Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Bokuju, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the app.

2. Description of Service

Bokuju is a mobile application that allows you to photograph wildlife and transform them into collectible cards featuring AI-generated sumi-e (Japanese ink painting) artwork. Features include card collection, cross-breeding, leveling, and real-time multiplayer battles.

3. User Accounts

• You must provide accurate information when creating an account
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account
• You must be at least 13 years old to use Bokuju
• One account per person; do not share account credentials
• You may delete your account at any time through the app settings

4. Daku Credits

Daku is Bokuju's in-app virtual currency used for capturing creatures, cross-breeding, and other features.

• New accounts receive a small number of free starter credits
• Additional credits can be purchased through the app
• All purchases are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or app store policies
• Daku credits have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash
• Credits are non-transferable between accounts
• We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time
• Unused credits may be forfeited upon account termination for violations of these terms

5. User Content & Photos

You retain ownership of photos you take. By using Bokuju, you grant us a limited license to:

• Process your photos through AI to identify creatures
• Generate and store card artwork based on your photos
• Display your cards in public galleries or battles (if you choose to participate)

You represent that you have the right to photograph subjects you capture and that your content does not violate any laws or third-party rights.

6. AI-Generated Content

Bokuju uses artificial intelligence to identify creatures and generate card artwork, names, descriptions, and battle moves. You acknowledge that:

• AI identification may not always be accurate; results are for entertainment purposes
• Generated artwork and text are unique creations based on your photos
• We do not guarantee any specific outcome from AI generation
• Artwork may contain stylistic variations, anatomical inaccuracies, or unexpected interpretations - this is inherent to AI art generation
• AI-generated content should not be relied upon for scientific or educational identification

Refund policy: Credits are only refunded when there is a technical failure in the generation process (e.g., the system fails to produce any result). Dissatisfaction with the visual style, accuracy, or artistic interpretation of successfully generated content does not qualify for a refund. Each generation is unique and non-reproducible.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload photos of humans, offensive content, or copyrighted material
• Submit drawings, screenshots, or non-photographic images as captures
• Attempt to exploit bugs, glitches, or manipulate game systems
• Use automated tools, bots, scripts, or modified clients
• Harass other users or engage in abusive behavior in battles
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
• Create multiple accounts to abuse free credits or promotions
• Sell, trade, or transfer accounts or in-app items for real money

8. Multiplayer Features

Bokuju offers real-time multiplayer battles. You are responsible for your conduct during battles. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in unsportsmanlike behavior, cheating, or harassment. Battle results are final and cannot be disputed.

9. Service Availability

We strive to keep Bokuju available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We may also impose rate limits on certain features to ensure fair usage and system stability.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Upon termination, you lose access to your account, cards, and any purchased Daku credits. You may also terminate your account at any time through the app settings.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Bokuju is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that AI-generated content will be accurate or suitable for any particular purpose.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of Bokuju, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of credits, or inability to access the service.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes via the app or email. Continued use of Bokuju after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. If you do not agree to updated terms, you should stop using the app.

14. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Bokuju shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation or, if necessary, binding arbitration.
