StoreRank Terms of Use

Article 1 (Application)

1. These Terms apply between us and the user in relation to use of the App. Any guidance or notices we provide separately, whether in the App or elsewhere, also form part of these Terms.
2. The App is provided through the App Store, and the user shall also comply with the terms established by Apple Inc.

Article 2 (Purpose of the App and the status of ranking information)

1. The App exists to retrieve, record, and display where apps appear for a given keyword, based on the public search results of the App Store.
2. Rankings shown by the App are reference values. Search results may vary with personalization, the time of measurement, the storefront (country/region), and changes on Apple's side, and we do not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or currency.
3. The App handles publicly available information within the App Store; it is not official ranking or analytics data provided by Apple Inc. The App is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Inc.
4. Any decisions or actions taken on the basis of information shown by the App are the user's own responsibility.

Article 3 (Data sources and external services)

1. To retrieve rankings and app details, the App communicates with public APIs and content delivery servers provided by Apple.
2. Changes to the specifications or terms of those external services, temporary outages, or their discontinuation may render some or all features of the App unavailable. We accept no liability for this.
3. The user must not use the App to place an excessive load on those external services, or in any way that breaches their terms of use.

Article 4 (Notifications and background refresh)

1. Notifications from the App are local notifications generated on the device. The user can change notification permission at any time in the device settings.
2. Automatic measurement in the background runs at the discretion of iOS, so we do not guarantee its timing, frequency, or that it runs at all. It may not run depending on the state of the device, Low Power Mode, or network conditions.

Article 5 (Data storage)

1. Search history, watchlist entries, measured snapshots, and similar data are in principle stored only on the user's device. Details are set out in the Privacy Policy.
2. Deleting (uninstalling) the App erases the information stored on the device. We have no obligation to back up or restore that information.

Article 6 (Paid features)

1. As of the effective date of these Terms, the App offers no paid features.
2. If paid features or a paid subscription are offered in future, billing will be processed through Apple's App Store (Apple Inc.), and the price, term, whether it renews automatically, and whether a free trial applies will be shown in the App and on the App Store at the time of purchase.
3. Where a subscription is offered, it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancellation is available under Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions in iOS.
4. The handling of billing and refunds through Apple is governed by the conditions Apple establishes, such as the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

Article 7 (Prohibited conduct)

In using the App, the user must not engage in any of the following:

1. Conduct that violates laws and regulations or public order and morals
2. Placing an excessive load on the App, our servers, or external services; unauthorized access; reverse engineering; and the like
3. Improperly circumventing or altering the App's features or limits
4. Using or redistributing information obtained through the App in a manner that infringes the rights of third parties
5. Any other conduct we deem inappropriate

Article 8 (Intellectual property)

Intellectual property rights in the App and its programs, designs, trademarks, and the like belong to us or to their rightful owners. The user may not reproduce, modify, or redistribute them without our permission. Rights in app names, icon images, and similar content displayed by the App belong to their respective owners.

Article 9 (Disclaimer)

1. In providing the App, we make no warranty, express or implied, as to fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, availability, or the like.
2. Except in cases of our willful misconduct or gross negligence, we accept no liability for damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the App — including damages based on differences between the rankings displayed and actual search results, or on notifications that fail to arrive or arrive late.
3. The App may not operate correctly depending on the operating system, the device, network conditions, or external services.

Article 10 (Changes, suspension, and termination of the service)

We may change the content of the App, or suspend or terminate its provision, without prior notice to the user. We accept no liability for damages arising to the user as a result, beyond the scope set out in the preceding article (Disclaimer).

Article 11 (Changes to these Terms)

We may change these Terms as necessary. Material changes will be announced in the App or through the App Store listing. If the user uses the App after a change, the user is deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms.

Article 12 (Use via the App Store)

1. Apple Inc. has no obligation whatsoever to furnish maintenance or support for the App.
2. We, within the scope of these Terms, are responsible for addressing claims relating to product liability, legal compliance, and third-party intellectual property infringement arising from the App; Apple bears no such responsibility.
3. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon the user's acceptance of these Terms Apple has the right to enforce them against the user.

Article 13 (Governing law and jurisdiction)

1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
