Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory rights or protections that cannot be waived under applicable law.
Additional Terms for Kiroku Pro
These additional terms apply when you subscribe to a paid Kiroku plan offered by KUULOA LLC. They supplement the main Terms of Service. If there is a conflict between this section and a separate enterprise agreement, the separate written agreement controls for that customer.
1. Scope of the paid plan
Kiroku Pro is a paid subscription for account-based features such as private archives, URL monitoring, evidence-pack workflows, saved archive history, billing management, and related administrative tools.
The exact feature set, supported workflows, and available limits can change over time. The pricing page, purchase screen, and product UI shown at the time of purchase describe the plan then in effect.
2. Billing, renewal, and taxes
- Unless another billing period is shown at checkout, Pro is billed monthly and renews automatically until canceled.
- Japanese checkout is intended to use JPY pricing and English checkout is intended to use USD pricing. The final billing currency and amount are the amounts shown on the checkout screen before purchase is confirmed.
- Charges are processed by Stripe or another payment processor shown during checkout. You authorize recurring charges for each renewal period until cancellation takes effect.
- Any applicable taxes, fees, or required charges that we collect are shown before the order is finalized.
3. Cancellation and refunds
- You can cancel renewal at any time from the billing portal or by contacting us through the support channel we designate.
- When you cancel, the subscription remains available through the end of the already-paid billing period unless we state otherwise at the time of cancellation.
- Except where required by law, we do not provide prorated refunds or partial refunds for unused time.
- We may issue refunds or credits at our discretion in limited situations such as duplicate billing, unauthorized charges, or a material service-side billing error.
4. Fair use and service protection
- Pro is designed for ordinary professional or individual use. It is not a promise of physically unlimited, unrestricted, or abuse-tolerant usage.
- To protect service stability, security, and other users, we may apply rate limits, concurrency limits, queueing, storage protections, or similar technical controls.
- We may review or restrict usage patterns that are unusually heavy or risky, including very high-frequency monitoring, short-window bulk saving, excessive automation, credential sharing, resale, or attempts to bypass controls.
- Where appropriate, we may ask you to adjust configuration, reduce load, or move to a custom plan better suited to your usage pattern.
5. Changes, suspension, and termination
- We may change pricing, plan contents, or feature availability with reasonable prior notice. Unless law requires otherwise, changes take effect from the next renewal period.
- We may suspend, limit, or terminate Pro access if payment fails, if your use violates these Terms or the Fair Use Policy, or if continued service would create security, legal, or operational risk.
- If a feature is changed or discontinued, we may offer a reasonably similar workflow, a transition period, or another remedy that fits the situation, but we are not required to preserve every feature indefinitely.
