Terms of Service

Last updated: May 14, 2026

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Kiroku (“Kiroku”, “we”, “us”, or the “Service”), including the web application, hosted sync services, browser capture tools, calendar integrations, and related documentation. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

Kiroku is a visual weekly planner for organizing tasks, schedules, templates, notes, captured web content, and optional connected calendar overlays. Some features run locally in your browser, while optional hosted features require an account and network access.

  • Planner data is stored locally in your browser unless you enable hosted sync or submit content to a hosted capture endpoint
  • Cloud Sync is optional and stores synchronized planner data for authenticated access across devices
  • Connected calendar features use read-only access to show events inside Kiroku
  • Browser extension, Edge extension, and bookmarklet capture tools submit only the content you choose to capture

3. Accounts and Security

You are responsible for the security of your account, credentials, devices, and browser storage. You must provide accurate account information and keep your sign-in methods secure. If you use Kiroku on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

  • You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account
  • You must promptly notify us if you believe your account or capture keys have been compromised
  • You may not share accounts in a way that bypasses access controls, seat limits, or security controls
  • We may require additional verification or suspend access if we suspect abuse, compromise, or unauthorized use

4. Your Data and Content

You retain ownership of tasks, notes, templates, screenshots, captured page content, calendar selections, and other content you create or submit through Kiroku (“Your Content”). You grant us the limited rights necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and provide the Service.

  • You are responsible for Your Content and for having the rights needed to store, sync, or capture it
  • You should export or back up important planner data; browser storage can be cleared by your browser or device
  • We do not claim ownership of Your Content
  • We may remove content or restrict access when required by law, security needs, or these Terms

5. Acceptable Use

You may not use Kiroku to:

  • Violate any law, regulation, contract, intellectual property right, privacy right, or third-party right
  • Upload, capture, store, or distribute unlawful, harmful, abusive, or infringing content
  • Attempt to access accounts, data, systems, or networks without authorization
  • Interfere with, overload, scan, scrape, reverse engineer, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
  • Bypass rate limits, security controls, authentication, subscription limits, or usage restrictions
  • Use the Service to distribute malware, spam, phishing, credential harvesting, or deceptive content

6. Third-Party Services and Integrations

Kiroku may integrate with third-party services such as Google, Microsoft 365, Apple, browser vendors, email providers, hosting providers, and database providers. Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms, policies, permissions, and account settings.

  • Connected calendar access is read-only and depends on permissions granted by your account or organization
  • Third-party services may change, suspend, or revoke APIs, permissions, tokens, or access at any time
  • We are not responsible for third-party service outages, policy changes, data handling, or account decisions
  • You can revoke connected account access through Kiroku settings or through the applicable third-party account settings

7. Cloud Sync, Availability, and Backups

Cloud Sync and hosted capture features are provided on a reasonable-efforts basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features to improve security, reliability, compliance, or the product.

  • We do not guarantee that sync will be uninterrupted, instant, or error-free
  • You are responsible for reviewing sync prompts, exports, backups, and recovery snapshots
  • We may limit retention, size, frequency, or availability of sync and capture data
  • Important schedules and records should be backed up outside of Kiroku

8. Plans, Payments, and Taxes

If Kiroku offers paid plans, subscriptions, invoices, trials, or usage-based features, payment terms shown at checkout or in an order form also apply. Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in writing.

  • You authorize applicable charges for selected paid plans and renewals
  • You are responsible for taxes, duties, and similar governmental charges unless otherwise stated
  • Failure to pay may result in suspension, downgrade, or loss of access to paid features
  • We may change pricing or plan features with notice where required

9. Intellectual Property

Kiroku, including its software, design, interfaces, workflows, documentation, trademarks, logos, and other materials, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.

You may submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions. We may use that feedback without restriction or obligation to you.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information. By using Kiroku, you also agree to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kiroku is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, accuracy, reliability, and data preservation.

Kiroku is a planning and productivity tool. It is not a system of record, emergency service, legal, financial, medical, compliance, or professional advice service.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, use, business opportunity, or business interruption.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to Kiroku for the Service in the twelve months before the claim or USD $100.

13. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Kiroku at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if we believe you violated these Terms, created security risk, caused operational risk, failed to pay applicable fees, or if continued access would create legal or compliance risk.

After termination, sections intended to survive will continue to apply, including provisions about Your Content, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the applicable laws of the state where Kiroku is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree to resolve disputes in the state or federal courts located in the United States, unless applicable law requires a different forum.
