dopa-writing Terms of Use
Last updated: September 18, 2026
The Japanese version is the original. If a translation differs, the Japanese version prevails unless applicable law requires otherwise.
1. Provider and scope
dopa-writing (the “App”) is provided by the provider identified in the Seller field on the App Store, operating under the name ヨダカ (yodaka) (the “Provider”). These Terms govern the publicly released iPhone version distributed through the App Store.
The App is licensed under Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA). These Terms supplement it with information about services, purchases and your records; they do not replace it as a custom EULA. If they conflict, Apple's Standard EULA prevails regarding the software license. Mandatory rights and obligations under applicable law always take priority.
2. The service
The App supports daily writing and time management through writing, saving and reviewing records, growing dopakaki, and Screen Time restrictions on apps you select.
It is not a medical device, diagnostic, treatment, psychotherapy or emergency counseling service. Setup questions, time goals and reflections are for your own reference. The App does not diagnose illness or addiction, or promise treatment results or particular behavioral changes.
3. Conditions of use
Use the App on a device you control or are authorized to use, in accordance with applicable law and Apple's terms. Minors must obtain a parent or guardian's consent for contracts and purchases where required by local law. The App is not directed primarily at children.
No separate account is required. Purchases, restoration, web browsing and similar features require an internet connection. You are responsible for connection charges.
4. Screen Time restrictions
Restrictions apply within the permission and targets you select in Apple's system interface. You can revoke permission in iPhone settings. Writing, saving and reviewing remain available if you do not grant permission.
Applying or removing restrictions depends on OS behavior, device state and authorization, among other factors. Exact timing and automatic opening of the App from a restriction screen are not guaranteed in every situation.
Choose targets and settings that do not interfere with safety-critical communication or activities. In an emergency, use available unlock controls or device settings and prioritize your safety and the safety of others.
5. Rights in and storage of your writing
You retain rights to your writing. These Terms do not grant the Provider a right to obtain or use it for advertising, publication, AI training or similar purposes. The App has no feature for publishing or distributing your writing to other users.
Writing and records are handled on your device. Content you choose not to keep at the end of a writing session is not added as a new saved writing record, but records such as character counts remain. Journal entries and edits are saved separately. See the Privacy Policy for keeping, releasing, copying, deletion and backups.
Records may be lost because of App deletion, device failure or loss, backup conditions or similar events. The Provider does not hold a copy and cannot recover lost writing. Keep any writing you need using available means such as copying it.
6. Pro subscription
Pro is an auto-renewable subscription offered through the App Store, with a period of one month or one year. Features, price, duration and applicable offers are displayed on the App's plan screen and Apple's purchase confirmation screen before purchase. Prices vary by country, region and currency. Check the displayed price for the amount actually charged.
- When you confirm a purchase, the payment method associated with your Apple Account is charged.
- The subscription renews for the selected period unless canceled. If you do not want renewal, cancel in Apple's subscription settings before the current period ends. Renewal and billing timing follow Apple's terms and purchase disclosures.
- Cancel through Manage subscription in the App, or open your Apple Account's Subscriptions in iPhone Settings. See Apple's cancellation instructions.
- Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription. Sending the Provider an email alone cannot cancel your Apple subscription.
- You can normally use Pro until the end of the paid period after cancellation. Refunds and purchase revocations follow the entitlement state provided by Apple.
- Use the same Apple Account used for purchase and select Restore purchases in the App to restore your entitlement. This does not restore deleted or lost writing.
- Expiration alone does not delete writing or journals saved on your device. When Pro entitlement ends, available features, settings and usage allowances return to the free tier.
- Request refunds through Apple's refund service. Apple's conditions and applicable law govern refunds. These Terms do not limit statutory refund, cancellation or other rights.
Only if a trial or discount is offered, eligibility, duration and subsequent price will be shown before purchase. To avoid renewing a free trial, follow Apple's instructions and cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Price changes follow Apple's process, including required notices and consent.
7. Prohibited conduct
Do not use the App to violate law, infringe others' rights, carry out fraudulent purchases or refunds, gain unauthorized access, disrupt services or interfere with devices or people without authority. Software analysis, copying and similar activities are governed by Apple's Standard EULA and applicable law.
This clause does not prohibit privately expressing your feelings or thoughts on your own device. The Provider does not monitor or review your writing.
8. Rights in the App
Rights in the App's code, design, explanatory text, dopakaki and other materials belong to the Provider or their rightful owners. Apple's features and materials and third-party software are subject to their respective rights and licenses.
9. Changes, interruptions and discontinuation
The Provider may change, interrupt or discontinue the App for maintenance, security, legal compliance or similar reasons. Material changes or discontinuation will be announced in advance through appropriate means, such as the App or web pages, except in emergencies.
If a change affects services for a period already purchased, it will be handled under applicable law and Apple's procedures. This clause does not generally extinguish purchasers' rights.
10. Responsibility
The Provider seeks to operate the App properly and address defects, but does not guarantee that it is free of defects on every device or OS, that records cannot be lost, or that restrictions always operate exactly as configured.
Liability attributable to the Provider is governed by applicable law. These Terms do not exclude or limit liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, statutory consumer rights or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
11. Changes to these Terms
Changes will be made only within the scope and procedures permitted by applicable law. Changes and their effective date will be announced in advance through appropriate means, such as the App or web pages. Separate consent will be requested where legally required.
12. Governing law and your rights
Japanese law governs these Terms, without depriving you of mandatory consumer, privacy or other protections applicable in your place of residence or otherwise. If a clause is invalid, the remaining clauses continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
