Last updated: July 20, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the relationship between MRCY ("Developer") and users ("User") regarding the use of the iOS application "Chuju Tore" ("App"). By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

Article 1 (Application)

These Terms apply to all aspects of the relationship between the User and the Developer concerning use of the App. The Developer may establish additional rules ("Individual Rules"), which form part of these Terms. In the event of any conflict, Individual Rules take precedence unless otherwise specified.

Article 2 (Fees and Payment)

Some features of the App are available free of charge. More advanced features ("Paid Features") are offered as an auto-renewing subscription (In-App Purchase) provided through Apple Inc.

  1. The price, billing period, and auto-renewal terms of the Paid Features follow the details shown on the in-app purchase screen and on the App Store. Payment is charged to the payment method associated with your Apple ID upon confirmation of purchase.
  2. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period, and the same amount (or the amount notified in advance) is charged upon each renewal. The renewal fee is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current billing period.
  3. You can review, manage, and turn off auto-renewal (cancel) at any time after purchase from your App Store account settings. If you cancel mid-period, you may continue to use the Paid Features until the end of that billing period.
  4. Where a free trial is offered, it automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless canceled during the trial. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.
