Quit Smoking for Android — Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (hereinafter these "Terms") set forth the conditions governing the use of the application Quit Smoking (hereinafter the "Application") provided by Shosin Labs, an independent software studio (hereinafter the "Developer"). By installing or using the Application, the User shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms. Any person who does not accept these Terms shall not use the Application.
Article 1 (Definitions)
In these Terms, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
- (a) "User" means any person who installs or uses the Application;
- (b) "User Content" means the quit date, cravings, relapses, notes, goals and other records entered by the User into the Application; and
- (c) "Store" means the application distribution service through which the User obtained the Application.
Article 2 (No Medical Advice)
The Application is a tracker and a set of coping tools. The Application is not a medical device or a treatment, and does not constitute a substitute for professional care. No information displayed by the Application, including any health-recovery milestone, savings figure or suggestion for coping with cravings, constitutes a diagnosis, a prescription or any assurance concerning the body of the User.
The health-recovery information contained in the Application is a simplified and generic timeline derived from published public-health materials. Such information describes a typical case and not the individual circumstances of the User, and does not take into account the medical history or medication of the User or any other factor that a clinician would consider.
The User should consult a physician, a pharmacist or a smoking cessation service with respect to quitting smoking, in particular where the User is pregnant, is receiving treatment for any medical condition, or is using nicotine replacement therapy or any other smoking cessation medicine. Where the User feels unwell, the User should seek medical assistance rather than consult the Application.
Article 3 (Grant of Licence)
The Developer grants to the User a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the Application on devices owned or controlled by the User, for the User's own purposes. The Application is licensed, not sold, and the Developer reserves all rights in the Application that are not expressly granted to the User under these Terms.
In the case of the Android version, the licence granted under this Article is further subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, which govern the Store through which the Application is distributed.
Article 4 (User Content)
All rights in User Content belong to the User. The Developer claims no rights in User Content and, as set forth in the Privacy Policy, does not hold User Content.
In the Android version, as the Developer does not hold User Content, the Developer is unable to restore it. The Android system backup may restore User Content on a new device; any such restoration is performed by the User's Google account and not by the Developer.
Article 5 (Prohibited Acts)
The User shall not engage in any of the following acts:
- (a) copying, redistributing, reselling or renting the Application, or presenting the Application as the User's own;
- (b) decompiling or reverse engineering the Application, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits such acts notwithstanding a contractual provision to the contrary;
- (c) using the Application in violation of any law, or in a manner that interferes with the services to which the Application connects; or
- (d) obtaining, or attempting to obtain, any paid feature of the Application without payment therefor.
Article 6 (No Purchases in the Android Version)
The Android version of the Application is provided free of charge and contains no in-app purchase and no subscription. Nothing is offered for sale, and the Application contains no billing code.
Article 7 (Modification and Discontinuation of the Application)
The Application is under continuous development, and the Developer may add, modify or withdraw any feature thereof; a future version may require a more recent version of the operating system. The Developer may discontinue the distribution of the Application in its entirety. A copy of the Application already installed shall remain usable for so long as the device of the User and the Store permit; provided, however, that the Developer gives no assurance that any particular feature will remain available indefinitely.
Article 8 (Disclaimer of Warranties)
The Application is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer makes no warranty with respect to the Application, including without limitation any warranty that the Application will operate without interruption or error or that it is fit for a particular purpose, and the Developer does not warrant that any reminder will be delivered, that any statistic is accurate, or that the use of the Application will assist the User in ceasing to smoke. Where the laws of the country of the User do not permit such exclusions, this Article shall apply only to the extent so permitted.
Article 9 (Limitation of Liability)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or loss of data arising from the use of the Application by the User, or for any decision concerning the health of the User made in reliance upon any information displayed by the Application. The aggregate liability of the Developer for any claim in connection with the Application shall be limited to the amount paid by the User to the Developer for the Application during the twelve (12) months preceding such claim, which, in the case of the version provided free of charge, is nil.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall limit any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence and liability for fraud.
Article 10 (Google Play)
Google is not a party to these Terms, which are concluded solely between the User and the Developer, and Google is not responsible for the Application. The use of Google Play by the User is governed by the Google Play Terms of Service, and any matter concerning the Store itself shall be a matter for Google.
Article 11 (Termination)
The User may terminate the agreement constituted by these Terms at any time by deleting the Application. The Developer may terminate such agreement in the event of a material breach of these Terms by the User. Those provisions which by their nature are intended to survive termination, including the disclaimer of warranties, the limitation of liability and the Article entitled "No Medical Advice", shall survive any such termination.
Article 12 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, and the Tokyo District Court shall be the court of first instance for any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the User uses the Application as a consumer, nothing in this Article shall deprive the User of the protection afforded by the mandatory consumer protection laws of the country in which the User resides, or of any right of the User to bring proceedings in such forum as those laws may permit.
Article 13 (Amendment of these Terms)
In the event that the Developer amends these Terms, the Developer shall revise the date of last update indicated at the top of this page, and shall give notice of any material amendment within the Application or on this website before such amendment takes effect. The continued use of the Application by the User thereafter shall constitute acceptance of the amended Terms; a User who does not accept the amended Terms shall delete the Application.
