Terms of Use

Terms of Service

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the conditions under which FS!QR ("the Service") is provided and set out the rights and obligations between users ("User") and the operator. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. These Terms also apply to use by companies and organizations.

Article 1 (Scope of Application)

These Terms apply to all matters relating to the use of the Service. Individual rules and guidelines posted by the operator on the Service from time to time (Privacy Policy) form part of these Terms.

Article 2 (Definitions)

The terms used in these Terms are defined as follows.

  • "The Service" means the suite of features provided by the operator under the name "FS!QR," including file sharing, QR code generation, group sharing, and note sharing.
  • "User" means any person who uses the Service, whether an individual, corporation, or organization.
  • "Content" means any files, text, or other information that a User uploads, posts, or transmits through the Service.

Article 3 (Nature of the Service and Free Provision)

The Service is a free service designed for the temporary sharing of files and text. It is currently provided to Users free of charge, with no usage fees.

Users acknowledge that the Service is not intended for permanent storage and agree to maintain their own backups of any important data.

Article 4 (User Responsibility)

Users shall use the Service at their own risk and are solely responsible for all actions taken through the Service and their consequences.

Users are responsible for managing any IDs or passwords they set for sharing purposes. The operator is not liable for any unauthorized use by third parties.

When sharing a URL, ID, or password with a third party, users must verify the recipient, the scope of sharing, and the retention period, and delete or terminate the share once it is no longer needed.

Article 5 (Prohibited Conduct)

Users must not engage in any of the following when using the Service.

  • Acts that violate laws, regulations, or public policy
  • Acts related to or facilitating criminal activity
  • Acts that infringe third-party intellectual property, likeness, privacy, reputation, or other rights or interests
  • Transmitting content that contains malware, computer viruses, or other harmful programs
  • Placing an excessive load on the Service's servers or network, unauthorized access, or any act that interferes with the Service's operation
  • Transmitting content that is illegal, violent, obscene, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate
  • Impersonating the operator or any third party
  • Any other act the operator reasonably deems inappropriate

Article 6 (Handling of Content and Automatic Deletion)

Uploaded content is automatically deleted after the specified retention period. Files uploaded via FS!QR's QR code sharing feature are encrypted with AES-256 in the user's browser before being stored on the server. Group room and note room content is stored on the server without encryption. All communications are encrypted over HTTPS. For details on data handling, see the Privacy Policy.

The operator is under no obligation to restore automatically deleted content and makes no warranties regarding the integrity, availability, or permanence of any stored content.

If the operator reasonably determines that content may be illegal, infringing, a security risk, or abusive, the operator may delete or restrict access to such content or rooms without prior notice.

Article 7 (Intellectual Property Rights)

Copyrights and other intellectual property rights in content submitted by Users through the Service remain with the User or the legitimate rights holder. The operator may use such content only to the extent necessary to provide, operate, and improve the Service.

Intellectual property rights in the Service itself (including programs, designs, and trademarks) belong to the operator or the legitimate rights holder.

Article 8 (Suspension, Modification, and Termination of the Service)

The operator may suspend, modify, or terminate all or part of the Service without prior notice to Users in any of the following circumstances.

  • When performing maintenance, inspection, or updates to the Service's systems
  • When providing the Service becomes difficult due to force majeure events such as fire, power outage, or natural disaster
  • In other cases where the operator reasonably determines that suspension, modification, or termination is necessary

The operator shall bear no liability for any damages incurred by Users as a result of measures taken under this Article.

Article 9 (Disclaimer and No Warranties)

The Service is provided "as is." The operator makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Service's fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, completeness, accuracy, usefulness, continuity, availability, security, uptime (SLA), or any other matter.

The operator shall not be liable for any damages suffered by Users arising from the use of or inability to use the Service, including loss or corruption of data.

Article 10 (Limitation of Liability)

Except in cases of the operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence, the operator shall not be liable for any damages incurred by Users in connection with the Service.

Even where the operator is legally liable, the scope of recoverable damages is limited to direct and ordinary losses actually incurred. The operator shall not be liable for special, consequential, or indirect damages or lost profits. As the Service is provided free of charge, the maximum amount of compensation owed by the operator to any User is zero yen.

Article 11 (Use by Companies and Organizations)

If a User belonging to a company, group, or other organization uses the Service for business purposes, that User represents and warrants that they have the authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of the organization.

When using the Service within an organization, the User and the organization are responsible for complying with the organization's information management policies, security policies, and applicable laws. As the Service is provided free of charge and without warranties, please note that uptime (SLA) and data recovery are not guaranteed, and handle highly sensitive or critical data in accordance with your organization's own standards.

Article 12 (Changes to These Terms)

The operator may update these Terms at any time without prior notice if deemed necessary. Updated Terms take effect when posted on the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Article 13 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by Japanese law. Any disputes arising between a User and the operator in connection with the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance.
