These Terms of Service (the "Terms") set out the conditions for using the mobile game app "HOLD THE BULWARK" for Android and iOS (the "App") provided by Hirayama Properties K.K. ("we", "us"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms. If there is any inconsistency between the Japanese and English versions, the Japanese version prevails.
1. Application
These Terms apply to all matters relating to your use of the App. Any rules we set separately within the App form part of these Terms.
2. Prohibited Conduct
When using the App, you must not:
- Violate laws or public order and morals
- Infringe the intellectual property, portrait, privacy, reputation, or other rights or interests of us, other players, or third parties
- Set a player name that defames others, is obscene or discriminatory, or contains personally identifiable information
- Manipulate scores or game progress through cheats, modifications, unauthorized tools, tampering with communications, or similar means
- Disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the App
- Place excessive load on the App's network or systems, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the App
- Engage in any other conduct we deem inappropriate
3. Leaderboard
If you violate Section 2, or if we determine that a score is fraudulent, we may, without prior notice, delete the relevant player name or score, restrict your participation in the leaderboard, or take other measures.
4. In-App Purchases
- Paid items in the App are purchased through Google Play's billing system on Android and through the App Store on iOS, and the respective store's terms apply.
- Except as required by law, purchased items are not eligible for return, refund, or exchange. Refunds are subject to the refund policy of Google Play or Apple.
- Purchase data is stored on your device. We are not obligated to restore data lost due to uninstallation, device failure, or changing devices. However, you may be able to restore purchases through Google Play or the App Store.
- If you are a minor, please obtain your parent or guardian's consent before making purchases.
5. Advertising
The App displays ads provided by third parties. We are not responsible for the content of ads or any dealings with advertisers.
6. Suspension of the App
We may suspend or interrupt all or part of the App without prior notice for system maintenance, force majeure, communication failures, or other reasons we deem necessary.
7. Changes to or Termination of the App
We may change the content of the App or end its provision. If we end the App, we will give advance notice where possible.
8. Intellectual Property
Copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the App belong to us or to third parties with legitimate rights.
9. Disclaimer
We are released from liability for non-performance unless caused by our intent or gross negligence. We are not responsible for any transactions, communications, or disputes between you and other players or third parties relating to the App.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may change these Terms without your individual consent when the change is in the general interest of users, or when it does not conflict with the purpose of the agreement and is reasonable in light of the need for the change, the appropriateness of its content, and other circumstances. We will announce the change, the revised Terms, and the effective date in advance on this page or elsewhere.
11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance for any dispute relating to the App.
12. If You Obtained the App from the App Store
If you downloaded the iOS version from the App Store, the following also applies:
- These Terms are concluded between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App (including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection laws), and for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
- You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and 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.
