Terms of Service

Last updated: July 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("these Terms") set out the conditions for using Select photo (the "Service"). Please read them carefully before using the Service.

Article 1 (Application)

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including photographers and clients. By using the Service, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.

Article 2 (Description of the Service)

The Service consists of the following features. Depending on your plan, you may use either or both:

  • Photo selection: allows photographers to share photos with clients, and clients to select photos from those shared with them
  • Customer management (CRM): allows photographers to record and manage information about their own customers (e.g., families who commission shoots)

Additional terms governing the CRM feature are set out in Article 7-3 (CRM feature terms).

Article 3 (Prohibited conduct; photographer responsibility)

The following conduct is prohibited:

  • Acts that violate applicable law or public order and morals
  • Uploading photos that infringe a third party's copyright, right of publicity/portrait rights, or privacy
  • Unauthorized access to the Service or reverse engineering
  • Conduct that disturbs other users
  • Conduct that interferes with the operation of the Service
  • Unauthorized reproduction or redistribution for commercial purposes

Photographers are solely responsible for obtaining, from the subjects photographed and from their clients, any consent required to upload and share photos through the Service (including consent regarding portrait rights and personal data). Where a subject is a minor, consent from a parent or legal guardian is also required. The operator is not a party to, and does not mediate, disputes between a photographer and their clients or the subjects photographed.

When registering personal data of a third party (a customer and their family) in the CRM feature, photographers must have lawfully obtained that data from the third party and must provide any explanation reasonably necessary regarding its registration with the Service. Photographers must not register information that may constitute special care-required personal data (e.g., medical history, disability, or creed) in the CRM feature's free-text fields (contact history, notes) without the consent of the data subject (or their legal guardian, if a minor).

Article 4 (Intellectual property)

Copyright in photos uploaded by a user remains with the user who uploaded them. The Service does not acquire copyright in any photo. Copyright in the Service's systems, design, and code belongs to the operator.

Users grant the operator a license to technically process uploaded photos to the extent necessary to provide the Service (e.g., generating thumbnails, applying watermarks, producing ZIP downloads). This license is limited to the purpose of providing the Service; the operator will not disclose, sell, or use photos for third-party advertising or promotional purposes.

Article 5 (Disclaimer; limitation of liability)

  • The operator is not liable for outages or data loss caused by third-party services such as Supabase or Vercel, except where caused by the operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence
  • The operator does not mediate disputes between users, except where caused by the operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence
  • The operator is not liable for damage caused by force majeure (disasters, war, communications failures, etc.)

Where the operator is liable for damages, the amount of such liability is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees paid by the user for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ¥10,000, except for damage caused by the operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 6 (Suspension and deletion of accounts)

The operator may suspend or delete the account of a user who materially breaches these Terms. In such cases, the operator will make reasonable efforts to notify the user in advance and provide an opportunity to retrieve their data. Where urgent action is required (e.g., unauthorized access, violation of law), the operator may suspend an account without prior notice. Users may request deletion of their own account at any time.

Article 7 (Fees and payment)

The Service offers a Free plan and paid plans. Fees for paid plans are as listed on the Service's pricing page (tax included) and are charged by credit card.

  • Paid plans are monthly or annual subscriptions
  • For annual billing, the Light plan is ¥9,600 (tax included), the Standard plan is ¥18,960 (tax included), and the Pro plan is ¥47,760 (tax included), each charged as a lump sum
  • The standalone CRM (Customer Management) plan is ¥680/month (tax included) or ¥6,600/year (tax included, charged as a lump sum). It is included at no extra charge for Standard and Pro plan subscribers
  • The contract term is one month or one year and renews automatically on the same terms unless canceled
  • Billing occurs immediately upon signup (monthly plans renew on the same date each month; annual plans renew on the same date each year)
  • You may cancel at any time from the "Settings" page in your dashboard (please cancel before your next renewal date)
  • After cancellation, you may continue using the Service until the end of the current contract period
  • If you delete your account, you forfeit any remaining right to use the Service for the rest of the contract period, and no refund will be issued
  • Due to the nature of digital services, pro-rated refunds are not provided in principle, except where caused by circumstances attributable to the operator
  • If you believe there is a material defect in the Service, please contact us by email

Article 7-2 (Use by minors)

The Service is intended for users aged 18 and over. Users under 18 may not use the Service. If a user under 18 enters into a paid plan without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, that contract may be rescinded.

Article 7-3 (CRM feature terms)

This Article applies to all users of the customer management (CRM) feature, whether used together with the photo selection feature or contracted for on a standalone basis.

  1. (Data handling roles) For personal data of customers (third parties) registered in the CRM feature, the photographer acts as the data controller under Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and bears responsibility for specifying and notifying the purpose of use, lawfully obtaining data, obtaining consent from the data subject (or their legal guardian, if a minor) where necessary, and responding to requests for disclosure and other obligations under that Act. The operator processes such data solely as a processor acting on the photographer's instructions and within the scope entrusted, and will not use it beyond the entrusted purpose.
  2. (Export and deletion) Photographers may export customer data registered in the CRM feature as a CSV file at any time, and may delete individual customer records at any time.
  3. (Handling upon termination) If a photographer's CRM contract ends, the operator will keep customer data exportable for 30 days from the termination date. After that period, the operator will delete the customer data without undue delay. "If a photographer's CRM contract ends" includes both cancellation of a standalone CRM subscription and loss of CRM access resulting from a downgrade from the Standard or Pro plan to the Light or Free plan.
  4. (Representations and warranties) Photographers represent and warrant that all customer data registered in the CRM feature was lawfully obtained and that any consent or other procedure necessary for the operator's processing of that data for the purpose of providing the Service has been completed.

Article 8 (Changes to or termination of the Service)

The operator may change or discontinue the Service. If the Service is to be discontinued, the operator will provide at least 30 days' notice within the Service or by email wherever possible, and will make reasonable efforts to keep data exportable for 30 days after that notice, except where immediate discontinuation is unavoidable due to legal requirements, misconduct, or force majeure.

Article 9 (Changes to these Terms)

The operator may amend these Terms. For material changes, the operator will provide at least 30 days' notice within the Service or by email before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.

Article 10 (No assignment; severability)

Users may not assign their rights or obligations under these Terms to a third party without the operator's prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid under applicable law, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

Article 11 (Governing law; jurisdiction)

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court or the Tokyo Summary Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance over any dispute arising in connection with the Service.
