Effective: November 10, 2026

日本語

This English translation is provided for convenience only. In the event of any discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails.

These Terms of Use (these "Terms") set out the conditions for using the mobile application "Scorelio" (the "App") provided by Ishinomaru (石ノ丸, a sole proprietorship trade name; "we", "us" or "our"). You must agree to these Terms in order to use the App.

Article 1 (Application)

  1. These Terms apply between us and every person who uses the App (a "User" or "you").
  2. By using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.
  3. Any separate rules concerning the App that we set out within the App or on our website form part of these Terms.

Article 2 (License)

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use the App on devices that you own or control.

Article 3 (Scorelio Pro)

  1. Certain features of the App ("Pro Features") are available through the in-app purchase "Scorelio Pro" ("Pro"). Pro is a one-time purchase and does not involve recurring charges.
  2. Purchases of, payments for and refunds of Pro are handled through Apple Inc.'s App Store or Google LLC's Google Play (each a "Store") and are governed by the terms of the relevant Store. Except where we are liable under applicable law, we do not directly accept cancellations of purchases or refund requests.
  3. Pro is valid when you use the App with the Apple ID or Google account used for the purchase. When you change devices or in similar cases, you can restore Pro using "Restore purchases" in the App.
  4. Pro Features made available through "Watch an ad to use" remain valid only while the score concerned is open.
  5. If you are a minor, please obtain the consent of a parent or other legal guardian before purchasing Pro.
  6. For details of the terms of sale, please see the Specified Commercial Transactions Act disclosure (Japanese).

Article 4 (Content Handled by Users)

  1. Rights in the score files you open in the App, the SoundFonts and other files you import into it, and the annotations you add to scores (collectively, "User Content") belong to you or to the legitimate rights holders. We do not acquire any rights in User Content.
  2. You warrant that you hold the rights necessary to use User Content with the App.
  3. If you publish, distribute, sell or otherwise use scores, audio or video exported from the App ("Output"), you may need permission from the rights holders of the original music, scores or recordings. You are responsible for clearing any rights required to use Output.
  4. We assert no rights in the portions of Output generated by the App (such as score engraving and audio performed with the App's sound sources). However, portions that include materials subject to third-party licenses, such as SoundFonts and fonts, are governed by those licenses.

Article 5 (Prohibited Conduct)

When using the App, you must not:

  1. violate any law or regulation or public order and morals;
  2. infringe the copyrights, neighboring rights, trademark rights, portrait rights, privacy or other rights or interests of any third party;
  3. circumvent the App's purchase verification, ad display or other mechanisms by improper means;
  4. modify, redistribute, sell or lend the App, or decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer it beyond the extent permitted by law;
  5. interfere with the operation of the App or of any third-party service used by the App; or
  6. engage in any other conduct that we reasonably determine to be inappropriate.

Article 6 (Intellectual Property)

  1. Copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the App belong to us or to the legitimate rights holders. The license in Article 2 does not transfer any of these rights.
  2. Open-source software and fonts included in the App, and SoundFonts bundled with the App or downloaded from within the App, are provided under their respective licenses. Where those licenses differ from these Terms, the licenses prevail.

Article 7 (Advertising and Third-Party Services)

  1. The App displays ads served through Google LLC's advertising services. The respective providers are responsible for the content of the ads and for any services you reach from the ads.
  2. The handling of information in the App is set out in the Privacy Policy.

Article 8 (Changes, Suspension and Discontinuation of the App)

  1. We may change the content of the App or add or remove features without prior notice to you. However, we will not remove Pro Features you have purchased unless unavoidable circumstances arise, such as the termination of a third-party license or changes to the specifications of an operating system or a Store. If we must remove them, we will give notice within the App or on our website in advance where possible (or promptly where advance notice is not possible), and we will bear any liability imposed by law.
  2. We may discontinue distribution of the App on a Store or discontinue providing the App. In that case, we will give notice within the App or on our website in advance where possible. After discontinuation, you may continue to use the App already installed on your device and the Pro Features you have purchased, to the extent the specifications of the operating system and the Stores allow.

Article 9 (Disclaimer of Warranties)

We do not warrant that the App will be fit for your particular purpose, that it will correctly display and play back every score file, that it will be free from defects, or that it will run on every device. However, this Article does not exempt us from any liability we bear under applicable law where Pro Features do not work as described in the App or in the Store.

Article 10 (Limitation of Liability)

  1. We are not liable for any damage you suffer through your use of the App, except where it results from our willful misconduct or gross negligence.
  2. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, where the contract between you and us is a consumer contract under the Consumer Contract Act of Japan, we will compensate you for damage caused by our breach of obligations or tort. However, where the damage results only from our ordinary (non-gross) negligence, compensation is limited to the direct damage that would ordinarily arise, up to the greater of the amount you paid in connection with the App during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the damage occurred, or JPY 1,000.
  3. To guard against loss of or damage to User Content and Output, please keep your own copies of the original files. Annotations on scores are stored within the App, so they may be lost if your device fails or the App is deleted, for example when the operating system's backup feature is turned off.

Article 11 (If You Obtained the App from the App Store)

If you obtained the App from the App Store, the following applies.

  1. These Terms are concluded between you and us, and Apple Inc. is not a party to them. We, not Apple Inc., are responsible for the App and its content.
  2. In addition to these Terms, your use of the App is subject to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement and the App Store terms (the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions). When using the App, you must comply with any applicable third-party terms, such as those of your wireless carrier.
  3. Apple Inc. has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any warranty, you may notify Apple Inc., and Apple Inc. may refund the purchase price to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple Inc. has no other warranty obligation.
  4. We, not Apple Inc., are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App (including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection laws) and any claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
  5. Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, they have the right to enforce these Terms against you.
  6. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Article 12 (Changes to These Terms)

  1. We may change these Terms in accordance with Article 548-4 of the Civil Code of Japan.
  2. When we change these Terms, we will announce the changed content and its effective date on this page a reasonable period before the effective date. If the change is material, we will also give notice within the App.
  3. If you use the App on or after the effective date, you are deemed to have agreed to the changed Terms.

Article 13 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

  1. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.
  2. Any dispute between us and you concerning the App will be resolved by a court having jurisdiction under applicable law.
