1. Application and Acceptance
These Terms apply to all relationships concerning the use of the App and the services we provide within the App (collectively, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please discontinue use of the App. Use of the UtaRank website (https://utarank.ponmedia.com) is governed separately by the "Website Terms of Use" (https://utarank.ponmedia.com/en/site-terms/).
2. License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or redistribute the App.
3. Operating Environment
Use of the App requires an iPhone running iOS 18 or later. An internet connection is required for features such as ad delivery, purchasing subscriptions, verifying subscription status, and obtaining app updates. If you are using the Premium Plan, you can enjoy the main game features offline. However, an internet connection may still be required periodically to verify your subscription status. All communication fees required for the internet connection, as well as the cost of any devices and lines necessary to use the Service, shall be borne entirely by the user.
4. Prohibited Conduct
When using the Service, you shall not engage in any of the following acts: • Acts that violate laws, regulations, or public order and morals • Acts related to criminal activity • Acts that infringe the intellectual property rights, portrait rights, privacy, reputation, or other rights or interests of the Developer or any third party • Acts that may interfere with the operation of the Service • Attempts at unauthorized access, or exploitation of vulnerabilities in the App • Any other acts that we deem inappropriate
5. Advertising and Paid Features
The App is provided free of charge as a basic offering, and the free plan displays advertisements delivered through Google AdMob. The Premium Plan is provided as an auto-renewing subscription. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at the time of purchase, and the subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal fee will be charged to your Apple ID within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time after purchase from your App Store account settings. Billing, refunds, and handling of payment issues are managed by Apple Inc. Refunds shall be subject to Apple's policies, and we do not, as a rule, handle refund requests. Premium features include removal of advertisements, full display of past history, access to premium topics, and offline play. The content of the features provided may change without prior notice.
6. Changes, Suspension, and Termination
We may change the content of the Service or suspend or terminate the provision of the Service without prior notice to users. We shall not be liable for any damages arising from such actions, except in cases of our willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition, game data, settings, play history, and other information stored on your device may be lost due to updates or specification changes. We do not guarantee the preservation of such data, and backing up data is the user's responsibility.
7. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
We make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, regarding the Service, including but not limited to its accuracy, completeness, usefulness, fitness for a particular purpose, safety, or freedom from errors or defects. We shall not be liable for any damages incurred by users arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Service, except in cases of our willful misconduct or gross negligence. Even where we are held liable, the scope of compensation shall be limited to the amount the user has paid to the Developer or to Apple in connection with the App during the 12 months immediately preceding the occurrence of such damages (except where such limitation is restricted by the Consumer Contract Act or other mandatory laws).
8. Intellectual Property Rights
All copyrights, trademark rights, and other intellectual property rights in the software, text, images, designs, trademarks, logos, and all other content included in the App and the Service belong to the Developer or other rightful owners. You shall not engage in any acts that infringe these rights.
9. Data Collection and Use
The App incorporates the Google AdMob SDK, which may collect data such as device identifiers, approximate location, ad interaction history, product interaction data, crash logs, and performance information. The Developer itself does not independently collect or store such technical data. Through iOS's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature, users can choose whether to allow tracking across other companies' apps and websites. Even if you do not permit tracking, the basic features of the App will remain available, although the relevance of the displayed ads may decrease. If you are using the Premium Plan, the advertising SDK is not initialized, and therefore the data collection described above does not occur. For details on the categories of data collected, the purposes of use, and provision to third parties, please refer to our separately published Privacy Policy. By using the App, you are deemed to have consented to such collection and use of data.
10. Apple-Related Provisions
These Terms are entered into between you and the Developer, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Developer is solely responsible for the App and its content. (a) Third-Party Beneficiaries: You acknowledge and agree that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. (b) Maintenance and Support: The Developer is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, and Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. (c) Product Claims: The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including, but not limited to, product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. (d) Intellectual Property Claims: In the event of any third-party claim that the App infringes that party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim. (e) Supplementary Application: For matters not expressly stated in these Terms, the terms of the Apple Standard EULA (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) shall apply on a supplementary basis. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA, these Terms shall prevail, except with respect to provisions required by Apple's guidelines. (f) Warranty: In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the App to you (if applicable). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and the Developer is responsible for addressing any claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses attributable to such non-conformance. (g) Legal Compliance: You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
