1Agreement
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Starwalk (Shanghai) Network Technology Ltd ("StarWalk Technology", "we", "us") for the Tamatabi (たま旅) app and widget (the "App"). By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2Using the App
Tamatabi is a virtual pet that travels a simulated version of the real world. If you are under the age of majority where you live, please use the App with permission from a parent or guardian. You are responsible for your device, its internet connection and any data charges.
3Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules. All rights in the App, including its characters, artwork, text and software, belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or reverse-engineer the App, or use the characters or artwork commercially, except as allowed by law.
4Coins and virtual items
- Coins, food, tickets, souvenirs and other in-app items are earned in the App (for example from steps or optional rewarded ads). They cannot be bought, and they have no monetary value.
- They cannot be exchanged for money or real goods, and cannot be transferred or sold outside the App.
- We may adjust balances, limits or items to keep the game fair, fix errors or respond to misuse. Items may be lost if you delete the App or reset your pet.
5Friends and your content
The optional Friends feature lets you share your pet's profile and send gifts and postcards. You keep ownership of the text you write (pet names, notes and postcard messages, "Your Content"). You give us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process and display Your Content only as needed to run the App, including sending it to the friends you choose and to the AI providers described in our Privacy Policy.
You can block or report other players in the App. We may review reports and remove content, or limit or suspend access to the Friends feature, if we believe these Terms have been broken.
6Rules of conduct
Please do not:
- send content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexual, violent, or that infringes someone else's rights;
- share personal information about yourself or others in pet names, notes or postcards;
- impersonate others, spam, or abuse the friend, gift or report systems;
- tamper with the App, use modified clients, bots or scripts, or access our servers other than through the App;
- interfere with the App's security or overload our services.
7AI-generated content and place information
Your pet's journey is a simulation. Diaries, letters, decisions and local information are generated automatically, partly by AI, and come from third-party sources such as maps, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and shops. This content may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date and is provided for entertainment only.
Do not rely on the App for navigation, travel planning, transit times, weather, opening hours, events, prices or safety decisions. If you visit a place you saw in the App, follow local laws and signs, and respect private property.
8Third-party services, ads and links
The App uses third-party services (such as Apple, Google, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, Radio Browser and Rakuten) that are governed by their own terms. The App may show optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob. Souvenir items may link to online shops through affiliate links, marked "Ad", and we may earn a commission. Purchases you make in those shops are between you and the shop. We are not responsible for third-party websites, products, radio streams or content.
9Changes to the App
We are always improving Tamatabi. We may add, change or remove features, limits or content, and we may suspend or stop the App or its online features (with notice in the App where reasonably possible).
10Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that saved data will never be lost.
11Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, virtual items or profits, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim related to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim (if any) and JPY 10,000.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for our wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or your rights as a consumer (for example under Japan's Consumer Contract Act).
12Termination
You can stop using the App at any time and delete your server data in the App. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as 3, 4, 10, 11 and 14) will survive.
13Apple App Store terms
- These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding the App.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
- If a third party claims the App infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
14Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance over any dispute arising from these Terms or the App, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection laws of the country where you live.
15Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post the new version on this page with a new date and, for material changes, notify you in the App in advance. If you continue to use the App after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.
