These Terms of Service (hereinafter referred to as "these Terms") set forth the conditions for the use of the services (hereinafter referred to as "the Service") provided by Kota Nakashima (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our") on this website. Registered users (hereinafter referred to as "Users") must use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

These Terms shall apply to all relationships related to the use of the Service between Users and us.

In addition to these Terms, we may establish various other rules and provisions regarding the Service (hereinafter referred to as "Individual Provisions"). These Individual Provisions, regardless of their names, constitute part of these Terms.

If the provisions of these Terms conflict with the Individual Provisions, the Individual Provisions shall prevail unless otherwise specified therein.

Additionally, if a translation of these Terms conflicts with the Japanese version, the Japanese version shall prevail.

To use the Service, an account registered on the PLC server operated by Bluesky PBLLC ("Bluesky") or an account using did:web and the access to the PDS are required.

We shall bear no responsibility whatsoever if your account or PDS becomes unusable for reasons unrelated to the use of the Service, such as violations of Bluesky's Terms of Service.

Moreover, even if your account or PDS become unusable due to reasons arising from the use of the Service, we shall not bear responsibility unless caused intentionally or through gross negligence on our part.

Users shall appropriately manage their User ID and password for the Service under their own responsibility.

Users may not transfer or lend their User ID and password to a third party or share them with third parties under any circumstances.

We will consider a login using a combination of User ID and password matching the registered information as a login by the User who registered the ID.

We shall not be liable for any damage caused by the use of a User ID and password by a third party unless due to our intentional or gross negligence.

Users may use the Service free of charge.

The Service acts as an intermediary for storing and displaying articles and other data on PDS servers operated or borrowed by Users themselves.

Users may only post or upload through the Service texts, images, videos, and other information to which they hold the necessary intellectual property rights or have obtained permission from the rightful owner.

• Is otherwise deemed inappropriate by us for the continued use of the Service.

If any of the above apply, Users immediately lose the benefit of term for all debts owed to us and must promptly repay all outstanding debts.

We bear no responsibility for any damage suffered by Users resulting from actions we take under this article.

To cancel an account used on Bluesky's PLC server or did:web for using the Service, follow the cancellation procedures established by Bluesky or delete the did:web record.

We bear no responsibility regarding cancellation procedures.

We provide no express or implied guarantee that the Service is free from factual or legal defects (including safety, reliability, accuracy, completeness, validity, fitness for a particular purpose, security-related flaws, errors, bugs, or infringement of rights).

We shall not be liable for any damage caused to Users due to the Service, except where due to our intentional acts or gross negligence.

However, this disclaimer does not apply when the contract between us and the User (including these Terms) constitutes a consumer contract under the Consumer Contract Act.

Even in such cases, we shall not be liable for damages arising from special circumstances (including foreseeable damage) due to ordinary negligence.

Our liability for damages caused by ordinary negligence is limited to the amount of fees received from the User in the month the damage occurred.

We shall not be liable for transactions, communications, or disputes between Users and third parties related to the Service.

• When the changes to these Terms are in the general interest of the users.
• When the changes to these Terms do not contradict the purpose of the service usage agreement, and are reasonable in light of the necessity of the change, the appropriateness of the revised content, and other relevant circumstances.

We will notify users in advance of any such changes, including the intent to revise the Terms, the content of the revised Terms, and the effective date of the changes.

We will handle personal information obtained through the use of this service appropriately in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Notices or communications between the user and us shall be conducted in a manner specified by us.
Unless the user notifies us of a change in the contact details in a manner separately designated by us, we will consider the currently registered contact information to be valid and send notices or communications to that address. Such notices or communications shall be deemed to have reached the user at the time of dispatch.

Users may not transfer or provide as collateral their position under the usage agreement or any rights or obligations under these Terms to a third party without our prior written consent.

The interpretation of these Terms shall be governed by the laws of Japan.
In the event of a dispute related to this service, the court with jurisdiction over the location of our head office shall have exclusive agreed jurisdiction.
