AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS

We are Kafkai Giken, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), a company registered in Japan at FPG Links Jinnan 5F, Jinnan 1-11-4 Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0041. Our Corporate Number is 6010503006280. We operate the website https://kafkai.com/ (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services"). The Services include the Model Context Protocol server described in Clause 1 below.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("User", "you"), and the Company, concerning your access to and use of the Services.

If you are accessing the Services through an authorized reseller of the Company, the payment terms and data handling practices outlined in your agreement with that reseller will take precedence over the corresponding sections of these Legal Terms. All other sections of these Legal Terms will remain in full effect.

You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms ("Terms").

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Legal Terms by your continued use of the Services after the date such revised Legal Terms are posted.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

We recommend that you print a copy of these Terms for your records.

1. OUR SERVICES

  1. The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
  2. The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
  3. The Services consist of a Model Context Protocol ("MCP") server together with a supporting web interface. The MCP server holds the data belonging to your projects, performs computation on that data, and returns structured results and recommendations to the software you connect to it (the "Output"). The web interface is used for administration of your account, which includes your account details, your credit balance, and your usage records.
  4. The Services do not include a language model. You supply your own, and use the Services from an agent or other MCP-compatible software of your own choosing, on the terms set out in Clause 3 below.
  5. The Services do not write, publish, or approve content for you. Every decision about what to write, whether to publish it, and where to publish it remains yours, and you are responsible for reviewing anything you publish.
  6. We do not sell rank tracking, and we make no promise or guarantee of any ranking, traffic, revenue, or other search or commercial outcome. Data obtained from third-party sources, including search-engine and search-performance data, is estimated, is supplied to us by those sources, and may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. The Output is informational only, does not constitute professional advice, and you remain responsible for the decisions you take on the basis of it.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Our intellectual property and of third-parties

  1. We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in the Services (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks") except those which are owned by third-parties ("Other Marks").
  2. Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws (and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws) and treaties in Japan and around the world.
  3. The Content and Marks are provided in or through the Services "AS IS" for your personal use, for your own internal business purpose, or for the business purpose of a client on whose behalf you use the Services, and for no other purpose.
  4. Other Marks are owned by their respective owners. We do not make any representations or guarantees for the rights to their use granted hereunder to you.

Your use of our Services

  1. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, including the 'PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES' section below, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license — solely for your personal use, for your own internal business purpose, or for the business purpose of a client on whose behalf you use the Services — to:
    • access the Services, including from an agent or other MCP-compatible software under your control; and
    • download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have properly gained access.
  2. Except as set out in this section or elsewhere in our Legal Terms, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.
  3. If you wish to make any use of the Services, Content, or Marks other than as set out in this section or elsewhere in our Legal Terms, please address your request to: [email protected]. If we ever grant you the permission to post, reproduce, or publicly display any part of our Services or Content, you must identify us as the owners or licensors of the Services, Content, or Marks and ensure that any copyright or proprietary notice appears or is visible on posting, reproducing, or displaying our Content.
  4. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Services, Content, and Marks. No licence under any patent of ours is granted to you by these Terms or by your use of the Services.
  5. Any breach of these Intellectual Property Rights will constitute a material breach of these Legal Terms and your right to use our Services will terminate immediately.

The Output of the Services

  1. The data you enter into a project, and the content you connect to a project, remain yours. We claim no ownership of them.

  2. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and to payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable licence to use, reproduce, and adapt the Output for your own business purposes and for the business purposes of the client on whose behalf you obtained it, including in material you publish.

  3. Except with our prior written permission, you may not:

    • sell, resell, license, sublicense, rent, or otherwise redistribute the Output, in whole or in part, to anyone other than the client on whose behalf you obtained it;
    • store, compile, or aggregate the Output in order to build a database, dataset, archive, or data product for sale, licensing, or distribution to third parties, or for use by anyone other than you or that client;
    • offer the Output to third parties as a substitute for access to the Services; or
    • use the Output to develop or train a service that competes with the Services.

    Ordinary storage of the Output for your own use and that of your client, including in Your Agent, in your own systems, and in the material you publish, is not restricted by this item.

  4. Requests for permission under item 3 must be sent to [email protected]. Permission, if granted, will be in writing, may be limited to a named recipient or a named use, and may be revoked if its terms are not observed. The licence in item 2 is granted on the condition that you comply with item 3, and the restrictions in item 3 survive termination of your account.

  5. The Output is not exclusive to you. It is derived in part from third-party data and from methods applied uniformly across users, and another user supplying similar inputs may receive similar or identical Output.

Your submissions

Please review this section and the 'PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES' section carefully prior to using our Services to understand the (a) rights you give us and (b) obligations you have when you post or upload any content through the Services.

  1. Submissions: By sending us any question, comment, suggestion, idea, feedback, or other information about the Services ("Submissions"), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from, and display such Submissions for any lawful purpose, including marketing and business purposes, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. You retain all intellectual property rights in your Submissions.
  2. You are responsible for what you post or upload: By sending us Submissions through any part of the Services you:
    • confirm that you have read and agree with our 'PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES' and will not post, send, publish, upload, or transmit through the Services any Submission that is illegal, harassing, hateful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, bullying, abusive, discriminatory, threatening to any person or group, sexually explicit, false, inaccurate, deceitful, or misleading;
    • to the extent permissible by applicable law, waive any and all moral rights to any such Submission;
    • warrant that any such Submission are original to you or that you have the necessary rights and licenses to submit such Submissions and that you have full authority to grant us the above-mentioned rights in relation to your Submissions; and
    • warrant and represent that your Submissions do not constitute confidential information.
  3. You are solely responsible for your Submissions and you expressly agree to reimburse us for any and all losses that we may suffer because of your breach of (a) this section, (b) any third party’s intellectual property rights, or (c) any applicable law.

3. THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS AND CONTENT

Use of Third-Party Resources

  1. The Services may incorporate, provide access to, or generate content using third-party materials including but not limited to images, data and other resources ("Third-Party Materials").
  2. While we make commercially reasonable efforts to source and integrate Third-Party Materials that are appropriately licensed for use within the Services, we make no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding:
    • the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Third-Party Materials;
    • the continued availability of any Third-Party Materials;
    • the licensing status or intellectual property rights associated with Third-Party Materials; or
    • the suitability of Third-Party Materials for your specific use case or jurisdiction.

Your Responsibility

  1. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of any content generated by the Services, including any Third-Party Materials incorporated therein, complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and third-party rights in your jurisdiction and for your specific use case.
  2. You agree to independently verify the licensing terms, usage rights, and any restrictions associated with Third-Party Materials before using, publishing, distributing, or otherwise exploiting such content.
  3. You acknowledge that licensing terms for Third-Party Materials may change, be revoked, or differ based on your intended use (commercial, editorial, geographic restrictions, attribution requirements, etc.).

Limitation of Liability

  1. The Company shall not be liable for any claims, damages, losses, or legal actions arising from your use, misuse, or inability to use Third-Party Materials, including but not limited to claims of copyright infringement, trademark violation, or breach of licensing terms.
  2. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any such claims as set forth in Section 18 of these Terms.

Third-Party Language Models and Agents

  1. The Services are designed to be used together with a language model, agent, or other MCP-compatible software that is supplied by a third party and chosen by you ("Your Agent"). Your Agent is not part of the Services. Your use of Your Agent, the fees you pay for it, and the way its provider handles the data it receives are governed by your agreement with that provider and not by these Terms.
  2. By connecting Your Agent to the Services, you instruct us to return Output to it. Data returned to Your Agent leaves our control at that point and may be transmitted to, processed by, or retained by the provider of Your Agent under that provider's own terms. You are responsible for satisfying yourself that this is acceptable for the data concerned, and for obtaining any consent or authorisation required for it.

4. USER REPRESENTATIONS

  1. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
    • all registration information you submit will be true, accurate, current, and complete;
    • you will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update such registration information as necessary;
    • you have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Terms;
    • you are not a minor in the jurisdiction in which you reside;
    • you will not access the Services through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script or otherwise, unless through methods we permit, which include our API and our MCP server accessed with credentials issued to you;
    • you will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose;
    • your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.
  2. You are responsible for everything done through your account and credentials, including everything done by an agent, automation, or other software that you connect to the Services, whether or not you reviewed each action before it was taken. Such an action is treated as your own for the purposes of these Terms, including for the consumption of Credits.
  3. If you use the Services on behalf of a client or another organisation, you represent that you are authorised to do so, you remain responsible to us under these Terms for that use, and you are responsible for that party's compliance with these Terms.
  4. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof).

5. USER REGISTRATION AND CREDENTIALS

You may be required to register to use the Services. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

API credentials

  1. If the Company approves a User's usage application based upon review by the Company, the Company will issue credentials (hereinafter referred to as "Credentials") for the User to use to access the Services. Credentials include API keys and any token, key, or other secret used to connect Your Agent to the Services.
  2. The User shall be held responsible for managing the Credentials issued by the Company, and shall not transfer, lend, or disclose them to any third parties. However, this shall not apply in cases where it must be disclosed due to the nature of a program or application developed using this Service.
  3. The User shall be held responsible for inadequate management, misuse, and damage to third parties caused by the usage of the Credentials, and if the User finds that the Credentials have been used by a third party without authorization, the User shall report it to the Company without delay.
  4. Even in cases of unauthorized usage of the Credentials, the Company shall consider this to be appropriate usage by the User, and shall not accept any responsibility whatsoever for damages incurred by this usage.
  5. If the Company can reasonably assume that there has been usage by a User who has not completed the required registration procedures, or if the Company judges it necessary due to the burden on the Service, the Company may restrict the usage or access for the User or Credentials.
  6. If the Company determines that there has been a violation of the Legal Terms by a User, or if the Company determines that a User's usage of the Service is inappropriate, the Company may restrict that User's access at its discretion without contacting the User.

Connected data sources

  1. The Services allow you to connect third-party accounts and properties that you own or are authorised to use, such as a Google Search Console property, a content management system, or another analytics or publishing account (each a "Connected Account").
  2. By connecting a Connected Account you authorise us to access, retrieve, store, and process data from it for the purpose of providing the Services to you, and you represent that you hold the rights and permissions necessary to grant that authorisation for every property you connect.
  3. You may disconnect a Connected Account at any time. Disconnection stops further retrieval. It does not by itself delete data already retrieved and held in your project, which you may remove through the Services or by asking us to remove it.
  4. We access Connected Accounts only to the extent needed to provide the Services to you. We do not use data retrieved from your Connected Accounts to provide services to another User, except in an aggregated or anonymised form that does not identify you, your projects, or your properties.

Deletion of accounts

In order to conserve resources and to provide the best service to you, the Company may delete your account in the following cases:

  1. The User has not made any purchase on the Service and 90 days have passed since the User registered.
  2. The User has not used the Service for a consecutive period of 90 days. Use of the Service includes signing in to the Site and any authenticated request made to our API or to our MCP server, whether made by the User or by an agent or automation acting under the User's Credentials.

6. PROHIBITION OF ASSIGNMENT

User may not assign their position or any rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party, nor provide them as collateral, without prior written consent from the Company.

7. PURCHASES AND PAYMENT

The following terms in this Section apply to users who contract directly with the Company. If you are accessing the Services through an authorized reseller, you might have different terms. Please refer to your agreement with that reseller.

  2. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made via the Services. You further agree to promptly update account and payment information, including email address, payment method, and payment card expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. Sales or Value Added (VAT) tax will be added to the price of purchases as deemed required by us. We may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in the currency shown during the checkout process.
  3. You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your purchases and any applicable fees, and you authorize us to charge your chosen payment provider for any such amounts upon placing your order. If your order is subject to recurring charges, then you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as you cancel the applicable order. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment.
  4. We reserve the right to refuse any order placed through the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same payment method, and/or orders that use the same billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.

8. SUBSCRIPTIONS

The following terms in this Section apply to users who contract directly with the Company. If you are accessing the Services through an authorized reseller, you might have different terms. Please refer to your agreement with that reseller.

  1. Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). The User will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a weekly, monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
  2. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the same conditions unless you cancel it or we cancel it. The User may cancel its Subscription renewal either through the User's online account management page or by contacting our customer support team.
  3. A valid payment method is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide to the Company accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, postcode code, telephone number, and valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize the Company to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
  4. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Services will send a notification indicating that the User must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the notification. The Service reserves the right to restrict the User's access to the Service until full payment is made.

9. FREE TRIAL AND CREDITS

  1. Depending on the plan or package, we may offer a free trial to new Users who register with the Services. Where the free trial is attached to a Subscription, the account will be charged according to the Subscription the User has chosen at the end of the free trial.
  2. The duration of the free trial will be shown at the time the trial is offered.
  3. The Company may grant Credits to a User free of charge, whether on registration, as part of a free trial, or as part of a campaign or other offer ("Free Credits").

  4. Free Credits are subject to the 'CREDITS' section below in the same way as purchased Credits, except that they carry no monetary value, are not exchangeable for cash, and are not refundable. The Company may give Free Credits a period of validity, or a scope of use, that differs from that of purchased Credits, and will state it when the Free Credits are granted or on the Site.
  5. Where a User holds both Free Credits and purchased Credits, the Company determines the order in which they are consumed and states that order on the Site.
  6. The Company may withdraw, reduce, or expire Free Credits at any time, and the User is not entitled to compensation for Free Credits that are withdrawn, reduced, expired, or cancelled.

10. CREDITS

The following terms in this Section apply to users who contract directly with the Company. If you are accessing the Services through an authorized reseller, you might have different terms. Please refer to your agreement with that reseller.

The Company sells dedicated credits (hereinafter referred to as "Credits") to the User that can be applied to the usage fee. If the User wishes to buy Credits, the User must submit the separate application specified by the Company and provide the information required to pay the necessary fee.

  1. Credits are to be sold in units specified by the Company.
  2. The amount of Credits consumed through the use of the Services shall be shown to the User on the Site.
  3. Credits are consumed at the time a request is made to the Services. The rates in effect are published on the Site.
  4. Credits are consumed by every request made under the User's Credentials, including a request made automatically by an agent or other software the User has connected to the Services. The User is responsible for those requests and for the Credits they consume, whether or not the User reviewed each request before it was made.
  5. Credits shall be valid for 90 days. When calculating the period of validity for Credits, the date upon which the Credits were acquired (or the date upon which they were purchased) shall be counted as the first day. The Company shall show the expiry date of a User's Credits on the Site and shall notify the User before those Credits expire.
  6. Payment to purchase Credits shall be made using methods specified by the Company on the Site, or as communicated to the User separately.
  7. Users may not share, combine, gift, lend, pledge, transfer, or sell Credits between one another.
  8. If a User corresponds to any of the following, the Company may cancel the User's Credits in whole or part. The Company does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for the cancelled Credits. Furthermore, if the Company determines that Credits were used in an unauthorized manner, the Company may claim damages against the relevant User.
    1. The User acquired Credits illicitly.
    2. The User commits an act that violates the preceding Paragraph (prohibition on transfer of credits) or 'PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES' below.
    3. The User otherwise violates these Terms.
    4. The Company otherwise determines that it is appropriate to cancel the User's Credits.
  9. Except for individually contracted accounts, if the User withdraws from the Services or the User's account is deleted under 'USER REGISTRATION AND CREDENTIALS' above, the unused portion of the User's Credits shall lapse. The Company does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for Credits that lapse in this way, and they are not refundable.
  10. The Company may change the number of Credits consumed for the use of the Services by informing the User in advance through an announcement on the Site or another method the Company deems appropriate, and the User consents to this.

11. REFUNDS

The following terms in this Section apply to users who contract directly with the Company. If you are accessing the Services through an authorized reseller, you might have different terms. Please refer to your agreement with that reseller.

  1. Refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and granted in sole discretion of the Company.
  2. All granted refunds are subject to 20% refund processing fee of the amount refunded, subject to the conditions below.

Credit Purchases

  1. If the User contacts the Company to request a refund for Credits within three (3) days of the purchase, the User may receive a refund only for the unused portion of the Credits.
    1. The value of the unused portion is calculated at the average price paid for the Credits, excluding tax.
    2. The unused portion must be worth at least JPY1,000 for a refund to be made. The 20% refund processing fee is deducted from that value, so an unused portion worth JPY1,000 is refunded as JPY800. An unused portion worth less than JPY1,000 cannot be refunded.
    3. Unless the payment was made by another payment method as specified by the Company, the refund method shall be by bank transfer to an account in the User's name. However, when issuing a bank transfer, the transfer fees shall be borne by the User.

Subscriptions

  1. The User can request a refund for the last monthly rebill within three (3) days of the charge, provided that there was no usage at all since the last rebill.
