Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“these Terms”) set out the conditions for using Boccia Referee (https://boccia-referee.pages.dev/, “the App”), provided by 合同会社ほっとさぽーと (“we” or “us”). Anyone who uses the App (“the user”) is deemed to have agreed to these Terms.

This is a translation of the Japanese original, made with AI assistance. The Japanese version is the legally authoritative text; if there is any difference between this translation and the Japanese version, the Japanese version prevails.

Article 1 (The App)

The App is a web app that helps run recreational boccia matches (pairs and teams) and judge distances from photos. It is free to use.
There are no accounts. Match records and other data are stored on the user’s device (see the Privacy Policy).
To keep the App running, we may show ads, for example at the end of a match.

Article 2 (Status of the App’s calls)

The App’s calls (which ball is closer in a photo, scores, whose turn it is, etc.) are an aid to the referee and are not official rulings. Final decisions are made by the referee and the participants.
Photo judging has a margin of error. When it is close, measure with a tape measure or similar.
The App is based on the World Boccia rules, but it cannot be used for official competition records.

Article 3 (Paid “Ad-free”)

Users can buy “Ad-free” (a one-time purchase) within the App. After purchase, the App no longer shows ads in the browser on the device used for the purchase. All other features are the same as in the free version.
The price, payment methods, delivery timing and other details are as stated in the Legal notice (Japan). Payment is made by credit card on Stripe’s checkout page.
Purchases are managed with a “proof of purchase” stored on the device. To use it on another device or browser, or after clearing your browser data, use “Restore purchase” with the email address you used to pay. If you cannot receive email at that address, you may not be able to restore the purchase.
Please use a purchase only for yourself and others in your household or similar. Do not distribute or sell the proof of purchase or restore links to the public.
If you are a minor, please get your parent’s or guardian’s consent before buying.

Article 4 (Returns and refunds)

Because “Ad-free” is a digital service, we cannot give refunds for reasons on the user’s side after purchase.
If “Ad-free” cannot be used because of a defect for which we are responsible and we cannot fix it within a reasonable period, or if a refund is required by law, we will give a refund. Please contact info@eigosan.com.
When a purchase is refunded, its “Ad-free” is cancelled and ads are shown again.

Article 5 (Prohibited conduct)

Users must not:

Act against the law or public order and morals
Access the App’s servers without authorization, place an excessive load on them, or falsify payments or proofs of purchase
Request a purchase restore using someone else’s email address
Interfere with the operation of the App

Article 6 (Disclaimer)

We do not guarantee that the App’s calls are accurate or that the App suits the user’s purposes.
Match records stored on the device may be lost due to device failure, clearing of browser data, etc. Export and save any records that matter to you.
We are not liable for any damage the user suffers from using the App, except where caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence. Even where we are liable, our liability is limited to damage that would ordinarily arise, up to the amount the user has paid us. However, this limitation does not apply to the extent it is not permitted by law, such as Japan’s Consumer Contract Act.

Article 7 (Changes to and discontinuation of the App)

We may change the content of the App or stop providing it.
If we stop providing the App while there are users who have bought “Ad-free”, we will announce it in the App or on this page at least 30 days before the end date.

Article 8 (Changes to these Terms)

We may change these Terms to reflect changes in the law or in the App. When we do, we will announce the changes and their effective date on this page in advance. We will not change the content of an “Ad-free” purchase already made to the user’s disadvantage.

Article 9 (Governing law and jurisdiction)

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The district court having jurisdiction over our place of business shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance for any dispute relating to the App. However, if the user is a consumer, the user may also bring an action in a court specified by law.
