Terms of Service

Last updated: October 18, 2026

Article 1 (Application)

These Terms set out the conditions for using the Listory iOS application (the "Service") provided by Hironari Takahashi ("we," "us," or "our"). Users use the Service after agreeing to these Terms. When a user indicates their agreement to these Terms at account registration, an agreement for use of the Service on the terms set out here is formed between that user and us.

Article 1-2 (App Distributed Through the App Store)

  1. The App is distributed through Apple Inc.'s App Store. The license to use the App is governed by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA"), and these Terms set out the conditions for using the Service in addition to it. If the two conflict with respect to the license to use the App, the Apple Standard EULA prevails.
  2. These Terms are concluded between users and us, and Apple is not a party to them. We, not Apple, are responsible for the content, maintenance, and support of the Service.

Article 2 (Accounts)

  1. An account must be registered with an Apple or Google account to use the Service.
  2. Persons under 13 years of age may not use the Service.
  3. Persons under 18 years of age must obtain the consent of a parent or other legal guardian before using the Service (including purchasing Listory+). A user who begins using the Service with the consent of their legal guardian is deemed to have also agreed to these Terms.
  4. Please provide accurate registration information.
  5. Members of organized crime groups or other antisocial forces, and persons who have close relationships with antisocial forces, may not use the Service.
  6. Users are responsible for managing their accounts. Actions taken through an account will be treated as actions of the user of that account.
  7. A user may not create multiple accounts for an improper purpose.
  8. A person whose use of the Service we have suspended, or whose account we have deleted, for violating these Terms may not register a new account without our consent.

Article 3 (Prohibited Conduct)

The following conduct is prohibited when using the Service.

  1. Conduct that violates laws, regulations, or public order and morals
  2. Conduct related to or encouraging criminal activity
  3. Conduct that infringes another person's copyrights, trademarks, portrait rights, privacy, reputation, or other rights or interests (including the unauthorized posting of songs, images, or audio for which the user does not hold the necessary rights)
  4. Posting third-party works such as lyrics or articles beyond the scope of quotation permitted under copyright law (including reproducing all or most of a song's lyrics)
  5. Defamation, threats, harassment, discriminatory expression, or bullying directed at others
  6. Posting content that is obscene or excessively violent, incites violence or terrorism, or encourages suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders
  7. Impersonating others or spreading false information
  8. Spam, unrelated advertising or solicitation, or repeated posting of identical or similar content
  9. Interfering with operation of the Service, unauthorized access, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or sending or introducing viruses or other harmful programs
  10. Large-scale collection of information from the Service by automated or other means (scraping), or access that places an excessive load on the Service
  11. Modification or reverse engineering of the Service, or creation of unofficial clients
  12. Posting information that can identify an individual, such as another person's address, phone number, workplace, or school, without that person's consent
  13. Using the Service mainly to meet or date people of the opposite sex whom you do not know, or making inappropriate contact with minors
  14. Transferring, lending, or selling an account (including a username), or data obtained from the Service, to a third party
  15. Circumventing, or attempting to circumvent, measures that restrict access to the Service or its features, such as blocking, suspension, or age-based restrictions (including creating another account to evade a restriction)
  16. Providing benefits to or otherwise cooperating with antisocial forces
  17. Content that constitutes the sexual exploitation or abuse of children, content that sexualizes minors, or solicitation of sexual acts
  18. Fraud, tricking people out of money or personal information, or solicitation for pyramid schemes or investments
  19. Reselling tickets above face value or soliciting or brokering such resales, or buying, selling, or soliciting transactions in goods or services prohibited or restricted by law (such as drugs or weapons)
  20. Any other conduct similar to the items above that we determine, on reasonable grounds, to be inappropriate

Article 4 (User Posts)

  1. Rights in posted content belong to the user who posted it, and we do not claim ownership of that content.
  2. Users grant us (including those to whom we outsource operation of the Service), free of charge, permission to use their posted content (including reproduction, display, transmission, and modification), in accordance with the user's settings such as visibility, to the extent necessary to provide, display, and improve the Service (including investigating problems and testing features). Users will not exercise their moral rights as authors with respect to use within this scope.
  3. Users represent and warrant that they hold the rights necessary for the content they post and that the content does not infringe the rights of third parties.
  4. We may hide or delete, without prior notice, content that violates or may violate these Terms and content whose removal is permitted or required by law.
  5. When text such as posts, comments, live event records, Moments, messages, posts in rooms, prompts, and Companion Talk is sent, we automatically check whether it contains words or phrases that constitute prohibited conduct under Article 3, an excessive number of links, or excessive repetition of the same character, and if it does, the text is not accepted. This check is automated, and our staff do not read the content before it is sent. Users consent to the Service processing text for this check.
  6. When a live event record is shared with Companions, the shared items (the date, title, performers, venue, door and start times, setlist, ticket price, and whether the event is planned or attended) can be edited by all members of the group and are reflected in each member's live event record. Even if a user leaves the group or deletes their account, the content reflected in other members' live event records remains. The visibility within a group is shared by the group and is decided by the owner (the user who created the group). The owner can remove other members from the group.
  7. The permission in Paragraph 2 ends when the user deletes the content, except for the time needed to process the deletion and erase it from backups, content reflected in other members' live event records under Paragraph 6, and the extent necessary for responses under Articles 5 and 8 or for retention required by law.
  8. If we determine on reasonable grounds that it is necessary, such as when a username or display name infringes the rights of others or impersonates someone else, we may ask the user to change it or change it ourselves.

Article 5 (Reporting and Blocking)

  1. Users may report inappropriate content or users through features in the Service. Users may also block a particular user to limit contact, or mute a user to see less of them. Messages in Companion Talk cannot be reported through features in the Service, so please report or block the sender, or submit a notice to the contact address in Article 13.
  2. We review reports and, when we determine it necessary, may hide or delete content, suspend the relevant user, delete the relevant account, or take other measures.
  3. Repeatedly submitting false or abusive reports is prohibited.
  4. We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive behavior toward other users. We aim to review reports, in principle, within 24 hours of receiving them.

Article 5-2 (Messages and Companion Talk)

  1. Messages is a feature that lets users, neither of whom has blocked the other, send and receive one-to-one text, songs, and stickers.
  2. If the recipient does not follow the sender, the message is delivered as a message request until the recipient accepts it. Until then, the sender can send only one text message (songs, stickers, and links cannot be sent). The number of message requests that can be sent is limited. Recipients can choose not to receive message requests.
  3. Users under 18 can exchange messages only with people they follow. Users cannot turn off this restriction themselves.
  4. As described in Article 4, Paragraph 5, we automatically check whether a message being sent contains words or phrases that constitute prohibited conduct under Article 3, and if it does, the message is not sent.
  5. We review the text of a message only if the user who received it reports it, and only to respond in accordance with Article 5. Users consent to our reviewing messages they have reported.
  6. Users may delete messages they have sent. If a user deletes their account, the message exchanges that user participated in are deleted, including the other user's history.
  7. Companion Talk is a feature that lets members of a group of Companions who write a live event record together send text to one another, and only members of the group can read it. When text is sent, the check under Article 4, Paragraph 5 is performed, as with messages.
  8. We review the text of Companion Talk only if a member submits a notice about it to the contact address in Article 13, and only to the extent necessary to respond in accordance with Article 5. Users consent to our reviewing Companion Talk that they have submitted a notice about.
  9. Text in Companion Talk remains in the group even after the sender leaves the group, and is deleted along with the group when all members have left. Users cannot delete individual Companion Talk messages they have sent. If a user deletes their account, the text that user sent is deleted.
  10. Except where required by law, we do not disclose the text of messages or Companion Talk to third parties.

Article 5-3 (Notices of Infringement)

  1. A person who believes that content on the Service infringes their copyright or other rights (including an agent acting on their behalf; the "Notifier") may submit a notice to [email protected] that includes the following:
    1. The Notifier's name or company name and contact information (such as an email address)
    2. The right believed to be infringed (such as the title of the work and the type of right)
    3. Information that identifies the content concerned (such as its URL, the poster's username, and the date and time it was posted)
    4. The reasons the Notifier believes the right is infringed
    5. A statement that the Notifier is the holder of the right or their agent and that the information in the notice is true
  2. We will review the notice and, if we determine it necessary in accordance with applicable laws, hide or delete the content concerned or take other measures. We may ask the Notifier for additional information or materials to confirm the notice.
  3. Before or after taking measures, we may notify the poster of the content that a notice was received, of the measures taken, and of a summary of the notice, and may ask for their opinion. We do not disclose the Notifier's name or contact information to the poster unless the Notifier consents or disclosure is required by law.
  4. Measures taken in response to a notice do not constitute a final determination by us of whether an infringement exists. Disputes between the parties are to be resolved between those parties.
  5. Submitting a false notice, or a notice made with knowledge that no right exists, is prohibited. If this causes damage to us or the poster, the Notifier may be liable for that damage.
  6. If a user repeatedly infringes the rights of others, we may restrict features, suspend use, or delete the account in accordance with Article 8.

  1. The Service offers Listory+, an automatically renewing monthly and annual subscription. The price and term shown on the purchase screen (App Store) apply.
  2. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the subscription period, the subscription renews automatically and the payment method linked to the Apple ID is charged.
  3. You can cancel from iOS "Settings" → Apple ID → "Subscriptions" or from "Manage Subscription" in the App. Neither deleting the App nor deleting your account on the Service cancels the subscription.
  4. Payments and refunds are governed by Apple's policies. We cannot issue refunds directly.
  5. We may change or add benefits. If we make a material change that is disadvantageous to users, we will provide advance notice in the App.

When the introductory offer period ends, the subscription renews automatically at the regular price shown on the purchase screen unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of that period.
  7. Listory+ is not available through Family Sharing. Each subscription is linked to only one account, and the same subscription cannot be used with another account.

Article 7 (Intellectual Property Rights)

Intellectual property rights in the programs, designs, logos, text, and other materials included in the Service belong to us or their lawful rights holders. Song information, artwork, stickers, and similar content displayed by the Service are obtained from the services that provide them, and the rights belong to their respective rights holders.

We may freely use any comments or suggestions (feedback) you send us, for purposes such as improving the Service, without any obligation to pay you or to keep the feedback confidential.

  1. Ads may be displayed in the Service. Ads are not displayed while you subscribe to Listory+.
  2. The Service works with, or displays links to, third-party services such as Apple Music, Spotify, Shazam, Klipy, and music news publishers. Your use of these services is subject to each provider's terms. Playing full songs requires your own Apple Music subscription.
  3. We are not responsible for the content of third-party services, interruptions to them, or the content of linked web pages (such as news articles), except where the cause is attributable to us.

Article 8 (Suspension of Use and Account Deletion)

  2. Users may delete their accounts at any time from the settings in the App.
  3. Deleting your account does not cancel your App Store subscription. Please cancel it using the method in Article 6, Paragraph 3 before deleting your account. We do not refund subscription fees for any unused period after account deletion (requests to Apple for refunds are governed by Apple's policies).
  4. If you believe a measure we have taken is mistaken, please contact us at the address in Article 13. We will review it and reconsider the measure if necessary.
  5. Even after an account is deleted or the agreement for use of the Service ends, the proviso to Article 4, Paragraph 7, Article 10, Article 10-2, Article 12, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive remain in effect.

Article 9 (Changes, Interruptions, and Termination of the Service)

  1. We may change the content of the Service or interrupt or terminate its provision.
  2. The Service may be temporarily suspended without notice due to system maintenance, failure, or other unavoidable reasons.

  3. If a user suffers damage due to our failure to perform our obligations or our tort, we are liable only for direct and ordinary damages, except in cases of our willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 10-2 (User Responsibility)

  1. If a user causes damage to us by violating these Terms or by using the Service improperly, the user will compensate us for that damage.
  2. If a third party makes a claim or complaint against us concerning a user's posts or other conduct, the user will resolve it at their own responsibility and expense and bear the costs we incur in responding (including reasonable attorneys' fees), except where the cause is attributable to us.

Article 11 (Changes to These Terms)

  1. We may change these Terms without obtaining the individual consent of users in either of the following cases (Article 548-4 of the Civil Code of Japan):
    1. The change conforms to the general interests of users
    2. The change does not conflict with the purpose of the agreement for use of the Service and is reasonable in light of the necessity of the change, the appropriateness of the revised content, and other circumstances relating to the change
  2. When we change these Terms, we will announce on this page, a reasonable period before the change takes effect, that the Terms will be changed, the revised content, and the date on which the change takes effect. Changes that significantly affect users will also be announced in the App.
