Terms of Service
AppBoost is operated from Japan under Japanese law. The Japanese version of these terms is the authoritative reference; this English version is provided for convenience.
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the conditions on which AlphaByte Inc. (the “Company”) provides AppBoost (appboost.now, the “Service”). By using the Service, every user (a “User”) agrees to these Terms.
1. Definitions
- “Service” means AppBoost (appboost.now, its related subdomains, API, and MCP server) operated by the Company.
- “User” means any individual or legal entity that uses the Service.
- “Member” means a User who has agreed to these Terms and completed account registration.
- “Content” means any text, image, data, AI-generated output, and other information provided through the Service.
2. Registration
- To register, the User agrees to these Terms and signs up via the method specified by the Company (e.g. magic-link authentication).
- A single person may not create multiple accounts.
- Users under 18 must obtain a guardian’s consent before using the Service.
- The Company may refuse or revoke registration if it determines, in its reasonable judgment, that:
- the applicant has previously violated these Terms;
- the application contains false statements;
- or registration is otherwise inappropriate.
3. Fees and Payment
- Plans, prices, payment methods and billing cycles are as separately published by the Company (see the Commercial Disclosure page).
- Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., the Company’s designated payment processor. Credit-card numbers and other payment details are stored on Stripe’s servers, not on the Company’s servers.
- Billing timing. Monthly plans are charged on the same calendar day each month, anchored on the registration date (or the trial end date). Annual plans are charged once a year on the same basis. Charges are made automatically by Stripe.
- Auto-renewal. Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless the Member cancels.
- Cancellation. Members may cancel at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal accessible from the dashboard Settings page. After cancellation, the Service remains usable until the end of the current billing cycle, after which the account is automatically downgraded to Free.
- Refunds. Monthly plans are non-refundable. Refund conditions for annual plans, and for outages caused by material defects of the Service, are described in the Commercial Disclosure.
- Early-bird discount. Members who subscribe at the Early Bird price keep that price for as long as they do not cancel the subscription. Re-subscribing after cancellation reverts to the standard price.
- Price changes. The Company may change plan pricing in the future. For existing Members, changes are notified at least 30 days in advance via the Service or by email and apply from the next renewal.
- If a Member fails to pay on time, the Company may suspend Service access.
4. Prohibited Acts
Users must not:
- reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service;
- scrape, run automated bots, or otherwise place excessive load on the Company’s servers;
- obtain or use someone else’s API tokens or credentials without authorisation;
- use information obtained through the Service to manipulate the ranking or reviews of third-party apps in bad faith;
- spam, harass, or defame others;
- interfere with the operation of the Service;
- violate applicable law or public order; or
- otherwise behave in a way the Company deems inappropriate.
5. Intellectual Property
- All intellectual-property rights in the Service’s code, UI, design, logo, AI-generated output as a corpus, and related materials belong to the Company or the rightful owners.
- App information and keywords registered by Users may be used by the Company as anonymised statistical data.
- Copyright in metadata, articles, and similar outputs generated by the AI features belongs to the User, but the Company may use them as aggregated analytical data.
6. Changes to and Suspension of the Service
- The Company may change, add to, or discontinue any part of the Service without prior notice to Users.
- Scheduled maintenance is normally announced in advance. Emergency maintenance may proceed without notice.
- Material pricing or feature changes are normally notified at least 30 days in advance.
7. Disclaimers
- Analytical results, estimates, and AI-generated outputs provided by the Service are for reference only. The Company does not guarantee any particular outcome (such as increased downloads or revenue).
- The Company is not responsible for changes in the User’s app downloads, revenue, or ranking.
- The Company is not responsible for Service outages caused by policy or availability changes at Apple, Google, or other third-party APIs.
- The Service is provided “as is”. The Company disclaims all express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
8. Limitation of Liability
- Except in cases of the Company’s intent or gross negligence, the Company’s aggregate liability to a User is capped at the total fees the User paid to the Company for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
- The Company is not liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits.
9. Termination by the Member
- Members may terminate at any time through the procedure specified by the Company.
- After termination, the Company retains the Member’s data for the period set out in the Privacy Policy, after which it is automatically deleted.
10. Suspension by the Company
If the Company determines that a Member has breached these Terms, it may suspend or delete the account without prior notice. The Company is not liable for any damage to the Member resulting from such action.
11. Changes to These Terms
- The Company may amend these Terms when reasonably necessary.
- Amendments are normally notified at least 30 days before they take effect.
- Material amendments such as pricing changes may require renewed consent.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
- These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
- The Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance for any dispute arising in connection with the Service.
