Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the use of YOKAI.JP (the “Service”), operated by Glory Lab, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”). You must review and accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy before using the Service.

A binding agreement is formed when you complete the acceptance step shown during account registration. For features that do not require registration, these Terms apply when you begin using the feature.

• Account registration is limited to people aged 13 or older. Children under 13 must not register and may view public content that requires no account only under a parent or guardian’s supervision.
• Keep registration details accurate and current, and protect passwords, verification codes, and signed-in devices.
• You may use email and password or Google sign-in. Email registration requires verification.
• Unless we expressly permit it, one person may not create multiple accounts or transfer or share an account.
• If you notice unauthorized use, promptly change your password and contact us.

The Service principally includes:

• Yokai encyclopedia, places, sources, collections, genealogies, articles, and cards
• Ordinary search and AI or vector-based smart search
• Yokai assessments, aptitude and fortune assessments, YBTI, Maya calendar, and omikuji
• Yokai Shrine visits, offerings, ema, prayers, and guardian yokai
• AI conversations with yokai, continuity, relationships, memories, and sharing links
• Yosen, Spirit Power, Bonds, contracts, achievements, votes, likes, comments, and invitations
• Account pages, search and conversation history, notifications, email preferences, and related functions

Additional conditions, notices, prices, or posting rules displayed for an individual feature also form part of these Terms.

The Service records Yosen, Spirit Power, Bonds, and other units (collectively, “in-service assets”).

• In-service assets may be used only within the Service and are not guaranteed to be legal tender, electronic money, cryptocurrency, or property with real-world monetary value.
• They may not be transferred, sold, redeemed for cash, pledged, or exchanged outside the Service.
• The amount spent, earning requirements, conversion rates, and limits shown in the relevant interface apply.
• If our system confirms a processing failure, we may restore assets automatically or after review under the displayed conditions. User error, dissatisfaction with a result, or retrying after a completed communication may not qualify.
• We may correct balances, cancel transactions, or restrict use when assets were obtained or spent through bugs, multiple accounts, automation, or other abuse.
• Deleting an account also deletes its in-service assets; they cannot be moved or restored to another account.

Before any paid sale of in-service assets begins, we will separately display the price, taxes, use and expiry conditions, cancellation and refund terms, and other required information.

Currently published core features are free. You are responsible for connectivity, devices, and other costs of your environment.

Before offering a paid feature, in-service asset purchase, ad-free option, or other paid service, we will show the price, taxes, payment method, delivery timing, whether charges recur, and cancellation and refund conditions before you confirm the order.

The Service uses AI for yokai conversations, summaries and memories, smart search, and assessment text. Your input and necessary context may be processed by one or more external AI providers selected dynamically by feature, language, quality, availability, and safety. See the Privacy Policy for details.

• AI replies are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, current, appropriate, or fit for a particular purpose.
• Smart-search results show relevance to content; they are not a definitive answer to your question or confirmation of a fact.
• AI conversations are ordinarily private from other users, but are stored for continuity. Authorized administrators may review them only for support, safety, incidents, quality, and cost management.
• If an AI conversation, smart search, or assessment spends Spirit Power or another unit, the amount is displayed before execution or in the feature explanation.
• Do not enter personal, confidential, medical, financial, identity-document, or other information unnecessary for processing.
• Do not make medical, legal, financial, safety, or other important decisions based only on AI output.

User content includes display names, profiles, ema, comments, feedback, shared assessments or fortunes, shared conversations, uploaded images, and other content you enter or publish.

• You are responsible for having the rights needed to post and for complying with law, these Terms, third-party rights, and public order and morals.
• Rights in user content ordinarily remain with you or the lawful rights holder.
• You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, transmit, display, transform format, moderate, back up, and otherwise use the content as needed to provide, improve, and promote the Service. After deletion, the license ends except for the ordinary cache and backup refresh period.
• We may hide, delete, or limit content reasonably considered unlawful, infringing, spam, dangerous, discriminatory, obscene, improperly revealing personal data, or otherwise inappropriate.
• Check visibility yourself. Content described as public in defaults or the posting interface may be viewed by others.

A yokai conversation is not public to other users unless you choose to share it. Sharing creates a snapshot containing the selected messages, display name, avatar, yokai name, relationship value, and related information on a page accessible to anyone who knows the URL.

The page is marked noindex for search engines but is not access-controlled or secret. Confirm it contains no personal or unwanted information before sharing. You may revoke it, but we cannot retrieve copies already saved by another person.

You must not:

• Violate law, public order, these Terms, or third-party rights
• Harass, threaten, discriminate against, impersonate, or improperly disclose personal information about another person
• Transmit spam, false information, malware, or other harmful material
• Gain unauthorized access, bypass authentication, exploit vulnerabilities, impose excessive load, or disrupt the Service
• Use unauthorized scraping, bots, automated actions, decompilation, or model extraction
• Use multiple accounts, bugs, or automation to obtain in-service assets, votes, or invitation benefits improperly
• Intentionally bypass AI safeguards to generate or distribute illegal or dangerous output
• Unfairly harm the operations or reputation of us, users, or external providers
• Engage in conduct equivalent to the above

When there is a Terms violation, security risk, abuse, lawful third-party complaint, or legal request, we may weigh necessity and impact and hide or delete content, restrict features, correct balances, or suspend or delete an account. Except in emergencies, we will explain the reason or appeal method where practicable.

You may challenge a decision through the contact form. We may be unable to disclose details for legal, investigative, or security reasons.

You may delete your account in Settings. Account data, conversations, memories, searches, public content, in-service assets, and other account-related data are generally deleted and cannot be restored.

An irreversible email fingerprint used to prevent repeated sign-up rewards, anonymized invitation results, and records reasonably needed for law, security, disputes, or support may remain as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may change, suspend, or end all or part of the Service for maintenance, failures, security, law, an external-service outage, force majeure, or business needs.

Except in emergencies, we will endeavor to give reasonable advance notice in the Service or by email of a change or termination likely to cause material disadvantage. If paid services are introduced, their termination and balances will be governed by the purchase conditions then displayed and applicable law.

Rights in the yokai encyclopedia, articles, designs, images, software, trademarks, and other content supplied by us or third parties belong to us or their lawful owners. You may not reproduce, republish, redistribute, sell, or modify them without permission beyond private use or another use allowed by law.

Rights in text you enter into AI remain with the original rights holder. We allow you to use AI output personally and non-exclusively under these Terms, but do not guarantee that the output is copyrightable, unique, or free of third-party rights.

Assessments, fortunes, omikuji, Maya-calendar features, and yokai conversations are cultural and entertainment experiences and prompts for self-reflection. They are not scientific determinations or medical, psychological, legal, financial, religious, or other professional advice.

We work to verify and improve encyclopedia and article sources, but traditions have competing versions and we do not guarantee completeness or currency. Consult primary sources or qualified professionals for important decisions.

We make reasonable efforts to operate the Service reliably and maintain information quality, but do not warrant uninterrupted availability, the absence of errors or security issues, or that content or AI output is accurate, complete, current, or fit for a particular purpose.

Where liability is recognized by law, except for our intentional misconduct or gross negligence and liability that cannot legally be limited, we are liable only for direct and ordinary losses actually incurred. Total liability for paid services is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event; for free services it is capped at the equivalent of JPY 10,000.

Where mandatory consumer or other law prevents all or part of this limitation, that law prevails to that extent.

We handle information obtained through the Service under the Privacy Policy. Review it for visibility settings, AI processing, conversation sharing, and transfers to external providers.

We send or display notices needed to perform the agreement, such as verification codes, security alerts, material service changes, and policy revisions, to your registered address or within the Service. Keep your contact details and preferred language current.

You can stop promotional messages about new features, editorials, and campaigns in Settings or through an email link. Processing an unsubscribe request may take a reasonable time.

We may change these Terms when reasonably necessary because of changes in law, features, or operations. We will publish the effective date and changes here after considering their substance, necessity, and effect on users.

For changes materially affecting rights or duties, we will give reasonable advance notice in the Service or by email. If law requires new consent, we will obtain it.

• You may not assign your status, rights, or duties under the agreement without our prior consent.
• If part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
• A delay in exercising a right does not waive that right.

These Terms are governed by Delaware law, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Unless applicable law mandates another forum, the state and federal courts located in Delaware have agreed first-instance jurisdiction over disputes relating to the Service.

This clause does not limit mandatory consumer rights or access to a court available under the law where you live. If a dispute arises, we will first try to resolve it through the contact form.
