These Terms govern the use of the app "Furusato Collection — Return-Gift Log" (the "App") between the user and the provider (Studio Yourmini, the "Provider"). By using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms. They apply to both the iOS and Android versions.

Article 2 (Nature of the App)

The App is an information-management tool for recording and managing the furusato-nozei donations you make and the return gifts you receive. It does not provide advice, agency, or procedural services regarding furusato-nozei, donations, or taxes, and does not solicit or recommend donating to any particular municipality or for any particular gift. Please make actual donations and tax-deduction procedures yourself through each municipality, furusato-nozei portal site, or tax office.

Article 3 (Own responsibility)

Whether and how much you can deduct via furusato-nozei depends on your income, family situation, various deductions, and so on. Donation and tax decisions and procedures are your own responsibility. The Provider is not responsible for your decisions or actions based on the App's information.

Article 4 (Entered data and reference values)

The donation-limit estimate, yearly totals, year-over-year comparisons, shipping schedules and the like shown in the App are reference values based on what you enter and are not guaranteed to be accurate or complete. For your exact deduction limit and eligibility, check with your municipality, the tax office, or a professional such as a tax accountant. For the necessity, timing and deadlines of the one-stop exception or a tax return, and for a gift's actual contents and shipping timing, check the published information of each municipality and furusato-nozei portal site. Shipping/deadline notifications are a supplementary feature; the Provider is not liable for losses due to non-delivery or delay.
