TERMS
Terms of Use
Terms for enjoying Nishiki and using its accompanying weather service.
Effective / last updated
1. Scope and licence
These terms cover Nishiki, its accompanying weather service and website, operated by Yoshiki Nitta. Apple's Standard EULA and Usage Rules govern the licence to the App Store app. These terms supplement conditions for the accompanying services; applicable Apple terms and mandatory law prevail in a conflict. Minors must have parental or guardian consent where required by law.
2. Service and purchase
Nishiki is a virtual koi pond for leisure. It is not an animal-care tool, medical or psychological treatment, or emergency information service, and no particular health benefit is promised.
Seven starter koi are included with the paid app. Additional varieties are available as individual one-time purchases. The All Varieties Pack includes all current and future koi varieties. Check the App Store price and system requirements before purchasing. You pay your connectivity costs. Purchasing the app does not promise indefinite availability of third-party weather services.
Payments and refunds are handled through Apple's procedures. Nothing here removes statutory cancellation, refund or other consumer remedies.
3. Weather and external services
Weather represents a location within your selected region, not every address. Accuracy, timeliness and uninterrupted availability are not guaranteed. Network faults, request limits or provider changes may cause delays, gaps or suspension. The app may display the last received observation.
Do not rely solely on the app for emergencies, travel safety, aviation, navigation, farming or decisions affecting life, health or property. Consult current information from official sources.
We may reasonably change, limit or suspend features for maintenance, security, legal compliance or provider changes. We will give advance notice of material reductions or termination when practicable and comply with obligations to purchasers. Emergency changes may be notified afterwards.
4. Devices and stored settings
Settings are stored primarily on your device and can be lost after deletion, damage, replacement or OS actions. We do not provide dedicated cloud synchronisation or recovery. Continuous rendering can affect battery use and temperature; use graphics settings and the viewing timer as appropriate.
5. Intellectual property and misuse
The operator and respective owners retain rights in software, images, audio and documents. Do not extract or redistribute assets beyond your licence, infringe rights, gain unauthorised access, overload the service, evade limits or harass others. Restrictions do not prevent activities permitted by applicable law or open-source licences.
You may share screenshots and videos of ordinary app use, subject to third-party rights. Do not imply that your post is an official statement from the operator.
6. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant error-free operation, uninterrupted service or fitness for a particular purpose. Where lawful, liability for ordinary negligence is limited to actual, direct and ordinary loss, up to the price you paid for the app.
These limitations do not apply to intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or any liability that cannot be limited by law. Mandatory consumer rights and remedies remain intact. The operator does not have unilateral authority to decide whether liability exists or to set its limits.
7. Support and restrictions
We provide support within reasonable limits without promising response times, requested features or unlimited individual assistance. Suggestions may inform improvements without publishing personal information in your enquiry. Serious misuse or attacks may lead to necessary and proportionate network restrictions, without removing statutory purchaser rights.
8. Changes and disputes
Changes must benefit users generally or be reasonable in light of their necessity and impact. We will announce changes and their effective date in advance and obtain consent where legally required.
Japanese law governs, subject to mandatory consumer protections in your place of residence. This does not remove your right to use a court available under applicable law. Please contact support first to seek a resolution. Unresolved disputes may be brought before a court with lawful jurisdiction. If a provision is invalid, the remainder applies to the extent lawful.
