the future, their prices and conditions will be shown in advance.

Advertising

After Google AdSense approves the Service, the Operator may display third-party advertisements on it. Advertised products and services, and the content of advertisements and linked pages, are provided by the advertiser. Transactions between users and advertisers are governed by the advertiser's terms.

Voluntary development tips

The Operator accepts optional development-support tips for the free Service and content already provided, using Square's checkout page. A tip is not a condition of using the Service. It does not give the payer access to paid features or deliverables, ownership rights, decision-making authority over operation of the Service or any other consideration. It is not a charitable donation eligible for a tax deduction.

The user enters an amount on Square's checkout page, reviews the payment method and amount, and then confirms payment. Completed tips are generally non-refundable except in cases such as a duplicate charge, system error, suspected unauthorized use, a requirement under the payment provider's terms, or a legal obligation. See the Commercial Disclosure for detailed conditions. A minor must obtain the prior consent of a parent or other legal representative before paying a tip.

03

Your environment and external accounts

You are responsible for obtaining and properly managing the device, browser, network connection and external-service accounts needed to use the Service. Connecting OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive is optional.

You must not use another person's account without permission. On a shared device, take particular care to sign out and manage data stored in the browser.

04

Managing user data

You must ensure that you have the necessary rights to questions, notes, reading histories, decks, spreads and other data you create or save with the Service, and you are responsible for managing that data.

Data may be lost because of device failure, deletion of browser data, failure of an external service, a synchronization conflict or other circumstances. Make separate backups of important data yourself.

05

Prohibited conduct

When using the Service, you must not:

  • violate any law, public order or accepted standards of conduct, or the rights of a third party;
  • impersonate another person or misuse another person's account or authentication information;
  • place an excessive load on the Service, its related networks or an external service, or otherwise interfere with their operation;
  • probe for vulnerabilities, gain unauthorized access, obtain information improperly, bypass security controls or attempt any of those activities;
  • fraudulently click advertisements or manipulate impressions, payments or usage data, including by automating such conduct;
  • use the Service to harass or threaten another person, infringe their rights, or otherwise cause them unjust harm or disadvantage; or
  • engage in any other conduct that the Operator reasonably considers inappropriate for operation of the Service.
06

External services and AI-generated content

Use of Cloudflare, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Square and any AI service selected by a user is governed by each provider's terms. If Google AdSense is introduced, its use will likewise be governed by Google's terms. Changes, suspension or failure of an external service may make parts of the Service unavailable.

Neither prompts created by the Service nor answers generated by an external AI service are guaranteed to be accurate, complete, current or fit for a particular purpose. Use Tarot results and AI-generated content for entertainment and as an aid to self-understanding; do not substitute them for medical, legal, financial, employment or other professional or consequential decisions. Consult a qualified professional when necessary.

The Operator is not a party to transactions with an advertiser or an external site reached through an advertisement. You are responsible for checking the product or service, its price, its handling of personal information and other relevant conditions.

07

Intellectual property

Rights in the text, images, design, software and other content that make up the Service belong to the Operator or their lawful rights holders.

Use of card images and decks

Within the features provided by the Service, and for personal use, you may duplicate the Tarot decks included with the Service and edit or customize their card images, names, descriptions and other contents.

This permission includes copying data to the extent required to save, back up, export or synchronize it through the Service, or otherwise to use the Service.

Unless permitted by law or authorized by the Operator or other rights holder, you must not reproduce, redistribute, sell, publicly transmit or make similar use of card images, card descriptions or other content included with the Service for the purpose of using that content outside the Service.

Rights in images, text, decks, spreads and other data that you prepare and register with the Service remain with you or their lawful rights holder. You must not register or use content that infringes another person's copyright, trademark or other rights.

The Service processes data that you register or create only to the extent necessary to provide its features and to save, back up or synchronize the data.

08

Changes, interruption and termination

The Operator may change the Service or temporarily suspend or end its provision for maintenance, incident response, security needs, changes in law or external services, or another reasonable cause. When the effect on users is significant, notice will be posted on this site in advance where practicable. This advance-notice requirement does not apply in an emergency.

09

Warranties and scope of liability

The Operator does not warrant that the Service will be free of defects, interruptions or data loss, or that information published through or obtained from the Service will be accurate, complete, current, secure or suitable for a user's particular purpose.

To the extent permitted by law, if the Operator is liable in damages in connection with the Service, that liability is limited to ordinary and direct damage actually suffered by the user, except where the damage was caused intentionally or by the Operator's gross negligence. If this or another limitation of liability is invalid under Japan's Consumer Contract Act or other applicable law, that law will govern.

10

Changes to these Terms

The Operator may change these Terms in accordance with law after considering the need for the change, the reasonableness of the revised terms and other relevant circumstances. Material changes and their effective date will be announced on this site in advance. The revised Terms take effect on the stated effective date.

11

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Unless the law requires otherwise, the district court or summary court with jurisdiction over the Operator's location has exclusive agreed jurisdiction in the first instance over disputes concerning the Service or these Terms.
