By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you ("user" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the Application.

Critical disclosure
No use while driving. You explicitly agree that you will only use this Application when your vehicle is completely stationary and safely parked in a legal location. Under no circumstances should the driver interact with this Application while operating a moving vehicle.
- Traffic law compliance. Compliance with local traffic laws, road regulations, visible street signs, and safe driving practices remains entirely your responsibility. Distracted driving is highly dangerous and a violation of local laws.
4. MapCode accuracy disclaimer
- Informational purposes only. MapCodes, geographical coordinates, routing indicators, and location data provided by the Application are strictly for general informational purposes.
- No guarantee of accuracy. We do not warrant or guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, safety, or timeliness of any location data or MapCode translations. Real-world conditions (including but not limited to road closures, construction, weather, or localized mapping updates in Japan) may vary significantly from the data displayed in the Application. Always cross-reference and verify coordinates before beginning your drive.
5. Third-party services and infrastructure
- Integrated SDKs. The Application integrates third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) provided by Google LLC, specifically Google AdMob (for displaying advertisements) and Google Firebase (for crash logging and analytics).
- Limitation of control. You acknowledge and agree that these third-party SDKs operate under their own independent terms and privacy policies. We hold no control over, and assume zero liability for, the performance, uptime, data handling practices, transmission speeds, or technical glitches caused natively by Google's external software architecture.
6. Intellectual property
The Application, including its name, logo, icon, design, and code, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to our trademarks.
