Version: v20251118
Last Updated: November 18, 2025 (v20251118)
Scope: All KyaraFlip services, including web, mobile, API, SDK, and related offerings

The Japanese-language Terms of Service constitute the legally binding agreement. This English translation is provided for reference only. By accessing or using KyaraFlip, you agree to comply with these Terms.

0. Document Hierarchy

When conflicts arise among Service documents, the following order applies:

  1. Terms of Service, Privacy Notice, Content/Community Guidelines, and the Creator Support Guidelines
  2. Program-specific agreements or guides issued by the Service (e.g., Licenses & Rights Guide)
  3. Individual work-level licenses (KFL, Creative Commons, custom licences) and the work page display

Item 3 governs third-party reuse outside the Service. For in-service operations, items 1 and 2 take precedence.

1. Definitions

  • "Company": The corporation or limited liability company that operates KyaraFlip.
  • "Services": The KyaraFlip suite provided by the Company (website, mobile experiences, API, SDK, and related tools).
  • "Content": All information available through the Services, including text, images, audio, video, source code, templates, and metadata.
  • "User Content": Content submitted, uploaded, created, or transmitted by users via the Services.
  • "Remix": Creation of derivative works or reuse based on other User Content.
  • "Paid Services": Features that require payment, such as subscriptions, in-app purchases, or royalty sharing.
  • "External LLM Provider": Third-party large language model providers used to deliver or improve features (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google).

2. Accounts

  1. Users must provide accurate, up-to-date information and manage their accounts responsibly.
  2. Transferring, lending, or sharing accounts with third parties is prohibited. Activities undertaken by third parties using the account will be deemed those of the user, and the Company may claim compensation for resulting damages.
  3. The Company may restrict login, limit features, suspend, or delete accounts without prior notice if a violation or suspected violation occurs.
  4. Suspension or deletion of an account does not affect existing licenses for User Content or outstanding payment obligations.

3. Provision and Modification of Services

  1. The Company may modify, add, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Services without prior notice.
  2. Significant changes will be communicated via dashboard, email, or official channels with reasonable advance notice (in principle at least 14 days).
  3. In the event of maintenance or force majeure, the Company will make reasonable efforts to share information but does not guarantee uninterrupted service.
  4. The Company bears no liability for damages arising from changes, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services as set forth in Section 12.

4. Paid Services, Fees, and Automatic Renewal

  1. Fees, payment methods, and billing cycles follow on-screen information or supplemental documents. Subscription plans remain effective for one month (or the displayed period) from the enrollment date and automatically renew under the same terms unless canceled at least three days before the end of the current period.
  2. Payments are processed via Stripe, PayPal, or other payment intermediaries. Exchange rates, fees, and taxes follow the intermediary’s conditions.
  3. The Company may suspend service provision and seek damages, including necessary costs, if a user fails to pay.
  4. Mandatory disclosures required by applicable law and cancellation/refund policies are provided separately.

5. Prohibited Conduct

Users must not engage in the following (non-exhaustive list):

  1. Acts that violate laws, public policy, or these Terms.
  2. Infringement of third-party rights (including copyrights, trademarks, portrait rights, or privacy).
  3. Sending spam, impersonation, sharing accounts with third parties, or fraudulent use of payment methods.
  4. Excessive loading of the Services, reverse engineering, scraping, automated posting by bots, or other technical acts deemed inappropriate by the Company.
  5. Creating or distributing malware, DoS code, or content that facilitates unauthorized access.
  6. Using the Services to harm the Company or third parties, or abusing remix functionality.

6. User Content and License

  1. Users retain copyrights to their User Content.
  2. By submitting content, users grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and revocable license to use it within the Service for:
    • Hosting, caching, storing, backing up, transmitting, and displaying the content
    • Minor technical adaptations needed for staging or UI (resizing, trimming, subtitles/localisation, BGM sync, effect application, format conversion, metadata generation, etc.)
    • Display in feeds, rankings, recommendations, moderation consoles, and similar surfaces
    • Limited retention for logging, auditing, and quality assurance
  3. This Service license takes precedence over per-work licences (KFL, Creative Commons, custom terms) for in-Service operations. For reuse outside the Service, the per-work licence or creator-stated terms apply.
  4. Users agree not to assert moral rights against the Company for the uses described above to the extent permitted by law.
  5. The Company may remove, hide, or suspend monetisation of User Content that is illegal or inappropriate.
  6. Users represent and warrant that they have obtained all necessary rights and permissions for their User Content and that it does not infringe third-party rights. Users must handle third-party claims at their own expense and indemnify the Company against resulting damages.
  7. Users are responsible for backing up their User Content. The Company has no obligation to store or back up User Content and is not liable for loss or damage within the scope of Section 12.

7. Remix Features and Revenue Sharing

  1. Users may configure whether their works are eligible for remix; permitted works allow reproduction and limited modification of templates, images, audio, and scripts.
  2. Remix works automatically display the original creator, work title, and source URL, and users must not remove such attributions.
  3. Revenue sharing between original creators and remix authors follows ratios displayed on the dashboard (e.g., 70% primary / 30% secondary, 5% for additional tiers).
  4. In disputes over revenue sharing, the Company will make a reasonable final determination based on logs and metadata.

8. External LLM Usage and Data Handling

  1. The Company may use External LLM Providers for game generation, translation, support improvements, or similar purposes.
  2. Prompts, code, and metadata may be transmitted to LLM providers under contractual restrictions that prevent secondary use for training. Any future changes will require separate opt-in consent.
  3. Transmitted data is minimized; personal or confidential information is masked or removed. Logs are retained for up to 180 days only as operationally necessary.
  4. Lists of providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) are disclosed in the privacy policy and dashboard.

9. Revenue Sharing, Unclaimed Funds, and Taxes

  1. Revenue distributions occur through Stripe Connect, PayPal Payouts, or other processors. Users must complete KYC and required tax documentation.
  2. Fees, platform charges, and applicable taxes may be deducted from payouts.
  3. Amounts that cannot be paid due to account deletion or incomplete KYC are held for a specified period (e.g., 12 months) and may be redistributed to collaborators or retained by the Company via a creator fund in accordance with the Unclaimed Funds Policy.

10. Data Retention and Disclosure

  1. Upon account deletion requests, the Company deletes personal data except where retention is necessary for legal compliance, accounting, taxation, or dispute resolution.
  2. The Company may disclose information to authorities or third parties when required by law or for urgent safety reasons.

11. Reporting Violations

  1. Suspected violations or rights infringements may be reported through the support form (`/support/report`) or other designated channels.
  2. The Company reviews reports and may delete content, suspend accounts, or take other appropriate measures.

12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  1. The Company is not liable for damages arising from use of the Services, including loss of profits or indirect or special damages, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
  2. If liability is imposed, compensation is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount the user paid to the Company in the three months preceding the event, or (b) JPY 10,000.

13. Termination and Suspension

  1. The Company may immediately suspend or delete accounts, block access, preserve logs, or refuse re-registration if a user breaches the Terms.
  2. Termination of Paid Services does not affect the license in Section 6 or payment obligations in Section 9.

14. Notices

  1. Notices may be delivered via dashboard postings, registered email addresses, or other methods deemed appropriate by the Company.
  2. Email notices are deemed delivered at the time of sending.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

  1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
  2. The Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance for disputes arising from or related to the Terms or the Services.

16. Amendments

  1. The Company may amend the Terms from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in advance pursuant to Section 3.
  2. Continued use of the Services after amendments constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
